I think this is my third or fourth story for Rogue/Logan from the X-men movie. (Is it sad that I don't know?)Oh well, happy reading all the same!

Italics are thoughts, fyi!

Chapter 1

So it's going to be one of those nights, ain't it. Rogue thought to herself as she flopped her body into a different position for the umpteenth time that night. This time she ended up on her back, staring at the dark ceiling, her blankets half way on, half way off. Her sleep pants and v-neck tee shirt were all wrinkled and hot. She let out a sigh and kicked off her pants.

That's better, she thought, and let her gaze wander around the room.

A bathroom door, closed partially to block out the dripping noise coming from the sink. The blobby outline of the school's sweatshirt she had thrown down earlier, lying on the ground in a heap. Her tiny desk, shoved into the corner of the room.

As her gaze roamed over the corner of her room, a blink of red caused her to swing her focus back to the desk. Squinting, she could make out her open laptop, and squinting even further, she could see that the red flashy light was coming from the computer, signaling that it was just logged off.

Rogue sighed again and swung her legs from underneath her blankets till they reached the carpeted floor. Wriggling her bare toes a little bit, Rogue pushed herself up and walked over to her desk. She promptly sat down in the wooden chair, turned on the side lamp, and faced the laptop, running a hand over her face. Her reflection in the screen showed a sleep deprived 18 year old girl with a slightly messy braid hanging over her shoulder.

She stared at her reflection a little bit longer and then proceeded to hit random keys to get the computer started again. Her home page popped up. As her eyes slowly roamed over the screen, she noticed the little Skype icon jumping up and down.

Who else could be on at… she glanced at her computer's clock… 1:57 in the morning?

Curious, she clicked on Skype. As she waited for it to load, she mentally ran through a list of people who could possibly be on. She ticked the names off on her fingers.

Well, I know Jubes is with Remy tonight, so neither of them are on, Kitty goes to bed at 9 on a Friday, but maybe Bobby? Dear Lord I hope not. I mean, I just broke up with the guy! How awkwa-

Rogue stopped her conversation with herself when she saw who was on. She laughed out loud and was still grinning when she quickly pressed "video call".

Logan's bored and grumpy face filled her computer's screen. Rogue laughed out loud again and leaned back in her chair, content just to look at Logan's face looking back at her. Logan slowly lost his surly mood and his mouth turned up in the corners. He took a swig of his beer.

"What's up, kid?"

Next chapter coming soon! Leave some reviews please! And yes, I'm aware that the chapter is short Writing long chapters makes me bored.
