NIGHT OUT
Aftah Ah left Logan's cabin, Ah high-tailed it back ta mah cabin and backed up anythin' worth takin' and quickly scribbled down a letter so no one would beh worried. Sure they'all figured he would probably pull somethin' like this, but Ah doubt they thought Ah would go with 'em. Ah just tell them Ah'm sorry, but that we would be back, Ah just don't know when and that Ah love 'em all. Ah meet him at the front gate and as we're walkin' Ah ask him where we're goin' and he just grunts at meh. Great way ta start a relationship, isn't it? So Ah decide ta pitch in flyin' since it would be faster and 'cause its dark, so nobody would see us and he just gives meh a dirty look and tells meh Ah talk too much. Fine, so Ah get the point, Ah don't say another word for the rest of the time. He's the one who wanted ta take off in the middle of the night and won't say where he's headed. It's not that Ah care, not like Ah got a better place ta be, but the least he could do is act like Ah'm here. This man is just so frustratin'. Well, we had been walkin' for awhile and it looks like it's maybe a few hours 'til sunrise. So he stirs us over ta a cave that is nearby, pretty big one at that, checks it out and then signals meh over ta him.
"We're gonna stay here for a little while, I don't like the smell of this place. Stay here and I'm
gonna go get some firewood."
After he leaves Ah decide ta take up talkin' ta myself as Ah pull out some blankets ta lay on the ground.
"Well Ah can't be too sure of the next time Ah can sleep, let alone nap with him 'round. Might
just try ta keep meh movin' all night, travelin' ta who knows where. What mess ya get yaself
inta this time Rogue?"
So Ah'm layin' there tryin' not ta fall asleep waitin' for Logan ta come back. It was a useless battle but Ah was relentless. Ah had ta keep watch ta make sure there weren't any problems. Mah eyes shut for what Ah thought was just a'second, and that second Ah noticed Ah opened them right quick. Ah thought Ah must beh crazy though, 'cause sittin' on the other side of a fire, starrin' right at meh was Logan.
"Logan-"
"Sshhh. Darlin' ya need your rest."
"Whay are ya sittin' all the way over there then? Ah know ya too well, got'cha in mah head
remembah. Ya'll need ya rest too. Healin' factor or not."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me."
"Logan, ya'll don't have ta worry 'bout hurtin' meh in the middle of the night, Ah can always just use ya healin' power, and Ah'm all covered up, so get ya sorry hide over here or else."
"Or else what?" Then there's that smirk Ah despise so much.
"Ya'll know Ah can make ya. Ah don't wanna 'cause Ah'm tired, but Ah will."
"Sounds like fun."
"Not when we're makin' a ton of noise and some people find us here and think they can take us
on."
"Like I said, darlin', sounds like fun."
"Not when we have some dead bodies in hear ta sleep next ta us. And Ah know how ya'll just
love that fresh scent of dead people."
"Alright, alright. I see your point."
So he walks up ta meh and lays down next ta meh. It was so comfortable, Ah fell asleep almost instantly. Ah must not have been asleep very long though 'cause when Ah woke up it was still pretty dark outside. But Ah couldn't help it, Logan was havin' a nightmare. After havin' access ta some of his memories and how he tends ta wake up from these, claws out and panicin', Ah decide ta intervene cautiously. So Ah nudge him while callin' out his name. Then Ah get up 'cause he looks like he's gonna lose it, just in his sleep. Ah don't need him freakin' out when he wakes up 'cause he inadvertently tried ta kill meh. So Ah fly up ta the roof of the cave and call out his name a couple more times. Ah feel so bad that Ah can't do anythin', but what can Ah do other than put him in a'coma?
Logan wakes up just like Ah said. But he doesn't take notice as ta where Ah am. Ah'm almost amused at how panicked he is when he can't find meh, then he starts sniffin' and looks up. Ah just smile and ask, "Ya alright, sugah?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. What are you doin' up there, darlin'?"
"Ah tried ta wake ya up, but Ah didn't want ya ta freak out 'cause ya accidently tried ta kill meh."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Yeah, but the question is if ya'll right?"
"Fine. Just fine. Why don't you come back down here?" There's that smirk again.
"Ah don't know if'n Ah can trust ya. Ya'll ever just smile sugah. That smirk is awfully scarry when Ah know ya'll plannin' somethin'."
"Then just stay up there then." Ah casually descend slowly and cautiously.
"Look, Ah'm sorry. Ah didn't mean anythin' by-" He caught meh by surprise and grabbed mah hips and dragged meh down onto the blankets with him. We are just layin' there starin' at each other like nothin' ever happened. He leans toward meh like he's gonna kiss meh when Ah stop him by puttin' mah hands on his chest.
"Logan, Ah can't." He looks so defeated and with a grunt turns over. Ah close mah eyes and tell him, "No, that's not what Ah meant. Ya'll know Ah have ta concentrate first sugah."
Then Ah just hear another grunt. Ah keep mah eyes closed and concentrate on shuttin' mah powers off and when Ah open them there he is with that smirk.
"So does that mean ya'll forgive meh, or were ya'll just playin' meh."
For the first time ever, Ah just see a real, full smile. Ah can't help but give one back, and then he kisses meh.
