Gambit sighed as he sat down at the kitchen table to wait for the coffee to be ready. Today was not a good day. Only 11 o'clock and already Rogue wasn't speaking to him and he had a broken hand. He had no idea why Rogue wasn't talking to him, and he broke his hand when Rogue accidentaly slammed the door on it when he was trying to ask what she was upset about.
The coffee was ready, so Gambit got up to pour himself a cup and promptly burned his good hand by spilling hot coffee on it. To top off that little escapade, it turned out that Jean had walked in the kitchen just in time to hear him swear over his burnt hand, earning himself a 'scolding' of sorts from Jean about swearing. Then she let him go to the MedLab, where he was recieved with an 'AGAIN?!' by the Beast and a sarcastic Bobby who was having fun tormenting the Beast and anyone else who came in, including Gambit.
After getting something to put on his hand, Gambit wandered around the mansion for a bit. In the end, he decided to climb onto the roof, where, after painfully banging his broken hand on the way up, he discovered Rogue, who abruptly flew off the instant he appeared. He sighed, then lay down on the roof to stare at the clouds, only to discover that there was a storm brewing. He got up and was about to head inside, when the clouds suddenly opened up, and Gambit was instantly soaked to the bone.
In an even worse mood than before, Gambit started to climb off the roof, but he slipped and fell, and the only thing that saved him from a broken leg or two was Logan. After disentangling himself from Gambit, Logan growled, popped his middle claw and held it up rudely in Gambit's direction, then stalked off. Gambit sighed, then went inside. He got no more than two steps before Jean was on him about walking through the mansion sopping wet.
Jean finally let Gambit go get changed, and after a warm shower Gambit headed downstairs for dinner. And found that all the other X-men had gone out to supper without him, as he was in the shower and they didn't want to wait for him. Gambit sat down at the kitchen table and put his chin in his hands to consider what to have for supper. Finally, he decided on maccoroni and cheese, and in the middle of making it it occured to him that he hadn't had lunch and was extremely hungry, so he doubled the batch, and found out halfway through doubling that he didn't have enough maccoroni to double it, so he was left with maccaroni in cheese sauce. Lots and lots of cheese sauce. Gambit managed to eat it, but he would never look at maccaroni and cheese the same way again. He then decided to go into the rec room to watch TV, only to find that the storm had knocked out the TV, so he ended up going upstairs to his bedroom to find something to read. He found nothing, so he went back down to the rec room to see if there was anything in there to read. Which there wasn't - unless you counted a Chataleine magazine, which Gambit didn't - so Gambit headed back upstairs to listen to his music, which he eventually fell asleep to, and payed for it the next day with a headache.

Yes, I like giving X-men broken bones, since they never seem to get them otherwise.
I hope you enjoyed this. It was incredibly fun to write.
