RoguePOV

Outside it was raining. Hard. The night sky didn't reveal the stars or the moon. Kitty was gone, visiting her folks in wherever it was she came from, and I couldn't sleep. Never before had I suffered this kind of insomnia. I missed Gambit. My heart ached with loneliness. A single tear rolled down my cheek. Never before had I suffered this kind of longing.

My suffering was interrupted when I heard tapping on the door to my balcony. I peeked through the gauzy curtains to see a very wet, but handsome Cajun standing outside. I flung open the doors, pulled Gambit inside, and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Looks like somebody missed Gambit," He said in that third-person way I love.

"Ah did... and ah have good news," I pulled off my glove and ran my hand along his jaw bone. "It would seem ah can control my powers for twenty minutes each day... and ah choose now."

He wrapped his arms around my waist, hungrily crushing his lips against mine.

After a few minutes we broke apart, and Gambit just held me, whispering in Fench, his breath tickling my neck.

"Vous voulez dire plus pour moi que le monde, l'amour, et je ne laisse jamais personne te faire du mal. Je t'aime à la lune et retour."

I did not know what he was saying, but his voice comforted me. My eyes started to feel heavy, and I closed them.

Gambit carried me to bed, tucked me in, and kissed my forehead before jumping out the window.

My last thoughts before falling asleep were: Damn, I really need to get a French to English dictionary.

I'm sorry it's short again. Oh, well. At least I'm updating.

Translation: "You mean more to me than the world, love, and I will never let anyone hurt you. I love you to the moon and back."
