Title: Someday
Summary: Onesided Ryro. Rogue thinks about everything that has happened. And about Pyro. Always about Pyro.
Disclaimer: I own neither anything X-men related nor the song "I'd do anything" which is a Simple Plan song.
A/N: This is the first ever X-men fic I've written. I've only recently seen the second and third movie and I instantly loved the characters. I haven't seen the first movie yet, but I desperately want to! In the meantime I hope to get rid of my addiction by writing this fic. Please review!
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
I know I am supposed to hate you. Or at least loathe you for the way you left. The truth is, I can't. I know we have never been the best of friends, but at least you knew me. You didn't see me as someone you should fear. You were the only one I could talk to about my true thoughts.
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
We talked about leaving. Talked about being free, not being feared. You wanted to feel like a God. I just wanted people to be around me. To want to be around me. We talked about Magneto, the Brotherhood, in hushed voices. Laughing silently as we returned to reality. You used to lock eyes with me and tell me "someday". I always considered it a promise.
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
Now I know that it wasn't a promise. It was a fact, you telling me that you would grab the chance, may opportunity come. And it did, and I knew you were gone before Jean told us. I was angry with you, not because you were suddenly "evil" – I know you aren't, you just don't see things as others do – but because you seemed to have forgotten about me. About my wish to be free. You know that I would never go alone. You know that I would have gone with you, had you asked.
Perhaps that is why you left without saying anything. Perhaps you realised something I haven't. Perhaps you think I am better off here, with Bobby spending more and more time with Kitty.
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
Sometimes it's hard to understand you. How can you be so stupid? How can you just leave me here? How can you totally disregard people's feelings? The professor cared for you. Logan and Jean and Storm cared for you. I cared for you! How can you dismiss all those feelings? Do you really only care about yourself?
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
When I first arrived at school you seemed to like me. When we spent time together, talking more and more – because we both know that I can't talk to Bobby that way – I knew for sure that you liked me. That we were friends. When I got together with Bobby and you pretended that everything was okay between us, I believed that perhaps there was something more between us. When you left, I didn't know what to think. At first I thought that you didn't care. That there was nothing between us. With time I started to think that perhaps you did this to protect me. Because you knew that I had no family, except for the people here at school. Because you knew that, though I wanted to be me, I could never settle for Magneto's way of thinking. Perhaps even because you know I couldn't handle seeing you being...well you.
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back
I remember our dreams. Our hopes. I remember you telling me that I would come to accept myself one day. I remember hearing those words and knowing that you already accepted me the way I was. You didn't shy away when I removed my gloves. You weren't scared to touch my face. I never dared to tell you that I would come to accept myself only as long as you were here to show me how. Perhaps I should have.
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I see your smile. The funny faces you made whenever someone was saying something serious. The way you tried to make me feel better when someone had hurt me.
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
I pray before I go to bed. I pray to whatever God there may be, that he will protect you. I pray to you that you won't let yourself get hurt. I pray that you start thinking before you act.
And I pray that you will come back to me. I don't know what will happen if you do. I don't know if you would come back to take me with you, or that you would stay here. I don't even know what I would prefer.
And I'd do anything for you
I just know I need you to be me.
Review please!
