His eyes fluttered open. He looked around, noticing he was in the Med Lab. He tried to sit up but the pain he felt stopped him. He noticed the IV in his arm. He looked down to see that he was heavily bandaged. He looked around, frantically searching for her. He remember being teleported back to the Institute and trying to talk to a lifeless Rogue. After that he remembered nothing. He found himself alone in the Med Lab.
"Chere," he called weakly.
Nothing, no response of any kind. His heart began to race. He should have let Saber tooth kill him, then he wouldn't have to be without her. A single tear rolled down his face. Then he heard a gasp. He looked over, his eyes meeting her. His angel, his emerald eyed angel. She was standing there, looking at him. She was perfectly fine, she was alive. She ran over to him, throwing her arms around him. He moaned in pain but wrapped his arms around her as well. He felt her body shaking. She was crying, she was crying for him. He wrapped his arms tighter around her, ignoring the pain it caused. She pulled away and began kissing his face. She pulled away and looked at him.
"You stupid Swamp Rat! Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?! I thought you were going to die," she choked out, "You can't do that to me Remy! You can't just leave me like that!"
He smiled, "I promise chere, I'm not gonna leave you any time soon."
She wiped her eyes, "Well good, because I'd hate you if you did."
She pulled a chair up next to the bed. He thought it was a little ironic that this time she was the one sitting in the chair and he was the one laying in the hospital bed. He smiled to himself. She saved him, she loved him. Even though he was a thief and a ladies man, even though he'd fought her on so many different occasions, she loved him. He didn't deserve her and he'd never understand why but she did. He felt her hand running through her hair, felt her lips kiss his forehead. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. She smiled at him, that perfect, beautiful smile that made his heart melt.
"Are you hungry? I can go get us some food," she started to stand.
He grabbed her hand, "Non. I'm alright petite. I'm sorry for thinking you didn't trust me."
She waved her other hand, "Don't worry about that sugar. Je t'aime de tout mon cœur Remy. Je mourrais si je perdais vous."
He smiled at her French, "Im ne va nulle part je vous promets. Je n'ai jamais aimé quelqu'un comme Je t'aime. Vous êtes le monde pour moi petite. I mean that."
"What are you two talking about? And since when do you know French Stripes," Logan asked from the doorway.
She smiled, "I'm actually quite fluent in a few languages."
Logan lifted an eyebrow, "French being one of them?"
She nodded, "Oui."
Logan smiled, "Stripes you never cease to amaze me. Anyway, being as Gumbo is gonna be in here for a while I've decided to hold off your training for a bit. He never left your side so I'm assuming you're not gonna leave his."
She ran over and threw her arms around Logan, "Thank you Logan, you're the best."
"Yeah, yeah. Don't tell anyone," he said then pulled away, "I'll have Half Pint bring you guys some food."
With that he left. Rogue turned back to Remy. He motioned for her to lay on the bed with him. She happily obliged, walking a little too quickly over to the bed and laying with him. They were in there own little world, unaware of the ice blue eyes watching them. Emma stood there looking at them. She didn't understand. Yes, Rogue was beautiful but so was she. Maybe it was the power that he liked about her or the eyes, they did seem to penetrate to the soul. She was very rough around the edges, a bit of a tom boy. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Emma still couldn't understand it. She was a nice girl but still, Emma could be nice or naughty. She could be anything he wanted, yet he wanted Rogue. Emma had asked others and they said Rogue's skin used to be extremely dangerous before she learned control and even then he'd loved her. The X-men had fought with him before and he'd be like the others. He'd be aggressive, ruthless and insane yet he'd always stop when he faced her, he'd hold back. After a while he'd single her out, just so he could be nears her.
Emma still couldn't figure out what her appeal was. She guessed it was her being untouchable, that'd make anyone want her. Yet after she became untouchable he just seemed to love her more. Emma scuffed, becoming annoy with this. She would figure out a way to seduce him. She stalked off, almost running into Kitty on the way. Kitty shook her head. She entered the room. She was about to speak when she noticed that both Remy and Rogue were sleeping. She set the food down quietly, tiptoeing out of the room.
"See was today so hard," the angel asked.
"I almost lost the man I love," Rogue fumed, "So yeah, it was hard. You have no idea how much I love him. No idea! I refuse to risk his life just so I can learn some dang control. You have to be crazy if you think I will."
The angel rolled her eyes, "You know that he's at the final battle so obviously he isn't gonna die anytime soon. And yes, I do have an idea of how much you love him because I love him too. You're not the only one that can feel, but we are running out of time. Apocalypse isn't gonna wait for anyone. You're nowhere near as strong or ready as you need to be. And staying here with Remy isn't gonna help any."
"JUS' SHUT UP," Rogue screamed.
"Chere, you ok," Remy asked, "You have a bad dream or something?"
She shook her head, "Nah, I'm fine, promise."
He snuggled closer to her, "Alright, I'm here."
She closed her eyes and tried her best to sleep. She turned around and saw the food. She looked at Remy, who was sound asleep. She sat up and grabbed the turkey sandwich. She ate it quickly, not wanting to disturb Remy. Which of course didn't work.
"Chere, you eating without me," he asked, "Because I'd sure like some."
She spun around, the tray in her hand. He picked up his sandwich and began to eat it. He also took the drink and chugged it. She watched in amazement as he inhaled everything. He smiled at her when he was done. She couldn't help but laugh as he smiled like a child. She wiped his face and finished eating. Once finished she put the tray back on the table next to the bed. She turned around and noticed Remy was sound asleep again. She shook her head, laying down next to him. He wrapped his good arm around her shoulder causing her to snuggle in closer.
"Like let them sleep Kurt," Kitty said as quietly as possible.
"Zay can't stay asleep forever," he argued, "Besides, look at him. He's got his arms and hands all over my zister."
"Verdammt Kurt weg. Raus hier, oder ich schwöre I'll kick your ass," Rogue grumbled.
"Ich habe nur versucht zu helfen. Sein nicht ein Verbrechen oder etwas nur Didt möchten Sie schlafen zu lang. Sie kann manchmal so undankbar," he pleaded.
She sat up, "Lassen Sie jetzt," she ordered.
Kurt did as he was told, grabbing Kitty's arm on his way out. Rogue looked back at a still sleeping Remy. He yawned and moved his arm. She smiled. She loved seeing how childish his face looked when he was sleeping. Emma stood outside and watched as Rogue kissed Remy, waking him up. She watched as he smiled and kisses her back. It made her extremely angry to see the two of them loving each other. She always got what she wanted.
"And Remy, I want you," she smirked and stalked off, leaving the two of them alone.
