Disclaimer: Don't sue, don't own the X-men, just like to write about them. Also I borrowed a line out of one of my favorite songs, 'Texas' by Unloco. Because it fit how Rogue was feeling.
Slowly he reached across the table and scoped up my hand in his. I could feel the heat radiate through my glove and it captivated me. With every fiber of my being, I craved more than I was allowed.
He looked at me with such care in his eyes and I'm so lost for words, so lost to tell him how I feel. I'm so terrified of changing what I thought was real.
A bell pierced through the clamor of voices and my thoughts. Hastily students picked up their belongings and scattered toward the door. Then there was silence, and Bobby and I.
"I guess it's time to go." I stated pulling my hand away.
Bobby wrapped up our conversation as we arrived at my classroom.
"Well… I'll see you after class Rogue." He glanced at his watch. "Yah I got to get going. If I'm late for Storm's class again, she'll electrocute me." Bobby turned halfway down the hall and waved.
I tapped the end of my pencil steadily with rhythm of the clock's second hand. The day seemed to stretch on with no end as I yawned once again.
"After you guys are done taking notes, you may leave," stated Hank relaxing against his desk.
In a daze I made my way out of class.
Bobby tugged on my book bag. "Hey there speed demon, slow down."
"Sorry I guess I was just out of it."
"So did you enjoy your first day?"
"It was good till I found out I was in calculus, then it went downhill from there," I sighed loudly stretching my arms.
"Ouch, I'm sorry," Bobby replied running a hand through his hair. "I was thinking if you aren't busy, I'd like to show you around the institute and perhaps get something to eat."
"Like a date?" I asked serenely.
"Yah like a date," Bobby answered pushing his hands deep into his pants pockets. He looked up at me for a response when I remained silent.
