Boy I am on a role. Five chapters in one day, albeit short ones, has to be some kinda record. I am still however debating with myself furiously as to whether movie Wolverine hunkiness is better or equal to Evolution Scott sweetness. Thought: Scott has room to bloom into a full romantic too. Thought: Wolverine is old. Thought: Well, duh, my dead great-great-great-great-great-etc.-grandmother wouldn't be old enough for The Hunkiness. I need more opinions on which is better. But until then let's just thank heaven for my imagination, in which Logan can be both hunky and romantic. R&R!
'Till the End
Chapter Seven
Big Bad's Big Feelings
"Logan, I-I have a… friend." *Yeah, that was true.* "She asked me to keep it a secret that she was training me." *Or at least she would ask me soon.* "But, Logan, I-I need you. I need you to make everything better. You always can." *God, I'm babbling.* "I can understand that you don't want me. You thought of me as your 'kid sister' for like ever…" This time it was Rogue that was silenced, with a kiss. A good, sincere, honest kiss. *Perfect. Exactly what I wanted it to be like.*
"Marie, I never ever truly saw you as a child. You were grown up when I met you. I'm just not very good with expressing my… um… feelings, for just about anything or anyone."
"Oh, Logan, I…"
"No, let me finish. I want you. I need you. Marie, I've always loved you. I had to think of you as 'kiddo' because if I didn't I was afraid I'd hurt you."
*Wow. I knew his cement hard exterior held a marshmallowy center but… I never expected this.*
"That was and still is the only reason that you are not on the grass under me right now."
"The fact that you think of me as a kid?"
"No. Because I don't want to hurt you. I want you to be special. I want to… oh, I don't know… romance you."
*WOW. Double WOW. With a capital WOW.* "Logan," that was all Rogue got out before he devoured her mouth.
