sleeping on the job! ( open. )

[beckii]

Charles Xavier's door was closed. It was three am in the morning, and the main light of the room was still on lighting up the room. The television screens showing all the security cameras' view points were always on, and still on right now, watching the silent night in the mansion. Everyone was asleep probably. Chinese boxes were on the floor by the desk and on top of the desk. The computer was on. There was files and stacks of papers on the desk. It was clear that someone had been in the middle of checking inventory and putting in orders for food and other supplies the mansion needed. The curtains will still open so the moonlight flooded in through the window. Stars shimmered in the pitch black sky. No clouds were around tonight. It was peaceful and everyone was safe. Upon a certain order form a pair of slender arms were folded over it and a head laid upon it. A soft quiet hum could be heard from the lips upon the feminine head.

The woman was asleep, her flame red hair and white streaks resting wildly on the desk and over her shoulders. A small drop of drool was on the corner of her mouth. A pen was still inside her right hand. Rogue had checked through the classes today, making sure all students and teachers were alright, before teaching her own classes. The day had been busy, and when she hadn't been doing any of that she had been checking the security to see what she could improve on to make sure no one else intruded on the property. She managed to occassionally pick at food during the day. When the 'school' day had ended, Rogue had headed to the office to order what they were going to run out of in the next two weeks as well as check up on what else she would need to be doing. Honestly, she had never thought about what Xavier did to run this school, but now she was doing it she had a far new appreciation for the man. How he did all this she had no idea.

Eventually, around one am, Rogue had fallen asleep in the middle of filling in one of the order forms. Right now Rogue was dreaming of Remy. They were on the beach, the sun was out, he was topless, with a simple pair of black trousers on, and his red eyes were out. She was in a white dress that resembled the one Sookie Stackhouse wore the night she first met at Eric at Fangtasia. They were making out passionately as Remy's hand caressed every inch of her. He was just about to take off her dress when someone else's voice began calling her. Frowning, Rogue soon felt herself being poked, and reluctantly opened her eyes as she slowly left her dream to come back to the real world. Blinking, she lifted her head groggily to look up at who had bothered her. Her gaze noticed the time however on the way to doing so. Three am! She looked at the clock in shock before looking at the person in the room with her.

"Its three am... What are ya doing up?"

Westchester School. It had been a week since Remy tucked away into the cab of Rogue's rented pick up truck and came with her here to the school. Upon first arrival, he cracked another joke about the place being a prep school, though as he listened around the halls all the students seemed to refer to it as 'Mutant High'. He liked it here, though New Orleans still held a place in his heart. It reminded him of one of the old french castles he use to explore with his father when they went to Paris or a little ways into England's country side. It was massive, bigger than his plantation home, but he liked the vibe it gave off. It seemed welcoming, not at all hostile like most of the bars down in New Orleans. The only thing that bothered him was it was clean, almost sterile like a hospital might be.

Remy LeBeau laid across Rogue's bed. Sleeping was never an issue with him, but tonight his mind seemed to wander aimlessly. Thoughts poured in and out of his brain, mostly about the Guild and his home back down in New Orleans. Beside him laid a note he was suppose to have sent off when he arrived, but Marie seemed to keep him tied up and all to herself, not that he didn't mind that of course. Glancing over at the letter, he picked it up and read it out in his mind. 'Dear Allain. Enclosed is 'de deed to the house that my father had raised me in. I want you to have it to run the Thieves Guild's operations out of. The address is listed on the deed as well as any other information about the hallways and weapon stashes that lay about in the place. Thank you old friend for looking out for me over the years. I hope to visit soon.....' At the end he wrote Gambit instead of his normal name, knowing that if the wrong hands got a hold of this letter, then there would be a mess of trouble.

Reading that took a good few moments off of Remy's mind, but yet it still turned with more and more thoughts. Getting up, he slid on his trench coat and went to the window, opening it up before climbing out. He wanted to see Marie. She always had a way of taking his mind off things, and he needed that now more than ever so far. Finding little finger holds to latch on to, Gambit made his way across the stone walls of the school until he reached the window to Xavier's office. Rogue had recently filled in for the Professor after they had arrived, hearing that he was in a coma from a recent invasion of the school. Taking out a playing card, he ran it down the crack of the window until he heard a click. Remy then proceeded to push it open and take a seat on the window seal.

Crimson eyes gazed down upon firey red hair, causing him to smile. There on the desk laid Rogue's head, her mind gone into the realm of dreams that he longed to join. Taking out his staff, which compacted to fit in his pocket, he extended it just a bit to nudge her from the window. "Chéri?" He spoke up in his accent as he nudged her again. "Wake up, sleepy." About the time he said that her head rose slowly and he chuckled a bit, drawing back his staff and placing it in his coat pocket.

"Its three am... What are ya doing up?" She spoke.

"I couldn't sleep. And you were starting to drool on 'de paper work you gots there, so I woke ya up." Remy replied with a chuckle.

Seeing Remy on the window ledge Rogue couldn't help but smile. It was almost like she was the princess trapped in the tower and he was the sexy as hell rogue theif come to steal her away. Yawning, Rogue stretched her arms above her body, stretching her lithe body out before letting her arms fall back down to her sides. She glanced at the desk and decided she just didn't have the energy to continue with the work or clear the desk right now. She would start again tomorrow. Pushing the chair back away from the desk Rogue then stood up before padding over to Remy. She stood infront of him with a soft smile. She felt this urge to kiss him, but resisted temptation. Remy had said he wanted to take this slow, so she told herself she would wait for Remy to make the first move. Besides, she was having so much fun with him. It was only when they had intimate moments like this that she wanted to kiss him. The rest of the time she was simply happy to be in his company.

"So, prince charming, what shall we do this morning? Ah don't expect ya dressed like that to take me back to bed."

Rogue teased, only to blush moments later when she implied they should fall asleep together. Why could she not stop these kind of thoughts? She had never had them before. Of course she wanted to sleep in his arms in an innocent way, but she had never thought about sharing her bed before. Remy was definately something else. There seemed to be definate chemistry between them. Rogue, of course, was trying to keep his spare time with her. She didn't mean to be possessive or selfish but she saw the way the girls looked at him. It was as if they lived in a desert all their lives and he was a bottle of water. She didn't think Remy had noticed spending most of her time with him so he didn't have time to spend it with anyone else. Rogue would be embarassed if she thought he had. He never seemed to complain though spending time with her. Infact they hung out a lot in her bedroom in the evenings when they weren't outside getting up to mischief.

"Oh! Remy can ya ride a horse?"

Rogue suddenly remembered the other day Bobby had shown there were stables on the property. She really wanted to learn how to ride, but Bobby didn't know how, and she wasn't sure she could ask anyone else at the mansion. She was extremely shy and concerned that no one would want to be near her to teach her. She doubted Logan knew how either. She didn't see him and animals getting on well at all. She surpressed a giggle at that thought. With her gloves on she entwined her fingers with Remy's free hand. She felt so comfortable around him. All her stress and problems disappeared when he was around. If she didn't know any better she would have thought that was his mutant ability. Looking up into his red eyes she couldn't help but smile happily. She squeezed his hand softly as she pressed herself as close as possible to the window and Remy. She was definately glad everyone else was asleep.

[jayy]

Remy grinned brightly as Rogue gave off a sleepy smile in his direction. Crimson eyes watched as she got up from her station and stretched before waking slowly over to him, standing right in front of him. Remy took his hands and placed them on her shoulders chuckling softly as she spoke up. He chuckled more when she called him prince charming and then began to ask what they should do this morning. "I actually have no idea, darlin'." He spoke up. It was too early in the morning to really do anything now that Remy thought about it. "Nah," He began to reply again, "I only did this cause I thought being in meh birthday suit would be a bit too much." Remy said with a wink and then a round of laughter.

They had joked on and off about them actually doing something a bit more intimate, and Remy seemed to be the main one dishing out those comments. He couldn't help it though. It had been awhile since he had anything happen to him relationship wise and with this new one brought before him he knew he would never have an extended physical relationship with the girl. Not that he didn't mind though, there was something about her that just caught his attention all the time, something that told him not to let go down in the pit of his stomach. Chuckling at his thoughts, he listened again as Rogue spoke up.

"Oh! Remy can ya ride a horse?" She asked him.

"Ah! Well yes, yes I can, chéri. Though I have to warn you, it had been a little while. Remy replied with a chuckle. He use to go horseback riding with the daughter of the assassin's guild leader back when he was younger. She would come over and spend countless hours playing with him, and he enjoyed it. Growing up, he didn't have many friends cause of his eyes, but when he learned to control them during his teenage years, the friend spectrum seemed to go back up a bit. His mind was jerked out of their thoughts as Marie reached up and grabbed his hand, entwining her fingers with his.

"So. Where are 'de stables?"

Rogue blushed bright red when Remy mentioned being naked. She hadn't seen him naked yet but she was sure it was a glorious sight. A part of her was relieved she hadn't because if she did she didn't know if she could stop herself from touching him. It was already taking all her self control ( and continually telling herself she could kill him ) from touching him and kissing with all the passion she had in her soul. Even if it would be so worth the feelings of pleasure he could give her, Rogue did not want to hurt Remy. With Bobby she had never felt a deep desperate need to touch him like she was for Remy. She couldn't understand it, and honestly, she liked the feeling as well. She just wished she could touch him and let out all her feelings. Biting her bottom lip she forced herself to get rid of the passionate thoughts she was having of Remy. Perhaps she would just get the cure for a few weeks of being able to touch Remy. She knew the cure was only temporary now but to get to touch Remy... Well it would definately be worth it. She could tell.

"Don't ya mean being in your birthday suit would be a bit too less?"

Rogue managed to tease him, despite still blushing. God, now ah can't get the thought of him dripping wet with just a towel around his waist, fresh from the shower, now. Damn it. Ahm gonna have to see that for real. Rogue thought, annoyed at herself, and of course severely aroused. She had never felt more like a woman then she did right then. Before Remy she had always felt like a girl. She had never felt such intense feelings, and honestly, right now she was revelling in them. When Remy mentioned he could ride her whole face lit up. Without thinking she leapt at him, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck in excitement. Forgetting entirely about her ability, she began showering short kisses all over his face. Right then she just felt like an ordinary girl. It was a few seconds later before she remembered and stopped what she was doing, looking ashamed, guilty, and dreadful.

"God! Ahm so so sorry. Ah forgot... Ahm so so sorry..."

She pleaded, begging for forgiveness. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been. Reluctantly she let go of him, not trusting herself right now, as she glanced at her feet in shame. She couldn't believe she had just forgotten. She had never had that happen before. Her first kiss didn't count since she didn't have the ability until right then. She mentally chastised herself over and over again. It wasn't until a few minutes later she remembered he had asked her about where the stables were. Biting her bottom lip she quietly and carefully climbed out the window Remy was hanging in, before jumping to the ground. She looked around, gaining her bearings, before spotting the barn not too far away. It was near the lake. Glancing back at Remy she couldn't help but give a small smile. He always made her feel better. Even if she had been so awful to him. She hated herself for what she had done.

"They're over there."

Rogue pointed.

[jayy]

"Don't ya mean being in your birthday suit would be a bit too less?" Marie had spoke, teasing him a bit.

Remy chuckled as he saw her face flash a bright scarlet. "Well, you get 'de picture I see." He said, teasing her back because of her blushing. His head spun with thoughts and images of them two together. It was enough to make him lose control right then and there, but doing what he thought in Xavier's office might not be a pretty site for the boss when her returned. Chuckling at his own thoughts, he crossed his legs a bit. Oh Remy, my boy. You have become very bad with yer old age He thought, and then it hit him. He never bothered to see how old she was. He knew he was 24 for, going on 25 next month, but for all he knew she could be just turning 18. The thought made his heart pound just a bit. He couldn't bear to think that this woman, the one he was so helplessly falling in love with, was only 18. Sure age didn't matter, but he didn't know what kind of reputation she, or him, might get because of it.

His mind cleared for a brief moment, only to have Rogue come and jump on him like she had done many times since they met. "Woah!" He called out as they both began to go over the edge of the window. Remy held out his hand and grabbed a hold of the window ledge as they both went out it. He stopped them from going completely out, but they hung parallel to the ground. Then she began to shower kisses all over his face. The first couple were fine, but the next few seemed to weaken him and they went back farther. When she stopped, Remy's strength returned and he pulled them back inside the office.

Marie apologized, hoping that he would forgive her. Chuckling, he replied. "It's not a problem, mon chéri. In fact, I rather enjoyed it." Chuckling even more, he gave her a sly wink before she got off him.

A few minutes of silence went by as Marie kept her head down looking ashamed. Remy wanted to say something to her, but he was at loss for words at the moment. Finally, she moved toward the window and jumped out. Remy grinned and let go of the window edge, his body falling backwards. He went out the window backwards and landed on his feet, before turning around and hearing her state where the stables were. "Well, what are we waiting for?" He said with a grin before starting to walk towards them.

"Remy... ah just wanna say ahm sorry again. You make me feel... so normal, and like a woman, not a girl. Ah've never felt most of these feelings an' ah... Sometimes ah forget meh ability around ya... Sometimes it takes all meh self control not to touch ya... Ahm so sorry ah hurt ya. Ah never want to hurt ya, and ah know ah shouldn't be selfish and let ya go, but ah can't. Ah wanna keep ya, and ah guess ahm sorry for dooming you to a pretty much no contact relationship."

Rogue explained, finally getting out a lot off her chest. She hadn't meant to say so much but god did she feel good now that she had. She exhaled deeply, eyes closed as she tilted her head back so her face was pointed towards the starlit sky. Yes, she felt a lot better now. Briefly she looked in her head for Remy, and found he was infact there. So her kisses had hurt him. He wasn't as strong as all her other psyches, but he was still there. There was probably a few faint memories there but she wasn't looking for them. She felt a tingling in her hands and opened her eyes. She frowned as she saw her gloves were glowing a magenta colour. What was Remy's power again? She couldn't remember it. She had seen him light up a cigarette with just his fingers, but she hadn't seen flames, so it couldn't be anything to do with fire like Pyro. She looked at Remy in confusion.

"Uh... what was ya power again Remy?"

She asked, not even realising that her gloves could explode any moment due to his power. The tingling didn't feel that strong, but then again she hadn't touched Remy all that long so she supposed that was why. Rogue had ended up blushing a little when Remy mentioned he had enjoyed it. She didn't know how he could enjoy it. No one had ever enjoyed it when she touched them with her bare skin. Even Bobby had seemed to flinch during their brief kisses. It was confusing to her. Remy was unlike any guy she had ever met. Any person she had ever met, at that rate. He was always doing the unexpected around her, and she couldn't help but love that. She could really just be herself and he liked it. She knew they hadn't known each other for that long but she was pretty sure she was falling in love with him. Rogue couldn't help but smile a little at that thought. Yep. Remy has ruined meh for all other men. She thought with amusement.

Rogue quickly jogged up to Remy's side as he made his way towards the barn. She ignored, and all be it forgot, that her gloves were glowing magenta as she walked by his side. Remy definately looked breathtaking by moonlight. Could he ever look anything other then sexy? Rogue didn't think so. She couldn't help but walk close by his side. She wanted to hold his hand but she wasn't sure he would want to after touching him earlier with her skin. It wasn't long before they were at the barn. She found herself staring at the horses in the paddock beside it. Most were sleeping, but a few were grazing, and another few were frolicking a little. It was definately a heart warming site. It made her remember the south more looking at them. She returned her gaze to Remy with a bright smile. She was already cheered up after the incident earlier, but she couldn't help but still feel a little bad about the whole thing.

[jayy]

Remy couldn't help but grin a bit as Marie began to fall back into another apology, even leading to state how he made her feel and that she had doomed him to a no touch relationship. "I already told 'ya, darlin'...It's fine. Now can we quit worrying about 'de fact you kissed me and have some fun?" He grinned brightly at the end and began to chuckle a bit. Marie was such a great girl, but Remy always thought she was too hard on herself because of her powers. It wasn't her fault she was born with them or anything, but whenever she starts to let loose and have fun, she thinks she does something wrong and goes back into her shell. He was going to have to change this hopefully.

"Uh... what was ya power again Remy?" Rogue asked him. Remy turned his head to look at her and chuckled. "Molecular manipulation...wh-" But just as he was about to ask why he looked down and saw her hands glowing a nice magenta color."Here chéri, let me get 'dat." He said, stopping his walk real quick to grab bother her hands with his own. After a moment the color faded and disappeared entirely. "Ta-da!" He spoke with a chuckle before letting her hands go and walking back towards the stables once again.

It didn't take them much longer to reach the stables, only a short minute walk through the grass that stood on the lawn. Inside the place was as clean as a whistle, which to Remy was odd. Most horse stables he had been at had always had a at least a little mess to them, but he figured Xavier must like to keep his shit together, no pun intended. He began to look at all the horse through their cages. Some of them were sleeping, others were walking about slightly in their cages, awaiting the dawn to set its gaze across the landscape. Turning to Marie, he saw her looking as well at the horses, watching them for a few moments before she caught his gaze and turned to face him with a smile.

"So. What shall we do now?" He asked with a chuckle.

Rogue couldn't help but smile softly as Remy took her hands. She watched them as gradually the magenta colour faded away. Whatever he did, she thought it was incredible. She would have to learn more about his power later and how it worked. It looked so fascinating. Plus, Rogue wanted to know everything she could about Remy. She wanted to know everything about him. Rogue smiled softly when Remy as done and looped her arm through Remy's as she rested her head against his shoulder. It felt like they were just a normal couple. She loved the pet names Remy called her by. Especially cherie or cher. She didn't know what they meant but it definately made her skin and heart tingle in a very good way when he did call her by them. She glanced up at Remy and admired how the moonlight made Remy's natural beauty look even more ethereal. Yes, this is where she wanted to be. This was where she was meant to be. Rogue had always hoped something like fate exsisted. She had used to dream of fairy tales and white knights. What little girl wouldn't? Over the past few years Rogue had stopped believeing. However, after meeting Remy she decided fate must exsist. It almost felt like she was made for Remy and he was made for her. Of course she didn't know yet why, if made for Remy, she had been given the power she had. Rogue supposed she would figure it out eventually.

It was a shame all the horses seemed to be asleep when they got there. Rogue had ended up by the paddock, no longer draped over Remy's arm, when they got there. Hearing him speak she turned to look at him with a happy smile before drifting over to him. She was definately sure she felt a pull towards him whether or not he was aware of it. He overwhelmed her in all the best ways. She placed her small hands upon his muscular chest as she stared up into his beautiful red eyes. She had never seen anything so beautiful. He was definately a god among men - at least in her opinion. Unable to help herself she lifted a hand to run it through his brown hair. It wasn't short or long but in the middle, and god, his hair felt so luxuriously soft. She was so tempted to twirl it around in her fingers but managed to refrain. Her body seemed to hum - happily - when she was around Remy. Now she had met him it felt when she wasn't around him she wasn't whole. Of course Rogue stopped herself from saying all this to Remy. She didn't want to scare him off. She'd keep it a secret forever it meant keeping him by her side.

"Since the horses are asleep, maybe ah should ride you instead."

Rogue spoke seductively. It took a few seconds before she realised her words could be taken in a sexual way and ended up blushing bright red. Not that she didn't want to do that, but unfortunately, she couldn't do that without clothing. Sure, she could do it with clothing but she had the feeling it just wouldn't be the same. Rogue found herself fantasising about it a little before she realised what she was doing. Blushing more she forced her thoughts out of the gutter. Rogue had never thought she could have such a dirty mind or be so sexual. Clearly she was wrong. She just needed the right guy to bring it out in her. Now she just needed handcuffs to stop herself from getting carried away so much she ended up touching him. Then again, she doubted a pair of handcuffs would stop her. It would probably just end up as an obstacle, plain and simple. Biting her bottom lip she glanced back up at Remy shyly.

"Ah meant a piggyback..."
