Short one-shot I put together while on the train…

PS: In my mid this took place after Apocalypse, and Rogue can control her powers.

Enjoy!

The sun was streaming in through the crack in the curtains, its rays dancing on a brunet who was woken up by the touch of the sun.

Her emerald eyes fluttered open, taking in a huge breath of air and slowly releasing it. She snuggled into the chest of a man who was lying beside her. She smiled, looked up at his face and her smile grew.

He was sound asleep, his eyes were closed, his brown hair messy and there was a small smile on his lips.

Rogue ran her hand over his chest then moved up and caressed his neck .

Then she whispered "What did Ah do to deserve you?" then she moved her hand on his face and traced his lips.

Then his lips started kissing her fingers, his red-on-black opened slowly and he whispered back to her "You were born." then leaning in he kissed her forehead .

"Mornin' Remy." Rogue said and snuggled deeper into her lovers chest.

She never knew how being able to touch would make her feel. She knew she'd be happy, and that she'd always wanted to touch, but the feeling she got when she touched him, it was something indescribable, it was that great a feeling.

She didn't know how long they stayed in bed, it might have been minutes or hours, but she didn't care. Time seemed to stop when he was around, like it was only him and her, none else, and she loved it.

She was broken out of the trance when Remy took her hand in his and started kiss each finger gently and lovingly.

"If I wasn't so sure dat I was goin' to hell I would have though I had died and you were an angel watin' fo' me at heavens gates." Then he leaned in and kissed her lips, it wasn't long but it was full of passion, so full that it made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

"You ain't goin' to hell Remy…" Rogue whispered "You did so much good that it over powers the bad" she ran her fingers through his hair "And, if for some mistake you ended up there Ah'd get you out."

Remy then leaned over her and started kissing her, this time with desire and longing. Once again time seemed to stop, it was only her, Remy and the passion that surrounded them…

"Chere," Remy said between kisses "every night I thank God dat he let us be together." Then he paused and looked straight into her eyes "And every time I see you I thank him dat it's you I feel in love with."

She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, she wanted to say something as romantic as he just did, but all she was able to say was "Ah love you." Before letting out a little sob.

He wrapped his arms around her, kissing the top of her head.

"Ah don't even know why Ah'm crying" she said into his chest.

"Love is overwhelming, chere," he said and kissed her nose ''But in de end it all worth it".
