And here we go!

"Rogue? Chere, y'n dere?" He knocked on her door, only to be met by silence.

He'd taken Scott's oh-so-helpful advice and just went up to her room. Hoping to pour out his soul to her. He opened her unlocked door and slipped inside. But the French doors that led out to her balcony were wide open, sheer curtains billowing in the summer breeze.

"Rogue?" He saw her standing, sitting on the railing with her legs draped over the outside of the stone

"What do ya want, Gambit?" Her voice held such coldness, such indirect hate. He could hear it with the few words that she had spoken. He knew here well enough to know the emotions that were running through out her system. He did, after all, have the same running through him.

"Hopin' dat its de same t'in' as you be wantin', cherie," He said as he crossed the threshold to join her in the warm summer air.

She turned on him, picking her fight.

"What the hell would ya know about what I want, Gambit? Huh? Ya ain't been here more than a week. And ya been dead ta all o us for a long while. How would ya know what we've been through?" She turned her head away as the tears welled up inside them. "What I've been through?"

"What d'y' wan' me say? Dat I know? Dat I can picture it? Rogue, y'be fergettin' dat I lived just as long wit'out y' as y'did me."

She looked back at him with her misty emerald eyes.

"Ya wanna know what you can say?" She tilted her head in such a away that was Rogue. It was one of those things that he'd expected his aunts to do, and every other woman. But they didn't. It was all Rogue.

It just went to show how she filled his body. Every cavity, like a blissful cancer.

"Tell me you've had trouble sleepin'. That ya toss an' turn from side to side." She held up a hand to still him, letting him know that she wasn't finished.

"That it's my face you've been seein' in your dreams at night." She nearly sung the words to him. She nearly gave in to her pain and let him slip his arms around her. But she stopped both from happening by hopping down from the ledge and back onto the balcony with one swift move.

"Dat's de easy part, chere. I missed y' every second I was gone. Alls dem t'ings be true," He said as he stared at her.

"Tell me that you wake up cryin'. And you're not sure exactly why. Tell me that sometin' is missin' in yer life."

"O course, chere, did y' ever t'ink otherwise?"

"Then don't go on pretendin' like you were all gung-ho about the fact the I was in love with ya. We both knew you didn't want it at first. That ya were just plain uncomfortable with it."

His brows drew together in frustration at her truth. "Well, what d'y' wan' me t'say, Rogue? It be d'trut' (the truth)," Remy lowered his head as he said it. Ashamed that she could so easily read his horrid intention.

"Ya were supposed ta…to tell me that ya live for love, that forever is never enough. That you've waited all of ya life ta see….That ya want so badly too believe…Just, tell me that it's not just me."

Now she joined him in looking at the concrete. She was aware that a gentle rain had started to fall, transporting her back to a world of what once was.

"Chere, let Remy tell y'a story." He said, meeting her eyes that had fixated on the glass of the still open door behind him. "'Member when we stood out here togeth'r last? Dat time just before Magneto came n'wrecked d'place? Well, I coulda sworn I saw y'smile at me. Standin' in d'pourin' rain. And…at a loss for words…runnin' outta time here , chere. Jus' want y't'know dat it was one of de best times o'm'life. Kissin' y' fo' de first time. 'Member how I said dis crazy t'in'?"

"No," She said closing her eyes, hoping that the rain would wash this mess away.

"Chere, 'M gunna tell y'somet'in' dat I shoulda told y'long ago. I believe in love, dat forever's never enough. I've waited all m'life t'see…an I want so badly to believe. Chere, can y' tell me that its not just me?" He said, knowing the true impact of his words.

Her heart lifted little by little as he said those words. If she knew Gambit, and she did, he would never listen to a word she said and the man rarely followed anyone's direction other than his own. She gave him her gaze as he took her chin an tilted it up with a gloved finger. "Huh, how 'bout it, mon amour?"

Rogue gave into the desperate need that she had been feeling ever since he'd left her so long ago. She wrapped her arms around him, pushing her face into his chest. And she cried.

Rogue didn't know how long she stood there, crying in his arms. And, frankly, she didn't care. When she finally caught hold of her breath, she said, "Remy, I-I'm so sorry. I-I just-"

He cut her off with his still sensitive words. "Chere, y'don't gotta say not'in'. Just, hold me now an' tell me dat y'do believe in a soul mate." He wrapped his arms around her tighter.

"A soul mate?"

He nodded. She stood up tip toe and brought his head down near hers. She could smell the rain in his hair. "I believe in love, forever's never enough. I've waited all my life ta see and I want so badly to believe. Remy, its not just you," She smiled up at him, waiting for his reaction. His face broke into a joyous smile as she still held herself so close to him. He looked her over for a second and then brought his mouth gentlyonto hers.Shocked, she pulled back. Then realized that, even though she had not prepared any of her control on her powers, she had not absorbed him.

"But-but how?" She said, new tears springing to her eyes.

"Come inside, chere, Remy'll tell y'dere."

Aw :3 so cute. But wait, if Rogue wasn't usin her conrtol,how'd Remy touch her? Oo'? Stay tuned for the next chappie! promise it'll be better than this piece o' crap! > I'll probably end up revampin this one soon anyways 99 HAPPY HOLIDAYS! -
