I'm back! I know that it might have appeared as if I jumped off the face of the earth (and if I had, it would have totally been the fault of the annoying legal shield I like to call a disclaimer =) but it was more of a took on more things than I could handle type deal…but, anyway, I've cleared out my schedule and hope to continue this story on a more frequent basis, I'm sorry, but I just didn't have any time! =)…I'm not one of those people who write a story, divide it into parts and then post the parts exactly a week apart…I wrote this on the spur of the moment, and I posted it like 10 minutes after I started writing it, so I need just a little bit of time and a lot of inspiration, the former of which I have been lacking lately…any ideas are welcome and wanted=) but now on with the show…
Disclaimer: I do not own- ::jumps off the face of the earth::
Rogue slowly -reluctantly- opened her eyes. She sat up part way and extended her arms as far as her body would allow, stretching her tight muscles. Permitting herself to flop back down upon the pillows, she turned onto her side, arm hanging over the edge of the bed, and closed her eyes again.
It was no use. Once she woke up, it was futile to attempt to return to dreamland. Rogue groaned and opened her eyes yet again. Her gaze immediately fell upon an evil, fuzzy, little demon. She shrieked in surprise and horror.
In response, the thing blinked and squeaked, "I wove you!"
Rogue, disgusted, smacked the thing from Kurt's bedside table and onto the floor.
Looking at the fur ball with contempt, she muttered, "It figures Kurt would have a Furby," she glanced around and noticed the owner of the spawn of Satan was not in the room. Rogue went off to take a shower, then she would go in search of the non-evil (for the most part) fur ball, and in the process of leaving the room, gave a final kick to the disgustingly annoying toy. She slammed the door to block out the sound of, "Furby dance! Do do do! Do do do!"
Rogue hurried downstairs to the dining room, freshly dressed in a clean version of yesterday's outfit, still rubbing her fingers through her damp hair, and looked around anxiously for Kurt. Not seeing him, she sat down and turned to Kitty.
"Hey, Kitty, do ya know where Kurt is?" Rogue asked as she reached for a muffin.
"Uh, no. I mean, like, he didn't come to breakfast yet," Kitty shrugged and went back to her toast.
She looked at the clock on the counter, then looked back at Kitty in disbelief. "It's almost eleven! Ah know Kurt hasn't been tha' sociable lately, but wasn't anybody worried?!?"
The others looked at her skeptically as she finished her outburst. Evan was the first to reply.
"Yo, Ro, chill. It's not that we don't care 'bout the guy, we just figured that if he wants to be chatty, he will. But until he's ready, we're not gonna push." The others nodded their agreement, but then went back to their breakfasts and their conversations.
Rogue gave an annoyed, exasperated sigh and left the table, dropping her uneaten muffin on the floor as she went. Ororo stood up, pushing her chair away, then walked over and picked up the muffin. She turned to the Professor and spoke, "Charles, you do think that what we are doing, waiting for Kurt to come to us, not crowding him, is the best course of action, correct?"
Professor Xavier looked "I believe so…I hope so…"
Rogue stormed off to her room fuming. She could not believe how ignorant the others were. How could they think that the way Kurt was feeling would just change with no help from people who care for him? How could the Professor think that way?
Rogue stopped pacing, shook her head and thought, 'Fine! They don't want to come to terms with what Kurt really needs, that's fine! They're only hurting him more!'
She scowled and went off in search of to fuzzy elf, slamming the door so hard that a framed picture of the members of the institute fell from it's place upon the dresser, shattering as it hit the floor.
