The Tangled Web They Weave

Rogue sobbed quietly, tears flowing freely through her cupped hands, and twisted, curling down her palms and fingers as she flopped onto his bed. She cried freely into his off-white wife-beater, and twisted her ungloved hands into the sheets that curled 'round him.

He softly stroked her hair, the gentle touch only soothing her a bit.

"Darlin', Darlin'," he murmured, a deep, lulling sound in the deep ocean of tears. "What'd he do ta you now?" she sniffled her tears away, keeping her cheek firmly planted onto his stomach.

Her southern accent returned in her distress, "Ah can't love him, Wolvie!" she cried, regret lacing her words in a sorrowful way. "And he can't love me. He said so! Mah powers scare 'im, and he said if Ah can't control them better, he can't be with me!" His hand was still on her hair.

"But you do control them," he murmured, his voice so low and husky she thought she could drown in it, and only feel the soothing silk undercurrent. But his words were dangerous, so low, she thought for a moment that he wasn't going to stay to his vows.

It excited her, but she felt the crushing guilt lay itself upon her shoulders.

She looked up to him, and he laced her hand with his own, a merry twinkle in his eye. Scott had gone and Jean was there, and that's who he had chosen. But in that moment, she lay to rest, her feelings rising to surface. They bubbed and boiled, and simmered, but never they reached her eyes.

And as he leaned down upon her, to kiss her soft red lips, she did lay to rest all the doubts and fears that plagued her since that fateful day.

That Logan and Jean were wed.

-o-

A/N, Uh-oh! Wolvie's being unfaithful to Jean. I wonder what will happen. Ah, I'll let your imaginations fester away and plan everything for yourselves. You get to play out the scenes afterwards. This is only a one-shot.
