Roguechere- So glad you liked it. Couldn't handle the angst myself. LOL. Yeah, it's pretty funny how much he gets around. Thanks. :-)
LATE NIGHT
When Rogue woke up, she found herself laying down in a bed. It wasn't the most comfortable, but it was good enough. But she felt another presence in the room, so she opened her eyes and looked around. Her eyes found a pair of intensely, glowing ruby orbs staring at her through the darkness. She sat up, her eyes unwavering from his. He stood up from his seat in the shadows and stepped towards her. She smiled lightly at him and gestured for him to come over to her.
"Where are we?" he sat down on the edge of the bed, but his eyes did not leave hers.
"Mystique felt we should stop. Let ya rest, den we head out in da mornin'." she nodded. Then when he was about to stand up, on his way back to his seat in the shadows, she grabbed his hand. He turned to her and smiled.
"It be ok. Remy not leave ya chere. He just watch over you." But she refused to let go so he sat back down, closer to her this time. He carefully fingered one of her snow white streaks.
"What be wrong chere?" She cupped the side of his face with her ungloved hand, rubbing over the stubble, since he had not been able to shave today.
"Don't go." she whispered to him. He took that hand from his cheek and brought it down to his lips, trusting her to pull away if she needed to. Remy kissed the inside of her hand, not feeling the pull of her powers he smiled. He closed the space between them, laying his forehead upon hers, whispering back, "I never let ya out of my sight 'gain chere." Her eyes seemed to light up in joy, then he kissed her. It was tender but passionate, and neither one of them felt as if they could ever get enough of the other. They both pulled out of the kiss breathless. She laid herself back down on the bed and asked, "Remy?"
"Oui chere."
"Could ya stay here, with meh? Ah don't want'ta beh alone." He nodded understanding what she meant. He bent down and took his boots off, then stood up and took a deck of cards out of his coat before taking it off. He laid the coat at the end of the bed, and then placed the cards on the nightstand, within arms reached. He looked at her before laying down next to her, then carefully draped an arm over her waist. He was a bit taken back by how comfortable she seemed with him like this with her.
"Dis be ok chere?" Not totally believing that she might truly reciprocate his feelings for her. She turned over and placed her face into his chest and nodded into him, accompanied by a muffled, "Mmhmm."
But then he heard her mutter something else, and it puzzled him.
"What was dat?"
"Hmm?" she pulled back from his chest a little bit, and he already regretted asking, missing the warmth of her against him.
"What did you say chere?"
"Oh," she told him sleepily, "just-"
"Just what?"She suddenly looked wide awake.
"Quoi?" She smiled gently.
"Je t'aime." He smirked, replying with, "Je t'aime aussi." Then he leaned down and kissed her slowly at first, but then she put her hand in his hair and pulled him down deepening the kiss.
