Title: Affairs of the Heart Chapter two: "Longing"

Summary: Everyone knows Rogue falls for Gambit, but had a crush on Scott (in X-Men Evolution), and liked Bobby (in X-men the movie). Well what happens when she becomes friends with Belladonna, the girl who was to be Gambit's wife, and Scott comes into play with her feelings? Find out what "adventures", misunderstandings, and other things happen when these three people create a triangle, or does it become a different structure with a fourth person in play? ^_^0

A/N: Sorry I don't know what Rogue's teacher's names are so I made up my own. I saw Charlie's Angels Full Throttle the day I started to write this. ^_^

The next day at school when Rogue was in English, her teacher interrupted the class to present a new student.

"Everyone I would like you to meet Mister LeBeau, Remy LeBeau. He's from the southwest. Would anyone like to show him around school?" No one of course volunteered, so her teacher being a teacher picked Rogue because she had not been paying attention in class and was still talking to Risty at the moment, while everyone had quieted.

"Mss. D'Ancanto thank you for volunteering."

"But Mister O'Grady I didn't volunteer!"

"Well no one else did either, and you seem to be the only one who was 'real- ly' paying attention to my lesson."

Rogue mumbled a 'fine' with a depressed- great I get stuck with the dorky new kid- look on her face.

"Mr. LeBeau could you please take a seat next to Mss. D'Ancanto."

"Now Mr. Drake could you please continue to read."

As Bobby Drake continued reading the ending to Hamlet, Rogue didn't even give Remy a look, but continued her conversation with Risty on the school's lack of money for the important things, like costumes for the drama department. However Risty noticed Remy staring at her friend, even though Remy wore glasses somehow she was able to sense that he was staring at them with a thin grin on his face.

~*~*~*~

* Days swiftly come and go. I'm dreaming of her She's seeing other guys Emotions they stir The sun is gone. The nights are long And I am left while the tears fall.*

As Scott packed for his geology trip tomorrow, he blasted the radio hoping to distract his mind from thinking about last year's trip. He was supposed to go with Jean on the trip, but she had to stay to make up for the many days she was missing from school. instead Rogue took her seat, Scott couldn't help but think about what would have happened if Mystique had never interfered. Maybe he would have said something about he feels for her.

* Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of My heart is crushed by a former love Can you help me find a way

To carry on again.*

"Hey! Man can you, like, turn the music down!?!" Asked Kurt as he entered the room he shared with Scott.

"Sorry didn't realize you were gonna come back so soon. So what happened on your little date?"

"It went ok. She liked the restaurant I took her to and we went dancing afterwards, who knew she loved dancing?"

"Hey that's what you get for going out with a girl whose full of surprises."

"Yeah but I really like her."

"You can so tell."

"What does that mean?"

"You're in love and you can see it in your eyes, you'd do anything for her."

"You talk from experience, hmm? You so love my sis!"

"hey what is that supposed to mean??"

"Just that you got it bad for her, that's all."

Kurt to busy thinking about the wonderful date he had, didn't notice the pillows that were hurled at him, and was knocked to the ground before he could even move or even realize he was being attacked by Scott.

~*~*~*~

"Hey you need a ride home or something?" Asked Rogue trying, for the first time that day, to be polite to the new kid.

"Umm sure. Do you know who Saint John is?"

"Yeah"

"Do you know where he lives?"

"Yeah"

"Can you take me there?"

"Sure that's where I'm headed anyway."

"Cool, thanks," he said with a sultry grin, that gave his face a shining glow to it, and hoped in the back seat of the dark blue Mercedes Benz.

Before going to the mansion Rogue dropped Risty off first. Rogue had asked Ororo (Storm) the day before if she could borrow her car because Mr. O'Grady had said he wanted to talk to her about something after school the next day. She also wanted to ask him a few questions about the assignment he gave the other day. As they arrived at the mansion Remy couldn't help but mumble under his breathe, "Damn John, you've got it good."

"Did you say something?"

"No, nothing. So this is where John lives?"

"Yeah"

"Wow, he most be rich."

"No.this is the institute."

"Institute? John is a dead man."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

AS they entered the building they were greeted by Professor Xavier.

"So you must be the young man John was talking about. Hello, I'm Professor Xavier, the students call me Professor X for short."

"Hey, I'm."

"I know who you are, Remy LeBeau, and I know all about you."

"What are you like the smartest person alive or mister-know-it-all, no offense?"

"None taken and you can say something like that. Actually I am telepathic and with the help of my invention Cyrebro I was able to get information on you and also some information from St. John."

"O..k. Just show me to my room and I think I'll be fine."

"Rogue would you mind showing him to the empty room next to yours and Kitty's?"

"No prob. Profes."

~*~*~*~

"Here's your room and if you need anything or any help.don't come to me."

"Ok, then may I ask one last ques.?"

"Knock yourself out."

"Where's Saint John's room, so I can go to him if I need anything or any help."

"Just down at the end the last door to your left."

"Thankyou very much mon chere." He entered the room and had closed the door before Rogue could have said something back to him.

~*~*~*~
As Rogue sat under tree in the yard of the mansion, writing her book, she didn't realize someone was above her watching, studying her, and reading what she was writing, until she heard a voice.

'Longing'
Every feeling given to one
Has never been given to me
Never feeling the warmth of another
Never being able to feel
What is not living
Without rendering them helpless
Every night a tear drops
Leaving streaks down my cheeks
From the reddening eyes of thyne
I pray for the touch and longing of another
Which may be granted to me one day

"Hey you whoever's up there, come down here right now! Before I decide to have you wake up in a hospital!"

"It's just me chere. I didn't mean any harm or offense by reading your poem. I am truly sorry I wasn't trying to be nosey or anything.why are you laughing?"

Rogue had started laughing at Remy, for the short time that she has 'know' or rather been around him she has never seen him sweat so much. He has always given off the cool air.

"You... it's ok as long as you don't tell anyone."

"Why do write about such a sad thing, you sound as if you've never touched anyone or anything."

"Because I can't touch anyone or anything, or I risk sending to the hospital in a coma. Why do you wear glasses? Are you like Scott, can you blast beams from your eyes?"

"No I'm not like Scott, my power is that I can convert an object's stored potential energy into explosive kinetic energy upon contact. I wear glasses because I feel like it."

"That doesn't sound very."

"Powerful or dangerous? It can be to the person who gets hit with the charged object. I mostly use playing cards."

"How nice playing cards. Do you gamble in your free time?"

"No."

"Can I see what you eyes look like?" "Yes you can."

As Rogue reached up to take his glasses off he caught her hands before she got to even touch his glasses.

"You said I could see your eyes."

"You will. when the time's right."

She just looked up at him with a puzzled look.

"Est-ce que n'importe qui vous a indiqué, vous sont beau avec vos yeux de vert de perforation, cheveux auburn, et a lissé le corps mince ?" (Translation: Did anyone tell you, you are beautiful with your piercing green eyes, auburn hair, and sleek slender body?)

"Vous pouvez vouloir observer ce que vous dites, M. Suave, avant vous vent vers le haut dans l'hôpital." (Translation: You may want to watch what you say, Mr. Suave, before you wind up in the hospital.)

A/N: Sorry I took so long to write this chapter. I don't speak French so I am extremely sorry if I got something wrong, I translated the sentences on dictionary.com. Who should I make the girl Kurt went out with to be? If anyone knows whom Kurt likes, please tell. All I know is that he had once liked his foster sister Amanda and went out with her a few times. I'm so0o happy X-Men Evo.'s new season starts Saturday on The WB! I'll try to get the fourth chapter up as soon as possible. ^_^
