X-Emotion
Disclaimer:I own none of the characters, just the situations.
A/N: A few short stories, and I mean short. Perspectives and couples.
Staring out of a lightly frosted window, at a pale dawn, the X-Man known as 'Rogue' sighed. All that beauty and yet she couldn't touch it. She turned away and walked up the next flight of stairs. Pausing at the next window, she brushed her hair from her eyes. None of the others could understand. Not in the same way.
Rogue knew what it was like to be untouchable. She'd been that way since she could remember. Before then she didn't want to think about. After then she didn't want to think about. None of it ever made any sense to her.
She continued until she got to the roof and stood at the edge. Feeling a fresh wind caress her hair, she felt as ease again. Only strange moments could make her feel this way, other than that she had to be pummelling something.
"Liar..." Rogue muttered and grinned. One person made her feel that way, but she was touchable to him. Never out of reach. Even his powers had mutated into a way they could be together.
Sighing, she felt two hands press against her bare shoulders and a mouth on her neck. Closing her eyes, she thought of the irony.
"Chere?"
Rogue looked around and smiled. "Ah'm okay Remy. Ah j'st needed some air."
Nodding, Remy LeBeau, 'Gambit' smiled. "Y' know if I wake up t' an empty bed I'm gunna be worried, mon petite."
"Ah know Swamprat, Ah j'st lahke seein' y'all worked up."
Dropping his hand to hers, the couple watched the sunrise in silence. They were transfixed, each in their own reverie, and somehow still together.
The events that unfolded that morning were the first of many sunrises. Everyone pretended they didn't, even the pair themselves, but it was inevitable. eternally rising and setting, the sun was still constant, much as was the love of the two. There were ups and downs, but overall, they would always be there... together...
