Disclaimer: crap I forgot the disclaimer on all the others, so I didn't own any of that either. I don't own x-men or "you'll be in my heart" by Phil Collins

A/N: I didn't know what to do so I was in major think mode for a few days and with every love song I heard on the radio or something I tried putting John and Rogue in it but I couldn't get it then I thought of something and I was like "brilliant!"

AA/N: This is a "if John didn't go with magneto" one. So its after X2 but John stayed with the x-men.

AAA/N: yea im sure you guys are sick of this but this will have some Bobby bashing, its nothing personal I don't have anything against Bobby, but John does!

So with out further adieu:

You'll be in my Heart:

John sat up in his bed, panting slightly, he shook his head his heart beat slowing down little by little. He put his hand to his forehead and then rubbed his eyes and turned his head to the side to look at the digital alarm clock on his nightstand, it read 1:23. He certainly knew it wasn't 1:23 in the afternoon and he moaned falling back onto his pillow. 'to early to get up.' he thought to himself. He stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours but when he looked back at the clock it was only 5 minutes later. He let out a frustrated sigh. 'Well, looks like im not going to sleep anytime soon.'

He sat up grabbing his lighter off the nightstand next to the digital clock, he never went anywhere without it. He went over to his dresser aside a wall and opened the top drawer grabbing an under shirt so he wouldn't walk around the institute shirtless, not like he cared it was inappropriate he just knew it got chilly at night in the hallways. He shoved his lighter into the pockets into his pajama pants and opened the door carefully, in order not to wake his sleeping roommate. He stepped out into the hallway where it was dead silent; it was kind of weird silence. John never liked the silence; he always tried to find a room where there was a lot of noise. In the rec-room where all the students hung out so it was always loud there, or stand outside the kitchen where Logan and either Storm, or Scott would be arguing. He got entertainment out of that one, he liked to hear what people were fighting about, sometimes –he thought- it was about something totally boring like what to teach or something but other times it was about something more personal. Like once he heard Scott and Logan yelling about Jean, which he didn't get because she was dead, but hell he found interest in it anyway.

He turned down a hall way, not really knowing where he was going at all, he was still a bit tired. As he passed a room he heard some cries and moans from inside and he stopped looking at the door curiously, thinking something was wrong with whoever was inside it and he smirked; He was gonna hear something personal. Then he recognized the door and the hallway he was in. 'Rogue' his smirk disappeared and he knocked on her door silently and with no answer cracked the door open a bit. He saw the light from the hallway creep into the room through the open door and as he opened it bigger almost the whole room illuminated and he saw Rogue curled up in her sheets letting out little cries every so often. He approached the bed quietly and kneeled down next to the bed resting his hand her side gently. She turned over feeling something touch her and she saw John's concerned face staring at her. "John?" she questioned sleepily. "What are you doing here? Did I wake you up?" she asked sitting up slightly, still leaning against her pillow.

"No," he shook his head "I was up, just wondering around, couldn't sleep."

She nodded silently.

"Are you ok? You were making noises in your sleep."

Rogue nodded, smiling slightly, "yea im fine John…just a nightmare."

He gave her a skeptical look, for some reason he didn't believe that, but soon lost it deciding to let it go…for now. She turned her head toward him and he noticed tear marks on her cheeks and her eyes were all red, he reached out and touched her cheek gently. She jumped back slightly, at the contact. "No, John I don't want to hurt you."

"You can't hurt me." He assured her, sounding sure of himself but still she removed his hand from her face quickly. He sighed, "Fine if it will make you happier." He opened the drawer of her nightstand and pulled out of one size all gloves and slipped them on his hands. He then took her hand out from out of the covers and took her hand in his. "better." She nodded numbly; looking down at John's gloved hand in her bare one.

Come stop your crying it will be alright

Just take my hand hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here don't you cry.

"Why were you crying?" John asked suddenly, which made her look over to him. She stared into his eyes silently for quite a while then she responded quickly, "I wasn't crying."

He smirked, "come on, im not dumb." With his free hand he brought it up to her cheek and right below her eye which was now glistening with unshed tears. "I…i…" she stuttered not knowing what to say, she really didn't want him to know she was crying. He finally got off the floor and sat down next to her on the bed, still holding one of her hands. "I'm fine."

He shook his head, "you know I know better than that." He moved closer to her and pulled her into him, wrapping his arms around her tightly, as she slowly but surely did the same.

For one so small,

You seem so strong,

My arms will hold you

Keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here don't you cry

He felt her shoulders starts heaving up and down, and knew she was crying and he didn't say anything just held her there. Then finally she started to sob and he just held her tighter, burying his face into her hair.

You'll be in my heart,

Yes you'll be in my heart,

From this day on,

Now and forever more

Finally she started to calm down and when he heard her stop sobbing he looked over to the clock and realized it was almost 2:00 in the morning. He was surprised he didn't know he was here that long, but that was probably because he didn't care, he would keep Rogue in his arms 24/7 if he had to. She pulled back from him, but his arms still remained lightly around her, and wiped her eyes and also wiped the tears off her cheeks and her neck. "I'm sorry." she laughed half heartedly.

"It's alright." He replied honestly.

You'll be in my heart,

Now matter what they say,

You'll be here in my heart, always.

"Now, what's making you cry like this?" he asked mostly concerned but he also wanted to know.

She sighed, "I guess…I'm not over Bobby breaking up with me yet."

Bobby. That name wanted to make him get up and fry his room mate into ashes so there was no more left of the ice dick. How dare he hurt her, if only he knew how much Rogue was hurting.

"Look you want me to fry his head off just give me the word." He said half serious reaching into his pocket to get his lighter. She laughed and shook her head, placing her hand over the one in his pocket. "No, John violence isn't necessary." She shook her head her smile fading, "me and bobby were just not meant to be."

He growled silently again at the name but then thought, 'hey wait why am I complaining, bobby doesn't belong with her because I do.'

"hey, everything will be ok, you'll get over him eventually… he doesn't deserve you anyway." She looked up at him and stared into his eyes, his chocolate brown eyes and remembered who in fact had stolen her heart the first time she came here. She knew she had to pull away before she got lost in his eyes, just sitting there staring like an idiot, but she couldn't find herself to pull her gaze away.

"Thank you, John." She said suddenly.

"For what?"

"For being there for me when I needed someone." She leaned her head against his shoulder, the sheets were around her shoulders and she completely forgot about her powers, John always had that effect on her. Whenever he was around, he wasn't afraid to touch her like most people would, and he would just make her feel like a normal person although she was far from it. The students used to look at them strange, if they were in the rec-room together alone without Bobby, they were kind of the best friends that hugged eachother and got close, so Rogue would be sitting next to John on the couch rather close together, closer than even Bobby would get to her. And the students would give looks, some of them because of the closeness of the two when rogue already had a boyfriend and others thought it was odd because Rogue was such a quiet, unsocial girl who just stood apart from everybody while John on the other hand was an outgoing, egotistical, cocky, sarcastic, jerk…Rogue had heard many people call him worse things than that too. But they both held strong feelings for eachother, that the other one didn't even know about.

Why can't they understand the way we feel

They just don't trust,

What they can't explain,

I know we're different but,

Deep inside us,

We're not that different at all.

He took a strand of her silver bangs and twirled it around his fingers a few times, staring into her eyes who stared back at him. "hey, you know I'd always be there for you." he said.

She nodded with a slight smile, "yea, I know." She pressed her face into Johns shoulder and felt his arm support her back to hold her up, she wasn't tired, not in the least for some reason she knew that she should be it was like two in the morning but she wasn't. She smiled to her self, it felt so right to be in his arms like this, Bobby held her like this, many times actually when she was down because of her powers he would take her on the couch and hold her like this but it didn't feel as right as being in John's arms. He was warm because of his mutation, his body heat was higher than normal but he wasn't sick it was just how he was. But as she rested against him it felt like she was sitting right near a fire place on a cold winter evening. She snuggled up to him more, she suddenly felt very chilly and she realized she was in short, short sleeves and only a thin sheet around her.

He looked down at her, and a small smile formed on his lips. He couldn't believe she was this close to him, without him persuading her or pulling her into his arms. She was here, and it was real, he was sure of it.

You'll be in my heart,

Yes you'll be in my heart,

From this day on,

Now and forever more.

Rogue also had something in her head telling it was wrong also, it felt so right but something was nagging at her that it was wrong. She told whatever it was that she was single now, she could be with John now. Well, it told her, what will wolverine think? I mean Johns a rebel, hes a jerk, do you think he'll want his 'daughter' to go out with someone like John? Then another part of her told her,

Don't listen to them

Cuz what do they know,

We need each other to have to hold,

They'll see in time, I know.

She agreed mentally, and told that little part of her to bug off and looked at John who, she didn't realize until just now, was staring at her with a sincere smile on his face. A rare John Allerdyce smile, now she knew why it was rare, because it was beautiful. It was something to never be expected on John Allerdyce but it was something to treasure once you saw it.

When destiny calls you,

You've got to be strong,

I may not be with you,

But you've got to hold on,

They'll see in time,

I know.

"John?" she asked suddenly.

"Hmm?" he answered, waiting for her to ask him something but instead she just picked up her head and kissed him. It was short, but sweet and she lay back down on his shoulder. She giggled at the look on his face; he was shocked to say the least. He looked baffled by it, like it was the last thing he saw coming, but he also had a look of happiness in his eyes and his lips were curved up in a smile so she knew he didn't mind it. He surprised her next by bringing his lips down to hers quickly, it was so sudden she was laying there with her eyes wide open for a few seconds then they started to drift close and she returned it sliding one arm around his neck. She was the one who pulled back as soon as she felt the pull of her powers, she looked up at him as they separated and they were still very close, she could feel his hot breath on her face. She opened her mouth like she was about to say something and she picked up her head again and put her head between his neck and his shoulder and whispered into his ear, "I…I love you."

Rogue heard no response from the Pyro maniac for a while, and she wondered if she should have told him her feeling about him. But if he didn't feel the same way why would he kiss her? Would John do that just to tease her? She really hoped not, she really hoped John was a better person than that. She became very nervous in his silence and she started to tense up, but still remained in his arms; she didn't want to come out and see his face. He must have felt her tension because he gently ran his hand up her back, which sent shivers down her spine and finally she heard his soft voice, "I love you too."

She let out a sigh of relief, then she realized what he said, he loved her too. She tore herself away from him and looked at his face which was shining now, something else you don't see on John. And she squealed as lowly as she possibly could in order not to wake anybody up and flung her arms around him, knocking him down. She lay on top of him, and he smiled up at her and she brought her lips down to his for a short kiss.

We'll show them together cuz

You'll be in my heart

Believe me, you'll be in my heart,

I'll be with you from this day on,

Now and forever more,

You'll be in my heart,

No matter what they say,

You'll be here in my heart,

Always.

She got off from on top of him and watched as he sat up. She suddenly felt tired, and she yawned. "Lie down." John told her quietly and she nodded, falling back onto the bed. She pulled the blanket down to the foot of the bed, but kept the sheet over her. She was laying with her back facing towards John, but she felt him lie down next to her, draping an arm over her. She took his hand in hers, and pressed it against her chest, where they both felt her heart beating. She closed her eyes trying to get as close to him as possible, and soon they both drifted off to sleep in each others arms.

Always,

I'll be with you,

I'll be there for you always,

Always and always,

Just look over your shoulder,

Just look over your shoulder,

Just look over your shoulder,

I'll be there, Always.
