Louisiana Rain
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the song…Actually, I don't own anything. (Cries)
A/N: This is my first attempt at a Romy y'all…please don't be too hard on me. It's based on the song "Georgia Rain". Also, some of it takes place when Remy and Rogue were younger, before their powers manifested. And when they're older, Rogue can control her powers.
Okay, we're just gonna pretend that Rogue lived near Remy, their powers manifested later, Remy never joined the Acolytes, and Rogue hasn't seen him since…
a/n: I took out most of the song lyrics out for fear of getting in trouble. But I did use some of the lyrics to separate the different scenes. Hope it's not too confusing...and sorry if it is.
...couldn't wash away what I felt for you that day...
Rogue was sitting in her room reading a book when she heard a tap on the window. She looked up, but there was no one there; in fact, she would have been more shocked if someone had been there…she was on the second floor, after all. She shrugged it off and went back to her book. But just as she was getting back into the story, she heard it again. Sighing, she got up, setting her book upside down on her bed to mark her page and headed over to the window. She looked down and saw a familiar figure standing off to the side, hidden by the shadow of the tree. She smiled, grabbed a jacket, and opened the window quietly.
Rogue was climbing down the ivy-covered lattice (a/n: I think that's what they're called…) as Remy stepped out of the shadows. He came up behind her and helped her the rest of the way down. She smiled at him and they gazed into each other's eyes for the longest time. He then placed a heated kiss on her lips, took her hand, and led her away from the house.
They walked a good way before they came upon Remy's truck. They both jumped into the truck and Remy took off; neither were sure of where they would end up, but at the same time, neither really cared. They drove for a long time before they came upon a dirt road that they'd never seen before. Remy shot a glance at Rogue, who in turn smirked, as he turned onto the forgotten road.
They had driven a long way out the road and it was pretty well deserted. Remy pulled off the road into a meadow with flowers everywhere. They both got out of the truck and decided to go exploring, ignoring the fact that it was raining. They returned not much later and Remy spread out a blanket in the bed of his truck. He then climbed on before helping Rogue up. She sighed as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. They spent a long while just staring at each other, getting lost in the other's eyes; Remy's mysterious red-on-black and Rogue's enchanting emerald. Rogue had managed to get lost in his gaze as he leaned in to steal a kiss.
...nothin' in our way, except for the Louisiana rain...
Rogue sat on her bed at the Institute, reminiscing about her past and all the lies that were her life. She couldn't believe that it had been five years since she moved to New York, leaving everything she'd ever known and cared about behind. A solitary teardrop rolled down her cheek, splashing onto the picture she held. She still remembered him and the way that he got her to sneak out to be with him. She had never told anyone about him or her past. They would never understand. Sometimes she really missed the fact that the rain was all that stood in her way.
...and I don't remember what was poundin' more, heart in my chest or the hood of that Ford...
Remy had just kissed Rogue again when lightning lit up the sky and the rain started to pour. They jumped off the back of the truck, blanket forgotten. They climbed into the back seat; both drenched from the rain. Rogue started shivering after a while and Remy put his arms around her. They gazed into each other's eyes once more before they shared a passionate kiss. After a while, Remy broke away and started kissing her neck sending her into compete bliss. Rogue was lost in his touch; she could feel the love radiating off him, as it was herself. She could feel her heart beating faster as Remy removed her shirt, the rain long forgotten.
...couldn't wash away, all the love we made...
Rogue could remember the first time they made love. It was the day that they drove out that dirt road to nowhere. She smiled, remembering all the love they shared for one another. But, it was the next day that her powers manifested. And she ran. Without so much as a goodbye. God he must hate me, she thought bitterly as she felt the tears coming.
Rogue closed her eyes as they fell onto her pale skin. This wasn't like her at all. She never cried. She hated being weak like this. She just couldn't understand how he could still get to her even though they've been apart for so long. It was times like these that she needed him the most…and that scared her.
...can't believe I'm back again, after all these years away...
Rogue looked up at the house she had once called home a mixture of hatred and sadness running through her. The Professor had persuaded her to visit her home after noticing how distraught she had been lately. So, against her better judgement, Rogue took off. And here she stood. Unable to move an inch. She never thought she'd see this place again.
Rogue decided to go for a drive, which resulted in her driving by his house. She noticed that it looked different than before; cleaner, friendlier perhaps. She wanted so badly to stop and see him. She parked on the opposite side of the road and just stared at the place for a long time. It started to rain after a while.
...couldn't wash away, the way I loved you to this day...
Rogue had finally got up enough nerve to go up to the place and knock. Once at the door, she paused for a moment, unable to believe what she was about to do. Ah can't just show up at his place after what Ah did…she thought miserably, turning to walk away.
"Chère?" A voice asked in disbelief from behind her. Rogue tensed up as she felt the familiar burning sensation in the corner of her eyes.
"Ah...Ah'm sorry Remy. Ah shouldn' o' came here." She said quietly without turning around, while trying to control her tears. Suddenly though, a pair of arms were wrapped around her and she couldn't hold it in any longer. She turned and cried into his chest.
"Why chère? Why ya leave Remy like dat? Remy loved ya, Rogue." He said, trying to hide his own tears.
"Ah'm so sorry." She said, breaking away and looking into his face for the first time in years. Their eyes met and once again they were lost to each other. He leaned down and kissed her with a passion that had been burning inside the both of them for five long years. "Ah love ya too." She whispered once he broke away.
"Don' ya ever do dat to Remy again." He said, holding her tight and staring into her eyes.
"Remy, Ah have a whole other life in New York. Ah can't just…" she stopped, looking away from him. She had done the exact same thing to him before. "Ah just can't." she whispered.
"Den Remy come wit' ya." He said, brushing a strand of white hair away from her face.
"Remy…"
"Marry me, chère." He said, pulling a small box out of one of his many pockets. She stared in disbelief as he opened the box revealing a beautiful silver ring with a nice sized diamond on it.
"Ah…Ah'd love to." She said through her tears as he slipped the ring onto her finger. She then threw her arms around him and he spun her around. "But how --" She began once he set her down, but he didn't let her finish.
"Remy been savin' dis for a rainy day, non?"
…the Louisiana rain…
A/N: Yeah, I know, that's probably not how it should have ended going along with the song…but I couldn't not have them together.
