He'd met the girl three months ago in the Thieves Guild's favorite meeting place, a local club that all of New Orleans that knew such things knew belonged to a retired Thief. She'd been looking for a change of pace, she said, getting over the Cure gone wrong, not that she ever told anybody what her mutation was.
Fic: Pretending
Oct. 27th, 2011 02:16 pmTitle: Pretending
Summary: So what if Ah want ta pretend Ah can keep him? So what? Rogue/Gambit angsty one-shot
A/N: Blame this onwhipsy. I wasn't expecting something this ouch. Sequel to Lonely.
Shut up, Samuel. Ah nevah asked your opinion.
But, girl, that's exactly what you've been doing.
Rogue tried to shrug it off and laid her head on Remy's shoulder. His hands tightened in response, and it felt so good. Dance first. Think later. They'd been dancing for weeks now, and there was a part of her that was starting to wonder if she ought to be thinking.
Of course, voices in her head aside, that part of her had an external face and grumpy attitude, and his name was Logan.
Darlin', I understand you're hurting and you're lonely, but you're playing with a man as lonely as you are. And when two lonely people forget the reason why they are, bad things usually happen.
Bad things like adultery, divorce, being the very kind of bad girl her mother always warned her not to be.
"Y' doin' okay?" Remy asked her quietly.
She nodded, held on a little tighter.
So what if Ah want ta pretend Ah can keep him? So what?
Bobby had been in a coma for years from the unexpected return of her powers. Belladonna had not even seen Remy for longer. Who really cared if they were both married?
Rogue cared. Somewhere. Somewhere where she wasn't pretending.
"Just keep dancin', sugah," she whispered, like a sigh.
She was grateful that Remy said nothing, just pretended he believed her and held her close.

Summary: They pretend they aren't two of the loneliest people in the world. Rogue/Remy
He pretends he hasn't been exiled from his wife for the last ten years. She pretends her husband hasn't been in a coma for the last seven.
They pretend they aren't two of the loneliest people in the world.
She laughs over her Starbucks frappaccino. He smiles over his diner black.
If their eyes linger too long on each other's hands, eyes, and mouths, neither admits it. If his hand brushes her shoulder when he helps her out of her chair, neither comments. If they dance too close, too slow, and too long and wish this world wasn't pretend...
Well.

I should have resisted. But nobody had up claims for X-Men: Movieverse Rogue/Gambit in one or General Series in the other. So...maybe I'm crazy.

Remy LeBeau steps into the diner in a poor mood. He's sopping wet from the falling rain outside and his street map is now a blurry mass of running ink. He throws the useless piece of paper on the edge of a corner table and sits down behind it to run his hands through his hair and try to rack some sort of idea of what he's doing and where he's going out of his brains. More fool him for thinking the map would give him a hint of a direction.

Rogue woke in the slight moonlight streaming in through the blinds to land on the bed she and Bobby were sharing. Her heart slammed in her chest. Her skin was sweaty. The covers twisted between them both and he had clearly woken with her as he stared at her, propped up on one elbow.
