Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men, Marvel does. I very much wish I owned them though.
AN: This is my first fanfic, so be very gentle, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. I'm not really good at writing out Gambit's and Rogue's accents, but I will try my best. This story is a strictly Rogue/Gambit fic, but will contain the other characters. Story is set after both DoR's, however some things are changed. The Mansion has been rebuilt. The Mutant Manhunt has calmed down somewhat and the X-Men have gone back to their usual lives. And if you would like please review. Feel free to offer suggestions, comments, constructive criticism, whatever you like. All that being said, on with the story, I hope you enjoy.
'Thoughts'
Telepathy
Heart And Soul
Chapter 1 - Unwanted Feelings
The Sun had just risen over the treetops, signaling a new day, thankfully Saturday. The bright golden rays slowly hit upon the mansion.
Only one mutant X-Man is awake on this beautiful Saturday morning though. A night of tossing and turning has finally driven her from her room to the roof of the mansion. The young mutant known only as Rogue sits, watching the sunrise.
She ponders a moment that happened months ago, but is constantly playing over and over again in her mind.
She lays back against the roof, closes her eyes, and think back to the day she met him.
Flashback
Hearing a noise around the corner, ah pulled mah glove off. Ah knew someone was there. Ah quickly rounded the corner and came face to face with a guy. A very hot guy dressed all in black and carrying a bo staff. His eyes were red on black, demon eyes.
'Oh mah.'
The corners of his mouth slowly lifted up into a smirk, and then changed to a small smile.
Ah knew mah mouth was hanging open, but ah couldn't shut it. Ah couldn't drag mah eyes away from his. It was like they were hypnotizing meh.
The smile was still on his face when he brought out a playing card, the King of Hearts.
Our eyes were still locked together as he slowly handed it to meh. Eyes wide, ah reached out and grasped it. Instead of letting go, he slowly drew the card and our hands down, leaning in closer to meh. He got so close ah could feel his breath on my face. Mah eyes blinked slowly.
It seemed like eternity before he let go of the card, backed away. He did this little bow thing, and then was gone.
Ah brought the card slowly up, staring at it. It took meh a few seconds before ah realized it was gonna blow up. Ah tossed it away just as it exploded.
End Flashback
"Why can't ah get this guy outta mah head?" Ah asked the empty air.
"What is wrong with meh. He tried to blow meh up and ah'm acting like ah'm in love with him or something."
Rogue gently banged her head against the roof and sighed miserably.
'Those eyes. It felt like ah was being hypnotized. Ah can't get them outta mah head.'
"Ah can't even concentrate on Danger Room sessions anymore. All ah see are his eyes, wherever ah go. Ah have to forget about him. Ah'm never gonna see him again anyway."
'Speaking of Danger Room sessions, ah gotta get ready. Ah hope Kitty is up and showered or ah'm gonna be late.'
With that, she flew off the roof, back to her bedroom to get ready for the days session.
Sorry it's so short. I will try to get the next chapter up within the next couple of days. Anyway, what do you think? If you have any suggestions or comments, please leave a review. Thanks for reading.
