Lance's POV

I sighed as she put the photo album away. Rogue had gotten tired and headed to bed. I knew I should be doing the same, but I couldn't sleep. I was in love with Rogue. The girl who I never imagined would think of me more then anything of an older brother.

I knew Kitty would forgive me one day. The X-Men would never forgive us for taking they're precious Rogue away from them. Clearly I didn't care what they thought. If they thought they would have kept her for a long time, then they were wrong. She's one of us, never was one of them. She could never be on of them.

Okay so I got to kiss Rogue and she kissed me back. I know it wasn't completely lip action, but I prayed one day it would be. Even if it made me unconscious, it would be the best.

Rogue's POV

I walked out of my room and downstairs into the kitchen. I don't know why but I had the urge to have something with sugar in it. I scoped around the cupboard noticing nothing with sugar. I sighed heavily. If I didn't get any I couldn't sleep. I usually ate a candy bar before going to sleep at the mansion. I know it's a bad habit, but in Mississippi I always did too.

Thinking I thought of the only person who could help me and went to knock on his door. "Yea, what?" He asked as he opened his door. His eyes widened seeing it was me. "I mean.. what can I do for you?"

I giggled slightly. "Ah was wonderin` if ya had any candy bars?"

"Don't you know that eating chocolate before bed will give you nightmares?" Pietro asked allowing me to enter his room.

"Never has before." I told him.

He chuckled as he went into his top desk drawer. My mouth hung open as I saw it was full of candy bars, gum, suckers, and everything in the name of sugar. I even saw some sugar packets. "Ya can start yer own business."

He shook his head. "No ay. And this is our little secret, understood?"

"All rahght." I nodded.

"Well, go ahead and take your pick."

Smiling gratefully I rummaged through his drawer and grabbed a Snickers bar. "Thanks Pietro."

Pietro's POV

Take that Lance, I thought to myself. "You're welcome Rogue. And anytime you get your chocolate craving, let me know."

"Ah will. Ah mahght even be nahce and give ya some money ta pay fer what ah tahke."

I shook my head. "No, it's okay."

"Well, ah better get ta bed."

"Yea, um... sweet dreams Rogue."

"Ya too." She said smiling.

Okay if there was a contest going on anywhere in the world for the most beautiful smile, Rogue would win hands down. The smile of a beautiful angel, no goddess. I had to take my chance or I'd never get it. I walked over to open my bedroom door for her. Using my powers I gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

Rogue looked at me shocked and touched her lips with her fingers. "Pietro I..."

"If you hate me I'll understand. It's just something I had to do." I told her honestly.

"No, ah don` hate ya. Just surprised that's all an` ah didn` even absorb ya."

I grinned. "I know."
