Disclaimer: I do not own X-men. or the song " Tracks of my tears" ( by Gavin DeGraw, although I don't know if he did the original ) . Just so you know.

Ps. I'm not good at writing dialects so Rouge thinks without.


From Remy's point of view. From Rouges point of view.


Tracks of Remy's tears

People say I'm the life of the party cause

I tell a joke or two

- -

He sat there with the trademark smirk on his face. He had just said a smirk remark about the leader of the team: Scott. Scott had forgotten about his and Jean's engagement day although she painted that day red in the kitchen calendar. Remy said she shouldn't blame him:

" 'E only has une eye cherie, and dat one sees red!"

All the girls in the room giggled. Even the corner of Logan's mouth twitched. I stood in the doorway thinking about how he could seem so normal. I knew I couldn't, so I left.

- -

Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty

Deep inside I'm blue

- -

"He's like not unaffected. He's sad!" Kitty tried to tell me.

" Ah don' think so suga'. He seems to be donin' great." I needed air so my feet carried me towards the front door.

- -

So take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

- -

And who was there if not the man who haunts my dreams? A cig in his hand.

- -

As you get closer it's easy to trace

- -

When I approached he turned his head away, grinded out his cigarette and left. I looked at the cigarette; it was newly lit.

- -

The tracks of my tears

- -

The next day, we went to the mall. When we got there, every New York girl in 5 miles radius went for Rem… Gambit. He should be in the "Guinness world record book" for 'flirting with the most women at the same time'. Slut!

- -

Since you left me, if you see me with another girl

Seeming like I'm having fun

Although she may be cute

She's just a substitute

- -

Rouge turned to go. She didn't feel the black on red on black eyes that took in her every movement.

- -

Because you're the perfect one

- -

At the ride back home, Remy was glad at the fact that his pokerface was the best in town. He only knew one that could see what he really felt. And she wasn't looking.

- -

So take a good look at my face

- -

She was the only one that hadn't flinched when she saw his eyes the first time.

- -

You see my smile looks out of place

As you get closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

- -

He used to tell me his secrets. I used to tell him mine. We could talk about nothing end everything. I missed him. It would be a lie to say I didn't.

- -

I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you

- -

Remy sat on his bed. Head in his hands. How would he manage without her?

- -

Need you

Need you

Need you

Need you

Need you

Need you

- -

I tried to look like I didn't care. Like it wasn't a big deal for me. The only one who knew was Kitty.

- -

Cupid, draw back your bow

And let your arrow go

- -

Remy watched her in the corner of his eyes. His sunglasses were his shields.

- -

Straight to my lover's heart

For me

Nobody but me

- -

It was about then that my thick, stubborn head finally noticed that he didn't look happy. He didn't task as much as he used to. His smile looked a bit… fake.

- -

Cupid, please hear my cry

And led your arrow fly

Straight to my lover's heart

For me

- -

He couldn't suppress his feelings any more. He went to the X-mansions backyard. There the tears came again. His sobs were loud to him, but he was to far away for anyone at the mansion to hear him. At least that's what he thought.

- -

The tracks of my tears

- -

I used Jeans gift to fly where he was, unnoticed. I landed a few feet beyond him so I wouldn't scare him too much.

- -

The tracks of my tears

- -

He turned around when he heard me. His face was streaked with tears. He took deep breaths to steady his breathing. Didn't go to well. What had I done?

- -

The tracks of my tears

- -

I put my hands on either side of his face, and used my thumbs to wipe away his trembling tears. He closed his eyes at the touch.

"Je * sob * Je t'aime!"

"Ah know Rems, Ah love you too!"

I kissed him.
