Our evening

Rogue sat on the couch and watched a talkshow. Logan lay on his bed and tried to read.

"Come on Rogue! Turn this shit down. I can't concentrate on my book", he said.

She cuddled into the blanket and grinned. "No way Buddy! Sit down and watch with me. It's such a rubbish its almost funny again."

He groaned, stood up and let himself fall beside her. She smiled ands leaned against his shoulder.

"Good boy", she said and he growled.

Suddenly he felt a pillow in his face. "Rogue"!!!

He grabbed her waist and sat down on her. Then he hit her with another pillow.

She giggled and screamed out loud. She was caged under him and had no chance to escape so she used a trick which was always working. She closed her eyes, didn't move a muscle and hold her breath. And of course it only needed seconds till Logan realized that something was wrong. He looked down at her.

"Are you okay"? He softly shook her and when she didn't answer he jumped up and let her free. She took this chance and seconds later he lay on his back. She grinned down on him.

"Come on Logan! Nobody's losing consciousness because being hit with an pillow"!

He laughed and she stood up.

"Well done Sweety. I have to be an excellent self- defence teacher".

She rolled her eyes and sat down beside him again. "I can't remember you taught me a trick like that".

"Of course not! Cause this one is only working once and only with me", he said.

She shook her head smiling. "Wrong! First it already worked four times and second I can shock Scott as well with it", she stated.

He didn't answer but turned his attention back to the tv. And she knew she had won. After a few minutes he heard a faint sound beside him. He saw that Rogue had fallen asleep. A soft smile entered his face and he took the blanket to cover her. Then he quickly kissed her forehead and switched the lights off. "Sleep tight Sweety", he muttered and went to bed himself. He knew he wouldn't have a nightmare as long as he could her a soft breathing near him. She felt the same. She couldn't sleep and when she finally managed to do, she always had terrible nightmares. So they used to spent the evenings together. And these always ended up with her sleeping on his couch. Together they felt save. And even the bad and brave Wolverine could only sleep because of a little girl sleeping in his room, too.
