Summary: An X-Man thinks of Rogue
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters... Marvel does... 20th Century Fox does. I have NO money. I don't even have a job. So don't sue me.
Author's Notes: this is just to prove to me and everyone that I can write stories that don't have a Rogue/Gambit pairing. Okay... this literally pained me to write... that'll be the last time I have Rogue in love with someone else. :)
Thanks: to Cassie and Daisy for being the worlds bestest beta's. :)
Archive: Feel free to archive anywhere... I don't care so long as it's not at some "worst fan-fiction ever" page... also... just let me know, 'kay?
Feedback: PLEASE! I don't care if'n you flame me... just respond... it's nice to know what others think of my work. PLEASE!

"She is truly an angel.

She lit my life... when I thought it'd forever be darkened by all my sins of the past.

I loved her from the moment we met... though I was reluctant at first.

I didn't want to let her know, fearing she'd use it against me, fearing she'd take my emotions as a weakness.

Of course, she wouldn't... and didn't.

But, then she told me about her past.

Not like mine.

She's utter innocence.

Absolutely pure because of her inability to touch.

Absolutely pure because she'd hardly seen the worst man could be.

Only through vague memories that didn't belong to her did she have a since of the badness of the world.

One of the persons whose memories haunted her was the one she told me she was in love with.

Not me.

Never me.

She told me she wished she could love me.

She didn't want to love him because he was long gone... and would probably never return.

She explained to me how unfair of her it would be to let me think that there might ever be anything, besides friendship, between us.

She told me to move on.

How could I?

I love her.

When I've never loved anyone else in my life.

I've messed with women's hearts.

Toyed with their affection for me.

Maybe this is my punishment.

Loving the untouchable angel, and not having her love me in return.

Maybe I deserve this.

And maybe one day, Rogue will forget Logan... and love me.

The Devil made me do it.
I do honestly love Rogue and Gambit together.

Gambit to Rogue after she kills The Goth-
"You wan' feel bad 'bout dat, your privilege.
Jus' like it's mine t'hold you close an' give you comfort, for as long as you need. For as long as you want."
"As it turned out, it was a very long time indeed." So says the little yellow dialogue box. -uncanny x-men #385
