A/N: I just don't know when to quit do I? Bad Zany, SS needs updating…
He strolls into the house
Like he owns it
And her brother sputters
And the boys yell
And he raises one deceptively cool
Eyebrow, and asks to speak to the
Person in charge.
And because they
Are under no delusions
That that person is
Any of them,
They do as he says
And yell up the stairs for her.
She comes down immediately,
Purposely acting as if she
Had not been standing at the top
Of the stairs, just out of sight.
Pietro sputters, Toad whines,
Lance rumbles, Freddy goes back
To the kitchen because he really doesn't care,
And the whole time,
He stands there, one
Fire-colored eyebrow arched
Above one eye the color of
The sky in June,
And a little tilt to
His lips that says
He's trying his hardest
Not to burst out laughing.
Her own lips are twitching
But for a different reason.
She's finding it difficult
To decide whether to
Kill him right off,
Or to find a more private place
So that she doesn't have to
Hide the body.
The little voice in her head
(That sounds suspiciously
Like Rogue) is telling
Her there's a third option,
And it has nothing whatsoever
To do with his death.
(Although torture is not
Out of the question,
Depending on how
He views hex bolts.)
She is surprised at this suggestion
Coming from Rogue, but
Then she remembers that it's
Her suggestion cloaked
In Rogue's voice.
And then she flushes a little,
Partly because of the
Nature of the suggestion,
And partly because
She is frustrated that
She can't even keep it together
For a few minutes
To give him a piece of her mind.
A full-fledged smile breaks
Out when she blushes,
And his voice,
Smooth and soft,
Sweetly accented
Sweeps into the din
And stops her brother's ranting
In its tracks.
"'Ello, sheila. Been awhile, eh?"
She shoots him
A dirty look, and
Prepares to hex
Him through the still-open
Front door, but then,
She catches a glimpse of
A future with
Pietro's approval, and
Toad's continued
Harassment if she
Does such a thing, and she
Thinks fast, and okay,
Yes, she listens to Rogue- herself,
And she cocks a hip like
She's seen her Southern friend do
When talking to the Cajun thief
And she smirks at him as she says,
"It's only been a day, Firebug,
Yeesh, if I'd known you were this
Clingy, I would've thought
Twice before agreeing
To go out with you."
Every male in the house stares
At her, and his eyes
Are confused, but slowly
Brightening in
Understanding.
Silently, her own eyes
Plead with him to play
Along, and really,
She isn't surprised when
He blows out a breath
And relaxes against
The stair-rail.
"Wey-al," he
Drawls, "I guess I
Just can't stay away."
The expression on
The boys' faces is priceless,
And she makes
A mental note that she owes him one.
(Of course, her Rogue-voice chooses
This moment to pipe up
With some ideas on how
She can pay him back
And she blushes again.)
He smiles when she does,
And she really can't help
But notice that he's
An extremely
Attractive person,
And his teeth are very white
And straight, and his blue
Eyes are very compatible
With his orange hair,
And his lips are turned
Up just so…
She catches her breath,
Throws reason to the wind,
And shoots him a saucy grin
That at least gives him a second to
Prepare for what she's about to do.
Ignoring her brother's yelp,
And Toad's shocked squeal,
She bounces down the steps
Into his arms, and plants a
Kiss right on those turned up
Lips.
His arms go around her waist
On instinct, and hers
Are already around his neck
And his hair is so soft,
And his body is so
Warm, and it occurs to
Her rather distantly
That she might possibly be on fire.
She pulls back, gasping
For breath, and
He smirks a little
Into her lips
Before setting her
Feet down on the step
She paused on,
Leaving her still
One head above him.
Pietro sputters, Toad wails,
And he cocks that –sexy- eyebrow
Again and asks, "Where can I
Put my bag, luv?"
She cocks an eyebrow back,
But takes his hand and turns to lead
Him upstairs,
Ignoring her brother,
Her stalker,
And everyone else.
She leads him to her room.
He can sleep on the floor until she's
Certain nobody will try to kill
Him if he rooms with them.
Rogue snickers in her mind,
And Wanda tells her to shut up.
A/N: This is a really weird piece that didn't come out at
