While I struggle to finish the next chapter of "Paradise Lost" ( I know what to say but not how, ha ha ha is frustrating).
I leave here this drable inspired by a wonderful fan art of Kurt in Gambit costume by Ranaraeuchle. Which I saw the other day on Tumblr.
When they lived in the Institute, there was always time for Halloween parties. Especially when it was full of kids, it was their favorite holiday of the year.
This year there was also a party, of course. Krakoa encouraged all kinds of celebrations.
Kitty had had the wonderful idea of having a thematic party. Dress up as themselves. Everyone would be another X-Men. So after filling a box with their names written on papers, she asked them to take one each.
Remy burst out laughing after reading who he was to dress up as.
"Who did you get?" she asked, trying to peek at the little piece of paper.
"I'm not telling you," he said, stuffing the paper in one of his pockets, wearing a wicked smile.
"Come on, Sugah, I'm your wife, as a married couple we can't keep secrets," she insisted running her hands inside his shirt to caress his abdomen. "You can't do that to me."
"Are you trying to manipulate me?" He asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"Maybe… a little," she whispered with both hands inside her clothes. " Is it working?"
"Non, You're terrible at that, mon coeur" he said, grabbing her face, so he could kiss her.
" Hm mm, I'll tell you mine," she murmured, nibbling on his neck.
"I like surprises," he replied smirking, giving her a hard slap on the butt." So stop trying to seduce me," Remy looked at her cheekily without taking his hand off her buttocks. " For that, you can seduce me for everything else."
The day had arrived.
The first person she saw was Ororo who looked stunning in Dazzler's uniform. She would never have said that the disco look would suit her so well. The Neon paint around her eyes, the boots with roller skates, she hadn't forgotten any detail.
On her paper was Jubs' name. So there she was in jean shorts, pink t-shirt and the yellow trench coat. She had borrowed her friend's glasses and bought a short hair wig.
Rogue went next to Logan, who was not in costume. He was drinking beer leaning against the bar, laughing at everyone else's outfits.
"You're such a dullard, Wolvie," she said, leaning next to him to order a drink herself as well.
"I'd had Emma," he grunted, looking her over from top to bottom. " Did Jubilee see you yet?
Rogue had a hard time trying to keep the image of Logan in a white bikini out of her mind.
"No, let's see what she thinks of my impression of her," she said, popping a bubble with her gum.
"I don't think her jeans have ever been that short" he joked, raising his beer to make a toast with her.
Jubilee walked up to her. She was wearing a full suit made of cotton balls that gave her a fluffy look.
"Rogue, how can you look a better me than me?" she said, laughing. "I love your wig."
"Thank you," Rogue looked at her intently, trying to figure out who she was dressed up as. Oh my god! You're Bobby as a teenager!
"That's right," she said, laughing as she turned around. "That took me forever."
"I love it, you looked amazing."
"Have you seen him?" inquired Jubilee looking through the crowd in search of Bobby, "He's dressed as Storm, he molded the ice to make her mane, he looks awesome!"
"I love Bishop as Jean" Rogue commented pointing to his friend who was wearing a long ginger wig.
"He should have dared with the green dress," Jubs added, who suddenly grabbed her arm and burst into nonstop laughter. Rogue looked toward the door and saw Remy coming down the stairs. He was disguised with her outfit, the one in tatters from her time in the Savage Land.
From how tight it fit, she was sure it was actually her uniform. Remy was using his bō staff as a spear, and he had carded his hair. God knows how many gallons of hairspray he had put on.
And to top off the look, he came down on Kurt's arm, who was dressed as Gambit. With the trench coat, the pink uniform and the hood. No detail was missing.
"That's awesome," Jubilee said helplessly, still cracking up with laughter. "They look great."
She heard Bishop's laughter from where she was standing. He stopped Remy halfway, so he could observe his outfit in its entirety.
What the hell was in her mind when she decided to wear that. Ah, the youth and its follies.
Kurt got lost in the crowd, handing out "chères" and hand kisses to everyone he bumped into.
Gambit came up to Jubilee and she, still smiling.
"Oh Gambit, you are the best costume at the party" said Jubilee chuckling.
"Thanks petit, your iceman look is great," he replied.
Remy moved closer and grabbed her by the waist.
" Hi, Sugah," he said, mimicking her accent. "Have you missed me?"
" Yeah, every second. You look beautiful, babe," she said, pulling the fabric of the slip to cover his buttocks a bit. "A little revealing for my taste."
"It tried to stay true to the original," he murmured, keeping his mischievous smile and caressing her face. "You're a beautiful brunette," he whispered, running his fingers along the edge of the wig." Maybe this Rogue and this Jubs can sneak off to the bathroom for a little while, non?" he added pointing to themselves.
"Maybe…" she murmured, running her hands down his back.
"I think I've heard enough to keep me awake for a month," Jubs stated, laughing as she walked away from them.
Remy stared at her without blinking, smiling. He grabbed her hand and ran his fingers around her waist.
"Shall we dance?" he whispered, pulling her close to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and let herself be carried away by the music. Remy smelled like hairspray so bad she thought she was going to get intoxicated.
"Have you seen Emma? She's dressed as a slutty Magneto," he asked, turning around, so she could see Emma.
"How can she go as slutty Magneto?" Rogue asked out of curiosity. Emma had turned around and all she could see was her long blonde hair and a billowing cape at her back. And as always a pair of heeled boots, wonderful and stylish.
"It's got holes in the right places." Remy replied, laughing in her ear.
