A/N: Okay this is for all my reviewers from Sneaking Around who wanted a Sam/Rogue story. This takes place after Under Lock and Key. The rating is currently PG-13, but I will change it to R if requested. I really hope everyone likes it too. ^_^
Rogue sighed heavily as she tried to get comfortable. Once again she was stuck in the med lab bed unable to get out without Mr. McCoy's permissions. The worse part was knowing the others had came back from London with bad news. Even worse news hen Kurt told her Magneto and his team were downstairs. It made her grateful for one second that she was still upstairs. Away from them. She glanced up as she saw the door creak open as Sam stepped in carrying a tray. "Ya feelin` bettah?"
"Ah'd feel bettah if ah wasn` stuck in this bed" she told him truthfully.
"Admit it you like being up here not having to go through Logan's Danger Room sessions an` bein` pampered."
Rogue laughed. "Ah guess ah do lahke tha bein` pampered part, `cept Kurt's getting` out of hand a bit. An` ah truthfully kahnd of miss Logan's sessions." She told him as she made the bed sit up and took the tray from him. "Ya can sit down."
"Thanks." He said grabbing a nearby chair and moved it next to her bed. "Tha others are in tha meetin` downstairs."
"How come yer not?"
"Well Kurt was afraid ya would starve ta death so ah volunteered." He said grinning.
"Bettah ya than tha others ah s`pose." She said taking a bite of something that looked like tuna salad. "Their not stayin` here are they?"
Sam shook his head . "Magneto's team? Nah, ah don` think so, but ah think angel may be stayin` fer a few days."
"That would be nahce. Ah haven` seen him since Scott an` ah first met him." She said.
Sam felt a tinge of jealousy run through his veins. He couldn't explain why as he glanced up at the Southern Goth. God she looked beautiful. Her face especially, since she wore no make up. It was his first time seeing her like that. "Ya should go lahke that more often." He said.
"Lahke what?" she asked confused.
"Ya know bare." He said as she gave him a look. "No ah mean without all that makeup ya wear. Ya look beautiful."
Rogue blushed. No one had ever told her she looked beautiful before. She's been called an angel before, but that was by Scott and he was now currently dating Jean. "Yer just sayin` that."
He shook his head. "No ah mean it." He said staring intently at hr with his blue eyes. He leaned in a bit, wanting to kiss those deadly lips but jumped when the door opened. "Oh your still in here Sam." Mr. McCoy said as he entered. "You presence along with Rogue's is requested downstairs."
"Ya mean ah can leave this bed?" She asked hopefully.
Hank nodded. "Yes, today is your last day."
"Yes!" She said happily she almost knocked her tray over.
Hank chuckled. "We'll give you enough time to take a quick shower and change your clothes."
Rogue nodded as she slowly got to her feet and wobbled slightly as Sam grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. "Thanks." She told him.
"Anytahme." He said.

"We should be out looking for him." Magneto said angrily.
"There is no use in losing your temper Eric" Xavier told him. "I will get started looking for Mesmero using Cerebro.
"I thought you couldn't locate mutants like without them using their powers?" Kitty asked curiously.
"It's been updated since then half-pint." Logan told her, his arms folded and leaning against the door frame. He kept a watchful eye on Magneto's new lackey's including Sabretooth.
"Welcome Rogue." Xavier said without turning around as the others turned to the door seing Mr. McCoy, Rogue, and Sam enter.
Rogue nodded as she took a seat next to Kurt as Sam sat next to her.
"Bonjour chè re." Remy said smiling at her.
Rogue made a face. "Get lost swamp rat."
Some of the students smirked knowing Rogue's sarcasm was as good as ever and she'd be back to normal soon. Kitty also made a note that Rogue didn't have her heavy Goth makeup on, but didn't bring it up. Not until later. "Did you like your lunch?"
"Ya made that?" She asked.
"Yep." She nodded.
Rogue turned and looked at Sam who blushed. "Well Kurt said ya wouldn` eat it if ah said Kitty made it."
"How was it?"
"It was edible." She grumbled glaring at Sam and her some-what brother. "Ah'll get ya two back later."
