Chapter 5

'It's soft. It's warm. I don't want it to end.' Rogue thought, more so dreamed. He felt something nice and warm touch him. 'Must be a dream.' He thought.

No it was not a dream. So when the nice touch he felt move away, his dreamed shattered into millions of pieces. It was now very dark, he reached his hand out into the darkness.

Not realizing that he had opened his eyes and grab onto something, he fell. He heard a yelp and a loud thud in his office. His dark eyes met brown, chocolate eyes. At first he was confused as to why the pair of eyes he saw were shocked, then slowly realized that their lips had met.

They stayed like that for another full minute, their body not moving one inch, until reality hit them and regained cautious, Rogue immediately got off of the blonde girl and moved away. Lucy, still stunned, sat there on the floor. Her face beat red.

Not wanting to look up to meet a certain someone's eyes, Lucy immediately stood up and walked away to the door. She closed the door lightly and walked to the elevator.

Rogue, who also had a blush across his face, only stood there. Watching as Lucy stood up and walked away, closing the door ever so lightly. He turned his chair to sit down but instead fell butt flat onto the floor.

"What the hell just happened?" he questioned himself, his right hand now on his head. He got up and left, not wanting to think about anything at the moment.

Lucy walked aimlessly in the dark streets. Too dazed to be looking ahead of herself.

'I can't believe something like that happened.' Lucy thought. She stopped walking. Reached her right hand up to her face. Her fingers ever so lightly touched her lips. 'The kiss… It was nice and warm.' She thought. Then she inwardly slapped herself. 'What the hell am I thinking?!' Lucy started walking again, but her mind wandered back to the kiss.

Not knowing that it was now 10:15 at night, Lucy didn't pay attention to anything at all. Too stuck up on the kiss that happened 10 minutes ago. She bumped into someone and didn't even notice. She kept walking.

"Oi. You bumped into me." a thug-like voice said. Lucy didn't hear. "Heyy. Blondie. Did'ya hear me?!" He said. Still being ignored, he reached out his hand and grab Lucy's shoulder. Lucy feeling a hand on her shoulder, stiffened. She then took the hand and flipped him onto his back.

"Who the hell are you?!" She yelled. The man stood up.

"Well, well… Blondie here knows how to use her hands." the man smirked.

Lucy felt a chill go up her spine. She shivered. 'Of course I can defend myself. Otou-Sama made me learn how to defend myself. Though I stopped after 2 months.' She didn't care and walked away.

"Hey, hey. You're beautiful. Wanna come play with me?" He asked as he stood in front of her. They were by the intersection of a traffic light.

"No!" she said. "Leave me alone you asshole." she hissed.

His smirk was now gone. He reached to grab her wrist. "Come on."

"I said no! Let me go!" Lucy panicked. She tried to pry his hand off of her.

"Stop moving. I just want to have some fun with you." he said grinning.

Lucy was now definitely and officially scared. 'Why did this need to happen to me?!' She cried in her mind. 'Mama… I'm scared.' She cried inside. Even if she looked tough on the outside, really inside she was weak. She felt stupid, sad and lifeless.

'Is this the end of me?' She thought, her eyes shut tight, not wanting to open them. She knew. That if she opened her eyes, tears would appear.

She didn't want to look weak in front of a complete stranger. No. She didn't. She wanted to be somewhere nice and warm. In someone's embrace. But she knew. She knew she had no one.

"Hey… Get your dirty hand off of her." a soothing voice was heard from her right.

"Huuh?! Who are you?!" the man asked.

"I said to get your dirty hand off of her." she knew this voice. But she didn't want to open her eyes.

"Tch. I don't know who you are… But I won't let her go. She is a BEAUTY. Big bust. Nice curves. Wait until she screams. Her moa-" the man grinned.

He was cut off by a kick on the side of his stomach. "Damn you!" the man yelled. He got up and ran to Rogue. Yes, it was Rogue.

Rogue punched his right side of the face. The man stepped back. Blood dripping from his lips. "You bastard!" the man yelled at Rogue. He grab Rogue's collar shirt and kneed him in the stomach. Rogue fell down. The man walked to Lucy and grab her hand. Lucy resisted him.

"Let me go!" she screamed. Her eyes open now. She kept wiggling her arm, trying to make the man let her go. She kicked him in the shin and he pushed her into the streets. She fell onto her butt.

Rogue got up. He saw Lucy on the ground in the middle of the streets. He heard a honk. Turning his head, he saw a truck. 'It won't stop in time.' He thought.

"LUCY!" He yelled. She looked at him as she heard him yell her name. He was looking at something. She then noticed a bright light from the corner of her right eye.

Her eyes widened, she acted fast, she stood up and tried to run away. But she was scared. Her legs wouldn't move. Her lips quivered. 'Why aren't my legs moving?! Move god damn it!' She thought. She looked directly into the light. 'MOVE!' She screamed. She couldn't.

She stood there not moving. Rogue got up. He saw her trembling. She was scared. He ran. As fast as he could. "LUCY!" he yelled. He reached both arms out. He ran into her. Wrapping his arm around her tiny body. Her scared and trembling body. Then he thought, 'Ahh… What am I doing? I don't even care for this girl.'

The truck honk. The longest honk there was. It drove pass by. The man harassing Lucy was long gone. He wasn't there anymore. He was scared he would take the blame of everything. The bodies on the floor. Not moving an inch. Lucy on top of Rogue.

She opened her eyes. 'Am I dead?' was the first thing she thought. No. She wasn't. Instead she felt arms around her. Large string arms. She lifted her head up. Her eyes widened. Tears forming in her eyes.

"R-Rogue… Hey…" she said quietly. He wasn't moving. "I- I'm scared. Someone." she said a bit louder. "P-phone," as she trembled to reach into her pocket to get her phone. "R-Rogue!" she said in her normal voice now. She sat up. "P-please… D-don't die," she started to panic. She was now crying.

Darkness. That was what he saw. He slowly stirred his eyes open. 'What the hell happened?' he asked himself. His head hurt like hell. He looked around. He saw street lights and it was dark. Everything was blurry at first so he closed his eyes for a bit then opened them again. He heard sniffling. He lifted his head a little, even though it hurt, and saw blonde hair.

"L-Lucy?" he said. She slowly looked up. She met his eyes in an instant. 'What exactly happened again?' He thought to himself. Than instantly, images of how ever long ago came up into his head. A guy was harassing Lucy. He tried to beat him up. Lucy was pushed into the street. And then a truck was driving by. She stood there.

Lucy on the other hand looked up to see that he was still alive. 'Thank god!' She cried happily in her mind. "Rogue… Are yo-"

"What were you thinking?!" he yelled suddenly at her, not bothering to let her finish her sentence. "Why did you stand there?! Why didn't you run?!" he was now sitting up. He grab both her shoulders. Shaking her a bit, but stopped. "Were you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Lucy sat there. She cried. His yelling made her cry. "No! I was scared. I couldn't move because… I… was… scared… They didn't move. My legs didn't move. Even if I wanted them to move they wouldn't obey me!" she yelled back.

Rogue looked into her eyes. He could see many emotions in them. Fear. Happiness. Sadness. Stupid. Everything. She wouldn't stop crying. He then heard a mumble.

"What?" he said.

"I'm sorry." he heard her whisper. "I'm sorry… so… so… sorry…" she sobbed out.

"Stop it," he quietly said.

"I'm sorry… For not moving… For not running… You got hurt… Because of me…" she said. "I'm sorry." she cried out. Her head was down. Her hair was blocking her face. Eyes shut tight.

"Shut up," he said. She continued to apologize. She wouldn't stop. So instead he took the initiate. Rogue grab her. He wrapped his arms around her.

She was shoved into a tight embrace. Her crying and sniffing was muffled by his clothes. She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." she said again.

"Don't be sorry… Just don't ever stand there. Ever again. I don't want to see someone do that again. Ever. So run next time." he whispered to her. His face was now in her hair. They stayed like that for another 5 minutes.

~TO BE CONTINUED~
