Hey everyone! I'm back with another X-men: Evolution fic. This is another story about Rogue, and will be focused mainly on touch. It is about the 7 Deadly Sins: Luxuria (Lust), Gula (Gluttony), Avaritia (Greed), Acedia (Sloth), Ira (Wrath), Invidia (Envy), and Superbia (Pride).
Disclaimer: Definitely don't own X-men: Evolution.
Invidia
Touch. A graze of the arm, a tap on the shoulder, a handshake, a hug, a KISS. Why is it I can't have this feeling? Not a lost memory of touch, but the actual feeling of skin on skin. Touch without my 'gift', my curse, trying to devour someone. Scott and Jean, they don't flaunt their relationship but it doesn't matter. They have something meaningful and can express their love for each other! The professor shakes hands with the people he meets, what I wouldn't give for that. Kitty has the ability to not touch, yet she can and she does.
The other's think I'm antisocial. I'm not! NOT NOT NOT! I just can't stand seeing them touch each other! Why should they be able to touch when I CAN'T! It's not fair! I'm dying inside; I can't stand how my life has turned out. Everyone should have to suffer not being able to touch, skin to skin. They should all have to suffer the same as me, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. This, this feeling of envy that strangles my very being.
I want to be able to brush arms with strangers in a crowded space. I want someone to tap my shoulder. I want to shake the hand of a new acquaintance. I want to hug a friend. I want to kiss the guy of my dreams. They take it for granted, but I wouldn't I would cherish every second of it. They take it for granted what I so desire. So they should not be allowed to wallow in the many pleasures of touch.
They don't deserve it.
Touch.
Yea I know this is over done. But it is just one of the seven sins, one that is more prominent when referring to Rogue.
