Rogue walked down the seemingly endless hall, searching. It'd been a terrible night of sleep for her. Again. She needed comfort, comfort that only one person could give her.
Logan.

She felt so at ease with him. So safe. As if nothing could ever harm her.
Finally, she reached his room.

Ever so quietly, she opened the door to his room, peeking in..
He looked so peaceful sleeping on his bed..So gorgeous, so sweet and innocent.
She loved him. She knew she loved him. She'd never felt so close and drawn to someone in her life.
She wondered sometimes if he knew how she felt. Or maybe, just maybe if he felt the same about her.

She tip toed across the room, pulling back the sheets and easing herself slowly onto the bed.
Gathering herself tightly against his side. She lay thinking about him.
Studying his face, his chest, his broad masculine shoulders.
She reach over with her gloved hand and carefully touched his lips. His beautiful lips.
She wanted so badly to touch them with her bare hands..To feel his lips pressed tightly against hers.

Deciding that was enough of the Logan thoughts for tonight, she pulled her hand back and snuggled closer to him and fell asleep.

Logan awoke to sunshine streaming through his bedroom window. Feeling someone in his bed, he jerked his head around to find her lying next to him again.
He looked longingly and lovingly at the girl next to him. She looked so beautiful.
She must've had more nightmares, he concluded to himself.
With that thought, he wrapped his arms around her. He wondered if she made him feel like this on purpose.
Feel such desire for her.

"ughhhh!" he said quietly, shaking his head. Knowing it wasn't right to think this way about a girl her age.

He got up, digging aroundd his room for clothes. He successfully found a pair of pants.
He walked over to the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar..He knew he was asking for trouble by doing that.

Starting up the shower and stepping in.. He felt the hot water trickle all over him..

"mmmph" stretching and yawning Rogue awoke to an empty bed. Her eyes darted around the room searching for him. With no luck her eyes turned to the bathroom door.
So that's where he's hiding..she thought.

Stepping out of the shower and drying himself off he strutted back into the main room.

"Hey Sweetheart" he spoke in a gentle tone
"um..hey" "look I'm sorry about coming in here again..i just..got scared" she uttered the last part in a whisper
"don't worry about it, kid" he grinned at her "I don't mind at all..hell you brighten up the place" He grinned bigger at her

She smiled and looked down..Unable to meet his firm gaze.

"I should go now..thanks for putting up with me..again.."
"alright kid..hey you know your always welcome here" he said emphasizing the word always.

She smiled again and nodded walking out of the room.

Logan flopped onto the bed...thinking aloud "God, what that girl does to me"..
