A/N: Bear in mind that Places We Forgot to Forget is Not in chronological order. Think of it as all the flashbacks Rogue might have from absorbing Illyria (canon with Larmes du Soleil).
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Deadpool/Wade Wilson/WeaponXI (shame, that)
#01 – Comfort
He's never been the type to seek comfort, and she's not the type to give it, but the rain is coming down now and he has nowhere else to go.
#02 – Kiss
Their first kiss is full of fire and frustration – they set each other alight, because he's the most self centered, arrogant, son-of-a-bitch she's ever met and he think she's sexy when she's mad.
#03 – Soft
Her blue hair doesn't look shiny, like those shampoo commercials, but he finds that he actually really loves to touch it, because it feels like home and he wishes he could run his fingers through it everyday!
#04 – Pain
She's bleeding all over the bathroom floor, and even though he's not the one who got shot, he hurts like a motherfucker – her blood's just so red that it makes his eyes fly wide.
#05 – Potatoes
They were golden and perfect and he wanted it to be one of the best nights of her life.
#06 – Rain
When she twists and turns her hair flies everywhere, like blue fire; the heavens are coming down, each raindrop like an avenging angel, but still she fights – there's no other way, she just has to get to him.
#07 – Chocolate
He watches her dry the skin on her back and wonders what it's like to taste candy off her – he decides to try, and almost looses a limb in the process.
#08 – Happiness
She's not sure if he's "happy" with her, because with Wade it's just hard to tell, but he keeps coming back, so does she, so maybe it's okay for now.
#09 – Telephone
They don't ever talk on the phone, or at least, they didn't used to – it was a rule until that one time she needed to vent.
#10 –Ears
Her hearing is sharper than his, so she picks up the whispers of devotion he gives her when he thinks she's sleeping.
#11 – Name
There's no label on them – couple, lovers, friends, fuck-buddies – none of it works because if they give it a name, it might become real.
#12 – Sensual
He thought sensual was a stupid word until he saw her move – she fights and she walks and she talks and she swims and she dances like the Queen of the World – she appeals to him in every way.
#13 – Death
She is violence, she is death – it's in every line of her body, every move she makes and ever word she speaks – he finds he's a little afraid of that but like a moth to the flame, he never learned his lesson.
#14 – Sex
He needs to touch her to be sure he made it back, she's home base, and without her he'd be a ship with no port and no anchor – her touch brings him back to life.
#15 – Touch
Her wounds are so deep he can't heal them, he refuses to try (fear of failure) but he does trace the scars, the tattoos; he's not afraid to touch her past and he knows how much that means.
#16 – Weakness
His knees buckle and as the lights begin to dim and he slips to the floor he thinks of her; he wonders where she is and what she's doing and who she's with.
#17 – Tears
She doesn't cry them, and he doesn't either.
#18 – Speed
They lay in bed and named all the kids they could never have, they planned the life they'd never live quickly and quietly because it was an hour before sunrise.
#19 – Wind
He likes it when she flies to meet him, it makes him feel cleansed (not that he needs it), as if he's been touched by an angel, a fallen one, but an angel nonetheless.
#20 – Freedom
Much like a wild animal, she comes and goes as she pleases; she may eat the meal he set out for her, but she's just as good with fending for herself; if he ever tried to cage her, he knows she'd tear him to shreds.
#21 – Life
They don't have one, not together – that's what they try to tell Felix, anyway.
#22 – Jealousy
Most men would be jealous of her partner, but he thanks God for Felix every time he watches her walk away – Felix will keep her as safe as she'll let him.
#23 – Hands
Her hands run over his new black veins and he wants to hate her for loving him, for not seeing what he sees, but maybe he actually wants to fall to his knees and thank her for coming for him, in this: his darkest hour.
#24 – Devotion
Love, loyalty and enthusiasm: all accounted for.
#25 – Forever
Forever won't happen for them – she'll die on the job, and he's immortal – but now will do.
#26 – Blood
It runs down her face in tiny rives – blood – falling into her hair and he wants to reach through the plasma screen and touch her, but this was yesterday and she's gone now; he doesn't know where to look.
#28 – Sickness
When he tells her he has cancer she laughs; it takes her a moment to realize he's not smiling and that her world just started to fall apart.
#29 – Melody
She's cold and she's lonely, a thousand miles from home – nobody's coming for her, nobody knows she's there – she just wants to hear his voice, now, please.
#30 – Star
They're on the beach, long after sunset, with her head on his chest and his fingers in her hair, "there's a bright one," he says.
#31 – Home
They refuse to make a home - that would be a little too comfortable for comfort.
#32 – Confusion
They fight because she's itching to spill blood and he needs to get the hell out of town.
#33 – Fear
He wants to tell her that he loves her, but she fears cages, and he worries that he might sound too much like home for her to be free, so he keeps his silence.
#34 – Thunder & Lighting
The storm rolls in over Tuscany, and when the lighting flashes he catches a glimpse of the Thunder that's coming – she brings tornadoes to his door just for shits and giggles.
#35 – Bonds
He watches her drive away and feels at tug in part of his chest he didn't realize worked anymore.
#36 – Market
She throws his cucumbers right back at him when he comes in, because apparently they're cucumbers, not zucchinis.
#37 – Technology
He manages to persuade her that a digital camera is a GOOD thing.
#38 – Gift
She comes into her apartment with Felix, late on her birthday, to find a beautiful, custom grip, left handed .45 – she's carried it around ever since, the thing never jams – and she doesn't ask who sent it, it's not necessary.
#39 – Smile
He caught sight of her fangs the first time he saw her smile, and they scared the living shit out of him, but he unsheathed his swords to fight her anyway.
#40 – Innocence
Neither of them has any innocence left, or any naïveté, but maybe they could find a new thing to make them feel like their life wasn't too fucking terrible.
#41 – Completion
His eyes are clamped shut, his lips parted; the tendons in his neck stand out and as he whispers her name, every muscle tensed before he shudders and lays his head on her shoulder.
#42 – Clouds
She runs her fingers through his hair while he sleeps; the bags under his eyes upset her, and she searches the sky for a way to help him.
#43 – Sky
Sky blue and robin's egg, lapis and midnight, cerulean and brandeis – he had no idea there were that many shades of blue!
#44 – Heaven
The place they're staying in this time has a fireplace and she's stretched out naked on the bearskin rug with the shadows dancing across her skin.
#45 – Hell
She tears through the rubble of Three Mile Island like a crazy person, looking for a trace, a scent, a scrap of clothing.
#46 – Sun
She finds out the fun way that his skin tans, instead of burning.
#47 – Moon
He comes up onto the roof and puts his arms around her, without asking if she's okay – she wouldn't like that – she smells like cigarettes and cyclamens.
#48 – Waves
She flies with him over the sea and tries to ignore the freaked out, girly screeches he's letting out.
#49 - Hair
He asks about every little trinket braided into her waves, and the only answer he ever gets is: I thought I might need it some day.
#50 – Supernova
He looks at her and asks: why haven't I been consumed?
