Wandering Souls
Chapter 13: Secrets, Movies & Food Part 2
Rogue sat curled up in a large wingback chair in the corner, watching Pitch Black with her friends. She should have been happy. It was one of her favorite movies and she was with her friends, but she just couldn't get into it, and then she saw why. Remy walked into the room and sank down into a large overstuffed armchair, a sad and defeated look in his demon eyes.
Rogue wanted to cry but refused. She had cried enough in her life and she'd promised herself never again. It was a moment before she felt him starring at her. She looked up and their eyes met and for a brief instant she debated on walking over and curling up in his arms, letting him take away all the pain and confusion that was running in her mind. 'No, Ah'll jus hurt him,' she thought sadly, turning quickly back to the movie.
"Damn Rogue, you have great taste," Wanda commented, her eyes glued to the screen as Vin Diesel dislocated his shoulders. "He even makes that look good."
"HEY!" Evan said putting down his milk. "I'm sitting right here!"
"I know that," Wanda stated leaning back against his chest, resting her hands on his knees. The two had piled up on the floor, Evan leaning against the couch and pulling Wanda between his lets as she leaned against him, using his chest for a pillow. "You're comfortable," Wanda added grabbing a handful of popcorn and throwing it into her mouth.
"I don't know why you guys like him anyway," Jubilee stated curled up on the couch snuggled next to Piotr. "He's not even that built."
"Yeah, not to, like, you maybe," Kitty said munching on a Twinkie. She was lying on the floor next to Kurt on her stomach, her legs crossed in the air behind her back. Kurt sat with his image inducer off again, one knee pulled up towards his chest with his arm resting over it as he munched on a cupcake with his tail.
Rogue looked over at the other two couples and felt the urge to run to Remy again. Amara sat on the loveseat with Johns head in her lap as he sprawled out next to her, his legs dangling over the edge. She had one hand resting on his chest as the two watched the movie intently, both for different reasons.
On the other side of the couch from Jubilee and Piotr sat Scott and Jean, his arm around her shoulders as her hand rested on his knee, a small bowl of popcorn between them.
Life wasn't fair. Why couldn't she have that? She stole a glance over at Remy who sat idly watching the movie, no sign of enjoyment in his eyes. She let out a small sigh and lost herself in her thoughts. It wasn't till Kitty got up to put in the next DVD that she stirred from her inner conflict.
"God he's hot," Amara said stretching.
"What?" John shot up and looked at her shocked.
"He's hot, but you're hotter," Amara smiled and leaned over kissing him softly.
"I don't know about that. He was pretty hot," Jean stated matter-of-factly. Every burst into giggles at the look of shock on Scott's face.
"Defiantly," Kitty agreed popping in the next movie.
"Vhat makes him so great?" Kurt asked defensively. "Can he do zis?" Kurt then disappeared with a loud BAMPF and reappeared on the back of Rouges chair.
"He don't need ta sugah," Rogue stated stretching and smiling up at the blue elf. "Look at his arms? He could break ya lahke a twig."
"Remy could take de homme," Remy said suddenly, jealousy in his eyes.
"I'd love to see that fight," Wanda said readjusting slightly in Evan's arms.
"Whatever guys," Kitty said pressing play as 10 Things I Hate About You popped onto the screen. All the guys let out a collective groan
"Oh come on! This is so gay!" Evan stated chugging the rest of his milk.
"Yeah come on mates this movie sucks," John began rising to change the disc when Amara grabbed his arm and pulled him back onto the couch.
"I like this movie," she stated, giving him a hard look.
"Fine! The things I do for you Shelia!" John huffed as he sank back into her lap, an angry frown on his face.
Rogue just chuckled as she once again turned to her thoughts. Listening to the guys occasional comments. Before she knew it the movie was over and everyone was getting up for more snacks and bathroom breaks before starting the next two movies. Rogue looked around, pulling herself from her daze and realizing that only her and Remy were left in the room. She looked up at him and then quickly looked back at her gloved hands when their eyes met.
"What be troubling y' Cherie?" Remy finally asked unable to figure it out on his own. "What Remy do to make y' so mad?"
"Nothin' Rems!" Rogue said quickly looking up at him. "It's not ya I swear, it's jus…" she looked back to her gloves.
"What Roguey?" He asked rising from the chair and walking over to her, kneeling before her chair and placing his gloved fingers under her chin and forcing her to look at him. "Y'know y' can tell Remy anything."
"Ya deserve bettah," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
"What?" Remy asked startled. "Where y' get dat idea?"
"It's true," she looked up, her emerald eyes looking into his demon ones. "Ya deserves someone who can give ya everything. Ah can't even hold yer hand! Eventually you'll want someone ya can touch and then you'll break mah heart."
"Never mon amore!" Remy cupped her cheek in his hand. "And I be touchin y' now. And anything else, we find a way when de time be right. Cherie, I'd rather die den hurt y'." He stroked his finger over her cheekbone smiling at her.
"Ah don't deserve ya Swamp Rat," Rogue cooed letting all her doubts slip away for now.
"Non Cherie, y' deserve a lot better," he chuckled. "Remy just glad ya settle fer him. Now will y' come sit next to Remy?" the others had begun to return to the room, bowls and trays full.
"Yeah, go sit down, Ah gotta run to the bathroom and Ah'll be back," she smiled at him as they both rose, Remy taking her hand in his and kissing it.
"Hurry back Cherie," he whispered as he returned to his chair as she rushed out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remy looked down at his watch. It had been over fifteen minutes since Rogue had went to the bathroom and she still wasn't back. The others had started the movie and were busy watching Dracula. He sighed and looked at his watch again. He should go check on her. He was so busy examining his watch he never heard the door open and Rogue's socked feet sneak up behind the chair. She smiled and leaned over the back, whispering into his ear, "Miss me sugah?"
He spun around to see her standing there, in a pair of hunter green pajamas that hugged her in all the right places and black gloves. "Y' had Remy worried," he whispered back as she walked around to the front of the chair and crawled into his lap, resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and heard her sigh contentedly as he kissed the top of her head.
"Thought Ah'd get more comfortable," she smiled as she began watching the movie.
"Oh? Remy be more comfortable den dat chair non?"
"Just a bit Swamp Rat," Rogue smiled as she snuggled down into his embrace. "Ah'm sorry Ah was so mean earlier."
"All forgiven Cherie," Remy whispered into her hair as he kissed closer to her temple.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That movie vas awesome!" Kurt exclaimed as Kitty put on the last movie.
"Yeah, Dracula was like so hot. And so is Danny," Kitty turned and noticed Rogue and Remy, asleep in the armchair. "Oh, like, they're so sweet!" she whispered causing all the others to look.
Remy sat in the chair, his legs propped up on the coffee table with Rogue curled up against his chest, her head resting on his shoulder. Their breathing simultaneous.
"They are sweet," Amara said as she looked towards the others. "It's getting late, maybe we should watch the other movie tomorrow?"
"Sounds good to me," Wanda said as she pushed herself up off of Evan and turned around smiling at him. "Besides, we have class in the morning," she held out her hand and Evan took it, pushing himself up most of the way.
"Whose gonna wake them?" Jubilee asked as the others started to get up, tired expressions on their faces as they started towards their rooms.
"I'll take care of it," Logan's gruff voice answered causing everyone to freeze in the room.
"Like, don't kill them Mr. Logan," Kitty pleaded.
"Don't worry about it Half-Pint," Logan replied as they all rushed out of the room. He walked over to his daughter and looked down at her. She looked so content in the Cajuns arms, he hated to wake her. But he wasn't too fond of Gumbo's arms around his little girl either.
"Wake up bub," he growled shaking Remy forcefully.
"Mon Dieu," Remy replied groggily as he woke up, trying not to disturb his sleeping Rogue. "It not be what y' think."
"Save it Gumbo. Just take her up to bed will ya? And make sure you make it back to your own." Logan replied gruffly as he exited the room going back up to Ororo mumbling about noisy kids and grabby Cajuns.
Remy let out a sigh and rose, taking Rogue gently with him, cradling her against his chest as he made his way towards the stairs. He stopped before her door and opened it, the other girls were busy turning down their beds and looked up at him.
"Is she, like, still asleep?" Kitty whispered.
Remy nodded and made his way towards Rogue's bed as Wanda made the sheets turn down. "Thank y' patie," Remy whispered as he lowered Rogue under the covers and pulled them about her. He pulled up the sheet and kissed her lips lightly. Rogue let out a small whimper as Remy rose to leave. He leaned over and kissed her head again. "Don't worry Cherie, Remy see y' in de morning."
The girls watched him rise and walk out of the room, saluting them before he closed the door.
"Wow, I, like so envy her," Kitty stated.
Wanda and Amara just nodded in agreement before climbing into bed and shutting off the lights.
Authors Note: Sorry it took so long to get up but I hope it was worth the wait. I'm pretty sure this is just going to be mostly fluff. (I love fluff.) But for those of you wanting a more Bitchier Rogue, don't worry. PMS still exists. Besides, I figure Remy's got enough problems with Logan being her dad, he doesn't need problems with her too. Once again thanks to the reviewers and onto the shout outs.
cool-chick-rae ~ hope I didn't disappoint you with this chapter. I tried to add some humor, but I wasn't all to sure what the guys would say and I just had to get to the end so I can work on the school scene in the next chapter. Thanks for the review.
Ishandahalf ~ I don't know if I was trying to make you drool but I sure as hell was making me drool. Especially over Vin. Anyway, glad you liked it and don't worry, Rogue is over it. As Cordy would say on Buffy, she spanked her inner moppet and moved on. And ended with some Romy. Hehe, I love fluff don't you?
LuluDucky ~ I see what ya mean by the "love yous" but I wanted them to have that strong bond thing going on. Thanks for your review.
Denial ~ He helped deal. I couldn't let her stay mad at him, cause I want the fluff as bad as everyone else. Believe me when I say this will be chock full of mush, especially once I figure out how they'll be able to touch. (Still trying to think on that one.) And don't worry about the Brotherhood, they'll appear next chapter and I also have plans for Mystique soon.
ViCkY101 ~ Sorry not a lot of chaos. I'm tired. But don't worry, I will fix that in later chapters. And I did throw in a little angry Logan just for you.
Invader ZaiFae ~ don't know if this chapter was as funny but don't worry. I can't not be sarcastic for very long (I get hives and go through withdrawls) so there will be a lot more humor later on. Vin is unbelievably hot and plastered around my room. Oh, and I live in a wonderful little fantasy world where he's not gay so let's not burst my bubble too bad. My whole graduating class thought I was crazy so it's all good. Makes you unique and special. At least that's what people always told me. Glad you liked the story. Hope the trend continues. Thanks for the review.
Kikimihori ~ you're reading my mind! Now I just have to decide how to make that possible. I'm just glad I made you proud. It makes me want to cry. ::tear:: Okay, now I'm getting emotional. Thanks for the review.
And again, to all those I didn't get a chance to answer, thank you all. I really appreciate it You're all great and keep me going.
