Chapter 10: A Swamp Rat's Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rogue walked along the dirt path thinking about what had just happened back at the beach. She walked down the girls cabin path, but stopped because she felt she was being followed and turned around right into a grinning Cajun.

"What are ya doing Swamp Rat?"

"Remy thought he'd see where his Chere was goin'."

"That's none of your business, now leave meh alone!" Rogue turned around to keep walking, but a Cajun voice stopped her dead in her tracks.

"What 'bout are deal?"

"What are ya talkin about?" Rogue was now again glaring at the Cajun.

"Our pool deal, John and Remy won."

"What?! Ya'll didn't win, we nevah got tah finish, remembah, oh wait, Ah forgot, ya got the memory span of a goldfish."

"That hurt Chere, and Remy and John did win."

"Ya'll couldn't win, we didn't get tah finish."

"Well, since we didn't finish we go with the group that got the most balls in, therefore, John and Remy win."

"That wasn't part of the deal."

"Sure it was."

"No, it wasn't!"

"Yeas, it was Chere."

"No it... forget it, Ah dunno why Ah'm even bothering with ya, just leave meh alone."

Rogue walked to the cabin and stalked in. Slamming the screen door behind her. following behind was Remy.

"Didn't Ah tell ya not tah follow meh, or do ya got a death wish or something?" Rogue waved her gloved hand in front of him.

"Remy just wants ta be with ya Chere."

"Don't call meh that."

"Why not?"

"Cause Ah said so, why don't ya go find Taryn and bug her, god knows she'll love that."

"Ya jealous of Taryn Chere?"

"What does Taryn have that Ah should be jealous of?"

"Aw chere, Remy saw you watching him down at the beach."

"Please Ah could care less about you and Taryn, infact, Ah wish ya would have stayed back there with her."

"No you don't Chere, you like Remy being here."

"No Ah don't, now get out!"

"Non, unless ya want Remy ta go tell Jenny what your gonna do tonight."

"And what would that be Swamp Rat?"

"Oh just that you, Jean, and that Kitty plan on taking the jeep into town tonight."

"Where did ya here that?"

"I got my ways Chere."

"Great, your not gonna tell are ya Swamp Rat?"

"Well that depends Chere, what are ya gonna do for me?"

"What did ya have in mind, ya sick fuck." Rogue couldn't help it, it just slipped out of her mouth.

"Look Rogue."

**Did he just us mah name instead of Chere?**

"I don't want anything from you."

**Did he just refer to himself in the first person?**

Remy ran his hand through Rogue's hair, and Rogue actually didn't pull away.

"when I was you with that guy..."

"Duncan?" Rogue offered

"Duncan? That's that idiots name?"

Rogue lifter up her eyebrow

"I mean, look what I'm trying to say, is that I really like you Rogue and I couldn't stand to see you with him." He took his hand out of her hair and had all his attention focused on the floor.

**Oh mah gawd, what did he just say, is he blushing?**

"I don't wanna see you get hurt Rogue, I know I've been annoying you and that's because I can't stay away from you." He was still staring at the floor.

**He looks so sincere, he actually looks cute.**

"Remy..."

Remy look back up at Rogue into her emerald green eyes

"Remy, Ah appreciate that ya care so much about meh, but Ah can take care of mahself."

"I know, but I don't want you to have ta take care of yourself, I want to be there for you Rogue."

**He's so cute, wait did Ah just say he was cute? Oh mah gawd, Ah can't like him.**

"Remy..."

Remy put his finger to her lips "I'm sorry I bothered you Rogue, and I won't tell Jenny or anyone else."

Remy turned to leave, but Rogue grabbed his hand and stopped him. Rogue wrapped him up in a hug and he pulled her closer to his chest.

"Remy, Ya have been one of the only people who has evah tried ta get close ta meh, and even though it seemed like Ah hated ya and was always putting ya down, Ah guess ya aren't that back, but a wanted to say thanks for wanting ta be there with meh and for meh."

Remy pulled Rogue even closer. A tear rolled down Rogue's cheek, no one had ever tried to get close to the Goth girl, well unless you counted that loser Duncan. But there was the enemy, and Acolyte, who actually seemed to truly want to be with Rogue, someone who actually wanted to get to know and be close with the untouchable mutant. Even the rest of the students were afraid to get close to Rogue except for kitty, Kurt, Logan, and on occasion Scott. Kitty was her best friend, Kurt is her brother, well half brother, Logan was more of a father figure to her, and Scott, well she did have a huge crush on him but he was with Jean now. The rest of the mutants always flinched away or would stand a good five feet away from her if she didn't have on gloves. But here was he enemy, who wanted to be with the untouchable.

Rogue pulled out of Remy's embrace. Remy lifted his hand up and wiped away the tear on Rogue's cheek.

"So, are we on good terms Chere?"

"Yeah, Ah guess so Swamp Rat."

A smile tugged at the corner of Remy's lips

"Rogue, do you think we could ever work out?"

"Ah dunno Remy, Ah mean your still the enemy and all." Rogue looked away when she saw the hurt look in his eyes when she had said this.

Remy lifted Rogue's chin up and looked her in the eye "Rogue, it doesn't matter, and I've been thinking about what Magneto wants to accomplish, and I don't agree with what he wants to happen with mutants and humans. I thin I'm gonna leave him and join the X-Men."

"doesn't Magneto have blackmail on ya or something, Ah mean that's what the Professor said."

"yeah, he does, but I don't care, I can't stand being his errand boy anymore, and I wanna be with you."

"Remy, Ah can't touch, ya don't want ta be with someone ya can't touch."

"It doesn't matter Rogue, I love you for you, you don't need to touch someone to love 'em." Remy took Rogue's hand and rested it on his chest over his heart "It comes from here chere, and I know I feel it whenever I see you or even think about you. I just need to know how you feel about this old Cajun boy."

"Ah dunno Remy, Ah'll have ta think about this."

"Take all the time you need, I'd wait forever for a chance ta be with you." Remy turned and walked out of the cabin leaving Rogue there thinking about everything he said.
