'Uhm, Hey Scott' She made her way over to the couch, sitting herself directly next to him.
'Oh, hey Jean.' He looked at her, a small wave of pain passing over him. He knew she had been with Duncan last night. While peering out his window, he spotted her jumping into Duncan's car. 'How was your time with Duncan last night?'
She paused for a moment, caught off guard by the question. 'Oh, it was fun. We went skating, and then to watch a movie...'her voice trailed off a bit before her gaze fell upon the table. 'Physics?'
Scott sat upright, leaning over to view the book. 'Oh yeah, I'm helping Rogue study for her test tomorrow.' Which reminds me, where is Rogue? His eyes went to the kitchen then back to Jean.
'Oh, you're helping Rogue?' Jean cast her gaze downward, a flash of anger suddenly in her eyes. 'Uh yeah, she asked me to help her today.' He sat there, both uncomfortable and hurt. Although him and Jean didn't have anything going on anymore, her time with Duncan always left him with a scar.
'I see.' Both Scott and Jean sat there in pin dropping silence.
Making her way back to the couch, soda can in one hand...she stopped, her eyes falling upon Jean and Scott. 'Oh, uhm,..Ah'm sorry...Ah'll come back latah if ya want me to Scott.' Turning around to leave, she heard him call out to her.
Scott looked up, 'Rogue! Come back. We're not done studying. Jean was just asking me something' He smiled in relief, Rogue had just broken the uncomfortable situation he had been in five seconds ago.
'I was just leaving anyway.' Jean got up and made her way up the stairs, glancing down at the two, a frown upon her lips.
'Whats up with her?' Rogue turned, taking her seat back on the couch, placing the can on the table.
Scott shrugged, tilting his head downward. A few locks of chocolate landing upon his shades, thoughts drowning his mind. He cared about Jean, their breakup was a bumpy one. But it was about time he let her go. She seemed to care a lot for Duncan.
'Hey Scott, are you alright?' Rogue looked at him, concern filling those pools of emerald.
'Yeah, I'm fine' Looking up at Rogue, he met his gaze with hers. His heart giving a small jump. Her eyes seemed so concerned. 'Don't worry about it' He smiled, picking up the physics book. 'So what page where we---'
Grabbing the book from his hands, she slammed it shut and placed it upon the table. 'Listen Scott Summers, Ah know you use those shades of yours to hide behind. But Ah think ah know you bettah, and Ah know somethin' is botherin' you!'
A small chuckle escaped from him. There were two ways to know when she was angry with him. One, she would use his full name. Two, that southern accent of hers would be more pronounced than ever.
She scoffed, white tendrils falling upon her face.' What is so funny?'
'Nothing...' he sighed., admiring the way her hair fell upon her face. 'It's just---'
'Wait, you were fine when Ah left ya meaning. whatever is wrong with ya, must be dealing with Jean'. Rogue tucked a leg underneath her as she scooted a bit closer to him. 'That's it, ain't it? Is it about her date last night with Duncan?'
He nodded, turning away from her. He hated the way she knew him so well. More so, he hated the way she could figure him out, besides Jean, she was the only one who could get passed his 'tough leader' exterior. 'You know, I still care for her.'
Rogue lifted his head up with gloved digits. 'Ah know it still haunts you when you see her go out with Duncan, but ya got to let her go. She dumped ya, remember? Ah mean,.that didn't sound right.' She sighed, sliding down into the couch. 'Ah am no good at this type of thing, and here Ah am tryin' to give ya advice.
'It's alright. I'm just glad you're here for moral support. What would the others think if they saw their "fearless" leader like this?' He gave her one of those half smiles.
She sighed, they would see the real you Scott Summers.
'How did you know Jean went on a date with Duncan yesterday, anyway?' He peered over to her, those red optics beaming a bit, due to the light the fireplace gave off.
Tilting her heads towards the window, she gazed up at the sky 'At night, Ah sometimes go on the roof, to clear my head, or at least try to.' A small sigh escaped her lips. Almost as if by routine, she would sit on the roof at night, and just gaze up at the stars, the moon. Wondering what it would be like to touch, to get those voices out of her head.
'Look Scott.' propping herself back up on the couch, she turned to him. 'Ah know Ah may not be the best to give this type of advice, but you deserve someone bettah than Jean. She must be crazy for dumping you. You're a great guy Scott, and Ah'm sure ya'll have no trouble in finding another girl.' After saying all of that, she breathed in, waiting for his response, but he just sat there, smiling. 'Alright then, Ah'm goin' to go upstairs. Ah'll finish studying with Kitty. Getting off of the couch, she felt him get up as well.
'G'night Scott.' About to make he way upstairs, she felt his hand slide into hers, then slowly pull her into an embrace. She stood there, frozen as Scott slid his arms around her waist.
'Thank you Rogue.' He whispered in her ear before letting her go. 'G'night to you too.' He smiled as he made his way to his room.
She blinked, as she slowly went up the stairs. Her boots making a 'clunk' sound with every step. 'Kitty was wrong, Ah do not like him.'
Midway up the stairs, she stopped, bringing her gloved hand above to her view. .He didn't hesitate once to touch me, to hug me. She smiled; continuing her way up the steps.
