Black Velvet
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution. If I did I wouldn't be writing a FanFic about it. Not to mention the show would totally suck and nobody would watch it.
A/N: If you haven't read my other story 'Could This Be Love?' you should probably go read it before getting into this one. This is a sequel to that one.
Okay, now that the formalities are over, let's get to it. As you know, if you kept up with CTBL, that Remy is now at the mansion, I seriously didn't think I was ever gonna get him there to be honest, Mystique made her announcement about Rogue's biomom, which she is obviously not happy about, and we haven't even seen Kurt or Laura's side of things, and Rogue totally blew Logan off when he tried to talk to her about it.
So, where does that leave us? You're about to find out.
4 months later…
"Cher, where ya runnin' off to at this time o' day?" Remy asked Rogue as she threw her book bag into the back seat of her car.
"Ah got finals tah go to, Swamp Rat, a real stalker would know that. Ah guess you're just a poser stalker." Rogue said mockingly.
She had gotten used to him going through her stuff; especially her day planner. It had annoyed her to no end when he started going through her things when she wasn't around. So much so that she absorbed him to find out what he had found out after a particularly heated fight. Much to her surprise he wasn't really going through her stuff, he just wanted her to think he was to get her riled up. After that it had become a game for the two. Remy would move something in Rogue's room while she was off doing whatever, usually at school, and when she got back she would check her room to find out what was misplaced. Most of the time she found what was missing, and confronted him about it in a 'you're not as smooth as you think you are' attitude. A few times she didn't figure it out though. She just assumed he forgot about their game, but when he asked her, she was reminded that he was a master thief, and he most likely for-real stole whatever it was instead of just misplacing it. A few of her things she never saw again.
"True, true, Cher, but a gentleman would respect a lady's privacy." Remy said and leaned against the car, with his arms and ankles crossed, in a way that made most women drool. Rogue, however, just rolled her eyes and fought the urge to vomit on him.
"Please, Swamp Rat, in order for that tah apply you would have to be a gentleman and Ah would have to be a lady. Since we are neither, your argument is null and void." Rogue said with a satisfied grin.
"Hmm… Excellent observation, mon Cher, but, as usual, you're wrong." Remy said in a holier than thou tone of voice.
"How?" Rogue asked simply with raised eyebrows.
"Ah don't know yet, let me think about it." Remy said with a shrug.
"Well, while you're thinking on it, Ah have tah get going." Rogue said and got into the driver side.
"Hang on, Cher, Ah'll tag along."Remy said and quickly slipped into the passenger side.
…Romy…
"So, Cher, you thought about what we been talkin' 'bout?" Remy asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Ah don't know." Rogue said, shrugging uncomfortably.
"Come on, Cher, we been over this." Remy said a little exasperated.
"Ah know, Ah'm just not ready to talk about it with the others, that's all." Rogue said quietly and Remy almost didn't hear.
"Yeah, but, Cher, if ya don't talk about these things, and ya keep 'em inside your head, it really messes with ya, and ya start goin' crazy, then the next thing ya know-" Remy started rambling before Rogue cut him off irritatedly.
"Yea, Ah got it, jeez. Ah guess ah can talk to 'em after all my finals are done and over with." Rogue said, nervousness evident in her voice.
"That's the spirit, Cher!" Remy said with fake enthusiasm.
"Whatever, Swamp Rat. Don't steal anything from the school." Rogue said as she parked her car and got out, slamming her door behind her.
"'Course not, Cher, you've changed me into a better man." Remy said as he rushed around the car to walk down the sidewalk with Rogue.
"Ah don't believe you. You stole my crap, you ain't no 'changed man', you ain't nothin' but a lyin' thief." Rogue said a little bit snidely.
"Keep talkin', Cher, and this conversation might go in a whole new direction." Remy said seductively.
"Oh, how ya wish it would go that way, don't ya?" Rogue said in an equally seductive tone.
"'Course Ah do, Cher, spendin' time wit' a belle feme such as yourself, what more could Remy ask for?" Remy said and smoothly slid an arm around Rogue's shoulders.
"Warmer weather." Rogue said, and to prove her point a pile of snow fell from some branches they had been walking under and landed on their feet.
"Yes, Remy would enjoy a little less of this white stuff that falls from the sky." Remy said looking scornfully at the pile of snow at their feet, then looked at Rogue, who had a matching look. "What say you, Cher?"
"Ah say we hustle it or Ah'll be late and it'll be all your fault." Rogue said and continued to the school.
A/N: Okay, ya'll, that's about all I got for this first one. I warned you it would probably suck, so don't whine about it.
Some details: Remy and Rogue have this sort of comradery relationship going on, and of course Remy wants it to be more than that, because everybody knows he's loved her since she put aside her pride to help him save his dad, but respects Rogue so he isn't really trying anything serious with her other than harmless flirting. Rogue and Kurt haven't really been talking since they returned because every time he brings up something deep she shuts him down in a second. Same goes for Kitty when she tries to get her bbf to open up to her. Since Logan asked Rogue to talk to him when she got back with Remy and she refused, they haven't said anymore to each other than what was necessary. Laura has just been in a daze of confusion because she doesn't know what's up with everyone and no one bothered to fill her in because she hasn't pried in anything. Jean and the Professor are just sitting back waiting patiently for the ice to break.
Okay, I think that's everything. I will try to get chapter two up in record time. Please R&R so I know how I did. Even if it's bad.
