The Secret's Out
By Lady Trunks
Chapter 2
Kansas Hill- Glad you like it. I've come to the conclusion that no matter what my feelings for some of the characters are *coughcough*ScottandJean*coughcough*, they can surely come in handy. ^^
Dark-English-Rose- Glad you liked it. And I'll have more soon. Very soon.
Carla- That is a good question. What were they thinking? They must have dirty minds or something. hehe.
DragonBlond- Ahh, that is so sweet. I've been missed! Of course you know what would make me write more? If I was inspired by someone else writing more to their wonderful Rietro. *hint, hint* ^^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Inside the bedroom, the subject of their conversation wasn't as quick to dismiss the incident and continued to rant about the invasion of privacy to her boyfriend. "Can you believe that he just teleported in here like that? And you know that they were eavesdropping outside the door." She paced back in forth in front of the bed, gesticulating wildly with her hands. "I mean the nerve of some people. I don't care if he is my brother, if he does that one more time I'm going to have a new blue throw rug!"
Pietro lay sprawled casually across the bed, not saying anything. He took the time to study Rogue intently, taking note of how her anger caused her eyes to sparkle and her cheeks to become pink as she practically radiated with energy. All in all it was a glorious, if rather distracting, site.
"…And I can't believe that Scott would stand outside my door and eavesdrop like that." The sentence caught Pietro by surprise, and he focused in on what she was saying. He hadn't noticed the other boy outside the room, too caught up in the amusing site of Rogue reprimanding her brother. It was a well-known fact that Scott and Pietro had an intense dislike for each other, fueled by the incident almost three months ago. When Scott had discovered that Rogue and Pietro were going out, he had tried to injure the other boy and had instead blasted Rogue rendering her unconscious. After that they could barely act civil to each other, and even then it was only under direct threat from Rogue. Hearing that the older boy actually had the audacity to eavesdrop on them only increased Pietro's annoyance with him, and he made a mental note to do something later to irritate him.
That decided, Pietro turned his attention back to Rogue, who had stopped her pacing and was now looking to him for his injection. He just gazed at her for a moment before smiling slightly. With a movement to quick to be seen, he reached up and grabbed a hold of her arms giving a slight tug to send her tumbling with him on to the mattress. Within a matter of seconds she was sprawled on top of him. She leaned up, causing her hair to fall forward framing her face as she gazed down at him. "What was that all about?"
"Just thinking that you should look on the bright side." She arched a brow at that, silently encouraging him to continue his line of thought. "Well if he had arrived ten minutes later he would probably have found us doing a lot more than just me giving you a massage." Her eyes widened at the realization, thinking of the embarrassment that would have accompanied the occasion for all involved. Well, except maybe Pietro who seemed to find the situation rather amusing.
"I don't know what you're smiling about. Think of what would happen if Logan caught us." That caused the silver-haired boy to lose his smile and an expression akin to panic to appear on his face, having had experience with Wolverine's very protective tendencies and occasional homicidal rages.
"God we need to get our own place. Somewhere where we can have privacy."
She relaxed on top of him and rested her head against his neck, smiling against his skin. "As soon as the professor finishes his test."
"No offense, love, but I have to wonder if your professor even knows what he's doing."
"Of course he does. It's just that it is an unusual case."
"Whatever. Now," he flipped over and braced himself above her, smiling wickedly, "What do you say we get back to what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted."
"You took the words right out of my mouth." With those words spoken, she pulled his head down until their lips joined. And after that there was no longer a need for words.
