Like A Moth To A Flame

Author's Note: Wow, I'm really pleased with the amount of reviews I got just for the first chapter! ^-^ Maybe I should make Ryros more often!

"Would y'stop dat?"

St. John chuckled at his irritable Cajun friend and ignored his request. " Nah, Don't think so, mate. I'm havin' too much fun.

The Cajun, Remy LeBeau or Gambit, sat patiently in the theatre waiting for the rest of the audience to arrive. Usually, he was more lenient to the red-headed flame-addict, but he hadn't had his usual fix of a certain girl.

" If Remy wasn't too bored o'y', he be fryin' y'arse by now," Gambit said irritably.

" Look mate, maybe you should jus' give up on th'sheila. Any sane bloke would figure that she doesn't want nothing to do with you," St. John suggested as he placed his lighter back in his pocket.

St. John Allerdyce, or Pyro as he preferred his teammates to call him, was rather like an overgrown toddler. Unlike his smooth teammate Gambit, Pyro preferred to use his free time enjoying time from Magneto and an overgrown feline. He ran his hands through his red hair and sighed impatiently.

" Remy like a good challenge," Gambit smirked as he placed his arms behind his head, sitting back against the wall. " Besides, de Rogue loves Remy, de fille be a bit shy, is all."

Pyro chuckled and cracked his fingers. " Sure, mate. You jus' keep tellin' yo'self that." Glancing at his watch, St. John calculated that the movie wasn't going to be on for at least a couple more minutes, so he decided to get popcorn.

==============================================

"Ah can't believe ya got us kicked out o' th'club!" Rogue said as she made her way to the vending machines.

" And I just can't believe it's raining."

Rogue placed a dollar in the machine, only to have it returned to her. ' What the hell?' Growling in frustration, she decided to get change. Turning around, she bumped into a relatively hard, moving wall.

" Ow…"

" Geez, sorry 'bout that…"

Rogue's eyes widened, hearing that familiar accent. She looked up and saw a gaping red-headed Aussie, one of Magneto's lackeys.

" Pyro," she whispered harshly, ignoring his outstretched hand. Wanda, Todd and Pietro were already making their way towards the movie, but Rogue didn't care. She wanted to know why one of Magneto's lackeys was hanging around in the movies.

" Glad ta see a sheila remembers me name," St. John joked.

Rogue got up and brushed herself off. She gave him her patented 'death-glare' and looked around. " What are ya doin' here all alone?"

St. John smirked. " Watchin' th' movies. What else. And I'm not alone, Gambit's waitin'."

He laughed at seeing Rogue shudder at the mere sound of Gambit's name. " Please, don't say that name in front of me."

" Sure thing, luv. Just so long as you call me St. John," he replied, smiling widely. " Pyro gives away too much, y'know?"

Rogue eyed him warily, but nodded. They began to walk towards the halls and were surprised to see that they were seeing the same movie!

" You like Jackie Chan?" Rogue asked as St. John opened the door like a perfect gentleman.

" Who wouldn't?"

Rogue saw Wanda and the others sitting beside Gambit; she hid behind St. John and was surprised to find him laughing.

" Hey, ya'd try ta hide too!" Rogue hissed from behind him.

" I wouldn't doubt that, luv, it's Remy we're talkin' about."

Rogue sighed with relief as the lights dimmed. St. John took a seat next to Gambit and Rogue sat next to John. She placed her dollar back in her pockets, cursing as she forgot to buy a pack of candy. Surprisingly, St. John leaned the popcorn towards her and smiled.

" Ya don't mind?" Rogue whispered, careful not to raise her voice.

St. John smiled. " Nah. I always buy more than I can eat. Remy here doesn't like buttered popcorn."

Rogue smiled appreciatively and sat back in her seat. St. John watched her intently and a small smile appeared on his face. ' Remy's got a good taste in sheilas… I got to admit that.'
