A/N This is a different look at Rogue and Remy's first meeting. Set before Day of Reckoning so it's not really an AU. The idea is that this is before they met on the battle field. Oh just read it you'll understand, the first chapter is Rogue's POV set to Sugababes Caught In A Moment, the second chapter is Remy's POV set to Bryan Adams Don't Let Go.

I own neither the characters Rogue and Remy/Gambit or the songs, I am making no money from this.

Please enjoy.

Rogue rushed along the road hoping to get home before the rain hit, putting her library book in her bag she wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into someone, dropping the book on the floor. She started to fall but a strong hand grabbed her arm and steadied her,

"Ah'm sorry, Ah wasn't...." Rogue trailed off as she meet the eyes of her helper, crimson and blackest ebony blazed at her, familiar and new, comforting and frightening, they held her spell bound. He bent down to pick up her book and Rogue felt the air suddenly rush back into her lungs, a better look showed her a startlingly handsome young man, seemingly the same age as her, there was a strange grace in the way he moved, some thing almost feline and the dark cloths added a touch of the mysterious, an air of danger.

Yes there was definitely some thing dangerous about this boy, she thought as he handed her her book, and some thing all together intriguing.

"It was my fault"

Your stare swallows me

And I can hardly breathe

I feel it's dangerous,

Could be deadly

Somehow I'm willing to do the things you want

Take me in your arms

Spoon-feed my heart and



Drip by drip

I'll take it all

Sip by sip

I guess that it's

Make or break

Boy here and now

"Dieu Chere I t'ink y' just restored my faith" she took a moment to notice his accent before processing what he'd said

"pardon?"

"ain't y' an angel?" he asked seriously, Rogue blushed but didn't look away, caught in his eyes

"no, no ah'm not" she said softly, when had he got so close? Rogue thought, tipping her head back further to look at him. His hand griped her arm again and she could feel the heat of it even through her cloths,

"y' sure?" he breathed and Rogue felt the words flutter against her mouth. Right now Rogue wasn't sure weather she was still on earth or some where near the pearly gates, one thing she felt for certain, she was stood on the edge of something, some thing big, and it would only take a little push for her to fall,

We're caught in a moment

And I won't let it go

I am falling deeper, losing my control

Involved in a feeling

Like the blink of a eye

And the silence it belongs to you and I



Broke through barriers

And passed a state of mind

I'm not scared no more

It feels divine

So take me in

And catch me when I fall

I'm waiting on the edge

Uncut my soul



Snip by snip

I'm oozing it

Bit by bit

I'm taking it

Step by step

Boy here and now

"y' too beautiful to be mortal ma chere" he whispered, and there she went, free falling into those bottomless pits he called eyes. He'd come closer again, though she hadn't felt him move, there was barely enough room to pass a piece of paper between their body's now. There was some thing wrong with that, she knew, some reason why they shouldn't be that close, she couldn't remember what it was.

We're caught in a moment

And I won't let it go

I am falling deeper, losing my control

Involved in a feeling

Like the blink of a eye

And the silence it belongs to you and I



Secretly I let it slip

Emotional I fall through it

All I know I'm losing my control

travelling way too far

And there's no turning back

And now I'm shedding all my fears

I know, I know



We're caught in a moment

And I won't let it go

I am falling deeper, losing my control

Involved in a feeling

Like the blink of a eye

And the silence it belongs to you and I

He lent down to kiss her, Rogue put a hand to his chest to stop him,

"Ah don't..." a car horn broke into her sentence cutting her off. Rogue jumped away from the boy looking round for the source of the intrusion. Jean was sat in her car at the road side,

"hay Rogue, need a lift?" she asked eyeing the stranger curiously

"sure" she called shakily, she glanced at the stranger giving him a half smile, "bye"

Rogue walked to the car refusing to look back, even though she could feel his eyes on her the entire way.

"Are you all right Rogue?" asked Jean as she sat down

"Ah'm fine"

"who was that?" Rogue looked into the wing mirror, he was still there

"just some one ah bumped into"
