Okay, quite a busy one last chapter. I think I have actually picked an ending now, I had about seven in my head. There may be a sequel to this if enough people ask me nicely and have ritual sacrifices. Okay, so where were we? Oh, yes. Rogue had just advanced a little with her power. Iceman and Pyro had a run in and Kitty is standing around looking scared, I'm up to date.
Quick note: I have written the last three chapters and now this one in one day. I have only just gotten to the reviews and I have now learned, (thanks to my wonderful reviewers keep 'em comin') that Aurora Monroe is actually Ororo. It will be changed from here on out and I'll change it in the others when I have a spare minute. Thanks all.

Rogue held Bobby's hand and stroked his face, "Come on, please wake up please."
Bobby moaned in pain, but his eyes didn't open, "Rogue?"
"Yes, yes I'm here."
"Are you holding my hand?"
"Yes."
"Then why am I not dead?"
Bobby's eyes slid open and he stared into her face, "I . . .I . . .well, the Professor and Ororo and Scott, they decided to try and find a way to combat my mutation. They did. I wear something now and I don't . . .drain."
"Tell that to Pyro. Why didn't you tell me?"
"About the not draining or about the draining from a distance."
"Both, but number one more than two."
"Well I only did that thing to Pyro for the first time tonight. And I didn't know if it was right to tell you about the first one. Cause, you know, you moved on."
Bobby's answer was cut off by the arrival of Storm and Night crawler. Kitty stood there. She could see now. Ju had been right. Bobby still loved Rogue and Rogue still loved Bobby . . . well, why the hell hadn't they just said so? Bobby had been using her really and that hurt, but if had wanted to break up, sure she would have been disappointed but she wouldn't really have cared.
* * *
Bobby was sat up in bed. He was healing quickly thanks to Storm and his ability to keep his skin cool. But if his skin had been blistering all over, he wouldn't have cared. Rogue was able to touch people. He didn't know whether to hug her, or yell at her for not telling him straight away. He hadn't even had an opportunity to talk to her. She had been spirited away to the Professor as soon as she had told Storm what she had done. He really needed to talk to her. He needed to touch her, and tell her that he loved her.
* * *
Rogue sat in the Professor's office. She was oddly nervous. She hadn't done anything wrong and she knew that, but she was still nervous. "So, Professor. What do you think?"
The Professor smiled at her, "I know that saying I told you say is intensely childish, but I'm afraid I won't be able to resist. You have the power inside of you Rogue. You can make good use of it. You can make it work for the good. That's what we want you to do. We . . .I want to help you."
Rogue nodded, "I know, I just . . .I didn't want to believe that there may be more. More damage that I could do."
"That's the point Rogue, we're going to make sure that what you do isn't bad. You saved somebody and you didn't do any permanent damage to anyone else."
"I didn't?"
"No, John's fine. I know."
Rogue sighed in relief, "Oh. You don't know how much of a weight that is off of my back."
* * *
Bobby was pissed off, "Where is she? What is going on?"
Ororo took a deep breath, she didn't know how much Bobby had been told by Rogue and it wasn't her place to tell him anything that she didn't want him to know. "Look, I'm sure that she'll be back soon."
Bobby took a breath, "All right fine. Can I just . . .I want to get some sleep."
She nodded and left.
Bobby counted to twenty, grabbed his shirt and walked out of the room.
* * *
He hadn't gone ten paces and he almost ran into Kitty, before he could say anything she spoke, "Why did you do that? Why didn't you just be honest?"
Bobby tried to focus on the here and now, "What?"
"You asked me out."
Bobby was genuinely confused, "Yeah . . ."
"I don't appreciate being asked out by someone who's in love with someone else."
Bobby flushed, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean . . .I just wanted to get over her and well . . ."
Kitty's eyes flashed, "You thought that I'd be a good rebound girl?"
"I wouldn't put it quite like that."
"Well, that's how I would put it." Her face softened, "You two . . .your meant to be together. Now stop messing each other about, act your age and talk to her."
Bobby smiled to himself as she walked away. Yeah, Kitty was all right.
* * *
Rogue came out of the Professor's office. She was okay with that, it was probably going to be hard work, but that was okay. Her mind was still on her new training program when she heard someone saw her name, "Rogue."
She looked up and saw Bobby, "Hey. How're you feeling?"
Bobby looked down at the bandage on his arm as though he hadn't seen it before, "I'm okay. A little bit of pain, but it's okay. I wanted to talk to you."
"What about?" She was begging whichever God was listening.
"Well . . ." he walked another step towards her; "Well . . ." Bobby didn't hesitate, not any longer. He had wanted her for so long. He was sick of waiting. They deserved this. They deserved each other.
He quickly closed the distance between them; wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her body to him and kissed her. Rogue didn't hesitate either. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned as she felt his tongue touch her lip and she opened her mouth. She rubbed his back with her hands. She never wanted him to let her go, this is what she wanted forever. Him; nothing else. If she could have him in her life forever, she would never want anything else.
Bobby gripped her back. If he had his way he was never going to let her leave his side ever again. He massaged her tongue with his. God, he loved her. She was perfect. He knew that it was late and soon she would have to go to her room. He wasn't entirely sure that he could stand it if she did. He pulled away from her mouth and just crushed her body against his.
She tucked her head underneath his chin and trembled slightly as she touched his bare arms. She held him. She didn't want to leave him, but it was late.
"Rogue?"
"Hmm?"
"Stay with me tonight?"
"Are we allowed?"
"I don't care." Bobby took her hand. They walked together up to his room. "At least the plus side of John being gone is that I have my own room."
As soon as the door was shut, Bobby pulled her to him again. She moaned, touching him. Moaning as she felt him. For the first time today she could touch him and not be afraid. She ran her hand down his arm and felt him flinch at the burn. She pulled away, "Oh, God, are you okay?"
"Never felt better. Will you stay? Just stay?"
Rogue smiled, "Hell, yes."
Bobby pushed her shirt off her shoulders and then she pushed his t-shirt up and over his arms.
When they were both only clad in there underwear they climbed into the bed. She curled herself round his body and laid her head on his chest. "I love you."
He smiled down at her, "I love you too. So much."
He wrapped his arms over her as she traced patterns on his chest. She sighed, God she wanted this. She had wanted this for a very long time.
Bobby just kept running her hands over her arms. He didn't need anything else.
* * *
Rogue woke the next morning and she kept her eyes closed, when she opened them, it was all going to be another dream. Nothing could possibly be as perfect as this. He stirred underneath her and her eyes flew open. She lifted her head and stared at him as he woke, he was beautiful. He opened his eyes and looked at her, "Hey."
She smiled at him, "What time is it?"
He looked at his watch, "Eight twenty."
She groaned, "Does that mean we have to move?"
He pulled her up his body, "Not if you don't want to, we'll stay here all day if you want."
"Can we?"
He kissed her, "We've earned it."
Rogue kissed him, "Let's just stay here forever."
"Whatever. By the way, you never told me. What is it that you've got now to stop you draining?"
"I'll show you," Rogue climbed out of the bed and turned round. Bobby was having serious trouble focusing on anything other than her ass but he tried. There was a metal disk on her back.
"Wow. Does it hurt?"
"No. It doesn't really feel like anything."
"Quite frankly, I wouldn't care if it turns you green as long as I can touch you."
Rogue crawled back into bed, "I love you."
"I love you more."
* * *
They spent the whole day curled up on the bed, eating junk food that Bobby had stashed around the room. Just kissing and holding hands. It was the best day that either of them had ever had. Or at least it was until there was a knock on the door.
Rogue hid behind the door and Bobby opened it, it was Scott, "Hey Bobby, you haven't been in any of your lessons. It's not a problem I know that you've been injured, we just wanted to make sure that you were okay."
Bobby smiled, "Yeah, just a little bit rough. Should be fine for tomorrow."
Scott nodded, "I don't suppose you've seen Rogue have you? She hasn't been I lessons either."
Bobby shrugged, "Can't help you."
Scott nodded, "Okay, so long as you'll be there tomorrow, I won't tell you that you'd be better hiding Rogue somewhere where she isn't reflected in the mirror."
Bobby looked behind him in the mirror and could see Rogue. She waved at him and Scott in an embarrassed kind of way.
Scott waved back, "Just be back at classes tomorrow."
"Thanks"
* * *
"Can I stay tonight? I'll go and get clothing for tomorrow?"
Bobby moved and slipped his arms around her, "Took the words right out of my mouth."
* * *
Rogue was laid on Bobby's chest, just touching him. She ran her hand down his chest and over his stomach, to the line of his boxers. Bobby quivered underneath her hand, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"What?" She lifted her head and frowned in confusion.
"I have been wanting to touch you for like, ever and now you're torturing me."
Bobby was smiling but Rogue was serious, "I don't want to torture you. I want to be with you."
Bobby looked surprised, "Do you mean. . ?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Rogue cut him off with a kiss. She pressed her hands to his chest. After a second she slid her hand down and her fingers under the waistband of his shorts.
Bobby put his hands on her shoulders and gently pressed her away, "You don't have to do this . . .I mean I want to. But we don't have to."
She smiled up at him, "I want to. I want you."
Bobby didn't dare to breath. She wanted him? He pulled her up to meet his lips and kissed the breath out of her. She moaned against him gripping his shoulders and arm.
His fingers found the clasp of her bra and undid the strap as she pushed his shorts down his legs. Her panties followed and the held one another as they kissed passionately.
It didn't hurt as much as she thought it would, his eyes stayed fixed on hers as they made love. He stroked the side of her face and clutched her back.
Rogue gripped Bobby's shoulders hard enough to leave finger marks as she came down. Her eyes never left his until a few seconds later when he collapsed into her arms shaking, holding her tightly.
* * *
The next day was absolute torture for them both. He wanted to touch her and she wanted to touch him, apparently that wasn't going to happen. They kept looking at each other and smiling. She was going to ask the Professor tonight. If he said yes . . . Bobby was practically praying for a yes.
