Beautiful Rogue


"LOGAN!?" Rogue stood on stage desperately trying to cover herself as Logan
sat there growling sunken back in his seat. Scott just sat there mouth gaped
open like the fool that he is. Never in Rogue's life had she been more
embarrassed of Logan.

"God Damnit Logan why do you have ta ruin everythin' ah do!? Ah hate you
Logan!" Rogue ran off stage crying holding her hand in front of her face.
She barely made it three steps off stage when she tripped over her heels. The
audience sat back staring at Logan. Suddenly Logan wasn't feeling so right
in that crowd of people. He swore he could feel them sneaking up behind him
ready to drag him into the back.

"ALRIGHT! I'LL GO AFTER HER!" Logan stood up and began to walk
backstage with the crowd booing and hissing behind him. He lowered his head
and growled a growl from deep within his chest. His claws were just itching to
come out and kill every one of those humans. He felt horrible for ruining her
chances, which he did. Rogue didn't even come in third place.

"Marie? Darlin' I'm so sorry. You know I would never.." Logan ducked as a
metal object came flying at him, grazing the side of his face. Logan opened
one eye to make sure she wasn't going to throw anything else at him. What he
saw when he opened his eyes was the mascara running down her usually
smiling face that glowed when he was in the room with her. Her tears turned
her eyes red, and left streaks on her face from the foundation running. He
closed his eyes again and drew his attention to the object that was thrown at
him as the words I hate you ran through his head. Those words coming from
her sweet voice stung him like a bee in the behind. He could feel the tears rise
when he saw his dog tags lying beside him.

"Don't start with me Logan! What the hell are you doing here anyway?" Logan
began to answer when the door burst open and two girls came running in
panting. "Rogue..Logan..is.." Jubilee looked over to where Logan was sitting
and had a chill run down her back. He was giving her that look that could
chill a cup of tea. "Oh good.. You found him." Logan rose to his feet and
Jubilee and Kitty took off running down the hall screaming "AH!!!!!!! WE'RE
GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rogue shook her head and whipped her face off with
her hand. She then realized she was un-gloved. She put on her silver gloves
and reached over for her bathrobe.

"Don't darlin'. You are beautiful without it." Rogue put it on anyway to spite
him knowing the thoughts that were probably racing through his head. After
all, she did have some of him in her now. "Please Logan. Just leave me. You
have embarrassed me in front of thousands of people and now you have seen
me practically naked." Rogue began to cry again and crossed her arms in
front of her chest. She went to reach for the dog tags she caressed when she
wanted to be reminded of him but realized she threw them at Logan. She
turned her face into the mirror and buried her head in her palms.

"You know I was only trying to protect you darlin'. I didn't like hearing those
boys making sexual comments about you." Logan stood behind Rogue placing
a hand on her shoulder. "Why not Logan!? YOU NEVER DO!" Logan stepped
back in shock as she glared into his eyes with hatred. He knew he really
messed up this time. "Fine. IF you aren't going to leave then I am." Logan
watched Rogue pack her things into a duffle bag and walk out the door on her
way to the hotel room. He couldn't do anything to stop her and he knew it.

Three days later back at the mansion…

Rogue sat upon her bed crying while Ororo Munroe aka Storm sat next to her
petting her hair and trying to keep her calm. It had been three days since the
incident had happened and Logan had tried dozens of times to get through to
her. He called her room at all hours of the night waking Kitty and Jubilee. He
would come to her door every ten minutes, sometimes calm but most of the
time angry she wouldn't talk to him. Rogue of course felt horrible but realized
he deserved to be treated as horribly as he treated her. She finally fell asleep
to Storm's reading of Shakespeare and relived the pageant over and over again
in her dreams.

Kitty and Jubilee stirred in their beds as a loud moaning came from Logan's
room. Rogue had cried herself into a deep sleep and couldn't hear a thing.
"Marie..Marie.." Jubilee and Kitty listened in anger as Logan called out another
woman's name. (Or so they thought since they didn't know that Rogue's
name was Marie.) "Dude Kit-Kat. Should we wake up Roguey-poo?" Kitty
looked over to Jubilee and nodded. They walked over the sleeping Rogue and
shock her shoulder lightly. She stirred in her bed moaning and opened her
eyes. "Go away! I was sleeping!" Rogue never was the type to be able to wake
up when she didn't want to. And she wasn't too nice about it either. "But
babe! Listen to you're man! He is calling out another woman's name in his
sleep!" Rogue sat straight up in bed and listened to Logan call out her real
name.

Rogue put on her bathrobe and gloves. "Hey where are YOU going missy?"
Asked Jubilee while tugging on Rogue's arm. "N-No where. Just gonna see
who Marie is." Jubilee slapped her on the back and pushed her out the door with
a grin. "Dumbass girl." She mumbled to herself while walking towards
Logan's room. She peeked her head in the door and saw a flicker of light come
from the far side of his room.

Rogue pushed open the door and saw candles lit around the bed and a long red
carpet starting from the door and ending at the far end of the room. A note
was taped to the door jam.

:: Marie,
Be the beauty queen I know you are and walk along the red carpet. ::

Rogue began walking down the carpet and stopped in front of Logan who had
appeared from the bathroom wearing the Armani tuxedo. In one hand he held a
red rose, and in the other he held the dog tags. His eyes were pointing to the
ceiling as he growled to himself. She could tell from the look on his face that
this was Jean's idea and that Scott had dressed him. She stepped up to him
and smiled.

"You know I never meant to embarrass you darlin'." Logan reached around to
Rogue's ear. "Its not every day you have two friends that try and hook you
up with a wolverine." Rogue laughed out loud knowing exactly who those two
friends were. Logan reached his hands around her neck placing the tags back
on her. She touched the lightly with her fingers. She could feel the warmth
of his hands in the metal pressing into her skin. What she wouldn't have given
to kiss him at that moment.

Logan grabbed a silk scarf and placed it on his lips and pulled her into him lip
locking her within his grasp. Their tongues danced in each other's mouths. A
wave of pure ecstasy ran through their bodies when the pulled away from each
other. Logan dropped the scarf and entrapped Rogue into his arms. "You don't
need to enter in a beauty pageant to show me how beautiful you are. When
you look into my eyes with you're love for me is all the beauty in the world.
I love you Marie" Rogue smiled and buried her head into his chest, whispering,
"I love you."
