To Be In Love: Sucks Like Hell
Warren sat quietly in bed, pondering where Rogue had gone to. He'd heard her having a fight with some female a ways down the hallway, but he hadn't understood who it'd been. Not until they entered his room.
"Somehow I'm not surprised."
Kitty blushed, "How are you?"
"Don't give me that crap."
Kitty looked hurt, "What crap?"
"Don't come in here, acting all sweet and angel-like. I already have my angel, and she's a hell of a lot better then your sorry ass."
"I'm sorry!" Kitty burst out.
"For?" Warren growled impatiently.
"What happened to you, I helped Bobby get in," she said, ashamed.
"Look, all I know is Drake messed with me, Rogue intervened, and he hasn't been seen sense. So you better scat before she comes back and starts taking her anger out on you."
"She already does that plenty," Kitty sighed.
"With good reason," Warren pointed out.
"I just…I love him."
"We talking about Drake?" Warren asked, curious.
"I loved him so much, but he loved her. So I just let him have his way with me, just to be close, even if for a second. He told me that it was just for personal reasons, there was nothing really there, and it was only because he couldn't touch Rogue."
"I got more and more angry at him, but I just couldn't voice it. I still can't."
"Excuse me?" somebody said from the door, "Am I interrupting something?"
Kitty jumped, upon seeing Rogue, "I-"
"Don't care. Leave. Now." Rogue snapped.
Kitty hurried past Rogue and stumbled down the hallway.
"She said she loves him," Warren whispered.
"Point?" Rogue asked.
"I know how it feels. To be in love, alone, without somebody responding with your feelings. I know the feeling," Warren sighed. Rogue raised her brow curiously.
"I never told you, I mean I was gonna, but…" He faltered, "I've loved you sense I first saw you. I was on that roof not only because of my father, and everything else, but because of you. I mean, it's not your fault, nothing is, but…I never thought you'd love me back."
"You never said anything," Rogue murmured.
"I didn't even think you knew who I wa-"
"I did," Rogue confirmed, "I was just…already taken."
"I should have told you," he said.
"We both should have said something," Rogue said comfortingly. "I love you, Warren…"
"I've always loved you…" he said.
"I always will," Rogue finished, kissing him gently on the lips.
