Remy PoV
He crawled quietly onto the roof top a few feet away from Rogue and was about to say something when he spotted tears sliding down her face.
Rogue? Crying?
Remy didn't think what Jean had said was that bad, but he had never really thought of the disadvantages to Rogue's powers. He had always wondered why she hadn't absorbed all the mutants and taken over the world, but he thought it was because she was a goody good lil X-geek.
Now he started to think about, she couldn't touch.
She couldn't ever feel the warmth of skin to skin contact, or feel the happiness of being a mother. She spent every minute of the day worrying about those around her and if she was covered up or not.
That would probably drive him insane. He remembered when his powers first manifested and he couldn't touch something with out it blowing up but that had only been for a few months. What would it be like not being able to touch your entire life?
Remy shivered at the thought. That's when realization hit him. She pushed every one away just so they wouldn't get hurt. She tried to make herself hated amongst the X-men and every one in general.
He looked at her this time really looked at her.
This girl was much more then met the eye.
She was so beautiful at that moment. The moonlight seemed to enhance her features making her skin pearly and glistening with tears. Her emerald eyes glowed in the darkness.
Beautiful, but sad.
Then she seemed to wake from her trance. Rogue looked up at the sky open mouthed, then after a few minutes she stood up to go.
That's when she spotted him and her eyes seemed to freeze him on spot.
He couldn't move, couldn't breath, those eyes. They seemed like endless emerald-.
No, that word wasn't even enough to describe them, they seemed so endless. So filled with sorrow and something else.
Dieu, he couldn't tear himself away from those soulful depths.
She got this 'aw' look on her face as she looked into his own eyes.
This confused him.
She had picked his eyes? Most girls only got that look when seeing his body or –but she was as lost in his eyes, as he had been in hers.
Most people thought his eyes were unnerving and unnatural that's why he wore sunglasses most of his life.
Rogue's mask then snapped into place again, she wiped away her tears quickly and threw a glare in his direction.
"What-er you doin here Cajun?" she asked coldly.
"Just came to see if a belle femme such as yourself is alright."
"Ah'm- …Wait whay would some Acolyte care?" Her eyes narrowed and pierced into his.
"Ahhh…." He grinned. "An Acolyte wouldn' care but Remy ain't an Acolyte no more."
Her eyes widened but then she caught herself and suspicion covered her face. "What yeh mean by that Swamp Rat?"
"Again wit da swamp rat business chere?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ah callim as Ah seeim Swamp Rat."
He rolled his eyes then sighed and decided not to fight her at the moment. "Well chere yeh lookin at the new X-geek."
Her jaw dropped in pure shock. "Wha would yeh wanna become an X-men?"
He had never really thought about it before this.
He just had told the other X-geeks that to get them off his back. Remy had never really meant it, yet when he told it to her, Remy some how felt he had to follow through.
He shook off the feeling it's notin he thought.
"Cause there's too many good lookin femme's here." He said with a wink.
She looked into his eyes again and he felt like she was lookin right through him, right through his flirtations and charm. Like she could see all the sins he commited and more.
She was actually serious.
He sighed and then finally said. "Well Remy mine-as-well, Magneto's gone and Remy's a mutant. Wit eyes like dis where else he gonna go."
Rogue looked away nodding as if thinking it over.
There was a long silence but Remy didn't feel uncomfortable in it, as he would with most of other girls.
"So you gonna be alright chere?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah Ah'm fine." She said slowly.
"Yeh didn' seem fine a few minutes ago." He stated.
Again she sent a glare his way that made his hair stand on end. "What were yeh doin spyin on meh!"
"Non, Remy just came to make sure the chere's alright."
"Mah names Rogue R-O-G-U-E Rogue it's not that hard to say I ain't 'non dear'. Got it!"
"Well chere calls Remy Swamp Rat. Da least he can do is return dah favor." Remy grinned. "So now we's both got pet names."
"Uhh!" Rogue moaned. "Can you turn every insult into a compliment?"
"Pretty much." He then added with a smirk. "Chere."
She rolled her eyes and started to climb down.
"Ah chere yeh gonna leave Remy all by his lonesome?"
"It looks 'dat' way bayou boy." She said with a grin and Remy's felt like he got his wind knocked out of him. She had the prettiest smile he had ever seen.
"Why don' yeh smile more often chere?" Her smile seemed to slip away and he regretted ever saying anything.
"just ta get yeh down swamp rat." She said but Remy sensed there was much more behind those words then Rogue let on. She then preceded to slide down the ladder as graceful as a cat.
"So yeh are tinkin a Remy." He said smirking once more.
"Onlah about how much painful Ah can make your death be." She growled as she landed on the ground.
"But your still tinkin of Remy!" He called as he made his way down the ladder.
Remy then felt a hard object hit his leg. "Ow! Now chere be nice to Remy. Of course if you ki-."
"Think Cajun, think real hard before yeh finish that sentence." She said cutting him off and he turned his head to see her throwing a large stone up and down in her hand.
So he decided to shut up for once in his life.
Rogue dropped the stone and gave a mock salute, then walked towards the door.
Oh no, he was not gonna be getting lost again. Remy jumped the few feet left and raced after Rogue.
Once he caught up, he offered his arm to her and said. "May Remy escort this belle fem-chere back to the dining hall."
She raised her right eyebrow and asked "Do yeh even know yah way back there?"
"Umm…..no." he admitted, then added. "but he could always use some directions from his belle chere."
She sent a glare his way that could've gave Cyclops deadly beams a run for their money.
"Ah. ain't. your. Anything. or anyone else's for that matter. Ah ain't owned by any one, remember that Cajun when your talking to meh!" She said frigidly, poking him in the chest as she went.
"Fine then Remy belong to you." He said rubbing the spot where she had poked him.
She rolled her eyes for about the fifth time that night. "Can you do me a favor Cajun?"
His twinkled, finally, he thought.
"Anything the chere wants of her Remy anything, anything at all." He said his voice swaying into a seductive lul.
"Ok, shut up."

Rogue PoV
She walked quietly towards her bedroom.
What was with that idiot?
Why did he even bother flirting with a girl he couldn't touch.
But her powers didn't seem to bother him at all. Ah mean even the people at the institute were cautious around her. But he treated her as if she didn't even have her powers.
That was so alien to her. She could hardly remember what that kind of treatment felt like any more.
Rogue sighed. She couldn't blame the other students for being cautious. If she were them she wouldn't come near herself either. But she hated feeling like an outsider in a mansion full of mutants.
Rogue walked into her room, sat down on her bed then picked up the book she had been reading. It was a small novel full of Edger Allen Poe's poems. She was really getting into them when Kitty came in.
"Oh Rogue, are you like ok?" She seemed really worried.
"Ah'm a big girl Kitty I'll get over it." Rogeu responded flatly.
"I mean Jean really didn't think about what she was saying when she said it, she was just really angry."
"Ah know Kitty Ah'm fine." Rogue said trying to get back into her book.
"Well you missed Logan's face when all three Acolytes said they would stay." Kitty said as she sat down in front of her mirror and took out her pony tail.
"Really?" Rogue asked in amazement. She hadn't really believed what Gambit had said until now.
"Yeah but the professor offered Piotr a ride in the X-jet he says he needs to attend to a few things in Tibet before he's ready to take on the full responsibilities of being an X-men. Not that it's that hard. But he says he wants to put all of his potential into it."
"Piotr?" Rogue said her eyebrows raised in surprise. Kitty was usually really shy and didn't call people she first met by their first name or if she did she added a Mr. or Mrs. in front of it. Rogue had, just a few months ago, gotten Kitty out of the habit of 'Mr. Logan'.
"Already on a first name basis are we?"
Kitty blushed as she brushed out some of the tangles in her hair. "Well he came down to get some supper as I was starting on the dishes and we got to talking, he really isn't that bad of a guy. It's strange he'd be working for a man like Magneto."
Rogue only nodded, she wasn't about to tell Kitty about the black mail.
If Piotr wanted her to know he'd tell her on his own.
Rogue had gotten good at keeping other people secrets.
Poor Piotr really wasn't a bad guy at all though.
