Toxic
Okay future, different dimension Remy will be called Remy and present time Remy will be called Gambit.
"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"
Rogue slowly stumbled down the stairs for the Sunday morning breakfast, this was the only time the X-Men got to eat jump together, no new recruits, just the older kids, the X-Men and of course the Professor and the teachers.
Rogue dully aware of what she was doing pushed the door leading to the dining room open and entered, and immediately was wide-awake.
There were two places she could sit.
One next to Jean, who while was now smart enough not to talk to Rogue in the morning, would still talk across Rogue, to her side and what she would probably talk to people about would be her hair and. Her Hair.
And the other one was next to Kitty, which normally would be fine, except in the mornings, seeing Kitty had still not learnt that talking to her in the morning was a bad idea.
But through that wasn't her major problem, no her major problem was the fact that sitting next to either Jean or Kitty meant that she would have to sit next to one of the Cajun's.
Jean: The younger, and complete player LeBeau.
Kitty: The older, 'Marry me' LeBeau
"I think I'm goin'ta miss breakfast today" she muttered turning round planning to leave when suddenly a voice called her back.
"Chere!"
"Wat Swamp-rat?" Rogue knew her voice hinted annoyment. And she tried to ignore the fact he had dark rings under his eyes, like he hadn't slept all night.
She asked later.
"Chere Remy and Wolvie swap places and you sit next to Kitty"
Rogue raised an eyebrow wondering how the Cajun knew she didn't want to sit next to him or his younger self and even more how he knew that putting Logan on her side would stop Kitty from blabbering about Boys.
"Gumbo what makes you think I want to move?" Wolverine asked the Cajun.
"Well" the Cajun paused "if you want me and chere to play footies then you don't have to move..."
Before the Cajun finished his sentence Wolverine was standing behind him waiting for him to move off his chair.
"Remy thought so," he muttered going over to Logan's seat.
Gambit watched the interaction with interest.
"Swamp-rat" Rogue asked Remy later as he sat on the couch she walked over to him.
"Chere" a smile overtook his face at seeing her "wat can Remy do for you?"
"Spill it swamp-rat you haven't been sleeping"
"Chere" he was caught from guard "Remy only be there one night"
"And you didn't have them before" Rogue voice caught, as she suddenly came to her own conclusion "you were out last night weren't you?!" anger and sadness fuelled her voice "as soon as you're in a different dimension you cheat on me, her! I hate you!" she pulled back her hand and whacked him in the eye.
Remy looked at her in shock, then exited the room, Rogue sunk to the ground, tears threatening to fall.
"Stripes! What's wrong?" Logan rushed to her side.
"Remy had dark circles under his eyes, he spent the night out with some, whore! I'm sure, so much for loving me."
"Stripes" Logan said softly "he Gumbo ever actually says he was. Out"
"No, so?"
"He never left the institute, even more he spent all the night in your room, I know because I smelt him and I went to get him out but he was holding your hand, and it was the first time I've seen you not have a nightmare, even more stripes, I mentioned it to haft-pint this morning and she said, he kissed you Rogue, so somehow in the future you learn to touch"
"He was holding my hand the whole night?" Rogue gulped as Logan nodded; she forgot the touching part for the time being as she set off to find Remy.
Luckily Rogue found him in the kitchen putting some ice on his eye. Unlikely everyone else was in there as well 'and the new recruits as well' she thought sarcastically, flinching as all the girls, save Kitty, were trying to mother Remy.
Everyone was asking him who had done it and he wasn't talking. Gambit was certainly interested.
"Here" Rogue said to Remy grabbing the ice pack Jubilee had just taken off Amara ("I want to give it to Remy!") kneeling down in front of everyone, shocking then even more so as she placed the ice pack over his eye.
"Er sorry bout that" she said indicating with her free hand to his swollen black eye.
"You did it?!" Jubilee cried at Rogue, everyone looked sursrised they didn't know Rogue hated Remy that much.
Ignoring Jubilee Remy spoke "excuse Remy for asking Rogue but why are you helping him"
Rogue flinched at the hardness in his voice "I really hurt you didn't I?"
"Of course you did...!" Jubilee shouts faded into the background, as they looked each other in the eye.
"Chere wat you care?" he looked towards the ground.
"Do. Do you hate me?"
"Wat?!" His head snapped up and he noticed the tiny making of a tear in her eyes. "Chere, don't cry, please?"
A tear leaked out her eye and down her pale cheek where Remy promptly wiped it away.
"Remy I aint good at sayin' sorrah, but I am Logan told me you were with me last night, and you kept my nightmares away, t'anks"
"Chere you should know Remy loves you"
"No sugah I don't" she looked around the room now realizing everyone had heard their convocation, but continues anyway "but I'm willing to learn"
Leaning forward quick as a flash so no one but Remy knew t had happened she kissed him on the cheek, smiling shyly she left the room.
A few seconds later they all heard a door slam Rogue was back.
You like? Then tell me.
Now Rogue my no means loves him, she barely likes him at this stage, but she knows when to say she sorry.
Peace215: Gambit at the moment is very confused more than he lets on, but once he gets over his confusion, sparks will fly...yeah it was Scott who snorted. Road runner! Well you certainly gave me someone who will be easy to be faster than.
Rogue14: Great? Not to sure bout that!
HotaruleBeau: Thanks!
Enfant-terrible: Amazing story...I don't think I'm ever going to be THAT good.
Roguewannabe29: I don't exactly like Jean either, nor in the comics, but that just because I think the Phoenix saga is overrated but that's just me.
Ishandahaft: Actually as everyone can tell she will fall hard for future Remy, and he will leave in the end for his own time, but I know what's going to happen to Rogue...
Sickmindedsucker: Yeah old cartoon Remy mostly but I also based him mainly on this picture of Remy I found, I'll try to find it and then put a link up next update. Can you tell me please who you've seen mix future and present X-Men together, I'll really like to read it!
TruleyRogue: Thanks; it's nice to know you like my stories, WOW that is shocking...
Thanks everyone else as well.
Hugs
