The Day After: The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow
Rogue fought to keep her eyes open. She hadn't gotten any sleep last night. She'd been too busy fixing the medical clinic back up, and then convincing Storm that Warren would now be sleeping in her room, so she could watch him 24/7 and if she had a problem, Rogue would fix it. At this she clenched her fists. Storm didn't notice, but finally agreed to the proposal. Bobby had disappeared, sometime between Rogue practically killing him, and Hank arriving to assist her with Warren.
Rogue had helped Hank settle Warren into her bed, and set up the proper equipment Warren needed, which wasn't much. Just some oxygen in case, and all of his injections, too. Storm lectured her for almost thirty minutes about how there was no sexual activity, and then Rogue lectured her about how if she'd just shut up and let them be, none of this would have happened.
Rogue fixed up all of Warren's bruises, and sent the older mutants away, while she tended to his lower half. He was unconscious for all of this, and she was glad, because the awkwardness might have been too embarrassing. Rogue finally finished and went quickly to the bathroom to clean herself up a little. When she got back, Warren was awake.
"Hey," he whispered weakly. She smiled and walked to his side.
"I missed you," she leaned in and kissed him, for the longest time.
"I missed you too," he said, pulling her gently onto the bed.
"Warren," she pulled back, "Don't get too carried away. You body needs time to heal."
"My body is dying to be touched," he whined.
"Warren," Rogue said, grinning darkly, "Your body will be touched. The second you're better, we're gone, and I promise you, first thing, we'll go to a motel."
"I don't care where we go," he said, "As long as I have you. And your body"
"I didn't realize you were so…pervy," Rogue said.
"I didn't realize I was so pervy, either, but I guess that's what you do to me."
"I'm sorry I couldn't get there faster," Rogue sighed, running a finger along a cut on his arm.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before…" he said, "That I didn't tell you every day…That I love you."
"I'm sorry that I ever tried to kill myself," Rogue said, "without meeting you first."
"I'm sorry that we're still talking," Warren said, "And not kissing."
"Something we agree on!" Rogue said, before pulling him into a long kiss. Rogue pulled away, "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah," he said, not even noticing it before.
"I'll go get some good stuff," she said, "Now you're in a plain old room. Anyone will here your screams. Not as if matters. Drake seems to have disappeared into thin air."
"How unfortunate," Warren said sarcastically.
Rogue walked quietly down the hall, surprised to not see anybody lingering around the room. Warren had been quite popular as a mutant attraction the last couple days. Many students flocked around him, crying, like they knew him, or something. Rogue found it disgusting. Little hypocrite posers, she would think, only sad when they think they've lost something. She turned a corner, and heard the irritated voice of Kitty Pryde. The girl was turned away from Rogue, talking on her cell phone.
"Nothings going on here. You should come back. I miss you." Kitty leaned against the wall, but was still starring absently in the other direction.
"No, Rogue isn't worried. Why the hell would she be? I donno. Bobby, why should I ask? I don't care about how you feel. Well yes, but-" Kitty sighed, "No. She'll like kill me or something. Especially if she finds out I helped you get in there. Why? BECAUSE! If I hadn't gotten you in, Warren would be just fine. Well, better anyhow."
"I've never thought of it that way," Rogue said, smirking. Kitty jumped about ten feet in the air, and dropped her cell phone. Rogue could hear the faint yells of Bobby seeing if she was there.
"Rogue…" Kitty trailed, taking a step back.
"You know, you may not be so dumb after all," Rogue said, "I mean you were right about something. Now that I've come to the realization that it was really your doing, I will kill you. Yes. I will kill you if I ever," Rogue stepped forward, "see you again."
"I-" Kitty faltered.
"Scram Kitty-cat," Rogue growled.
Kitty took another step backwards, and ran into the wall, with a loud thump. Rogue chuckled, "Wait- one more thing." She yanked Kitty's shirt, and lifted her slightly off the ground. The young girl was too frozen to react. "Don't ever touch my man again, or help anybody else do it. He's mine. If I catch you anywhere near him…"
"Well. I'll leave it at that," Rogue grinned, setting her down on her feet.
Rogue stepped hard on the cell phone, killing Bobby's voice, "Oops."
Then she turned and walked calmly down the hallway.
