Chapter Six

Author's Note: Sorry I have not updated lately. I am the kind of person who starts something but then gets bored with it after a while. I had a scarf that I was knitting a couple years ago that took me about six years to finish. I am going to try and finish my stories so please give me your opinions in reviews and maybe some suggestions that I can put into my stories.

Chapter Six

The next few weeks after Rogue and Bobby's breakfast date were event filled for both of the teenagers. They both had classes and training taking up most of their time, but were also spending a lot more time in each others company. Quite often Bobby and Rogue would sneak off before or after classes to spend a little "quality time" together. If you would happen to find them in their hiding spots, you would probably find them getting a little physical together. Rogue was no longer afraid of hurting Bobby, and gratefully touched Bobby's skin every chance that she got. After such a long time not being able to touch another living being, it felt so good to her to be able to be that close to someone without the fear of hurting them. Rogue's training was also going well. When her powers had advanced faster than Professor Xavier expected, he had increased her training to two times per week. With the increase in training, Rogue was now able to make her skin like armor appear at will and no longer had to be scared or in dire circumstances for it to assert its self.

While Bobby had fun sneaking around with Rogue, he was starting to get tired of running around at all hours of the night and hiding their relationship from the other students. It was finally after three weeks of sneaking around, that he finally got up the courage to say something to Rogue hoping she would at least meet him halfway. They had met up in one of the hallways when Bobby finally said something. "Ah Rogue, could we talk for just a minute?" He said as Rogue pushed him into a corner and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Sure, what about?"

"Well, I was wondering if maybe you and I could talk about us." He tried to get out as Rogue played with his hair and nipped at his ears. She was having such an effect on him that just for a second he forgot about what he had wanted to talk about. He was so close to letting Rogue do what ever she wanted, but stopped himself and removed her arms from around his neck. "Wait!"

"What's the matter?" Rogue asked a little impatiently.

"Like I said I want to talk to you about what is going on with us right now."

"Well right now I am trying to suck your face, but if you've got something better in mind I might be game." She said with a smile.

Bobby gave a little laugh and spoke up saying "yeah, I could probably think of a few things too, but I want to talk seriously with you for a little bit."

"Okay." Rogue said and pouted as she leaned against the window sill that was across from them.

"Well you know how we have been sneaking around together, which has been great, but I am starting to get a little tired of having to lie to everyone." Bobby said a little scared of what she would say. "I would kind of like to have you and me no longer be a secret."

Rogue's head dropped to look at the floor when she heard what Bobby said. She secretly knew that this day was going to eventually come, but couldn't help wish that it would have arrived a little while later in the future. "Don't you like it just being us? I mean we don't have to worry about anyone judging us, and we can be alone."

"I totally love being with you, but with me being a guy, I want to be able to show off my hot girlfriend to my friends" Bobby said with a chuckle. "Think of it this way. Even though we are mutants, we always said we would try to live as normal lives as possible. Well, I think being in a relationship that other people know about is one way to act like normal teenagers."

As Bobby spoke, Rogue knew that he was right. She knew it would be fun to let all the other teenage mutant girls who had crushes on Bobby know that he was taken. With a smile on her face, she looked up and simply said "Ok".

Bobby was about to stream into another set of reasons why they should no longer hide their relationship, but was stopped by her simple reply. "What?" Was all he could say.

"I said ok. What did you think I was going to fight you on this?"

"Well actually, I thought maybe I was going to have to argue this with you for a little more." Bobby confessed. "So you really are ok with letting everyone know about your powers and us?"

"Yeah. Well I didn't even think about my powers coming to everyone's attention, but I think I am ready for everyone to know about us." Rogue answered as she stood up off of the window sill she was leaning on. "Let's start a new relationship out in the public."

"Oh wow, you don't know how happy you have made me. You have just made my day, or night." He said as he put his arms around her waist and pulled her into a big hug. He looked down at her face and saw that she was looking up at him with a smile that could match his on her face. He kissed her and felt the familiar shiver run down his spine that he got whenever he came near her. "So what are we going to do now. Are you just going to not wear your gloves anymore, or are we going to do it more subtle than that."

Rogue thought of the rumors that were going to circulate about them once everything came out in the open, and wished there was some other way to get the events that were about to happen over quickly. She was thinking about what she had to do the next day, when she remembered she had to get a birthday present for Kitty. Kitty was turning 16, and was having a huge party at the mansion to celebrate. It was then that Rogue realized she had the perfect plan as how to announce her and Bobby's news. "I've got it!"

"Got what?" Bobby said with a confused expression on his face.

"God men." Rogue said and shook her head at how clueless Bobby was. "You know how Kitty's birthday is this week? Well why don't we do a little announcement at the party."

"I get what you are saying, that's a good idea. You're so smart, I knew I liked you because of your brain."

"Great, because I thought this whole time you liked me for my body." Rogue said with a smile.

"Oh that definitely helps a lot, but you have the whole package my dear." Bobby said as he leaned in and kissed her. "So Thursday at the party you and I will get this whole thing over with and I guess bring on even more drama."

"Correct, but right now we are all alone and I can't possibly think of anything to do, what about you?" Rogue said and smiled with a little shrug of her shoulders. Bobby just smiled and kissed Rogue, hoping she was feeling as happy as he was.

Hello all. I totally meant to write, the party portion into this chapter, but it got late and I still had homework to do. I would like some suggestions from other readers as what songs I should have play at the party. My idea is to have Bobby and Rogue dancing together in a song without Rouge wearing any protective clothing. I want the song to be maybe a little provocative so they could maybe do a little dirty dancing. I was thinking about having Hot in Here by Nelly or Rock your Body by Justin Timberlake playing. There is also this great song by the Sneaker Pimps called Six Underground that I was thinking about using. What do you think? I would really appreciate a few suggestions!!!!
