Disclaimer: I own nothing. I wish I owned Bobby because my friend has a crush on him. (I don't understand why. Pyro is much better.)
Note: Welcome to the Chronicles of Ice! It is only three chapters long and each chapter is unrelated in plot line EXCEPT theydeal with Bobby and feature different songs by The Fray. Go check 'em out. They're awesome.
Bobby looked over at Rogue from his desk and she smiled lightly at him before turning back to her work. He turned his head to his left and Kitty caught his eye. She smiled with her eyes. She didn't grin, but he could tell that she was somehow smiling.
There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question
After that night on the lake Bobby had started comparing Kitty and Rogue endlessly. Kitty could do this but Rogue could do that and so on. The abnormally loud bell rang and Logan, who was just stepping in the room, cringed. The noise was horrible on his sensitive ears.
"'Ro, can't you do something about that demonic thing!" he growled and Storm just laughed in response. They'd been getting along a lot better than they used to, but Logan still kept himself holed up in his room more and more.
Bobby ran out and caught up with Rogue in the hallway. She was talking to Kitty. His breath caught in his throat. This was the first time he'd talked to both of them together.
"You know…I was thinking that maybe we could…uh…go out and get some ice cream later," he stuttered and Rogue looked up at him curiously. Bobby was usually a strong speaker.
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and
The right thing are the same
Rogue gave him one of her genuine smiles, but suspicion still lurked beneath her eyes. He was acting strange. Her attention was captured by another at that moment. One of the new residents swaggered by her in a walk only he could ever master.
"Chere," he spoke in a thick accent and gave her a debonair smile. His red eyes flashed and she hid her blush. Instead, she glared at him. He'd been following her around like a puppy ever since he laid eyes on her. Couldn't he see that she just wanted to be left alone!
Bobby tugged on her arm as the man left and she turned back to him. Bobby smiled lightly.
"So…you wanna go?" he asked her in his usual chirpy way. Rogue took one look at Kitty and shook her head.
"No thanks. I've got some homework that needs to be taken care of."
Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out
Bobby sighed and watched her go. His eyes locked on that strand of white hair as it sashayed with her movements. He saw two red eyes flash in the shadows and another figure stepped out after her. But before he could do anything, Kitty pulled him away and out to the car.
He ordered a giant brownie blast and handed Kitty her caramel coated ice cream cone. She flicked her eyes over him before taking it.
"So, how are things going with you and Rogue?" she asked casually but that one simple question brought a torrent of questions to Bobby. Were things going well? Did she still care for him? Was the new guy hitting on his girl? And most importantly, did he like her like he thought he should?
He didn't realize that he'd let out a heavy sigh.
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and
The right thing are the same
Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
"Well?" Kitty asked him again and looked at him expectantly. Bobby let out another sigh and answered truthfully.
"I don't know."
Rogue stood in front of her desk staring defiantly at her physics homework, hands on hips.
"All right you! Listen up! You numbers are going to start making sense and forming yourselves into understandable problems!" She watched. She waited. Nothing happened. She heard a low chuckle behind her and then the same smooth accent.
"What are you doing, chere?" Remy LeBeau smiled and ran a finger over the stubble on his chin. Rogue glared at him even more so.
"I think the question here is what are you doing in my room?" she growled threateningly. Remy held up his hands in a mock surrender.
"So harsh!" he teased her. "My apologies. I came to let you know that the Professor wants to see you."
Rogue studied him suspiciously.
"So why didn't he contact me telepathically?" she asked and narrowed her eyes. Remy took a couple steps closer.
"He was teaching."
"Really? I would think the most powerful telepath in the world could send me a message and teach at the same time."
Unbeknownst to her, Remy had slowly advanced on her and was now inches away from her face. She quickly registered this position and started to back away, but soft lips caught her own and she froze. When he pulled away, he leaned down to whisper huskily in her ear.
"The professor didn't send me, Marie."
Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you had her maybe you lost her
To another
