The Aftermeeting

By NecroX18

I don't own X men. 'nuf said.

(Jeeze) thought Steve. (I REALLY don't think that could have gone any worse.) "Hey." Steve jumps

a little, startled by a voice and turns around to see Logan. "I think the Prof. Likes ya'".

Steve snickers at that. "Yeah, right. I'll be lucky if he lets me withing20 miles of Rogue a

fter that." "Yeah, you're probably right, but I wanted to try and make you feel better." Steve

shrugs. "What can ya' do? I answered everything truthfully." Logan nods and Steve starts to turn

away. After a second, Logan yells back at Steve. "Nice work with the Brotherhood." Steve smiles

and turns away.

Inside the mansion.

"Ahhhhhh!" BAM! Scott flinched when a chair came a little too close for comfort. "Rogue, stop

it!" yelled Xavier. Rogue glared at him. "Ah can't believe you! Ah find a nice guy who likes

me also DISPITE mah… handicap; and YOU just tell him to leave?!"

Kurt and Kitty walk in arguing as usual. "Prof., Kitty thinks that ve should go.." Kurt stops as

Rogue throws him a look. "Someplace else which is where ve're going" Kurt grabs Kitty's arm and

drags her out the door. Xavier coughs and Rogue turns back to

him. "Rogue, we will continue this conversation when you have had a nights sleep." Rogue starts

to say something, but Xavier cuts her off. "No buts. Right now you're more likely to make me

keep you away from Steve then to reconsider." Rogue slumps and

stomps up the stairs. "Maybe you should give the kid a chance." Xavier turns around in his wheel

chair to see Logan. "When he was leavin', he wasn't bitter or angry. Just resigned." Xavier

looks thoughtful for a second. "I'll consider it."

10:23 pm Hopkins Rd.

(Just when I thought I might actually make a friend that Ah could touch) sighed Rogue. She went

to bed feeling angry and couldn't fall asleep. So, she decided to cool off by flying around town

for a while. Suddenly… WHAM! "DAMMIT! WATCH WHERE

YOU'RE GOIN'" Rogue shook her head to clear it and looked up. "Steve?" "Rogue? What are you

doin'?" "Ah could ask you the same question." Steve looked sad and looked over Rogue's shoulder.

"It's just somethin' I do when I need to think

about..stuff." Rogue smiled. "What kinda'… stuff?" If possible, Steve looked even more nervous

than before. "You know.. us." Rogue's smile got even bigger and she moved closer to him. "Well,

there isn't really much to think about." She reached over and pulled

him close by his jacket. "Is there?" She asked. Steve swallowed and replied "Nope." At that,

Rogue closed her eyes and kissed him, lightly, then harder. (Holy shit! She's kissing me!) Steve

thought. After several minutes of kissing, they broke apart panting. Rogue

smiled and looked at him. He was a mess: lipstick covered his face and some of his neck.

"Not bad for a first date, huh?" Steve gave her a lopsided grin, and brushed a lock of hair

out of her face. "So, we're a couple?" Rogue grinned. "Maybe. Only officially if the Prof.

agrees with it." "Fly ya' home?" Steve asked. "Why not?" Rogue took his hand and they

floated back to the mansion.
