Rogue's point of view

I sat alone outside. It was a cold day, but it didn't bother me. I was numb inside and out. My crush on Scott had faded. I knew we wouldn't be together. We couldn't be together. We wouldn't be together because he loved Jean. We couldn't be together because of my powers. I had always felt so alone because I couldn't ouch anyone, but I could. I just couldn't touch anyone without them getting hurt. And it depends upon the kind of person it is. Like Gambit.

That's the kind of guy who is not faithful, not too wise, and not afraid. Yet that kind of scares me that he isn't afraid. I heard rustling in the tree I was sitting under as it dragged me out of my thoughts. Then down dropped Gambit. Great. There were also other things about Gambit or Remy as he liked me to call him. He was annoying, a flirt, and a thief.

"What do ya want swamp rat?" I asked not hesitating to let my annoyance show.

"Well, Remy was bored and just so happened to be in the neighborhood. So, he decided to stop by and spend some time with Rogue." Remy said with a smirk on his face.

"And so to fix your boredom ya decided to annoy meh to death? Sounds great." I said dryly.

"Oh, don't be like that chere. Remy likes ya too much to annoy ya to death. He'd only annoy you close to death." Remy said as his smirk grew wider.

"Why don't ya mess with Jean or Kitty or-"

"Cere, they just aren't fun enough." Remy said.

"Oh joy. I'm fun now." I said in annoyance.

"Ya always been fun chere." Remy said.

"Why do ya bother meh?" I asked.

"Cause, Remy likes ya." Remy said.

"How can I make ya not like meh?"

"'t's impossible." Remy replied. "Remy wants to take ya on a date."

"Mhmm… And how do I know it's not just Magneto tryin' to be friends with the X-Men?" I asked.

"Maybe this will help." Remy said before kissing me. It was a shock at first, but then I actually started kissing him back, at least until he was unconscious. I sighed. There was no trace of Magneto wanting to get close to the X-Men. But there were a lot of times Remy was watching me that I didn't know about. I'd have to scold him about that… when we're on our date.
