Peitro. Scott. Peitro. Scott. Peitro. Scott. Peitro. Scott. She shook her head. How had she started this already this morning? It was getting her nowhere. No matter whom she ended up liking, neither was ever going to like her. She sighed and went back to sipping her coffee. Why was Peitro being so nice? Why was Scott being so over protective? These were thoughts that constantly crossed her mind as she sat on the kitchen counter.
Scott came in with one of the biggest grins she had ever seen on his usually serious face. "Did you know that Allana's-," she cut him off.
"Bragging that she kicked our butts? Yes, Ah know." She grinned. She had woken up that morning to find the majority of the mansion's inhabitants crowded around the junior telling her tales.
"We'll have to get her back." Scott poured a cup of coffee for himself.
She nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
"Hey, Rogue, I'm sorry for acting like a jerk yesterday." He leaned against the counter facing her. His grin was replaced by a sheepish half-smile.
"Ah forgive ya." She smiled. He gave a sigh of relief. "But, ya have major butt kissin' to do." She had to grin, why was she giving him a hard time? He groaned and walked across the kitchen to stand in front of her sitting form.
"So what do I have to do to make it up to you?" He continued to smile sheepishly.
Rogue folded her arms and acted like she was in deep thought, "Ya can... be my man servant for the day." She finished grinning evilly. Oh she was enjoying this to no end.
Scott put on a look of mock horror and collapsed in Rogue's lap, "No... anything but that..." She patted his head with mock sympathy.
"Alright, get off of me." She pushed him off and the two started laughing. "How 'bout a hug?" She asked almost shyly after they had finished laughing.
"That I can do." He smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around her. Even from her position on the counter, he was still taller. She nestled into his chest and he rested his head on hers. This was nice, just the two of them, alone.
"Rogue, I..." He started.
"Hmmm?"
"Ahem." Scott jumped away from her at the sound of Logan's voice. She didn't know whether to be relieved or angry at the intrusion. "As much as I love the sight of this... Breakfast is going on." Without another word he was gone. Rogue hopped off of the counter and headed to the door leading to the dining room. Scott stopped her as she walked past. She looked at him and he gave her a small smile. No words just that smile. Like a promise. A promise of what? Rogue returned the smile and went on her way. Maybe he did like her?
Rogue sat beside Allana, the older girl was smirking. Uh, oh. She was up to something. Rogue suddenly became absorbed with her plate.
"So... Rogue-dear. Where have you two been? Stealing some precious alone time perhaps?" The familiar burning came, this time Rogue was smiling.
"I've been meaning to ask you, Rogue." It was on the ride to school and they were sitting together in the back.
"What?" Rogue asked distractedly caught up in her thoughts of Scott.
"Do you like Peitro?" Oh no, just when she had gotten over thinking about him, Allana just had to go and mention it.
"What gives ya that idea?" Rogue shifted uncomfortably in the seat. Rogue remembered what he had told her about not being locked up forever... He was right... She couldn't stay locked up forever... but could she open up to him? Just when Scott was showing interest? Maybe she was just dreaming and at any second she would wake up.
No such luck... "Nothing really... I was just curious." Wait... was Allana giving up? So easily? That wasn't like her. Don't question it, she told herself, this is a good thing. Allana said no more about it and started talking about the detention she was doing with Scott after school.
Waiting for her at her locker like yesterday after school was he. The arrogant speed demon that now seemed like more trouble than he was worth. Or was he worth this mental torture she was putting herself through? Stop it, she demanded.
"Is this going to become a habit?" She asked slightly irritated. She didn't quite understand why she cared about him being there or not.
"Yes," He grinned playfully pulling her books away from her. She stomped her foot in annoyance.
"Give em back, Peitro!" She held out a hand signally it was time for him to give them back.
"I'm walking you to class... meaning I carry the books." He grinned. It wasn't a request and Rogue smiled. He wouldn't let her be cold to him... she liked that.
She didn't notice Scott watching her from just a short distance down the hall.
*****
This feels familiar... hehe... Alright... I personally liked this chapter... It played up the Scott and Rogue relationship and it added to the conflict with Peitro... Something for everyone! Oh... Why do you think Allana gave up so easily on the Peitro subject? Food for thought... Any who... I am already half-way done with the next Chapter... expect sometime tomorrow... No more to write!!!! Oh... wait I do... Keep the votes coming y'all... I am nowhere near finished!!! Hehe...Later!
