Breakfast
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
-3 Doors Down
Rogue woke up her head pillowed on a man's chest. The power was still out so she couldn't tell what time it was but it was light outside. "Mornin'," Remy smiled down at her.
"What happened?"
"Remy's sorry ta say, not'in'. You fell asleep on Remy, petite." She sat up her brown hair rumpled and falling in her face.
"Ah should go."
Remy grinned at her nervousness and leaned back on his arms. "What's your hurry?"
"If Logan catches us he'll filet you," Rogue warned.
Remy winced at that reminder. "D'accord." He stretched lazily. "Meet Remy for breakfast?"
"Ah'll see ya downstairs."
"Give Remy a kiss." She smiled and leaned over kissing him on the cheek. "Dat was a cop out." She smirked and got up walking towards the door. "Love de view, ma chérie!" he called after her. She blushed walking away. She went into her room and saw the Jubilee was still in bed; Kitty however wasn't anywhere to be seen. Rogue got dressed and walked downstairs. She looked outside and saw that Pete's car was still parked out front.
"Huh," she said softly.
"Rogue," Remy called. She walked over and saw the other couple cuddled together on the couch.
"Awwe," Rogue smirked.
"Should we wake dem?"
"Nah, Kitty's not a mornin' person."
"Neither's Pete, dey do make a perfect couple." The two went into the kitchen. "Cereal?"
"That's about all we can make," Rogue shrugged lightly as she looked at the electric stove. Remy got out the bowls while Rogue grabbed a box of Captain Crunch and two spoons.
In the rec. room
Pete woke up and looked around himself. "Bloody hell." He looked down and saw Kitty still sleeping peacefully on his chest and smiled. He gently shook her shoulder. "Kit, luv?" She snuggled closer with a soft sigh. "Hey, grasshopper, I need t' go." Logan walked in heading towards the kitchen and looked between the two of them. "Wot?"
"Have you been here all night?" Logan asked.
"It morning?"
"Yes."
"Then yes, yes I have," Pete shrugged. He carefully maneuvered Kitty into his arms and stood lifting her up without waking her. "Damn, nothin' will wake her up. Me clothes clean?"
Logan shook his head. "The power's still not on. You can wear somethin' else of mine until it comes back on, or you go back home."
"Thanks, mate." Pete laid Kitty back on the couch unconsciously running a hand though her messy hair. He then followed Logan to his room to get a change of clothes. Pete got dressed as Logan went back to the kitchen. Pete quickly straightened his hair and went back to the rec. room. Kitty was still asleep. He shook his head. "I'm about ready to pour a glass of water on er."
Rogue smirked. "Can Ah watch?"
"I need coffee," Pete sighed.
"Ah called the electric company. Apparently they weren't concerned about us. They're gettin' to us after they fix all the other places."
"Bloody wonderful," Pete said rolling his eyes. "Don't you lot have a generator or somethin'?"
"We do," Rogue sighed. "It only powers the refrigerator and the med-lab." Ten minutes later Kitty came in, dressed and with her hair brushed. She looked at Pete and smiled.
"You're wearing jeans."
"Reluctantly," he said lighting up a cigarette.
"You look good."
"Thanks, luv," Pete smiled taking a drag off of his cigarette and watching her search for something to eat.
"Captain Crunch?" Rogue offered her the box.
"Thanks," Kitty smiled. She sat down next to Pete surprised when he put his cigarette out. Hank came in with a pot of coffee.
"You are a God," Pete said.
Hank looked at him raising his eyebrows. "I suppose that this means that you would like some."
"Please," Pete said surprising both Logan and Remy, politeness was something that the rumpled Englishman usually did not do. Hank poured each of the men a cup. Pete drained his in record time just as Jubilee and Bobby walked in.
"This sucks," Jubilee said. "There's no hot water."
"It's still raining," Amara sighed walking in. She sat down pouring herself a bowl of cereal. Sam walked in still in his pajamas.
"Mornin' y'all," he smiled. The others put their dishes in the dishwasher and went their separate ways. Logan went to the danger room for a work out. Rogue and Remy went back upstairs. Sam, Amara, Jubilee and Bobby were still eating. Kitty and Pete went back to the rec. room. Kitty smiled suddenly.
"Come with me," she said.
"I know that look," he said suspiciously.
"Don't you trust me?" she asked making her eyes big.
Pete chuckled and hugged her. "Not at all."
She hit his arm then pouted. "Okay, if that's what you want."
He pulled her close. "You have no idea of wot I want," he whispered in her ear. She blushed but hid her head against his chest to hide it. "So, where do ya want me t' go?"
"I can think of a couple places."
He chuckled. "Watch it, grasshopper, yer supposed t' be a good girl."
She poked him in the chest. "If I hear you say that one more time, Wisdom, I swear-"
He stepped back looking down at her. "Wot will you do?"
"I don't know but it'll be rash."
"I'm terrified, luv, really."
"I'm and getting really close to tackling you."
He grinned widely. "Please do."
"You, sir, are a complete pig."
"Thanks, I try."
"Now, will you follow me?"
"Anywhere," he smiled.
"That's sweet, but you're just trying to suck up."
"I do not suck up," he protested.
She rolled her eyes at that statement. "Okay, Pete."
