I do not own any of the X men, nor anything else that we all know existed

****************************************************************************
Scott and Kurt bumped into Jean after having exited Rogue and Kitty's room, Kurt continued on while Scott stayed behind. "Um, hey Jean."
"Hi Scott." Jean tried to go to her room but his hand stopped her.
"How was your date with Duncan?" Jean smiled, it was rare that she got asked that and began to suffocate Scott with the details, and he inwardly grimaced. What had he expected? He managed to half listen to what she was saying and nodded and smiled at the appropriate times.
"Well Jean," He cut her off, "We have an early danger room session tomorrow. Gotta go." He patted her on her back and left leaving Jean to wonder why they had a danger room session on a Sunday morning. She shrugged and went to bed.
Scott yelped when he heard a bamph in the room, sitting on his bed was his fuzzy friend.
"Can't you knock on the door like normal people?"
"Don't be mad cause Jean vas excited about the jockstrap." Scott sat on the bed.
"She cares nothing about me." Kurt nodded in agreement, "remind me not to go to you for comfort." Kurt just shrugged.
"I don't give it if it's not vell deserved."
"What should I do?"
"How about you make her jealous?"
"With who?" Kurt thought long and hard.
"How about Rogue?" Scott thought about it.
"Will she go along with it?"
"Ask her."
***
"No!" Rogue attempted to slam the door in Scott's face, but he left his foot between the door and its frame.
"Come on please Rogue, I need your help." Scott had been begging Rogue to be his 'girlfriend' for a week, he even offered to pay her five bucks an hour and she still refused. "Please!" Rogue stood by the door her arms crossed wondering why this week she had been behaving like such a softy.
"Ah swear ahm gettin' worst than Logan." Scott smiled and clapped his hands gleefully, than began coughing in a manly way when Rogue's eyebrow rose.
"Thanks Rogue." He turned around and went to his room. Rogue closed the door behind her and sat on her bed.
"Why are you gonna help him?" Kitty asked. While Rogue constantly put herself on the line for Kitty it was rare she would do so for any other member of the X men aside from Kurt.
"Ah don't know." She laid back and prepared herself for the worst.
"You so like him."
"No ah don't!" Rogue turned over and tried to cover her head, just to have it phased off of her.
"Yes you do."
"At least ah don't like hairy men!"
"Hey! Kurt's fuzzy not hairy, and I don't like him!"
"Ah was talkin' 'bout Logan, let me find out ya have a guilty conscience." Kitty hit Rogue with a pillow, and Rogue started to laugh. Kitty than went to her bed and they fell asleep.
***
"So she said 'Ah don't thahnk it's a good ahdea Scott sugah!'" Scott's voice rose into an exaggerated southern voice. "Right? And all I had to do was smile and that girl melted into my arms and said, 'oh yes Scott, yes!'" Kurt was crying on Scott's bed, listening to Scott's rendition of his conversation with Rogue, Kurt didn't believe a word of it, but was being well entertained.
"I vish I vas there!" Kurt wiped the tears from his eyes. "Vhat about Kitty?"
"I forgot about her, I don't get them really. Kitty and Rogue are so different, ya know? But they're inseparable." Kurt nodded in agreement. "Hey you can come with us on our 'dates'." Scott made the quote unquote sign.
"Sure, I got your back mein freund. And now it's time for moi to get his beauty sleep. 'Night." Kurt teleported to his own room and Scott lay down on his bed intending to sleep. He blissfully fell into a dream of Jean and Rogue having a mud fight. The smile on his face lasted all night long.
***
Scott seemed to float into the dining area and glide across the room. To everyone he looked like a man in love, to Rogue he looked pathetic.
"Hello my southern princess." He leaned over and kissed Rogue's cheek, it took all her willpower not to barf in his face. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jean's shocked face and quickly blocked her mind while smiling sweetly up at Scott.
"Hey sugah." She said calmly, her voice dripping with honey.
*Hey Kitty what's up with Scott and Rogue* Kitty looked at Jean who sent the mental message and quickly blocked out any prying thoughts.
*Um, nothing. He, like, asked her out last night.* She suddenly became enraptured by her bowl of cornflakes and quietly watched Jeans face as Scott sat down beside her, staring at Rogue with an adoring look on his face. Rogue rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Hey Kitty," Kitty turned her head towards Kurt. "Vant to go to a picnic today?" Kitty looked at him in question. He had never invited her anywhere and it hit her weird. When she felt a pinch on her butt she yelped and pinched his tail which had done the cruel deed.
"Okay!" She didn't understand why he had asked her to go but immediately agreed when his tail came dangerously close to her bum again. Her pink mouth shaped into a silent 'oh' when Scott spoke to Rogue again.
"Would you like to join them Rogue?" If looks could kill, Scott would have a hole in his forehead as well as the wall behind him.
"Sure Scott, that would be nice," Rogue said through clenched teeth. She wouldn't have minded if he wouldn't have begun the farce in front of everyone in the room. She continued to eat her food and ignored him for the rest of breakfast. She suspiciously heard snickering from Logan who was hidden behind his paper; the man didn't miss a thing.
She got up to leave the table and almost screamed when Scott ran by her side and grabbed her elbow. Everyone just stared at them weirdly and tried their best to ignore them except for Jean who looked slightly irritated. When they reached her room she turned and pointed her finger to his nose.
"Ah swear ahma kill you Scott! You didn't have ta go that far!" Scott smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I love you too honey buns." She stared at him in shock as he walked away only to turn around and see Jean look at her and quickly enter her room.
"Oh gees!" Rogue entered her own room and locked the door behind her, trying to figure out what she could wear without killing some body and keeping cool at the same time. She settled on a fishnet light blue top with a navy blue tank top and a pair of dark blue stretch jeans. She pulled her short hair into a pony tail and just swiped on lip gloss. Kitty bounced in wearing a pair of denim shorts and a bikini top.
"And why are you wearing that?" Rogue asked.
"Well, I decided that if I'm gonna pretend I'm, like, dating fuzzy I'ma do it con gusto." Kitty winked at Rogue and pulled on her sneakers. Rogue sighed and began her descent down the stairs, ignoring the fact that her friend was half naked.
She walked in to find Scott and Jean arguing in a corner while Kurt was watching them from the ceiling unnoticed and grinning like a fool.
"Ahem," Scott looked at her and his face beamed, the frown immediately wiping off of his face, he practically ran towards her and grabbed her arms, kissing her on the cheek quickly. Jean threw her a dirty look and made a comment sounding suspiciously like 'overdressed man stealer'. Scott grinned at her and winked. She found herself unintentionally smiling back. Kurt teleported down and looked at Kitty appreciatively.
"I guess your vish vas granted." He said to Kitty. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"What wish?"
"The one vere you asked that you be able to fill your next bra." Kitty smacked him upside his head and walked away not really angry but knowing that it would get to Kurt if she ignored him for a little while.
"They so like each other." Scott said to Rogue.
"Please, one Kitty is enough." She said towards his choice of words. Scott laughed and wrapped his arm around her; they walked towards his car already occupied by a supposedly angry Kitty and Kurt, who was begging for her forgiveness. "Pathetic." Rogue said Scott nodded in agreement.
**
"So then Scott goes 'you von't ever understand real love that is vhat me and Rogue have'. And Jean says 'how can you love her?' and Scott says 'Just look at her' and Jean says 'exactly'." All three except Rogue were laughing at the comment; Rogue just thought the whole thing was ridiculous, not offended at all.
"Ah think ahma raise the price to ten dollars an hour." Kurt and Kitty began to laugh while Scott blushed slightly, he hadn't meant to complicate things by being overtly romantic but it seemed to be easier than acting like the usual stiff guy who always stayed at arms length, which reminded him.
"How dare you say I'm stiffer than a guy at hooters?" Rogue blushed at the memory that Kitty had reinstalled in her head. She hadn't meant to allow something like that to slip out, Kurt laughed harder.
"It wasn't me." Was all she knew to say.
"It vas the liquor talking sis. Now ve know you can't hold a candle to the fuzzy dude." She turned around and whacked him on the head. Kitty leaned her head back and laughed. They spoke amicably about everything and anything and had a great time at the park, stuffing them selves and relaxing until they felt less full and ready to play.
"How about some touch football?" Scott asked and winked at Rogue who began to blush profoundly. Scott is not a flirt, she repeated to herself but all in vain, he had been making more comments towards her without a thought on the other two people. Scott couldn't understand why he was feeling so relaxed. It just fit him perfectly at the moment. Rogue smiled at him, two can play that game.
"Sure sugah, as long as ahm the one doing the touchin'." Kurt and Kitty stood back and watched as the other two fooled around, cheering their own genders on. Eventually they changed sides and both began to cheer Rogue on who was losing sadly. Scott tackled her and knocked her onto the floor; she tried to wiggle out but only managed to get them both in an uncomfortable position.
"I've always liked being the one on top, makes me feel manly." Rogue giggled at Scott's audacity.
"Sugah with that attitude there'll never be anybody under you." With that she stuck her knee against his chest and shoved hard. He gasped and fell back. "Scott? Scott are you all right?" Rogue got up and leaned over Scott's face, touching it with her gloved hands, when she saw his lips pursed she smacked his chest and yelled loudly into his ear. Scott grabbed her and rolled over with him on top again and began to tickle her mercilessly.
Kurt and Kitty watched from the sidelines as they ate the remainder of their meal.
"They so like each other." Kitty said to Kurt.
"Like, for sure." That got him his own smack. Kurt laughed and Kitty snuggled closer, finding warmth against his hologram chest. Kurt's stomach got full of butterflies and he tensed slightly.
"Hey Kurt you're all right?" Kurt looked at Kitty and smiled.
"Yeah, just a little tired." Kitty smiled and leaned back into him. He's such a cool guy, he'd be the perfect boyfriend, she thought, never once considering that he might be hers.
***
All four entered the house early evening still laughing and smiling except for Kitty who was sleepily leaning into Kurt's side.
"I think I'll take our kitten to bed," he teleported away, leaving Rogue and Scott yawning in the living room.
"I'm not really all that tired." Scott said, as he yawned. He didn't want the night to end and hoped that Rogue felt the same way. He didn't feel like feeling stupid after such a great day.
"Neither am ah." They looked at each other and than around the room. "Wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure, meet you down in ten." They walked up together, dreading the short separation. They didn't notice Jean waiting for them in the living room, she followed them upstairs and got filled with disgust, she had never felt so jealous and did not plan to lose Scott to an untouchable kid. She began her plans on breaking up this façade.
***
"Hello everybody!" Everyone looked up to smile at Jean but their mouths fell open when they saw who had walked in behind her. "Duncan will be joining us for lunch today."
Rogue immediately looked up at Scott who didn't seem the least bit caring towards the presence of his rival. Logan on the other hand looked ready to commit murder when he had to sheath his claws with a hot dog still stuck on them. Scott got up when Jean came near to him and gathered his plate grabbing Rogue's as well since she was done. She got up and silently followed him out of the kitchen. Everyone stared at them tensely and inside Jean burned seeing that her plan wouldn't work since Scott wasn't there to witness her 'flirting' with Duncan.
Rogue grabbed Scotts arm as soon as they stepped outside, he calmly tuned around.
"Are you all right?" Scott smiled at her; he didn't look a bit phased by the situation.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it's weird, I just didn't care." Rogue smiled sensing the honesty behind his words. He needs a girl who won't keep stringing him along, she thought. Not even thinking about her self. She didn't believe she would be good enough for anybody and therefore the cause of her naivety. "You wanna go to the movies later on?"
"Sure, want me ta tell Kitty and Kurt?"
"Nah! We'll go alone." He smiled at her and they separated, doing their own thing until the evening came. They met in the lobby and Scott pulled on his baseball cap as he checked for his wallet. Jean came through the library with Duncan following behind her, looking like a pathetic puppy. She immediately grabbed his hand.
"Oh Hi Scott, how are you?" Jean asked sweetly ignoring Rogue.
"Perfectly fine. Gotta go." He grabbed Rogue's hand and almost ran out of there, thinking that Jean was a sad sight. They climbed into his car and drove away.
In the car Rogue thought how sad it was that it was all fun and games. Scott wondered what he had seen in Jean. They're minds drifted on each other and they began pointless fantasies in their minds, convincing themselves that fantasies wouldn't hurt anybody.
***
"I, like, can't believe they left us like that."
"Flat leavers!" Kurt shouted. He had just learned that phrase when Kitty announced that Rogue and Scott were out on a 'date'.
"I mean why would they want to be alone?" Kurt chuckled.
"Oh Kitty, my love, you are so naïve. Vhy do YOU think they vant to be alone?" Kitty thought for a moment and began to blush.
"Oh no! Rogue and Scott? That is so not happening!" Kurt shrugged and wondered how girls can be so dense. "Do you think?"
"I don't think, I know." Kitty blew air out of her mouth roughly and stared ahead wide eyed.
"Jean isn't going to like this."
"Her fault!" Kurt stated. She looked over to him and watched him as he rolled off the bed and land on the floor in a crouching position. "Vant to play tag?" Kitty giggled and slowly back away.
"What does the winner get Fuzzy boy?" Kurt wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
"Anything they please." Kitty laughed loudly and ran out the room, phasing through the door. Kurt realized how dumb it was since he couldn't do much but teleport and he wouldn't be able to know where she was if she would be phasing through things. "Ah man!" He ran out after her.
***
One moment of the night had taken them by surprise, when Scott had grabbed Rogue's hand with no need to keep up the charade. She grew slightly afraid because this was only supposed to be a job and was turning out to be more than she had expected. She tried to relax and pretend that Kurt and Kitty were near, but nothing was able to keep her mind off the warmth of his large calloused hands.
Neither chose to acknowledge it and they walked to the car holding hands, separating only because they couldn't get into it any other way. Scott gulped and thought to himself what he had done. He didn't know what was taking over him. They walked into the house together and found Jean and Duncan on the couch, averting their eyes from the disgusting sight of them kissing.
"Remind me ta take a shower." Rogue said.
"Give me two minutes and I'll join you." Rogue slapped Scott lightly and walked away with a humph. Scott just laughed and whistled to his room. He had never felt so happy in his life.
Rogue closed the door and leaned against it sighing loudly.
"I see someone had a great time." She turned her head towards Kitty who had a grin on her face.
"Shut up, Kit Kat!" Rogue walked over to her bed and began to undress. In the middle of the process she let out a long, high pitched scream. Kitty just laughed.
"You're in it deep." Rogue fell back on the bed and closed her eyes. Kitty watched her face. I hope this works out, she thought.
In the meantime, Scott was hearing something similar from Kurt.
"Oh man, she's got you vhipped!" Scott growled and lunged at Kurt who teleported to the other side of the room, laughing.
"Look this is just pretend."
"Do you still care about Jean?" Scott looked away unable to lie to his close friend.
"Nah man, I don't know. She just seemed to fade away as-." He couldn't finish his sentence so Kurt did it for him.
"As Rogue came into the picture." Scott nodded. "Vell that happens, nobody told you to fall in love vith your pretend girlfriend."
"Don't go there man." Kurt teleported before the pillow hit his face. "Don't go there."
***
The next day Scott and Kitty were waiting downstairs until Kurt and Rogue decided to show up for their next 'date'. Kitty was filling Scott in on her latest escapade with Rogue on finding Mr. Right.
"You, like, have no idea on how hard it is to find someone who could fit you perfectly." She said. It's not hard at all, Scott thought. He immediately regretted it; things were getting complicated fast.
***
"Ah want you to stop Kurt; you're beginnin' to sound as ridiculous as Kitty!" Kurt had been harassing her for ten minutes about her feelings for Scott. "Ah do not like him nor does he like me. He likes Jean."
"That's bull, he cares about you. He told me yesterday that he didn't like Jean anymore."
"Well, that goes to show you he's fickle."
"Fickle vhere? He's liked Jean for a long time, and his feelings didn't suddenly change either. Come on Rogue, don't be stupid." He sighed when she threw him a dirty look and left the room, he would have to deal with Scott along with Kitty's help, because Rogue wasn't going to budge, Scott would be much easier.
He ran downstairs and threw himself on the couch, shaking his head slightly at Kitty who immediately understood, they would have to work on Scott now. This would be easy.
***
"Are you crazy? Rogue is like, my little sister." Kurt and Kitty rolled their eyes and asked for divine intervention.
"You're an idiot and you know what? So is Rogue, neither one of you can, like, admit to a good thing."
"Ja! You've been happier than I've ever seen you." Scott put his head in his hands, they just couldn't understand that it would never work out; Rogue and him were too different. She wouldn't get along with his friends and she had no friends but Kitty and Kurt that he could get along with. As he began to think on the negatives, he blinked, twice. The negatives were a small list, basically non existent. He had no reason to not want to get with her, but he was afraid.
Rogue walked in and saw the serious expressions on their faces. Scott looked at her and immediately smiled, his worries lessening. He walked over to her and took her hand; she smiled at him and watched as Kitty and Kurt followed, she could have sworn they were growling at her.
Rogue and Scott couldn't pay attention to the movie; Kurt and Kitty on the other hand were enjoying it immensely.
"Scott," Rogue whispered.
"Yeah?" he whispered back. His neck heated up and he felt the small hairs rise. His heart began to flutter quickly and he gulped in nervousness.
"Nothing," Rogue looked back at the movie trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. She hadn't known what she was going to say, and she forced herself to relax, Scott just sadly stared ahead, things were not going to be easy, not at all.
Kurt and Kitty were laughing by the time they got outside, but the look on Scott and Rogue's depressed faces made them angry.
"You guys are, like, so pathetic. Why don't you just get over it and tell each other how you feel."
"Yeah!" Was all Kurt could put in since he was still stuffing his face with popcorn.
"Come on Kurt, let's go." Kitty grabbed Kurt's greasy hand and they teleported out of there. Scott and Rogue staring at the smoky spot were their friends had been. They felt trapped and afraid.
"Uh, Rogue, I think I should tell you something," Rogue prepared herself for the worst, Scott grabbed her chin. "When I came into this, it was only to get Jean back. I didn't intend things to get to the point they're at now. I didn't mean to have you fall for me." Rogue snatched her chin away from his hand.
"You crack sniffin' pig, why would ah ever fall for someone like you." She turned to walk away but Scott grabbed her arm, not listening to a word she had been saying since he realized how egotistical he had sounded.
"And I didn't mean to fall for you, but right now, I wouldn't change it for the world. You're too special to me. I've never had as much fun as I've had with you, you've changed me." Rogue looked up and smiled at him, the anger and shame at having given her heart disappearing with every precious word that came out of his mouth. "I like you, Rogue, a lot."
He leaned down and kissed Rogue on the mouth, soft and sweet. He pulled back and smiled at the familiarity of the kiss, as if they'd been doing it forever. They looked up at the trees when they heard a faint giggle on the branches. Kurt and Kitty waved at them, they waved back. Scott leaned down to his lips to her ear.
"So what do you think of playing match maker?" Rogue smiled. He kissed her on her ear and they walked towards the car, leaving Kurt and Kitty to fumble out of the tree.
**************************************************************************** * I forgot about Kitty and Kurt, if you guys want I'll make the next part on their own romance. Until than, Au Revoir!
Scott and Kurt bumped into Jean after having exited Rogue and Kitty's room, Kurt continued on while Scott stayed behind. "Um, hey Jean."

"I'm not really all that tired." Scott said, as he yawned. He didn't want the night to end and hoped that Rogue felt the same way. He didn't feel like feeling stupid after such a great day.
"Neither am ah." They looked at each other and than around the room. "Wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure, meet you down in ten." They walked up together, dreading the short separation. They didn't notice Jean waiting for them in the living room, she followed them upstairs and got filled with disgust, she had never felt so jealous and did not plan to lose Scott to an untouchable kid. She began her plans on breaking up this façade.
***
"Hello everybody!" Everyone looked up to smile at Jean but their mouths fell open when they saw who had walked in behind her. "Duncan will be joining us for lunch today."
Rogue immediately looked up at Scott who didn't seem the least bit caring towards the presence of his rival. Logan on the other hand looked ready to commit murder when he had to sheath his claws with a hot dog still stuck on them. Scott got up when Jean came near to him and gathered his plate grabbing Rogue's as well since she was done. She got up and silently followed him out of the kitchen. Everyone stared at them tensely and inside Jean burned seeing that her plan wouldn't work since Scott wasn't there to witness her 'flirting' with Duncan.
Rogue grabbed Scotts arm as soon as they stepped outside, he calmly tuned around.
"Are you all right?" Scott smiled at her; he didn't look a bit phased by the situation.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it's weird, I just didn't care." Rogue smiled sensing the honesty behind his words. He needs a girl who won't keep stringing him along, she thought. Not even thinking about her self. She didn't believe she would be good enough for anybody and therefore the cause of her naivety. "You wanna go to the movies later on?"
"Sure, want me ta tell Kitty and Kurt?"
"Nah! We'll go alone." He smiled at her and they separated, doing their own thing until the evening came. They met in the lobby and Scott pulled on his baseball cap as he checked for his wallet. Jean came through the library with Duncan following behind her, looking like a pathetic puppy. She immediately grabbed his hand.
"Oh Hi Scott, how are you?" Jean asked sweetly ignoring Rogue.
"Perfectly fine. Gotta go." He grabbed Rogue's hand and almost ran out of there, thinking that Jean was a sad sight. They climbed into his car and drove away.
In the car Rogue thought how sad it was that it was all fun and games. Scott wondered what he had seen in Jean. They're minds drifted on each other and they began pointless fantasies in their minds, convincing themselves that fantasies wouldn't hurt anybody.
***
"I, like, can't believe they left us like that."
"Flat leavers!" Kurt shouted. He had just learned that phrase when Kitty announced that Rogue and Scott were out on a 'date'.
"I mean why would they want to be alone?" Kurt chuckled.
"Oh Kitty, my love, you are so naïve. Vhy do YOU think they vant to be alone?" Kitty thought for a moment and began to blush.
"Oh no! Rogue and Scott? That is so not happening!" Kurt shrugged and wondered how girls can be so dense. "Do you think?"
"I don't think, I know." Kitty blew air out of her mouth roughly and stared ahead wide eyed.
"Jean isn't going to like this."
"Her fault!" Kurt stated. She looked over to him and watched him as he rolled off the bed and land on the floor in a crouching position. "Vant to play tag?" Kitty giggled and slowly back away.
"What does the winner get Fuzzy boy?" Kurt wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
"Anything they please." Kitty laughed loudly and ran out the room, phasing through the door. Kurt realized how dumb it was since he couldn't do much but teleport and he wouldn't be able to know where she was if she would be phasing through things. "Ah man!" He ran out after her.
***
One moment of the night had taken them by surprise, when Scott had grabbed Rogue's hand with no need to keep up the charade. She grew slightly afraid because this was only supposed to be a job and was turning out to be more than she had expected. She tried to relax and pretend that Kurt and Kitty were near, but nothing was able to keep her mind off the warmth of his large calloused hands.
Neither chose to acknowledge it and they walked to the car holding hands, separating only because they couldn't get into it any other way. Scott gulped and thought to himself what he had done. He didn't know what was taking over him. They walked into the house together and found Jean and Duncan on the couch, averting their eyes from the disgusting sight of them kissing.
"Remind me ta take a shower." Rogue said.
"Give me two minutes and I'll join you." Rogue slapped Scott lightly and walked away with a humph. Scott just laughed and whistled to his room. He had never felt so happy in his life.
Rogue closed the door and leaned against it sighing loudly.
"I see someone had a great time." She turned her head towards Kitty who had a grin on her face.
"Shut up, Kit Kat!" Rogue walked over to her bed and began to undress. In the middle of the process she let out a long, high pitched scream. Kitty just laughed.
"You're in it deep." Rogue fell back on the bed and closed her eyes. Kitty watched her face. I hope this works out, she thought.
In the meantime, Scott was hearing something similar from Kurt.
"Oh man, she's got you vhipped!" Scott growled and lunged at Kurt who teleported to the other side of the room, laughing.
"Look this is just pretend."
"Do you still care about Jean?" Scott looked away unable to lie to his close friend.
"Nah man, I don't know. She just seemed to fade away as-." He couldn't finish his sentence so Kurt did it for him.
"As Rogue came into the picture." Scott nodded. "Vell that happens, nobody told you to fall in love vith your pretend girlfriend."
"Don't go there man." Kurt teleported before the pillow hit his face. "Don't go there."
***
The next day Scott and Kitty were waiting downstairs until Kurt and Rogue decided to show up for their next 'date'. Kitty was filling Scott in on her latest escapade with Rogue on finding Mr. Right.
"You, like, have no idea on how hard it is to find someone who could fit you perfectly." She said. It's not hard at all, Scott thought. He immediately regretted it; things were getting complicated fast.
***
"Ah want you to stop Kurt; you're beginnin' to sound as ridiculous as Kitty!" Kurt had been harassing her for ten minutes about her feelings for Scott. "Ah do not like him nor does he like me. He likes Jean."
"That's bull, he cares about you. He told me yesterday that he didn't like Jean anymore."
"Well, that goes to show you he's fickle."
"Fickle vhere? He's liked Jean for a long time, and his feelings didn't suddenly change either. Come on Rogue, don't be stupid." He sighed when she threw him a dirty look and left the room, he would have to deal with Scott along with Kitty's help, because Rogue wasn't going to budge, Scott would be much easier.
He ran downstairs and threw himself on the couch, shaking his head slightly at Kitty who immediately understood, they would have to work on Scott now. This would be easy.
***
"Are you crazy? Rogue is like, my little sister." Kurt and Kitty rolled their eyes and asked for divine intervention.
"You're an idiot and you know what? So is Rogue, neither one of you can, like, admit to a good thing."
"Ja! You've been happier than I've ever seen you." Scott put his head in his hands, they just couldn't understand that it would never work out; Rogue and him were too different. She wouldn't get along with his friends and she had no friends but Kitty and Kurt that he could get along with. As he began to think on the negatives, he blinked, twice. The negatives were a small list, basically non existent. He had no reason to not want to get with her, but he was afraid.
Rogue walked in and saw the serious expressions on their faces. Scott looked at her and immediately smiled, his worries lessening. He walked over to her and took her hand; she smiled at him and watched as Kitty and Kurt followed, she could have sworn they were growling at her.
Rogue and Scott couldn't pay attention to the movie; Kurt and Kitty on the other hand were enjoying it immensely.
"Scott," Rogue whispered.
"Yeah?" he whispered back. His neck heated up and he felt the small hairs rise. His heart began to flutter quickly and he gulped in nervousness.
"Nothing," Rogue looked back at the movie trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. She hadn't known what she was going to say, and she forced herself to relax, Scott just sadly stared ahead, things were not going to be easy, not at all.
Kurt and Kitty were laughing by the time they got outside, but the look on Scott and Rogue's depressed faces made them angry.
"You guys are, like, so pathetic. Why don't you just get over it and tell each other how you feel."
"Yeah!" Was all Kurt could put in since he was still stuffing his face with popcorn.
"Come on Kurt, let's go." Kitty grabbed Kurt's greasy hand and they teleported out of there. Scott and Rogue staring at the smoky spot were their friends had been. They felt trapped and afraid.
"Uh, Rogue, I think I should tell you something," Rogue prepared herself for the worst, Scott grabbed her chin. "When I came into this, it was only to get Jean back. I didn't intend things to get to the point they're at now. I didn't mean to have you fall for me." Rogue snatched her chin away from his hand.
"You crack sniffin' pig, why would ah ever fall for someone like you." She turned to walk away but Scott grabbed her arm, not listening to a word she had been saying since he realized how egotistical he had sounded.
"And I didn't mean to fall for you, but right now, I wouldn't change it for the world. You're too special to me. I've never had as much fun as I've had with you, you've changed me." Rogue looked up and smiled at him, the anger and shame at having given her heart disappearing with every precious word that came out of his mouth. "I like you, Rogue, a lot."
He leaned down and kissed Rogue on the mouth, soft and sweet. He pulled back and smiled at the familiarity of the kiss, as if they'd been doing it forever. They looked up at the trees when they heard a faint giggle on the branches. Kurt and Kitty waved at them, they waved back. Scott leaned down to his lips to her ear.
"So what do you think of playing match maker?" Rogue smiled. He kissed her on her ear and they walked towards the car, leaving Kurt and Kitty to fumble out of the tree.
