Chapter 18- A Little Bit Of Romance
Remy groaned as another wave of pain crashed over his body. Every part of his body felt like it was on fire and every noise made the pounding in his head worse. It was constantly thumping and the noise of the sewers echoed in his head. Whenever he tried to move it caused even more pain to shoot through him. With enormous effort he managed to pry his eyes open and they met with a pair of emerald eyes full of pain.
He frowned inwardly as thoughts began crossing his mind. The last thing he remembered was being knocked out by Sabretooth and then everything went dark. He suddenly sat up as images of how badly they were losing flashed through his mind. He grimaced as he muscles screamed in protest at the sudden movement. Remy noticed a concerned look pass over the girls face.
"Rogue?"
"Ah'm here Remy," Rogue whispered soothingly.
"Chere!"
Ignoring the pain, Remy flung his arms around Rogue. He had been so worried about her after she had been carried off from the battle. He rested his cheek on top of Rogue's head and gently inhaled her scent. He'd had plenty of girlfriends but he'd never experienced anything like he was feeling for Rogue.
"What happened? Remy saw Magneto capture ya but before Remy could get to ya Sabretooth knocked me out."
"He... was going to…" a tear crept down Rogue's face. "He was going to force meh to absorb lots of mutants."
Rogue buried her face in Remy's chest and broke down. Remy gently ran a hand across her back in an attempt to calm Rogue down. It broke his heart to see Rogue like this. Eventually Rogue managed to fall asleep against Remy.
Remy sighed as he felt Rogue's body go limp in his arms. He gently laid her on the pile of blankets that served as the bed he had been reading. Remy gently brushed away a stray piece of hair from Rogues face. He quickly placed a kiss on her cheek. It was so quick her powers didn't have time to react.
"Remy loves you Rogue." Remy whispered and left to look around.
"Ah love you too swamp rat." Rogue murmured.
