Glaring Decipher

Chapter Six:

"Is this gonna be a thing?" Rogue asked Magneto. He couldn't help but smirk as he turned from the board to face her. Once again they were the only two people in the room: the rest of the class departing a few moments prior.

"Would you like it be?" he asked easily.

"Maybe," she said as she moved to sit on one of the desks, facing him as he wondered what it would take to make her say yes. An old memory popped into his mind: a night he had stalked her from just outside her bedroom window last year: he could hear her faint voice moaning out the word 'yes' over and over again. He had looked in the window before he could stop himself and now the image of her touching herself haunted him. He longed to be the cause of those moans. Her reaction to his touch the other day had only incited his desire. No matter how much he tried to fight against the impulse, living here, he doubt he could control himself from at the very least seeking her out for conversation. "Magneto?" he heard Rogue ask: calling for his attention. His eyes snapped to her.

"I was lost in a thought," he explained.

"Obviously," Rogue smirked. He chuckled at that.

"Is there something else you would like to ask me?" he asked. He had promised to allow her to pick their topics.

"Did you mean what you say in class? That you plan on staying here a few years? Or were you just saying what you thought would get me to open up to you?" she asked. He had expected her to ask this question. There were a few ways he could approach it. Earlier, he had decided to attempt, what he believed would provoke the most powerful reaction from her.

"I meant it," he answered. "But given our history, I can't expect you to take that at face value," he said as he walked up to her. He watched her eyes widen for a second as he came up to her, but the quickly returned to normal as she sucked in a breath "I fear," he said as the front of his body lightly touched her legs, "that there is only one way, that you will believe me," he said as he took hold of her wrist and slipped the glove off of her hand. Her eyes locked with his. "Look for yourself," he told her darkly.

"You are such an ass," she said annoyed as she ripped her hand out of his and stood up. Shocked at her reaction, he barely notice as she grabbed the glove out of his and walked away from him. "How do you not get this yet?" she yelled at him.

"Excuse me?" he asked confused as he turned to look at her. She let out an irritated sigh as she put on her glove. Her narrowed eyes met his.

"When I said, that I know everything about everyone, that included you. Especially you, you dick," she yelled. "I know you, really fucking well. So, all of these little tactics you're trying out, to get a reaction out of me: all you're gonna get is me yelling at you pissed off," she said: her voice elevating in anger and volume with each and every word. "Apparently you need to hear it again, so, I'll say it again: I want to be friends, but in order for that to happen, you need to act like one," she screamed: her voice cracking with anger.

"I ain't Prof. I ain't gonna be blind to you saying one thing to my face and meaning something completely fucking different and laughing in your ass off about it. And I ain't gonna put up with it either. I will always know and call you out on your bullshit," she screamed: her eyes tearing with emotion. "I like talking to you. I miss talking to you," she said: a tone of regret behind her anger. His eyes widened with that last comment. When had they talked in the past? "FUCK," she screamed in anguish as broke eye comment. She hadn't meant to say that, he realized. He watched her close her eyes as she tried to take a breath. The girl was practically hyperventilating.

"Rogue," he said concerned as he took a step closer to her: putting his hand on her arm. She ripped her arm away from him as she opened her eyes and glared at him.

"Congratulations, your plan worked," she said mockingly. "You got me to tell you something, I wasn't planning to," she said bitterly. "Happy now, jackass?" she screamed. No, no, he wasn't. He watched her turn away from him and walked to the door. "Do not follow me," Rogue yelled firmly before she stormed out of the room: slamming the door behind her. "Fuck," he heard her scream again from the hall. He stood there for a long time as he absorbed all that she had said; replaying the conversation over and over again in his mind.

"Damn it," he yelled. "I owe her another apologize," he lamented.

Jahunta4974: Thank you so much! To answer your question, if someone will pick up on things, not yet, but you never know. Rogue WAS yelling pretty loudly there. We'll see

Sissiewest: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. My one fear of this fic was this was all going to seem too familiar/similar to their dynamic in Taunting. Your comment is making me think, I'm doing a good job of creating something a little new Thank you!

NCISprobie: Thank you! I'm glad you're finding it interesting! So, you asked for an escalation and while, I didn't intend for it to happen, the conversation turned to that very quickly! Don't you love that, when you write? The characters surprising you and the story/conversation going in a direction you didn't expect? ^.^ Can't wait for you to update and please let me know what you thought of this chapter?
