As Rouge and Kitty came out of the danger room with all the other battered and bruised X men, "Good job everyone, we'll pick up from there tomorrow" Scott said as he left to go see the professor with Jean following closely behind him, Logan just walked up to Gambit "Good job Cajun, never knew you actually do something of use" Logan said in his same monotone voice.
Gambit just watched him walk away, "Don't Listen to him Gambit, he's just in a bad mood" Storm said trying to calm Gambit down
"Isn't he always?" Kitty asked, everyone just smiled at her, but no one corrected her, because she was pretty much right.
"We'll, Ah don't know bout you lot, but Ah'm gunna get me some food" Rouge said as she turned to walk away, "Remy thinks he might join you cherie" Remy said as he walked to the kitchen by her side.
"What are you smiling at Kitty?" asked Kurt
"oh, nothing" she replied with a smile and headed towards the kitchen as well, Kurt and Storm went there separate ways to do what ever it was they wanted to do.
As Remy and Rouge walked into the kitchen, they found that they were the only two in there, Remy took the opportunity to talk to Rouge.
He put his hand in hers, Rouge turned and looked at him. He had a small smile on his face, Rouge smiled back at him as he pulled her a little closer to him. "Rouge?" he asked in almost a whisper.
"yeah?" she asked looking deep into his eyes. He paused for a moment as he looked down at the floor. "What's wrong?" she asked, putting her gloved hand under his chin to lift his face so that he could look at her. They stood there for what seemed like forever, lost in each others eyes.
Rouge didn't even notice that her hand that was under his chin, was now lost in his thin red hair, but she did notice that his hands were rubbing her back softly. She closed her eyes for a moment as his hands moved down just slightly, when she opened her eyes again she saw that the gap between her and Remy was almost gone, Remy leaned down ever so slightly, still lost in her green eyes, he brought one hand up and brushed away the short bit of white hair that had fallen over Rouges face.
Rouge could feel his warm breath on her face, and it sent chills down her spine, just as Rouge slowly leaned towards Remy, she heard the very loud music coming towards the door. Breaking the moment she slowly pulled away, leaving Remy with a confused and disappointed look on his face, then Boom Boom came through the door with her headphones blasting, "Hey!" she yelled over her music
Remy just waved a hand at her, and Rouge just gave her a slight smile as she grabbed an apple and walked out the kitchen.
Remy watched her walk out the kitchen, and then sighed when he could no longer see her.
Rouge walked up the stairs towards hers and Kitty's room, she met Logan on her travels, or more like walked straight into him, since she wasn't really paying attention to were she was going.
"Hey Stripes" Logan said as he moved to one side
"Oh sorry Logan" Rouge said brushing her hair out of her face, she could see a confused look on Logan's face, he sniffed the air, then noticed that Rouge smelt a little like Gambit,
"you been with the Cajun?" asked Logan in a accusing voice
"I was in the kitchen with him" Rouge said making nothing of it.
"what were you two doing?" He asked again in a very accusing voice
"well what do most people do when there in a room full of food Logan?" Rouge asked in a sarcastic way, and then she continued her journey to her room.
When she got to her room, she closed the door, seeing that she had the room to herself for once, so she grabbed the book that was on her desk, sat on her bed and began to read.
Downstairs, Remy sat outside on the door step having a smoke. He was thinking to himself, but then Logan opened the door and interrupted his thoughts.
"Cajun!"
"Bonjour Logan" Remy replied, but before Remy even had time to think, Logan grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pushed him against the now closed front door.
"Listen Gumbo, Rouge is like a daughter to me, and I swear to God, if you touch her or even breath on her, I will rip your insides out with these" Logan said extending his adamantium claw slowly "Do I make myself clear?" he asked, Remy just nodded, "Good!" Logan said as he chucked Remy on the floor down the door step, and he went inside.
Remy just looked at his cigarette, that had managed to stay in his hand, and just chucked it across the drive. Picking himself up he looked up and saw Rouges bed room window, he just sighed, dusted himself off and walked inside.
Rouge held her book in her hands, but not really reading it. Her mind was far more important things, Remy, she loved being around him, talking to him, just looking at him made her feel weak at the knees, she was starting to wonder if Kitty was right, maybe she did love him, but before she could come to a conclusion Kitty came through the door, literally.
"Holy shit Kitty!" Rouge yelled
"What?" Kitty asked innocently
After Rouges heart beat went back to normal "Ya know Kit, even afta all these years of livin with Ya, Ah don't think Ah'll ever get use to Ya doin that" Rouge said as she sat up and put her book on her night stand.
"oh well, so did anything happen with you and Remy earlier?" Kitty asked as she sat on the bed next to Rouge. "We almost kissed, but Boom Boom came in the room" Rouge said in a disappointed voice. For the first time ever Kitty couldn't think of anything to say.
"I think you were right Kit" Rouge said as she looked towards her
"Bout what?"
"Bout meh being in love with Remy" Rouge started "I cant get him out of meh head, and all I can think about is how I really want to be with him." she finished.
"Really, you want to be with him?" Kitty asked
"Ah do".
