".. Mon ami.." A small smile curved over Rogue's lips as she sat at the end of Gambit's bed and watched him sleep. They were both back at the institute. The truth was, Rogue felt safe with Remy, or Gambit as everyone else called him. She wore grey sweat pants and a black sweatshirt. It was a hot night in the institute but she didn't care. She was so lost in thought she didn't notice Gambit open one eye to see her staring off into space. He quickly closed it. ".. Mm.. chére.." She blinked, staring at him. ".. y' have nice legs.. nice.. long legs.."
"Perv.." She muttered then got up. In a flash, Gambit sat up, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down before she could go.
"An' where are y' goin', chére?" He whispered into her ear. She shivered at the feeling of his hot breath on her neck. "Y don' plan on leavin' Remy already do y'?" She leaned back into his arms.
"Such a smooth talker ya are." She muttered sarcastically. He chuckled. "Ya look like a baby with a goatee when ya sleep."
"Mm.. A hairy baby.."
"Like Kurt?"
"Remy said hairy not blue 'n fuzzy." She gave him a look but ignored his comment. "So, Roguey, Y' like sittin' at de end of Remy's bed o' what?"
"Yeah. It's jus' so comfy."
"Ouch. What is wit' all de sarcasm, chére?" Her response was mostly silence. If she hadn't been so tired she would have made a witty comeback. But then he'd take that for sarcasm.. Instead, She took the opportunity and fell asleep. After a few minutes, he had realized she had fallen asleep. "Is that supposed to be sarcasm, chére?" He gave a small chuckle and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"I know you two have gotten 'close' over the past few months but this is a bad example for the children." Ororo's voice made their eyes pop open. "You're both lucky Logan isn't the one who didn't find you."
"'Roro.." Rogue sat up immediately. Her voice was groggy and her hair was messed up. "It's not what it looks like.." Ororo put her hands on her hips.
"Child, If I thought something went on, the wall wouldn't still be standing." Gambit just muttered something then rolled to the other side of the bed with his face buried in his pillow. Rogue rolled her eyes and got up.
"Ah'm gonna go take a shower or somethin'." Gambit's head bolted up and stared at the direction of Rogue as she left the room. Ororo gave him a look then walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. Remy just grunted. Stormy gets de wrong ideas of t'ings.. Remy would have accompanied Roguey to the bathroom.. He then placed his head back on his pillow and went back to bed.

Do you honestly believe Remy would want an untouchable girlfriend?
Rogue blinked as the bubble suds fell down into her bubble bath. Had she heard correctly? She reached behind her and pinned her shoulder length hair up.
Remy won't stay long. He'll get tired of being around an untouchable.
She shrugged it off. Rogue leaned her head back against the cool side of the tub and closed her eyes. She enjoyed the morning silence in the institute.
Who would waste their time with an untouchable?
Her eyes popped open. "What?" Her voice echoed in the huge empty bathroom. Her body tensed up and she waited for a response but it never came.

"Y' decent?" Gambit asked walking into Rogue's room. She laid, sprawled out, on her bed. She wore black pants, torn at the knee, and a black tank top under a green transparent long sleeved shirt. Her hair was brushed but still wet from her bath.
"Ya would still come in if Ah wasn't." She stuck her tongue out at him as he sat himself down on her bed. He gave her a hurt look. "Don't give meh that look, Cajun."
"Touché." He joked. He frowned. It was hard for him to joke around when she had a serious look on her face. "Penny fo'-"
"Does it bother you that ya can't touch me." She glanced over at him. He hesitated. Was this a trick question or something?
"Remy can touch y'." He laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her un-exposed waist. She just sighed. "What is buggin' y'?"
"Do ya want to spend time wit' someone ya can't have skin ta skin contact wit'?"
He stared into her emerald eyes. "'Dat don' matter to Remy."
Lies.
Rogue sat straight up. "What?"
"Remy said 'dat don' matter to him." He rested his chin on her shoulder. "Y' okay, chére?"
He felt her tense up. "Why wouldn't Ah be?"
"Never mind, Roguey."
"Ahem." They both turned around to see Kitty standing in the doorway. Instead of her usual clothes she wore beige shorts, and a white tank top. "I totally don't think Logan would, like, approve of you two alone in a room on a bed."
Remy stood up, walked over to her and bowed. "Désolé. Remy was, like, jus' leavin' Kitty-Cat." He gave her salute then winked at Rogue and left.
"Was he, like, making fun of me? 'Cause I totally don't sound like that." Kitty crossed her arms and stared at Rogue. "Are you okay?"
"Ah'm fine." Rogue snapped, lying back down.
No
you're not.

"Pick a card, fille, any card." Gambit sat across from Jubilee at the dinner table with a deck of cards in his hands. Jubilee blushed madly and took one. "Memo'ize it 'den put it back." Still blushing, and without looking at the card, she put it back. Gambit shuffled the cards then took one out. "Is 'dis yo're card?"
"OUI!" Jubilee squealed happily.
Bobby, who was standing behind her the whole time shook his head. "That's not your card, Jubes."
"Shut up, Ice cube boy, It is." He sat down next to her and, again, shook his head.
"No, Your card was- OW! That was my foot, Sparky!" He yelped jumping up on one foot. Gambit just shrugged his shoulders, smirked, and left the table.
"See what you did?" Jubilee snapped. "He was coming on to me and you ruined it. Thanks a lot, Cubes. My gosh. You just had to ruin it for me!"
"Everyone knows he likes Rogue and vice-versa." He commented, rubbing his foot. "They're practically a couple."
"Who iz a couple?" Kurt asked bamf'ing into the kitchen. He grabbed a few donuts off the counter and began inhaling them.
"Rogue and Gambit." Bobby muttered eyeing Jubilee.
"Meine schwester and that thief? No way."
"See!" Jubilee said, standing up. "Even Kurt says they're not a couple."
"Yeah, Over my dead body."
"You're both wrong." Bobby stated matter-of-factly. By now Jubilee was angry. She squeezed the donut that was in her hand. The two boys laughed at her face. Neither Bobby nor Jubilee noticed that Rogue just entered the room. Kurt was about to say something but Jubilee's mouth opened first.
"Why would he want someone he couldn't touch, anyway?" Jubilee snapped. Rogue stopped dead in her tracks. Noticing Kurt's shocked face, Jubilee quickly turned around. "Oh shit."
They talk about you behind your back..
Rogue just shrugged her shoulders then walked out of the room.
"Rogue, wait-" Bobby and Kurt said at the same time. Kurt bamf'd out of the room and Bobby ran after her. By the time they reached her she was in the hallway heading to her room.
"It's nice ta know y'all talk about me when Ah'm not around." She yelled, turning her head at Bobby. She didn't notice she walked right into Gambit. He grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. Rogue screamed when she realized her sleeve had been pulled up and with his bare skin he grabbed her exposed skin. She expected his memories and powers to began to flow into her but it didn't happen. They both stood there stunned with Gambit still holding on to her.
