Chapter 3:
HOURS LATER"MEDLAB"OF THE BROTHERHOOD BASE:
Magneto and Pyro were standing over Camille's bed, in which she was resting peacefully. Looking almost content. Almost. Every now and then her face would twist in a way that could only mean her dreams weren't all happy ones.
Magneto put his hand on John's shoulder and said, while still observing Camille
"She is a strong one, Pyro. Very smart as well, for her age. See, she is awakening already."
"She needs rest Mags. She also needs someone else to help her with her stability of her control over her powers. Someone who KNOWS what it's like to have an element inside of you. Someone who knows HER. Someone who controls an element and can better relate and teach her. I also think her and Rogue should spend less time together, all this pointless SHIT is HER fault!….Camille worries too much about everything and everyone around her. She needs more individual time and devotion." John replied, staring at Magneto.
Magneto slowly turned his head and eyes to stare at Pyro.
"So, YOU want to take responsibility for her progress then? Are you positive this is what you want?" Magneto asked, with an air of military authority.
"Yes sir, completely positive. I want this." John replied, then he turned his face to Camille's again.
"Don't disappoint me Pyro. She's all yours." Magneto said with a hint of amusement and pride in his voice and then walked out of the room.
"Thanks…………..Johnny. Are…you…….okay?" Camille asked, trying to catch her breath. Aside from being out of breath, and her body aching a little, she felt fine. Better than before, that's for damn sure……………Cami thought.
"Fine Cami. Don't even try to move yet. Painkillers haven't had enough time to kick in. No doubt b/c of your always-alert brain." he murmured, leaning down towards her.
"I'm going to take over your training now Camille. No more of Rogue' s bullshit, no more stupid drama. You'll learn control soon enough Cami." He reached for her hand, gently entwining their fingers. She smiled a bit.
"And in return for my professional services all I ask for is……………………you must call me MASTER." Her eyes shot open and stared at him. He tried to keep a straight face, he really did. But after he gave her a wink, he started to laugh. Which had her giggling slightly. She's gonna be okay………….He sighed, relieving some of his stress he's been carrying around ever since he stepped outside Rogue's room.
She squeezed his hand.
"Thank you Johnny." I've seen a thousand emotions run through his eyes. Just in this short time that I've known him. And, being the smartass that he is, now is the time he chooses to show one that I can't decipher. I like the look in his eyes though…………woah…….maybe the painkillers are "happy" pills…..Camille thought.
I haven't had this wonderful, awful, feeling since………since my mother. Caring for someone else, or maybe it's more now? I dunno…..I do know, that I don't want it to go away…..OMG……….out of all the things that would make a flame throwing Son of a Bitch terrorist FEEL…………..a FUCKING GIRL! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET SOFT OVER HER! I SHOULDN'T NEED ANYONE ELSE, I'VE ALWAYS………………….been alone. Plus, she needs me now. Even if it's only for a little while, I'll enjoy it for as long as she'll allow me to. Pyro thought.
John realized that they had been staring at one another for quite some time now, and that he wanted someone to fall back on, he wanted someone to trust him enough to be their confidant. So, he slowly leaned forward and cupped Camille's face and gently, but firmly, pressed his lips to hers. He then pulled back and looked in her eyes (A/N: cheezy, duh! But I like romance so shuddup!)
"I've got you Cami…..you don't need to worry as much now. My pet" He chuckled, still inches away from her lips.
He…………..he………..KISSED ME? Dude…………...wait! Why! What did he just say to me? ……………..ummmm…………….he's got me……..awwwwwwwwww! Pyro's gotta a romantic side………hehehe. Camille thought. It could possibly the painkiller's influence. She's a bit of a lightweight.
"Stubborn ass……..Johnny………ummmm, does this mean……….that we're…….errr…." Camille tried. WTF is wrong with me?
"Together? Dating? Lovers? Mates? In a 'relationship'………." he stood straight up and rubbed his chin with his fingers, pretending to "think" for a moment. Camille sat up, she was feeling as good as new now.
Then he grinned,
"Absolutely babe." Then he leaned back down and kissed her again. Longer this time. He actually almost groaned when she pulled away from him and then she started………………..giggling……..WTF!
When she saw the look he was giving her, the giggles grew into loud laughter. To "punish" her, he decided to tickle her till she could barely breath.
"What……………..is………….SOOOOO………funny……….that you didn't even let……..your boyfriend in on it? Hmm?" John asked, trying to regain his breath. He had collapsed on Cami, laying his head on her tummy, his arms wrapped around her.
He saw her grin. But, not like a normal grin. More like a oh-you're-gonna-get-it-now grin. She sat up, bringing him with her, and gave him a bear hug! But then, she started to plant open-mouthed kisses and lick and nibble all over his neck, making her way back up to his mouth. But before she was close enough to actually kiss him, she stopped. And raised an eyebrow at him.
"My pet?"
He grinned. And leaned down, kissing all over her face before reaching her lips. The kiss started firm and slow, but Camille soon felt his tongue run along her bottom lip, repetitively. But, being the tease she is, she kept her mouth shut. Until he started to tickler her again. She gasped, his tongue plunged into her mouth, as they both explored one another. His hands slowly roaming, pushing her back onto the table to lay down, with him hovering over her. She felt him smirk into the kiss.
Cocky asshole. MY cocky asshole.
