"Because I fell in love."
The words echoed through Rogue's head over and over again. Everything around her seemed to be growing dark, except what she focused on, that charming Aussie pyromaniac we all love so much.
'He can't possibly love me,' she thought. Her friends' warnings started going through her head. They were right to think he may still be an enemy. But it didn't seem to matter now.
"You're sayin' that you gave up a wonderful reward for my capture because you love an untouchable?"
"No, I'm saying I gave up an extremely wonderful reward because I fell in love with you, Rogue. Don't you get that I don't care if you can touch. I tried to find a way for you to touch because that's what you wanted." A pink tinge spread across his face and his heart was beating faster than it ever had in his entire life. He didn't know how Rogue was going to react.
"But why? What makes me so special that you would give up Mystique's offer? Ah don't get why you would do that." The blush was starting to spread to Rogue's face now. She couldn't believe that some loved her. Someone looked past the fact that she can't touch and saw who she was.
"Because you're just like me. We both ran away from the only families we knew to find something better in life. To fine some meaning. I think I've found meaning for mine. Have you found a better life?" he looked at her from across the room, hoping that he was important for her.
"Ah- Ah don't know, John. Ah just don't know," she said quietly. She did care about John more than anything, but the fact that she couldn't touch made her insecure still.
"Let me ask you something," he said. "How has you're life been since you left the x-men?"
"Well at first it was lonely and kinda borin'. But now, even though Ah'm always in this damned apartment, Ah've been happier."
"That's all that matters to me, luv. That you're happy and that we're together. You do want to stay, don't you?"
"Of course Ah do. Ah don't have anywhere else Ah can go where Ah feel as safe as Ah do when Ah'm with you." A few moments passed in silence. John was sitting on a counter staring at his shoes. Rogue was standing in the middle of the living room-type area chewing on her lip.
"Oh yeah, the x-men know that Ah'm livin' with you now."
"I bet they were mad. Do you miss them?"
"Sometimes. They want me to go back," she said sitting down in a chair that faced John.
"Maybe you should," he said slowly and quietly, hoping she wouldn't agree.
"No," she said firmly. "Ah told them Ah wouldn't. Not yet. That's not mah home anymore. This is, right here. With you. Ah'm not leavin'." An expression of relief crossed John's face.
"Rogue, I truly am sorry, from the bottom of my heart."
"For what?" she asked.
"The whole thing with Mystique. It was stupid of me to do that to you."
"Hey, don't worry about it," she said smiling at him. "The reward must have really been worth it." He walked over to her and pulled her to sit on the couch next to him.
"No reward is worth giving up you, luv."
******* Everyone say it with me: AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW! Ok that was pretty fluffy, huh?
Everyone who reviewed- THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! Suggestions are wanted still, but I think I've figured out how to end this. The end may come sooner than expected, but I do believe a sequel may come up. :)
Rogue Warrior Spirit- I hope you like this chapter! Love is everywhere! It's so happy! Woo hoo!
DemonRogue13 – I'm glad you like 10 and 11. I worked really hard on those and this one. I'm gonna try to update a lot more, so long as people keep reviewing. Thanks for wasting 5 minutes of your time to review my story. It's much appreciated.
Strong Side Of Silence- I'm glad you didn't decided to kill me! If you did, then there wouldn't be an update and I think that other readers of my story might be a little angry with you. Killing is never a solution. Wow I'll stop lecturing you now. Hehe (I'm really hyper, can you tell?) anyways I'm glad you think my story is "friggen awesome". That makes me a very happy little Immortal.
R&R!!!!!PLEASE!
