First kiss
.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment

"You owe me, Pryde, you owe me big," Lance told her.
Kitty giggled. "I'm sure I can make it up to you."
Lance looked into her eyes with a lazy smile. "I'm sure you will."
She giggled again hitting his shoulder. "Pervert."
"You know you love me."
"Half-Pint!" Logan called. Kitty turned back. "Allow me to remind you; your curfew is at ten."
"I know, Mr. Logan," Kitty said. "Bye!" They got into the Jeep. He sped off.
"Where do you want to go?" Lance asked.
"Well, I have no money."
"Me either."
"So, back to your place." He nodded and started the drive over there. Kitty leaned back and smiled softly.
He glanced at her seeing her smile. "What?"
"I was, like, just thinking."
"You can do that?" he teased.
"Oh, bite me."
He smirked turning and winking at her. "Later."
She blushed. "Anyhow, I was, like, thinking about the weirdness of this, you know? I mean, when we first met you totally tried to kill me."
"I knew you could phase through that."
"What about my parents?"
He scratched his neck nervously. "Well, um."
"It's in the past," Kitty said. "Don't worry about it until you have to meet them."
Lance winced. "I've had enough threats from your *other* family for one evening, Kitten."
She smiled knowingly. "I take it that you talked to Mr. Logan."
"Yeah." He pulled in seeing another car pull in behind him. "They've been following us almost since we left."
Kitty looked and paled. "That's Ron's car."
"I can't believe that bastard isn't in jail," Lance said.
"Lance-"
"I let him go last time, Kitten, if he's stupid enough to go after you again-"
"I don't want you to get hurt or go to jail. Please, don't."
Lance sighed. "I'll try to get him to just back off."
She smiled. "Thank you." They got out of the Jeep. Ron was already out.
"You're gonna pay, slut," Ron said. The two mutants faced him. "Two more girls came forward. This is your fault."
"Ron, this is a direct violation of your parole and my restraining order."
"You're gonna pay, slut," Ron repeated pulling out a gun. He fired once but Kitty phased so the bullet passed harmlessly through her. "What the Hell?" He moved the nozzle of the gun now aiming it at Lance. "Move and I'll shoot him now?" he warned Kitty who reached for Lance's arm.
Lance didn't know what to do. He was afraid that using his power would either make Ron shoot or mess up his aim making him shoot someone else. Just as he was nearing panic there was a large explosion next to Ron distracting the human. Lance rushed forward grabbing the gun and punching Ron. He punched the man once more for good measure knocking him backwards.
"Lance," Kitty said, "that was unnecessary." He saw her trying to hide a small smile though.
"Sorry, pretty kitty," Lance said. He looked down at Ron. "What to do?"
"Ah called the cops," Rogue said coming out of the house.
"Thanks, Remy," Kitty said knowing that the red-eyed mutant had been responsible for the explosion.
"Yeah," Lance said. "I owe you."
"Pas de problem mes aimis." Remy said calmly.
"You guys okay?" Rogue asked.
"I'm a little shaken," Kitty admitted. She looked at Ron who was getting to his feet and kicked him knocking him back down.
"Kitty!" both Rogue and Lance yelled.
"He, like, totally deserved that," Kitty said.
"He deserved a lot more than that," Lance said.
"Ah just never thought that you'd do it," Rogue said. "Ah'm proud of ya."
"Des police are here," Remy said.
"Yay," Lance said.
"Mr. Alvers," one of the cops said drawing a gun. "Put your weapon down!" Lance looked at him incredulously.
"Hey, this is totally not Lance's fault!" Kitty exclaimed. "That guy just, like, just tried to kill us!"
The cop looked down at Ron. "You just violated bail, young man." He took the gun putting it in a plastic bag. "Sorry, Mr. Alvers, habit."
"Whatever," Lance said. "Have a nice day, Officer Carlton." The cop cuffed Ron.
"She assaulted me," Ron tried to say.
"Good for her," Officer Carlton said. The two drove away.
"We're never going to have a normal date," Kitty said looking up at Lance.
"Funny, Remy was just thinking that," Remy said.
"Normal isn't us," Rogue said. "Now come on." She led the others into the house.
"I thought you guys were going out," Kitty said.
"The movie was sold out," Rogue said.
"See, no normal dates," Kitty said. The two couples sat down on the couch. It was a little crowded so Kitty moved, sitting on Lance's lap. Remy looked at Rogue raising an eyebrow.
"Don't even think about it, Swamp Rat," Rogue warned.
"Remy takes dat as a challenge," Remy said. He pulled her onto his lap. She tried to slap him but he caught her wrist. Both sat for a few seconds.
"Oh my God," Kitty whispered looking down at their hands. Remy was holding Rogue's bare wrist and wasn't unconscious.
"Remy," Rogue whispered. Kitty, recognizing the need for privacy took Lance's arm leading him into the kitchen to leave the other two alone. She pulled her arm away and pulled off her gloves. "May Ah?" Rogue asked.
He smiled, just as surprised as she was. "Feel free, chere." Her hand was trembling as she reached up touching his cheek. Kitty stood grabbing Lance's hand and dragging him into the kitchen to leave the other two alone.
"Oh my Gawd," Rogue whispered. "How?"
Remy shrugged. "I have no clue, petite." She felt a tear roll down her cheek. He leaned forward softly kissing the tear away. He slipped off his own gloves and softly touched her face. She leaned into his palm.
"This is amazing," she whispered.
"Dat it is," Remy whispered in wonder of her soft skin. He leaned forward and softly kissed her. This simple, quick touch made it real. Rogue found herself sobbing. Remy pulled her closer coaxing her to lay her head on his shoulder. She did this and he held her still holding her hand reminding her that she could, indeed, touch. She quieted simply enjoying the feel of his hand. She looked up into his eyes.
"Ah'm sorry," she said. "Ah didn't mean ta break down."
"I understand, chere," Remy said. "If I was in your shoes I may have cried too."
"It's just you though," Rogue whispered. "Why just you?"
"Je ne sais pas. Disappointed?"
"No! Just confused."
"Je compred." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "Si toi permet, je veux t'embrasse."
"Speak English, Swamp Rat."
"How about I show you what Remy was going to ask?" He leaned forward kissing her softly. Rogue felt as though she must be dreaming. This just couldn't happen! Life was never this good. She sighed happily beginning to respond to his kiss. He grinned when she parted his lips allowing him to invade her mouth. He kept his hands around her waist not allowing his hands to wonder, afraid of scaring her. She pulled away looking in his eyes dazed. He softly touched her cheek. She smiled and buried her head in his chest again.
