AN: Another update for y'all. I was planning to get this out on Friday but I was so stressed with my flight (yes I had a great time, thanks for asking) etc that I didn't have any time.

Also it didn't help that my friend wanted to watch True Blood on my laptop...

I own nothing except an awesome ring that my Irish cousins gave me, loads of birthday cards and a bowl of Supernoodles (chicken mmmm). Marvel owns X-men and I don't make any money from this. So please don't sue me as you won't get much XD

Song: Stay Away - Paramore


A few days after Logan left, Rogue arrived back from the library to fund Remy in the living room. He was sprawled on the sofa with all her favourite crisps, drinks and popcorn on the table.

"Bonsoir chère. T'ought we could have a movie night. Dere's a selection of films by de tv."

Rogue gave him a brilliant smile and hurried to the tv. Noises of appreciation followed.

"Oooh Blade: Trinity! Love that! Hmm... Rush Hour, Underworld, Avatar... Aladdin? You just HAD to have a thieving film..."

"Dere's Ocean's 11 too."

"Damn... Well lets watch Blade: Trinity. I just love Ryan Renolds!"

"Should I be jealous, chère?" asked Remy as she put in the DVD.

Rogue just laughed and flew over to Remy. He opened his arms and once she was settled into the crook of his arm he said "Well as long as you prefer dis Cajun" He then started the movie.

As the opening credits began to play she pressed a quick kiss to his lips and whispered "Of course I do."


Halfway through the movie Remy noticed Rogue starting to draw patterns on his chest with her finger. He smiled and tightened his arm around her. He then leaned down and kissed her softly. Rogue moaned and wrapped her arms around her neck before pulling him closer.

Remy moved one hand to her lower back and the other to her thigh as he shifted to like on top of her.

Rogue buried her hands in Remy's hair and gasped as Remy's mouth left hers and began to press hot, fleeting kisses to her neck.

"Remy..." Rogue tried to fight her way through the hot pink cloud of lust that was settled in her brain.

"Yes chère?" he murmured.

"We need to – oh god!" her train of thought hit a bump and derailed when Remy gently bit the skin above her collarbone. His hand also started to move from its position on her lower back. It started to run gently up and down her side.

But Remy's kisses slowed and soon he pressed a chaste kiss to her lips and moved off her.

Rogue lay there, slightly dazed, before pulling herself up.

"That was..." she tried.

"I know. Now. Let's finish this before we go up to bed"


Rogue awoke to the sound of catcalls and wolf whistles. She contemplated murmuring the people who lived next door and lifted her arm to bang on the wall when she suddenly wondered why her pillow was so lumpy.

And so warm.

And breathing.

She opened her eyes and looked down.

Remy.

Flashes of last night came back to her – snuggling up to Remy, watching Ryan Renolds being chained to a floor... before falling asleep on the sofa.

Well that explains the immature teenagers standing in the living room.

Rogue lifted her head from Remy's stomach and growled "Y'all have five seconds before I hit ya so hard that y'all will be a smear on the damn wall!

Three seconds later the room was empty.

"Well done chère." She looked into red on black eyes in a grinning face.

"You damn swamp rat! You could have helped me!"

"But y' were handlin' it so well."

Rogue thumped her hand down on his abs and took immense satisfaction in watching him grunt and wince.

"Well we better get up as-" she grabbed Remy's wrist and checked his watch "-I have a lecture in an hour." She groaned as she sat up and stayed there for a few seconds before muttering "Ugh" and getting to her feet.

"I'll see you later though?" Said Rogue, suddenly shy as she spun to face him.

Remy got up as well and stood in front of her. He gently rested his hands on her hips and stole a quick kiss.

"Course. Y' gotta make some time f'ya boyfriend"

Rogue tilted her head to one side "Is that what ya are then?"

"Well... I need to take y' out on a proper date first. But I'll be what you want."

Rogue smiled "Boyfriend it is."


Logan knocked on the door and it was opened, not by Rogue, but by Luke.

"Hey Logan. Come on in. Rogue's in the kitchen. Who's the kid?" he asked as he lead them down a hall.

John was immediately playing with this lighter and visualising Luke burning alive.

"This is John. He's a... an old friend of Rogue's. Cept she hasn't seen him in a while so keep it shtum."

"No probs, man, I'll see you around." He nodded to John and Logan before turning and going into the living room.

"Firefly." John raised an eyebrow at the moniker. "Be careful with Rogue. She could tear you apart in a heartbeat. So don't open your fat mouth until I've talked to her."

Logan had already moved forward before John could even open his mouth to reply.

Rogue was humming to herself as she listened to the soft murmur of her psyches. It was a comforting sound, one that she had become used to.

"Hey Rogue."

Rogue smiled at the sound of Logan's voice and turned. But her reply died on her lips when she focused on the man behind Logan.

"John..." She tried not to gape.

"Heya. You look good. Did you cut your hair? And wow-no sleeves. How've you-oomph"

He was cut off as a Rogue shaped blur was launched at him. he stumbled back a step before Rogue suddenly let go and pulled away.

She stood back and looked at the floor, embarrassed.

John was confused "What's wrong?"

"You don' like hugs..." muttered Rogue, refusing to meet his eyes.

She was so mortified that she had forgotten. One of the things that drew Rogue to John was the fact that he didn't like physical contact.

And so she was surprised when she felt a pair of very warm arms wrap around her.

"Well I missed you. So I'll make an exception."

Rogue smiled and hugged John tighter, careful of her super strength.

"Chère. Wanna tell Remy why y; in the arms of another man?"

Rogue suddenly pulled away like she had been burned. She blushed and John turned around to see a lanky man in a duster, playing with a deck of cards.

Logan was nowhere to be seen.

"Remy, this is John. We go way back and I haven't seen him in ages. John, this is Remy. He's my-"

"Boyfriend" cut in Remy, who moved closer to them and stuck his hand out to John. "To my friends, de name's Remy LeBeau. To my enemies, it's Gambit! You can go on ahead an' forget dat first name right about now."

John ignored the proffered hand and decided to get out his lighter.

"Well my name is John. But people I don't like call me Pyro. You can use the second name." He flicked open his lighter and used it to create a fireball.

Which became a hand.

Which promptly stuck a middle finger up at Remy.

Now Remy was used to being insulted by men. So when this child with bad hair decided to show off his powers, Remy just returned the favour.

John watched Remy pull out a playing card and laughed.

"What are you going to do with that? Give me a paper cut?"

His laughter faded as the card began to glow.

Soon a low hum could be heard as the molecules in the card vibrated faster and faster.

John shifted his weight forward and prepared to fight the demon eyed man.

Rogue decided to step in "Alright boys! Stop it!"

"You afraid I'm gonna hurt him? Don't tell me you have a soft spot for that Cajun." John spat the last word like it left a bad taste in his mouth.

"About as soft as you, fat head. Now are you going to stop or am I gonna have to help ya?"

Rogue glared at him until he extinguished the flame.

Without turning round Rogue said "De-charge that card right now or so help me god I will shove it so far up your ass it hits your tonsils!"

A small pop came from behind her and she allowed herself a small smile.

"Now. John. You are goin' to go into the livin' room and watch TV with the boys. You're gonna be nice or I'm kickin' you out. Got it?"

John nodded meekly and when she pointed to the door, he left.

Rogue then turned to Remy.

"Did ya really have to fucking piss on me to mark your damn territory?"

Remy seemed sheepish "I didn' like the way he was lookin' at y'..." he mumbled.

"And did you have to be so damn rude? He was my best friend! And you did not have to drop to his level with the damn power face off! Ugh!" Rogue stormed before starting to pace.

Remy watched her warily for a few seconds before trying to apologise.

"Rogue I'm-"

She held up a hand.

"I'm going out for a bit. Come and see me when ya grow up!"

Rogue opened the window and flew outside.

Sighing, Remy turned away from the window and stormed out. He'd gotten to the front door when he realised that John was following him.

He was at his bike when Logan grabbed his arm.

"What did you do to Rogue?" Asked Logan angrily.

"Yeah, where is she?" added in John

"She's gone out to cool down. Firefly here an' me pissed her off"

Snickt.

Remy glanced at Logan to see him pointing his claws at John.

"I told you to behave. Now I'm gonna go find Rogue. When we get back you both better have some damn good apologies."

Logan turned and walked towards to the back of the house.


Please review as it helps me formulate the plans to murder my DoS faster and so I have more time to write :)
