Chapter I: Mixed Emotions.

Bayville , a week after Christmas

Lance walked by the snow filled park , as henneded time alone.

The rest of the brotherhood had gone to the mall , and since he hadn`t seen Kitty in a week , he wasnt in the mood for fun.

Then he noticed familiar shape , sitted in a chair in the park`s open café.

It was Rogue.

He pulled a chair , and sitted in front of her.

Hi- he said.

Go away!- She said without even looking at him.

Why?- he asked softly.

Leave me alone!- she souned like she had been crying.

Trouble with Scott?- He asked.- Let me guess , Jean and the others are coming back today.

She looked up , showing her face , and her eyes , wich were red and tired.

How did you know?-She asked , with less hostility in her voice.

Come on Rogue , you lived with us for months , and even there i noticed you got something for that Summers`s , and now that the Red-head is back , you fear that your bond will fade , right?- he said calmly.

It`s just that ah dont know what to do , he is always with Jean or Taryn , always ignoring me , like ah was just a chip on his shoulder.- Rogue started crying.- It`s so stupid , you know , that ah feel something for someone as him.

Thats not stupid at all! Listen Rogue , someday , that idiot is going to realise about what a wonderfull person you are , it`s not your fault , is his.- Lance reacted inmediatly.

Lance...- she said.

He grabbed her hand.

You are one of the most beautifull persons i know , and the fact that you leaved the brotherhood didnt changed that opinion.

You have to know that this isnt something you can fix , you have to realise that you arent the girl that hated everyone anymore , you`ve become part of a family , and someday , you will be able to get Summers to notice how you really feel about him. Hell , if a total jerk like me can get Kitty to smile at him , you`ve practically got him in the bag.-Lance concluded.

Rouge just stared at him , looking at his face.

And the she smiled , and he smiled back at her.

She got up from her chair , and looked at him.

Would you like to walk me home?- she asked.

It`ll be my pleasure- he said as he took her arm , and started walking.

The institute gates.

Lance and Rogue stared in front of each other.

Thanks Lance , you`ve been ah wonderfull.-she said as the gates opened.

It was nothing ...- He said as she walked into the mansion.

Hey , Rogue?.- he called her name.

Yeah?-she asked.

If ya ever need a place to crash , even if it is for a while , your room is still intact.- he said.

Thanks- she said as he waved her goodbye.

And Rogue started walking in the mansion`s direction , looking at the cars in the driveway.

And she felt a shadow over her soul.



The Brotherhood`s house , 11:30 pm.

Lance was the only one awake , as Tabitha`s shopping frenzy had drained the energies out of even Pietro..

He was holding a cup of cCocoa in his hand , when the bell ringed.

He got up and opened the door.

The cup fell from his hand.

Rogue was standing in front of him , a shoulder bag at her feet`s.

Ah hope that offer is still up...- she said.

The End.

Okay people , this is a two part story , so give me your opinions , and ill post the second part based on what i hear.

I didnt inted to do a Rola (Rogue / Lance) , but an storythat showed how Lance and Rogue are the same in a lot of ways.

Well see ya

Ryoken.
