In the quiet of the night at the Xavier Institute, Rogue sat restlessly in the rec room. She yawned softly as she hugged her knees to her chest as she rocked herself. Her eyes seemed glued to the TV as she attempted to forget the nightmare that had haunted her sleep for the third night in a row. She rested her head upon the couch and attempted to fall into a doze to the murmur of the TV but it was pointless. Slowly she rested her head against the back of the couch and released a sigh as she closed her eyes in frustration. As they parted once more she found Remy standing over her smirking slightly as she bent downward to kiss her softly on the lips. Reluctantly she placed her gloved hand against his cheek and then gently covered his mouth. " Sorry sugar, I don't want you getting hurt..I love you too much to kiss you." Remy narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Ah told you I don't care, it's worth the pain." Rogue rolled her eyes at his naive ways as Remy sat down beside her and asked, " Why are you up anyway it's 1:30 in the morning."Rogue explained to him that she had a nightmare and Remy placed his arms around her gently. " Well I'm here now I'll chase the boogie man away.oh there he is..." Remy said jokingly as he pointed to a corner of the wall and roared in a deep tone at the corner. " There he's gone now." Rogue giggled slightly then looked to Remy sternly. " You've been up to trouble again haven't you Cajun!" She accused. Remy's eyes looked away sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck. " Hey what can I say old habits die hard.I was only plain' poker though, I didn't steal this time Cherie." Rogue shook her head jokingly. " You know the professor will." Remy cut her off by placing a jewelry box in her hand. She opened it and smiled as she pulled out a custom made necklace with the pendant of the queen of hearts. " That's cheating!" she said with a fake pout. Remy helped her put on and smiled. She had no intention of telling the professor anyway. " Using a bribe." Remy shook his finger. " Now now I had that made for you long before I played poker and cleaned out the hi rollers.I was gonna give it to you regardless as an early Christmas present.and while I'm at it I guess I'll give your other present as well." Rogue quirked a brow at him. " I know you don't like staying here during the holidays so why don't we take a vacation together it'll be fun..maybe to the Bahamas; that'll be nice and warm. Or we can go somewhere else." he said softly as he took her hand and placed it in his and gently began to caress it. " That would be great!" she said as she placed her free hand upon Remy's cheek and kissed the back of it. " Thank you sugar." Rogue slowly closed her eyes for a moment then didn't reopen them. Remy smiled as he scooped her up in his arms and carried her upstairs and walked down the hall; gently he turned the knob of the door and opened it and placed her upon her bed. He removed her shoes and covered her up before stepping out of her room and closing the door behind him. Tiredly he walked down the hallway and turned left and continued walking until he neared his door to find Rogue standing there. " Cherie how'd you." Roue cut him off when she stepped over to him and kissed him passionately upon the lips.
