Toxic

"With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic I'm slipping under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic"

-Britney Spears 'Toxic

"So let me get this straight, you love me and even more want to marry me?" Rogue asked the future Remy LeBeau.

"Oui ma chere" Rogue looked like she bit a lemon

"I aint your chere swamp-rat"

"I'm hurt chere"

"He really like looks hurt Rogue maybe you should like give him a chance?"

Rogue spun round to glare at Kitty "Shut it Kitty!" she snapped

"Chere calm down" the future Remy said placing his hand on her hand, she moved away from him.

"Swamp-rat if you care so much about Kitty ask her to marry you" Rogue sneered at him then stormed out the room. Leaving Remy staring after her.

"I didn't mean it like that chere" he called softly after her, she didn't hear.

"Like Remy" Kitty placed a hand on his arm in a similar way that him had done to Rogue seconds earlier.

"Rogue simply scared, boys normally pay her little to like no attention, and the only guy that does is a player, well present you and we was sure that what she feels for him like will go, and you prove they don't and she's scared, like scared to love anyone"

"I thought dis would be easy but Remy tink this is really gonna prove whether Rogue and I belong together, because ma chere's right, if I really love all of her den I should be able to love dis dimension Rogue to...chere aint de only one scared" he told Kitty sincerely.

"For like all the bitchy and mean things Rogue does or say for that matter she's my best friend, and you know how Rogue acts well the fact is she has the right too, after all she's been through" Kitty looked at the ground guiltily.

"Wat you mean Kitty Cat?" Remy lifted her cheek and made her look in his eyes "everyone who's a mutants has problems not just Rogue"

"Rogue got really angry at Jean once, said to her she didn't know what it like felt like to lose someone you loved, and like Jean said "Do you know how I got my power? I got it after like seeing my best friend hit my a car!" and we all were like really hocked and went to well like fuss and Jean, and Rogue snapped at her like you care that she died, we all like thought that was low even for Rogue so I like followed her to tell her off, and I like shouted at her you have no idea what Jean went through Rogue so don't like judge her"

Kitty took a deep breath.

"And she like interrupted me and shouted at me, "don't I? You have no idea what's like to wake up in the middle of the night from like Logan's nightmares or Magneto's or to see a girl you didn't know get hit my a car and killed and have it nearly destroy her, or see people hunting you calling you the Devil, or to see your parents being killed in a car crash, I don't like get only my problems Kitty I like have everyone's!"

"I never realized that like Rogue had to go through all our problems as well as her own, Remy in the end Rogue has gone through all we have and more"

"Remy tink he going to talk to ma chere"

"Be patient with her, please?"

"Of course Kitty Cat"

'How dare that Swamp-rat! Coming on to Kitty in front of me!' Rogue was sitting on the roof, head bowed between her legs, 'this has to be a joke, no one could love the untouchable'

Rogue froze an arm had just been swung across her shoulders, and a head buried it self in her shoulders she got ready to push the person away when thy spoke.

"I'm sorry chere" Remy? "I know this can't be easy for you but please try to make this work" I aint moving am I? "I do love you" I snorted "I do I love the chere in my dimension and that is you" I stand up.

"Swamp-rat I don't trust you" I walk to my window and just before I enter it I allow myself to add on to my last sentence "but I could learn to" I see his head shoot up, but I'm already gone.

I was telling the truth, I could learn to love him.

Present dimension Remy breathe in the cigarette between his lips.

'He didn't love' this guy, his future self went against his code, his way.

No, he had nearly loved Belladonna and look where that got him, working for a mad man and now the good side.

Sure he had nothing against the Rogue, in a way she was gorgeous just not in his way, he didn't really like the make up, but beside that she was...okay...he would admit if he could choose anyone to have a relationship with in the institute it would be her.

She was the only one who tried to resist his charm, she was the only one who talked back, and she was the only one he couldn't have.

But obviously he did have her, and more than that he loved her, he loved her, it went against his code.

But maybe, just maybe, tat girl was worth breaking his code.

Maybe.

'If chere catches me here I'm dead' Remy thought to himself as he watched Rogue sleep 'I really should go'

Remy was just about at the door when Rogue whimpered. Without realizing it Remy moved back to her body, and took her hand, enlacing his fingers with hers, she calmed down.

'It isn't fair' Remy felt the anger rising through him 'why would chere have to have everyone else's nightmares as well as her own.

Bending down he gently placed his lips upon hers and gave her a simple kiss, her first real kiss, he hoped. He wasn't aware of the wide eyes of Rogue's roommate watching him.

He stayed with Rogue till morning, leaving mere seconds before she awoke, before she awoke for once like she normally did in the future, peacefully.

Hope you like I know it short, so sue me, well actually don't know money you see.
