Well, it turns out that I found out that Cecilia and Remy were dating. And as a hardcore Romy fan I have to explore this idea. ha ha ha.
So I came up with this vignette. So I'll use this fic to to write little things that come to my mind, and that aren't really connected to anything. While I keep working with the other one, which has continuity.
There will be a lot of Romy. But I will try to write stories from everybody.
That's why you don't date Remy LeBeau.
Cecilia walked into Ororo's Greenhouse.
Psylocke, Jean Grey and Jubilee were there. Ororo had created small storm clouds that watered her plants. She floated in the air, moving them back and forth.
It was a magnificent spectacle to watch.
"Cecilia, my dear, welcome," she said kindly, waving to her from the air.
Jubilee was sitting cross-legged on the floor while Jean and Betsy sat in their respective wicker chairs. They were drinking white wine and chatting happily.
"I was coming for advice, but if you're busy..." she murmured looking at the group of x-women, who were watching her with curiosity.
"If you don't mind sharing what's on your mind, you can," Ororo said floating around the greenhouse, inspecting the leaves of her plants. "Your secrets are safe with us."
She snorted and looked at them. Advice is advice and different opinions might help her. She sighed and stepped forward, holding a hand to her temples.
"Well the thing is I've been almost dating Remy and he's a great guy, we go for walks, we go to dinner he's kind and caring and...
" An amazing kisser," Psylocke interrupted, looking at her through the bottom of her glass.
"Yes he is," Storm pointed out placing her feet on the floor next to Cecilia.
"Yeaah," Jean said leaning back in her chair.
"You too?" asked Psylocke looking at her with an incredulous smile on her face.
"It was more like a mouth to mouth that got out of hand," Jean replied with a laugh. "Don't tell Scott."
"Why am I the only person Gambit hasn't kissed?" said Jubilee sulkily.
"Because you'll always be his "ma petite"," Ororo said laughing and resting her hands on Jubilee's shoulders.
"Not that I want him to kiss me, but it's unfair," she muttered again. "I mean, it would just be for scientific purposes..."
" Have you all been with him?" Cecilia asked in disbelief. Now coming here seemed like a terrible idea.
"Nothing beyond a kiss, no one dates Remy LeBeau," Betsy said crossing her legs as she filled herself another drink.
"I concur," noted Storm moving closer to the table to grab wine for herself as well.
"What, why?" Cecelia asked.
"You don't, that's all," Psylocke said matter-of-factly.
"Well, Cece what's the problem then?" asked Jubilee rocking back and forth on the floor.
"I went to his house and he has a picture of him with Rogue in the living room" Cecilia said at last. She tried not to make a big deal out of it but the truth was that it bothered her.
"Oh, THAT" said Jean. She took flight and went to wash her face under one of the little clouds.
Cecilia didn't miss the look Jean exchanged with Ororo, Which was suspicious to say the least.
Jubilee burst out laughing, She could see Betsy giving her a stern look, but she didn't seem to mind.
"That what? They haven't been a couple for like a thousand years, that what?" Cecilia asked. The love life of this group gave her a headache. It was an overwhelming puzzle.
"They're good friends, it's normal to have pictures together," Ororo mumbled trying to sound soothing.
"It wasn't a friends picture..." replied Cecilia stubbornly.
"You didn't say anything to him, did you?" asked Betsy looking at her with a frown on her face trying hard not to laugh.
"I mean, she broke his heart, having that picture there is masochism," She insisted. It couldn't be that bad.
"You said something to him didn't you?" asked Jubilee.
"I told him I didn't understand why he had that picture, there, where he could see it every day." Cece confessed with her hands on her hips. She was right isn't she? She had to be.
"Oh, wow..." muttered Jubilee glancing slyly at the glass panes of the greenhouse.
"And he replied that Rogue was the love of his life and that his heart and soul belonged to her," she added in resignation.
"Oh, that's so sweet," Jean murmured holding a hand to her heart.
"Yeahh, sweet as hell, then he added that we could have fun anyway," Cecilia added in annoyance "That's pretty brazen, isn't it?
"Honey, that's why you don't date Remy LeBeau." Betsy pointed out handing her a glass of wine.
