(Pov of Rogue a week after the shot)
I walk out of the hospital with a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt that Jared got for me. He stands next to me as we head for the bus stop. The Doc said that the rib had healed nicely but I'm on medical leave from work and any work that makes me use my upperbody strength. My quiet breakdown in the hospital is and will reamian unknown. It had changed me and the shot, I didn't take pride in being shot but at least that I would have died in the right line of work. The bus pulled up to the curb. When I first rode the bus I thought how weird it was, but know when I see the bright blue bus pull up to pick me up I feel natural in it. I walk into the bus and sit in a fox sized seat, Jared sat ahead of me in a wolf seat. The only thing I could wounder was, how was the squad without me for the last week? I didn't even want to ask who was to replace me till I'm in fighting condition. It was going to be a long ride from the edge of Tundra Town to the other side of Savanna Central near the Rainforest District. As the bus pulled away from the curb and started it's loop till me and Jared had to get of at the transfer station, which was a good seven to eight stops before then so I just leaned back and decided to take a nap till then.
(one hour later Pov of Jared)
It's been like five stops since we left the hospital and that damned transfer station isn't in sight. I look over my shoulder and look at Rogue as he quietly sleeps. For the past week me, Jeffery, Johnathan, and Coraline had to deal with a sub for Rogue who was really shitty for a comander for a swat unit, and apparently the men that took the bank hostage was organized to a T. because Judy that bunny cop and Nick her partner had found evidence of a large group behind this and are currently conducting a investagation on it. I smile that at least that he is enjoying himself. Me and the other boys took him being hospitalized ok but ... Coraline took it hard, I could tell by how she was when we followed the ambulance. Just so shacken and distroyed by it. I look ahead of me to see the transfer station. I look back at Rogue and wake him up.
"hey Rogue we're here", he sturs for a little before his eyes snap open and find me.
"well that was a long nap", I feel like he isn't ok in the head, maybe because of the 'happy' drugs.
"now would be a good time to be getting out of that seat", with some effort he gets up with a grunt. And follows silently behind me, as if he really doesn't want to talk. I walk up to the driver who hands me and Rogue our transfer ticket. Then I jump off the bus with Rogue right on my tail. At least he still moves fast.
(In some bar far in the Rainforest District Pov of Coraline)
I can't believe our good hard worked for rep just went WHOOSH! down the fucking drain. I mean Rogue lived but ... I never got to tell him how I feel for him. Now he may never be the same. I take a BIG swig from the bottle in my hand and set it back down. I mean I know him but I don't know all of him like, what was your childhood like? or did the military treet you good? No I never had a chance to ask that without everyone knowing that I like him enough to say "I love you" to him and basicly just snuggle with him on the spot. Just that it was so unfortanate that he was shot when I was gonna ask. Why does life treat him like crap and distroy what he builds?
(back on the bus Pov of Rogue)
"hey Jared"
"yeah?"
"I want you to take me to a bar in the Rainforest"
"why?"
"because I want a drink is that bad?"
"no"
"exactly", and the bus stops at the much needed stop for Rogue and Jared. The apartment building was infront of them. But I walked down a side ally and to a car that was left there by a fellow officer.
"hey wait isn't that Johnathan's car?"
"yes Jared and your driving", he entered the car with no objection and started it, I had just started to buckle up when he started to drive into the busy road. He look around as he entered the tunnle for the Rainforest District.
"so what's the name of the bar I might know where it is"
"oh you don't know it"
"try me"
"The drunken Otter"
"what?"
"exactly, take a left here"
(back in the bar, Pov of Coraline)
I started to feel the influense of the booze getting to me, like I can't be stopped at all. I am the unstoppable object, but in that case where is the unmovable one? Da fuck it! Rogue's still alive, he's ok, so the hell am I so god damn upset? Who the fuck cares! I pull the mug in my hand to my face and take a long swig. I feel like I'm for getting something but what? Oh forget it.
"oi you pretty lady", I turn to see a very drunk wild cat.
"h-how's bout me and you get jiggy with it?", ok I need to put this fuck tard in place and sober up myself.
"Sir I'm a off duty cop, and if you start to sexully harase me then I'll have to call you in", this didn't seam to have any effect on him.
"I don't see a badge o-or a gun so mind running that b-by me again?", shit he was right
"Sir I recamend that if you value your life and don't want a bullet in your head for assulting an officer and attemptive rape, then back off", I look past the man to find Rogue holding his side arm and sticking his badge in the air for everyone to see that he is in deed a cop, and not a bouncer.
"ok ok yeash I wa-", he cut him off.
"You will respect me or I will put you in the back off duty car", the man infornt of me insantly changed and staightened up. He promptlt considered saying sorry to me but when he turned to look at me, I gave him the best death glare I could. He then nodded and walked away. After some time Rogue had turned to me with a wide smile.
"so was he hitting on you or was he actully trying to ..", I knew what he was talking about.
"yeah he was"
"oh well lucky I was here huh? and by the way never forget you badge and gun, you NEED those", I nod as I took his advise and turned back to the bar counter and Rogue took a seat next to me.
"how did you get here?", this had to be something he had planned out because you could see the gears in his head turning.
"just got out the hospital and had to take a long bus ride borrowed Johnathan's car and came here for drinks", well at least now I know what I was forgetting.
"but you don't like to drive!"
"Jared took me here, he left not too long ago", The bartender came up to Rogue and asked if he wanted anything.
"Budlight", and the bartender turned on his feet and grabed a bottle of the light beer and handed it to Rogue. He promptly said "thanks" and all the bartender did was nod and started to tend for the rest of the bar. I felt an unease in the air as Rogue sat next to me, like he want's to say something but he can't speak. I look at him, him and his big simle ... clean red fur ... nice pointed ears, but I think the best feature on him was his eyes, they were blue but a very special blue, like if you looked him in the eyes you would see that from left to right his eyes go from dark blue to light blue. And like that I couldn't take it anymore. I fall off the stool I was on and land on my knees, Letting my cries be heard, Rogue had gotten off his stool in a heart beat and started asking me what's wrong. But I made no attempt to answer him. I just sat there crying my heart out as he watched. Then he did something I thought he would never do, he hugged me tightly in a loving manner, not how he usually does it, like he LOVED loved me. I slowly stopped crying, when I did he asked me one last time.
"what's wrong?", his voice quiet and soft
"I-I ..." did I really want to tell him? Yes I do. I took a deep breath.
"I LOVE YOU ROGUE LEGEND!", and like that the whole bar stopped, everything was dead silent. And then Rogue started to laugh. Once he caught his breath he looked at me.
"Well I already knew that ... and you should have said something sooner other wise we could have had been ... well do I really need to repeat what happed that night when I first woke up in your bed?", I simply shook my head.
"good now ...", he grabs my hand and pulls me to my feet. "how about I do this and I hope you are ok with my answer", I was dead worried what it was going to be, but instead his hands landed on my hips and he pulled me into him, he lifted his right one up to my head and put it behind my thick hair, pulled my head forward and our lips meet. I could slightly hear the bar woop and shout out to us, but it was slowly fading, untill the only things that mattered was Rogue and nothing but him. When we parted we were slightly panting. there was only one thing I could hope for that this momment wasn't going to ruined by something. Then the door slammed open and there stood four hooded figures. As one of them aprouched us, Rogue looked closely at them, his ears flattened while he was. The his ears perked up and and stood staight with his old military posture, put his hands by his sides and lifted his right to salute. Then the leader who was in front lifted an open hand in protest.
"Rogue please I'm no longer your commander"
