Chapter 5

'Well here we go' Rogue thought to herself as she opened the door to the kitchen.

"ROGUE" her name was shouted from ten different directions from around the room, followed by, "Where were you… you weren't at school… Oh my god did something happen… did you meet a guy… are you dropping school… …?"

Rogue had her back pinned to the door by all the mouthing students. She couldn't think let alone answer questions. How on earth was she going to get herself out of this mess?

As everyone kept advancing towards her asking a thousand questions, Rogue started to feel claustrophobic. Fearing that they would get to close she pushed her way threw the crowd and headed for the exit on the other side of the room. Just as she was about to run she came face to face with the most short tempered man in the institute… Logan.

"Whoa there Stripes… watch where your…" Logan stopped in mid-sentence as he began to smell the air. "Somethin' don't smell right" he continued to sniff around.

Rogue felt her stomach drop. Had Logan picked up Remy's scent? She began to pray that he didn't recognise the Cajuns scent that now surrounded her.

"Where have you been today Stripes? Its certain y' aint been to school" Logan asked with a look in his eye that Rogue was unable to decipher.

"Oh um… ah wasn't feelin' well so ah went for a wall… threw err… the forest" Rogue mentally slapped herself for that excuse; there was no way Logan would believe that.

"Ok" Logan said as he shrugged his shoulders before walking off.

Rogue just stood there in utter disbelief. Something funny was going on, first with the professor and now Logan. This was not right.

But that thought was quickly pushed to the back of her mind as she remembered her reason for being down here in the first place. Remy needed food.

Rogue peered around the corner to see who was left in the kitchen. Luckily there was only Bobby, Sam and Ray.

She carefully crept in and began to scan the room for some thing that Remy would like, also what he would be able to eat. She quickly spotted some pre-made ham sandwiches and some other bits. Rogue snatched up as much as she could carry and headed back up to her room.

Rogue slowly opened the door to her room only to find a still sleeping Remy. She carefully crept over to the bed side table and placed the food onto it.

All of a sudden Remy's sleeping body began to move. Still in a state of sleep he began to toss and turn. He was having a nightmare. Rogue instantly recognised the look on his face. It was the same one he had just after the incident with Magneto. He was remembering.

Rogue swiftly moved to his side, unsure of what else to do, she carefully placed her gloved hand onto his right cheek. Remy features instantly became relaxed and he calmed down returning to a peaceful state.

Removing her hand, Rogue grabbed her desk stool then placed it beside the bed and sat down next to Remy's sleeping form.

It felt like an eternity as she just sat there and watched Remy as he slept. She was memorised his handsomely chiselled features, from his strong jaw line to the bridge of his nose.

Rogue was in an entranced state as she repeatedly looked over his god like features. All she wanted to do was run her bare hands all over his body.

As she came back to her senses, she realised it was getting late. Rogue had just enough time for a quick shower after a hard day. She silently slipped out of the bedroom and into the bath room.

After about ten minuets passed Rogue emerged with a towel wrapped around he hair and was dressed in a tank top and shorts.

Rogue gazed back over to her bed to see a still sleeping Remy. He had started to move again in his sleep only now it was worse; he was thrashing from side to side mumbling for something to stop.

She immediately went to his side dropping the towel and forgetting that her hands were uncovered. She went to place her hand on his cheek, but by the time she realised her hands were bare it was to late. She now had her gloveless hand placed on his unshaven cheek.

Rogue closed her eyes tight expecting to feel the usual pull and have all his thoughts in her head.

But nothing happened.

Rogue slowly opened her eyes to see her bare hand still attached to Remy's face. He had now calmed down back to a motionless state. She just stared at her hand. She was touching him, skin to skin, but there was no pull, no draining Remy's life. Nothing.

"How?" Rogue whispered to herself as she tried to will her hand to move from Remy's cheek, but it wouldn't budge.

She finally noticed Remy's eyes began to flutter open, and she finally found the power to pull her hand away.

Remy slowly opened his demonic eyes, remembering where he was and how he got there. Once his eyes came into focus he recognised the angelic face that was staring down at him. The emeralds that she called eyes and the white bangs that fell across her belle face. Remy instantly had his trademark grin plastered across his face.

"Enjoyin' watching me sleep, Chere"

"Oh um… y' were having a bad dream so ah… er tried to help" Rogue answered as she took a few steps back quickly grabbing her gloves.

Remy just nodded before noticing the food on the bed side table. "dat fo' me?" he asked pointing to it.

Rogue nodded as she picked up the food and handed it to him. Remy tried to sit up but winced as his chest was still sore. She placed the food at the end of the bed and helped him sit up before handing the food back to him.

Remy thanked her before he took a bite of the sandwich as Rogue watched making sure he was ok.

Then something came to her mind. Where was she going to sleep? With Remy still in her bed and since Kitty had moved into her own room and taken her bed with her. Rogue had no idea.

Remy all the while just kept on eating. When the exact same thing came to his mind. Sure he had a few ideas, but with Rogue's no touching thing they wouldn't work. He swallowed his last bite before asking the question.

"So chere… where are y' gonna sleep t'night?"

Rogue just shrugged her shoulders, before she remembered. She kept a blow up mattress in the closet for when her friend Risty stayed the night.

"Don't worry about meh swamp rat… ah know what amh doin'"

Remy replied with a shrug of his own and returned to eating his sandwich. While watching Rogue set up the mattress on the floor.

Once they where both done with what they were doing. Remy lay himself back down and prepared to return to sleep. But before he did he had one last thing to say.

"Night chere"

"Good night Remy" Rogue whispered as she added the pillow and sheets to the air bed. She lay down onto the air cushion and tried to get to sleep but there was only one thought on her mind.

She could touch Remy.
