Rahne crept silently into Remy's room. She tried to close the door quietly behind her, looking over her shoulder to see if she had woken him up when the lock clicked loudly into place. He still slept soundly, lying on his stomach, breathing gently. She shuffled over to his bed and lay down next to him, trying to crawl under his arm.
" Ya' shouldn' be in here Rahne. The others are gonna be home soon. Scott will blow a gasket if he catches us near each other, let alone in the same bed." Remy mumbled as he let her shift closer to him. Rahne rolled her eyes as she leaned her head against his shoulder. "I'm seventeen an' your eighteen. It's not like your that much older than me. And Scott would freak at us any ways. He just likes to do that. And it's not like we're fucking each other." He laughed. "Don't swear, ya' makin' ya' self blush." "Pfffttt. Yeah whatever." She snuggled closer to him and they went back to sleep.
"Rahne! Rahne!" Rogue looked into the rec-room and saw the evidence of Rahne having been there. She saw Jean coming down the stairs, Scott's arm around her waist. "Jeanie? Ya'll know where Rahne went off to?" Scott gave Rogue and Jean worried looks. Jean raised her had to her temple and scanned to mansion grounds. She frowned slightly and said in a dream like voice, "She's in Gambit's room." Rogue and Scott dashed up the stairs hoping to prevent tragedy from striking.
Rogue quickly flung the door open hoping to startle Gambit. Scott's hand was positioned on his sunglasses, ready to take them off and blast Gambit away. They felt a little embarrassed to see that Rahne was sleeping soundly at the end of Gambit's bed unharmed, and that Gambit himself was sitting at the top of the bed reading a thick looking book. Without looking up he turned the page. "Oh yes, I raped her violently and now I need y' to punish me." His voice was dry and lacked any amusement what-so-ever. He looked tired and worn. Scott didn't look amused either. "You know the rules. There is to be no...uh...sleeping together of members of the opposite sex. Remy sighed and nudged Rahne with his foot. She blinked her eyes owlishly at him.
"The overlord don't approve. Y'r gonna have to get up and get away from my "bad influence"." She turned her head and glared at Scott. "What the hell lad?" "Scott looked at her protectively. "It's not appropriate." Rahne gaped at him. "Since when do you make my decisions?" He gave Rahne a what can I do about it? look. "Come back later when they've settled down" he mouthed at her. She nodded at let herself be dragged along be Rogue and Scott.
As the door slammed Remy was hit with a violent dizzy spell. He sat on the edge of the bed and put his head on his knees to keep himself from passing out. He wouldn't pass out. He took some deep calming breaths. Shit. He felt like he was going to throw up. Jeez. He lay back on the bed and curled up, his knees up to his chest in hopes of preventing another spell. Here we go again.
"Why the hell would she even go near him? Ah mean, honestly." Scott sat on his knees behind her on the floor, his hands gently massaging her back. She leaned into his touch. "She has a crush on him. Most of the girls do. He's just showing her attention because she's young and he knows if he does something to her shes not going to tell anyone so he can get away with whatever he wants." Rogue picked up a beautiful necklace from off the dresser and placed it around her neck. She turned around and straddled his hips. "So what ya in the mood for tonight sugah?" She placed one hand on his naked chest as her other hand deftly began taking off his belt, all while he was running his hands along her body underneath her shirt.
Jean sat at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee in left hand while she traced the grain of wood on the table with her right. She took a sip of her coffee and nearly spat out the mouthful of lukewarm liquid. She had been sitting there for the past hour pondering. Why on earth would Rogue and Scott not want Rahne and Remy to be friends? Even if it did go further then that, she believed that they would be good for each other. Remy was very shy but also very outgoing for some reason although that seemed strange. And Rahne was a little social butterfly. She loved to chatter and hand around with people in groups, but she was just as comfortable to be around just one person. She absolutely hated to be by herself though. And thats what Scott had done to her. He had locked her in her room by herself. Jean got up from the table. She had wanted to wait a bit before unlocking Rahne's door to make sure Scott or Rogue wouldn't be lingering around to yell at her. But from what she was picking up from Rogue's room, she didn't think they'd be making it out of that room for a while.
Rahne wasn't in her room when Jean opened the door, that hadn't even been locked apparently, although Jean had been sure that it had been before. She scanned the mansion ground for Rahne's signature mind. She smiled. She should have figured. She walked down to Remy's room and listened closely. She could hear talking and laughing within the room. She turned to leave when Remy's voice caught her attention. "Y' can come in y' know Jean. Wanna play?" Jean laughed as she stepped into the room. "How did you know I was there?" Remy just smiled at her and tapped his head. "I was going to try and unlock Rahne's door but you weren't there so I just came down here to check if you was here." Jean picked up the cards as Remy delt them out while looking at Rahne. Rahne smiled sheepishly. "Remy picked the lock and let me out." Remy just kept smiling. "Oh my God!" Jean squealed excitedly as she looked at him. "Oh my God! I never realized. Haha! You have dimples!" Jean was grinning like the Cheshire cat. "Haha, whooo." Jean was laughing so hard tears were streaming down her face. "Oh my God it's so cute!" Remy was still smiling embarrassed. Jean took his face in her hands as she looked over his face still laughing. Remy could still see the pain in the back her eyes as they all continued laughing at Remy's expense.
