Chapter 7 Happy end

A hour later:

Logan had told them what had happened that night.

And it was clear to Jean that almost everybody blamed her for it. Logan didn't say anything. He was too worried about Rogue who laid in a bed motionless. She had high fever her breath was slow and unregular.

Charles rolled to his side and smiled slightly by his worried expression. "Don't be sacred Logan. She'll be okay. Probably it's just the flu. Nasty, but it'll go away. Promise."

Storm sighed. "No wonder she's sick. It is damn cold upstairs, we are lucky that she didn't froze to death", she said and they nodded.

Logan turned to them. "Leave me alone with her", he said.

Scott laughed. "I would never after what you did to her".

Jean grabbed his arm. "It wasn't his fault", she stated. But he looked at her angrily. "I'm not in the mood for talking to you, right now".

Charles rolled to the doorand Storm followed him quietly. "Scott, Jean. Please come with me. You don't need to worry about her. Logan will handle this alone", he said and looked at them in way that tolerated no contradiction.

They nodded and left with the room without saying a word. And Logan was finally alone with her. He sat closer and stroke her hot face softly.

"Oh Marie. My sweet Marie. I'm so sorry. I swear I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you so much. Jean, I don't even like her much, she just was there when I felt confused. It just felt strange to have someone who cared about and who to care about. It confused me. I was scared I would become a softy or something like that. I had to save my manliness. I know, that's a lame excuse but I didn't mean to say these things. And the kiss.. she kissed me. I promise you, I was so shocked I couldn't move. I felt nothing, not the slightest bit. But when I look at you, my heart begins to race and I have no control over my body. A lot of times I almost kissed you, without you to notice it. And ..and when you wake up now. I promise we'll figure things out. But please open your eyes again", he said and grabbed her hand tightly.

Unnoticed to him a small smile appeared on her lips. Then she opened her eyes and looked at him happily. A few seconds they just stared at each other, without saying a word.

"You're such a macho. Do you know that? Save your manliness? Holy shit. I think I really have to take care of you now." She said quietly and grinned.

He laughed relieved. "Please do that"!

Then he bent down and kissed her softly and she kissed him back. Gently he leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you so much my little Freak".

"Love you too, my big Freak", she said and smiled. "And what will the others say about this. I mean you and me?"

He shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care. "I don't know. Scott is going to kill me that's for sure. But ya know what? I don't care."

She nodded. She didn't neither. "Two Freaks against the world. Wouldn't that be a great title for a story about us?"

He laughed. "I don't think anybody wants to write about us. I mean we're not that interesting anyway", he said. "Two Freaks against the world", he muttered and grinned.

That sounded good.

End

A/N: Okay, this end is typical for my stories but I just can't think of a better way. Hope it wasn't to lame. Please review
