When Rogue woke up, her instincts took over and she jumped away from John.
At the sudden movement, he woke up.
"Mornin', luv," he said sleepily.
"It's still late afternoon. Gawd that was a bad idea ta fall asleep. Ah could've hurt you."
"Well you didn't. I'm fine, you're fine. Life is peachy, ain't it?" he said getting up and grabbing his jacket. "I'm gonna get some food. Be back soon. Don't go anywhere." He left Rogue in her own thoughts. As much as she hated to admit it, she liked being held by John. But she knew it would never work. She can't get close. Ever.
'Oh come on Rogue! John is a total hottie!' she could imagine Kitty saying to her. 'Rogue, he isn't good enough for you. He's the enemy. Stay away,' imaginary Scott warned. "stop it," she mumbled, but she could only hear the imaginary voices of her old friends giving her different advice. They wouldn't stop. "STOP IT!" she yelled, just as John walked in. he dropped the fast food bags he had and was instantly by her side.
"Rogue. Come on luv. Snap out of it," he shouted.
*I can't breathe I can't get this out
Don't know and I can't explain
But I feel that I will be the only one now
Can't seem to penetrate
You can talk about the only way out
I know it's gonna get me again
Why do you have to tell me
The things you tell me
About working instantly
But I suppose that you expose and you open up one
Can't seem to penetrate
Still talking about the only way out
I know it's gonna get me again
I hope the demon doesn't dwell inside you
I know it's gonna get me again
No don't drop me now
I'll sink into the underground
I said no don't drop me now
I'll sink into the underground (Sink Into the Underground- CKY)*
"John?" she finally answered, throwing her arms around him, but quickly drawing away.
"What happened Rogue?" he asked concerned.
"Nothin'. Just a headache," she lied.
"Bullshit," he said, seeing past the lie.
"Ah don't know. It's just that Ah've been away from mah friends for so long that Ah think Ah'm imagining them talkin' ta me. Ah sound crazy, don't Ah?" she looked down at her feet, embarrassed about all of this.
"You just haven't talked to enough people. Don't worry about it. You need to start getting close to people. If I help you find a cure for your powers will you open up?"
"Who should Ah open up ta?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
"Me. You are livin' with me after all," he laughed a little.
"Alright. Ya have a deal."
Weeks went by without any sign of a cure to Rogue's powers. John never let Rogue go out without him and he also made her quit her job, just to be safe. He felt bad and started to feel like a kidnapper, but Rogue was ok with it. It was still driving her crazy.
One day John had come in after being gone for a few hours. He seemed extremely energetic.
"Rogue guess what! I found this guy who's sister's boyfriend's uncle has a friend who's cousin's best friend is a mutant. This mutant has a device that prevents mutant powers from working!" he seemed incredibly proud of himself.
"We're not exactly gonna be able ta contact him anytime soon though. It's not gonna help me much," Rogue said a little disappointed.
"Well that mutant turns out to be my good mate Gambit," he added with less enthusiasm.
"Why didn't ya say so?" she said running and jumping into his arms, which he happily returned the hug. 'I think I'm fallin' for her,' he thought. 'but she'll want to move on after she gets this power-stopper-thing.'
"I'm gonna pick it up in the mornin'. It may take a while. Gambit isn't exactly the easiest person to track down," he said.
Rogue couldn't even sleep that night. She was so excited she'd be able to touch again. She finally fell asleep, but when she woke up, Pyro was already gone. He left a not on the door reminding her to stay in the apartment. 'why couldn't he take me with him? Damn that stupid pyromaniac. Damn him to Hell,' she thought. 'If he wasn't so cute, Ah'd probably punch him. Hard.
Rogue spent most of the day watching TV and staring out the window waiting for John. She decided to get up and do something constructive, so she started baking a casserole. (A/N: Rogue making a casserole? I know I've lost it.) she had only been cooking for a few minutes when she heard someone knock on the door. She opened the door a crack to see the charming Cajun John was supposed to be with.
"Gambit? What are ya doin' here?" she asked, wondering what he could possibly want.
"John told Remy to come see his chere," he answered.
"I'm not his chere. How do Ah know it's really you? Um..what's mah favorite color?" she asked.
"Merde. How is Remy supposed to know dat?"
"Alright come in," she said opening the door to let him in.
"Remy can come in? but how do you know-"
Mystique would've tried guessin' my favorite color and you were honest. Plus you talk in third person and ya swore in French," she said.
"Good point, petite."
"So where's John?" she questioned, getting really concerned. "Is he alright?"
"He's fine. Dat ting dat will stop your powers isn't in de country, so mon ami went to get it." He noticed the worried look on her face. "Don't worry petite. He exactly where it is."
"Alright. Well thanks for stoppin' by," she said trying to get Remy to leave.
"stoppin' by? Remy don't tink so. Someone has to watch over de Rogue while John is away," he said with a flirty grin.
"Ah don't need a babysitter," she tried to protest.
"Remy never said you did. But you do need someone to protect you. Don't blame Remy. Blame de Pyro."
"Gawd Ah hope John gets back soon."
*Whatcha think? Do you think Remy is too much of a pest? Well he's kinda supposed to be for this fic. Tell me what you think Reviews: Girl number 1- I know it seems like its going fast, but it'll slow down a lot! Trust me. I'm gonna make it as difficult as possible for these two to work it out.
