How's our story?
Lance paced back and forth outside of Kitty's room. He cleared his throat, "Kitty, I want you to know I'm concerned about you, your behavior has been a bit outlandish...Outlandish? Where'd I learn that word?" He went back into his train of thought, out loud. "Kitty, I want you to know, that whatever Pete did to you, I think it's horrible..was it horrible? I dunno...aahheem, I wanted to tell you, that you can always come to me, if you want to talk, if I want to talk, if you want to talk about anything, about us, about how much I ...no, no, shut up Lance!"
"Ya, shutt up Lance!" Rogue stood behind him with an amused look on her face. She was trying not to smile to big.
Lance mouth dropped, and his cheeks turned red. "How long have you been.." "Long enough ta see tha our boy stil has som issues ta sort out." She shook her head. "Ave you bin in luve with Kit all this time?" Her expression was almost quizzical. Lance just stood there beet red. She grinned. "Lance is n luve! Lance is n luve!" She began singing mockingly.
Lance expression changed to that of horror. Grabbing her own hand he forced it over her mouth and dragged her to the closest room, other than Kitty's.
"Shhhhh!" He whispered angrily. "If I wanted her to know, I tell her! Not have you yell it up and down the hallway! Gosh! Why don't you just hang up a banner or something!"
"Now tha's an idea! Maybe I shou.." Rogue put her finger to her chin thoughtfully. Making Lance even more upset.
"Look, Rogue, okay, I am not 'in love' with Kitty. I got over that a long time ago. I just simply was, was thinking about how it used to be. I relived the past for a moment, bug deal, I not in love with her and that's that!" He said firmly.
Rogue smiled and crossed her arms. "Really?"
Lance nodded. "Yes really."
"Than tell me this, why is it tha up until recently, you've neva had a girlfriend for longer than a week, huh? An remember when ya heard she got married? Ya tried a tell me ya had dust in yur eyes? Ya, really? An the first day she got back? Wha did you do? You stayed in yur room till Xavier made us all come an greet her? Was it really that difficult?"
"Well, I."
"An what about the time she sent us thos pictures from her trip to Spain? Tell me, Lance, what happened ta tha one of her holding a rose in her mouth?"
Lance scratched his head, "I'm sure it's around.."
"Really? An my favorite, wha did you do with tha video of the pool party befor she left, or is that with the last picture of her."
"Okay Rogue!" Lance cut in abruptly. "Fine! I see you have, a mild point."
She frowned. "'a' point?"
"Okay, a couple points...but none of that matters now Rogue. I'm completely happy just being her friend. Sure, maybe while I was single and she was married, it was a hard battle to fight, but I-I'm happy now. Very happy."
Rogue let out an annoyed sigh. "Somethin tells me this is wroung."
"Whats wrong?" Lance asked puzzled.
Rogue turned and looked at him, pointing a finger. "You Lance. Yur wroung. Now yur gonna tell me tha you don't care about Kitty. Yur gonna tell me ta not say anything! Preten like I didn't hear wha you slipped an said. Yur gonna ask me ta lie ta the one person thas neva lied ta me." Rogue looked at him pleadingly. "An then yur gonna lie, ta yourself, ta Kitty, and worst of all, ta Amara. She has nothing ta do with this, an she don even know. You sure you wanna hurt her too?"
Lance put his hands on Rogues shoulders, and she looked down. "Rogue, look at me." Rogue waited a moment than reluctantly looked up at him. "I care very much for Amara, she's done nothing but try to make me happy. I would never do anything to hurt her. And when she returns from visiting her parents, I'll talk with her, before she even knows Kitty's back. As for you, yes, I'm going to ask you, not to lie, just please, don't say anything to Kitty. Our love died a long time ago. I have no plans of hurting her again. I would sooner die, before I do that."
Rogue put her head down. She knew.....she knew in her heart that it was a mistake, that something bad would come of this, but she didn't have much of a choice.
Looking up at Lance, she half smiled. "Ah know, ah know Lance.ma lips are sealed."
