Disclaimer: This movie and the characters do not belong to me, and if they did, Rogue and Logan would've TOTALLY ended up together! Right? Right! Okay, here goes!

Rogue could feel his pain before she heard his grunt reverberate through the walls of the school.

"Not again" she thought, as she quickly pulled back her covers and jumped out of bed. Just as she finished pulling on the second sleeve of her plush robe, a ripping noise loud enough to be heard in the hallways echoed. Rogue sprinted down the hallway to Logan's bedroom and saw a child's head peek out from its own door down the way, eyes wide with fearful curiosity. Rogue gave a small smile and a tiny wink in the kid's direction and quietly opened the door to Logan's room.

As soon as she closed the door behind her, she gasped in surprise at the scene in front of her. Logan was standing behind his bed with his claws extended, and the wall paper was torn from top to bottom on every wall. His eyes were a mix of crazy and sleep at the same time. Rogue turned on the light and stood in front of him with her arms crossed. She stood there for a few moments until his claws retracted and he opened his eyes completely, taking in the fearless girl in front of him.

"Sorry" Logan whispered gruffly, and looked around. "I must've had a bad dream."

Rogue put her arms down by her side and took a few steps forward toward his bed, keeping her eyes locked on his face.

"That," she said with a smirk. "Is an understatement if I've ever heard one, mister."

He gave a tiny smile back in her direction, and took another look around the room while running a hand through his hair. Rogue took a seat in the middle of the floor and patted the spot across from her. He hesitated for a moment, then sat Indian style in the spot she patted. They locked gazes for a moment, but Logan broke away first, staring at the floor with a gaze that could only be described as ashamed. Rogue clucked her tongue and softly patted his face back up.

"Well, I think the room looks much better. Who likes blue pin stripes anyway?"

Logan gave a soft chuckle and ran his hand through his hair again, eyes staring up at the ceiling. Rogue grabbed his hand and let her gloved thumb trace patterns on the back side of his hand. After a couple minutes of staring at the ceiling, he brought his eyes back to hers again.

"Thanks, kid. You…I mean…I just…feel…better, ya know? When you're around, I mean. Calms the inner wolverine, I guess."

His face turned a little pink, and he quickly stood back up with his hand outstretched to help Rogue back up. After she was standing too, she wrapped her arms around his mid-section. Before he had time to react, she pulled away and gave him a peck on the cheek. It was so soft and fast that he was thinking he might have imagined it, but then he saw that her cheeks had become a shade rosier than before.

"Why don't you hop back in bed, wolf man. I'll bring you back a beer and we can watch T.V. or somethin'."

Logan just nodded and walked slowly back to his bed, noticing how wrinkly it had gotten during the night. After he straightened it out a little bit (a little bit), he stretched out in the middle of it, waiting for Rogue to come back.

Rogue… he thought in his head. She's just so…just so… what? What was Rogue to him? A girl? A friend? A really wonderful, sweet, understanding, compassionate woman who's as beautiful on the inside as the outside?

Logan flinched. Where did that come from? he thought. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized how true it was. But that doesn't mean it's right. he thought, and jumped again when his door opened, revealing Rogue in her ridiculous looking robe (not that he'd ever say anything about it) holding a beer with a pink bendy straw in the top. She grinned.

"I just couldn't help myself. I mean, look at it!"

Logan gave her a laugh and shifted over in the bed to give her room. She giggled and laid herself down next to his body, putting the beer on the bedside table.

"So…" Logan said, stretching his arm around her shoulders and feeling his heart speed up when she moved an inch closer into his side. "What do you wanna watch?"

Okay, so I suck at ending chapters, but please R&R! The next chapter will be up soon!
