Chapter 15:
Rogue had spent the rest of the day hanging out with Scott, Kurt and Kitty. They had managed to keep her mind off her problems by occupying every second of her time and never once did they ask her what was wrong.
Then just after dinner the Professor called her to his office to make sure that she was all right. She assured him that she was and then they had a short session before she went back to sit with everyone.
Around 11:00pm everyone decided it was time to turn in for bed. And Scott decided to escort Rogue back to her room.
"So will I be seeing you tonight?" he asked cautiously, not wanting to upset Rogue.
"No, no window hopping for meh tonight. Ah'm just going ta go ta bed," she replied sadly.
"Ok," he replied, and then he felt he had to add, "Everything will be all right in the end."
"Ah hope so, Scott," she replied.
"Good night Rogue."
"Good night, Scott," she replied.
And once he walked away, she opened her door and stepped into her darkened room, not bothering to turn on the lights. She closed the door and went to her dresser to get some pajamas.
"Scott's right, you know?" she heard from the darkness.
Rogue abruptly turned around to the sound of the voice and saw Evan's silhouette in the darkness.
"Evan?" she asked uncertainly.
"Yeah it's me," he replied.
"What are ya doing here?" she asked, confused by his presence; in all their late night meetings she always went to him.
"I had a feeling you wouldn't come see me tonight, so I decided to come to you," he replied.
"Ah just wasn't feeling good today. So ah thought ah'd go ta bed early that's all," she lied.
He gave her a look that said, "No that isn't all and you know it."
She sighed and dropped onto her bed.
"What d ya want Evan?" she asked, sounding dejected.
"You," he replied, coming to sit next to her.
She gasped at his revelation but said nothing.
"I'm tired of pretending I don't care about you deeply," he admitted, "I'm in love with you Rogue."
He looked at her intently hoping to get the reaction he wanted.
"Ya can't be," she replied adamantly.
"Why not?" he asked, incredulously.
"Because Evan! Just because," she said, frustrated. She stood up and walked away, her back to him.
Evan stood up and walked behind her, he put his arms around her and said, "Well that's not a good enough reason for me."
She turned around in his arms to face him, "Look at meh Evan! Ya can't love meh. Ah'm ah freak who can't touch."
"You are not a freak. I love you no matter what," he replied, tightening his hold on her.
"Evan..." she started to say but he cut her off.
"I love you Rogue, in spite of your powers, because of your powers, both. It's you I love. Even if you don't feel the same," he replied, releasing her.
"That's the problem," she said sitting on her bed again, "Ah feel tha exact same."
He stood in front of her and said, "You mean, you love me too?"
She looked up into his hope filled eyes, "Of course ah love ya. How could ah not? Ya've been so great ta meh. But that's not what's important here. What's important is that we can never have ah normal relationship."
"Normal? Who wants normal? Normal is boring. I like the abnormal," he said smiling very brightly because of her own revelation.
He knelt down in front of her. She reached out her gloved hand and caressed his cheek, smiling at him, "Oh Evan, ya're such ah sweetheart."
He held onto her hand and kissed her knuckles. She pulled him up to sit beside her.
He looked into her eyes and said, "I know we can make this work. We just need to give it a try."
"Ya think?" she asked, uncertainly.
He reached up his hand and pushed back the hair that fell over her eyes, "You love me right?" She nodded shyly, "And I love you. I know we can Rogue. Only if you want to though."
"Ah do," she said, her voice wavering.
"Good," he added.
They sat there looking into each other's eyes until Evan decided to close the distance between them, letting their lips touch. The kiss was soft and gentle and lasted the whole 10 seconds. When they released, they looked into each other's eyes each seeing the other wanted more. Evan touched his lips to hers once more, but this time the kiss intensified. And he was more reluctant to let her lips go. But he did, knowing the 10 seconds were up.
They didn't say a word to each other, Evan laid back down on the bed and pulled Rogue down with him. She rested her head on his chest and sighed in contentment.
Then they both fell asleep.
And when Rogue awoke that morning Evan was gone.
