Chapter 6: It's Beating for You
The first thing Rogue did when her and Remy got back to the institute was run up to her room and retrieve a new pair of opera gloves to wear, she didn't want anyone to come in contact with her skin, especially since she had enough of Remy's thoughts in her head to last her for awhile. On her way out of her room she bumped into Kitty.
"Hey Rogue, like, what's up? Did you settle your problem with Remy? I, like, never got to ask you after the session because you and him, like, disappeared!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, we did. We're cool now, sorry about disappearing on you like that after the session," she apologized even though she knew it was something she couldn't have controlled even if she wanted to.
"It's, like, okay, as long as you and him are cool, I'm, like, fine with whatever!" she said, "I gotta go, I'd love to talk to you later, but I'm going to the movies with Kurt, I, like, just stopped by the room to, like, grab my jacket," she explained, phasing through the wall to the room, grabbing her jacket and running out again.
"Later Kitty," Rogue called when Kitty was half way down the hall. Kitty just turned around, running backwards, and waved, but by reaching the stairs had some troubles turning back around without falling over and phasing through the floor. Rogue could hear her thud when she hit the ground on the floor below.
"Owww!!" Rogue heard Kitty moan. Rogue just chuckled to herself, and headed for the stairs, content on watching some TV before going to bed.
"Watcha laughing about, chere?" Rogue heard a voice come from close behind her, and she felt a poke in the side of her stomach, causing her to jump and turn around. Landing right in Remy's arms, he wrapped them around her waist, pulling her close.
"Remy!" she gasped, practically squealing from the sudden shock in her side.
"Remy just wanted to apologize for the way he had been acting since he got back from New Orleans. But, I guess now we don't have to worry about Bella Donna coming back again," he told her, not letting her go.
"It's okay, sugah, Ah understand," she said, putting her arms around his neck, then realizing she couldn't touch anyone anymore. She moved her hands down to his chest to push him away, "Remy, are you still drunk?" she teased. "Ah can't touch you remember?"
"Oh, Remy knows, he just wanted to hold you for awhile," he explained, letting her go, but still holding onto one of her hands.
"Where were you off to, chere?" he asked her.
"Ah was going to watch some TV before going to bed," she told him, "wanna watch some with me?" she asked him, starting to pull him with her down the stairs.
"It would be an honor, chere," he said, following her down to the living room, hand in hand.
Rogue popped in her favorite horror movie to watch, and snuggled up to Remy on the couch. Her head on his chest, she could feel him breathing and his heart beating in his chest. Remy's arm around her shoulders to pull her in closer to him.
"You hear my heart, Marie?" he asked her, using her real name. He was the only one, besides her family, that knew it. Rogue nodded, sleepily, in response, "It's beating for you." he told her, then concentrated on the movie.
