Lance's POV
"You okay?" I asked Rogue after we returned home and she got settles into her old bedroom.
"Ah think so." She told me as I sat on the edge of her bed next to her.
"We don't blame you for leaving us, just so you know."
"Ah know. Ah'm sorry mah bein` here is tearin` Kitty an` ya apart."
I shook my head. "Hey, don't worry about it. It's not your fault. I always wanted a chance to blow up at Summers and you gave it to me." I smiled.
"But Kitty an` ya..."
"Forget about it." I said interrupting her. "We weren't doing so great anyways."
"Yea she told me lately when tha two of ya went out yer mind was in tha clouds."
I chuckled softly and ran my fingers through my hair. "Yea, that's kind of true. Actually my mind was on someone else."
"Who?" She asked curiously.
I took a deep breath. I knew doing this would mean her being stuck with my powers, as well as my memories. I didn't want to, but I had no real choice. "Why don't you find out?" I said reaching my hand up to touch her face.
Rogue's POV
Lance touched the side of my face too quick for me to pull back and react. I felt myself starting to absorb his powers and his memories. It was like a movie with his memories flowing into me. I gasped when I saw what he was talking about. I pulled back quickly as he fell to the floor unconscious. He was in love with me. It couldn't be true. No one could love me, I mean they couldn't could that? "What happened?" Pietro asked standing at my door.
"He touched mah face an` ah couldn't pull back in tahme." I told him. Pietro zipped over and held me as tears sprang to my eyes. "Ah couldn` stop him."
"Hey, it's okay Rogue." He told him. "Do you know why he did it?"
"He said he wanted me ta know tha truth."
Pietro moved back from me, as his face paled. "What kind of truth?"
"Dat he loves me."
Pietro's POV
Damn him! I cursed to myself as I looked at Lance. He knew I was in love with Rogue too, so why did he have to tell her first. I looked at Rogue with compassion and took a deep breath. "He's not the only one who loves you Rogue."
"What do ya mean?" She asked me confused.
I smiled. "I'll tell you one day." I said brushing a strand of her white locks off her face. "I promise. Right now I better get him to his room."
"Ah am sorry `bout it."
"I know no one blames you."
She smiled at me and I knew I had said something to make her happy. I picked up the body and zipped out of her room and dropped him on the floor of his bedroom. Shutting his door I kicked Lance in his stomach. "Wake up you bastard."
Lance moaned and slowly opened his eyes. "What the hell are you doing Pietro?"
"I should ask you the same thing. You touched Rogue. My Rogue." I said angrily to him.
"She doesn't belong to you." He said getting to his feet.
"Not yet, but she will. So I suggest you leave her alone."
