Chapter Three
Pairing: Remy/Piotr... For Now
Rogue was making herself breakfast when she first heard the noises. She'd got up kinda early, just after six, so she figured it was just people waking up and showering. But it didn't take her long to note that showers didn't make those kinds of noises. Not the kinds of noises that sent a flush of pink to your cheeks and a flutter somewhere else. Not that she was listening, but she could make out Piotr's deep and throaty voice grunting rather dirty things... then she heard the other voice.
"Mmm, ooh, oui, oui, plus dûr, baise-toi... " That was when the flush of pink turned to a Warhol-esque scarlet and the 'elsewhere' flutter became a heartbeat in its own right. And she was very, very confused. She could just about handle Bobby dumping her when John came back from his sojourn with Magneto – after all, she wasn't stupid; it had been obvious they were in love. But the guy from New Orleans and Piotr? Was everyone going gay? When Remy and Piotr came down for breakfast half an hour later, she was leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee.
Keeping her eyes on them as they went about fixing eggs, she said nonchalantly (and rather smugly):
"Y'know, guys, you might wanna think about getting a room." They looked up, confused. "I mean, one that isn't right above the kitchen."
Remy was bored. Like, incredibly. Piotr had been an incredible amount of fun for a morning, with his hard muscular body and boyish naivety – but Remy had the attention span of a very short spanned thing, and soon after the less-than-amusing joke made by Vogue, was it? in the breakfast hall he was ready to move on.
"Bonsoir, mes jolis copains." He grinned, resisting the urge to steal one of the fine-looking bikes in the garage. As he left the mansion grounds, he flicked a glowing Ace of Spades over his shoulder, lighting a cigarette as it exploded over the lawn like a firework – a gift from Gambit.
Yes again, I know it was short – but I wanted to get to work on the sequel, which will hopefully have more graphic nookie etc. Suggestions?
