2.- "It reminded me of you"
"Sting?" Rogue asked as he entered the apartment they both shared. The blond should have been there hours ago, but there was a strange silence in the house and Rogue had learned that usually it meant problems.
A sudden noise, coming from the end of the corridor where the guest's room was, seemed the confirmation of his suspicions. He walked to there and just when he was about to open the door, Sting appeared abruptly from the room, closing the door behind him and leaning his back against it.
"Rogue! What a surprise! I didn't hear you entering" He said, with a giant smile as always. Rogue blinked two times before arching an eyebrow and asked him.
"What are you hiding in that room?"
"Me? Hiding something? What are you talking about?"
"Let me in"
"There's nothing to see"
"Sting…" There was a short pause before the blond gave up.
"Alright, but promise me you won't get mad"
Rogue was more and more worried every second. He wouldn't be surprised if he finds a corpse or a nuclear bomb inside. Good news were that there wasn't anything so terrible as he thought he would, but it didn't mean there wasn't something in the room. In fact, there were two little kittens inside a box, that didn't seem older than a few months.
Rogue was so surprised that it took him a full minute before he could ask.
"What means this?"
"I found them in the way home! Someone left them inside a bag, at an alley. They are very cute, aren't they?" Of course, they were, but that wasn't the problem.
"Sting, we don't have enough money to keep them…"
"But they were alone! Also, this one reminded me of you" He said while he lifted the smallest one.
"And why was that?" Rogue asked, not really sure if he wanted to hear the answer. Meanwhile, even when he would never admit it, he was doing the count of much money they'll have to save to buy enough cat food and pay a veterinarian for both.
"Because this one" Said Sting pointing to cat still in the box "Was doing all the noise, but this was quiet and just looked at me. Also, I always think of you when I see cute things"
Rogue didn't want to keep the conversation going nor giving Sting an opportunity to say more of his cheesy words, so he carefully take the kitten from him to look him better. After that he said
"You're going to clean the sandbox"
