"...Chere?"

Rouge's dreamless sleep was suddenly interrupted by that dreadful word. It had to be his favorite word for he ALWAYS used it whether it was for her or for any girl over the age of 18. It was a soft soft way that the dreaded word had been spoken that caused her to stir from her slumber.

At first she rejected the idea that she had actually heard the word, that her mind had merely begun to play tricks on her once again. Rogue had pulled the trench coat closer to her and attempted to go back to sleep, but her plans were foiled by a pair of large arms picking her up.

"AH!!!" Rogue yelped her eyes opening in shock and fear as she found her self sitting on some man's lap.

"Shhhhh...chere. Remy b' here now." the man cooed as he gently placed his chin a top head.

Rogue's body instantly relaxed and softened once he spoke. His accent instantly proving it to be the real Cajun, that and the fact that he smelled strongly of rain water, cigarettes, and of his usual mix of Cajun spices that Rogue loved. As her head came out of the trench coat Rogue found her self unable to look up at his face, so she simply settled for resting her head over his heart.

"Why?" Rogue managed to croak out after a few minutes with her head against his chest.

"Why what chere?"

"Why, did ja leave meh?"

Remy was dumbstruck. Why would she care if he left? He thought she knew that he loved her and only her? That she was his home. The place that he would always return, too. Dead or alive.

"I thought ya would b' saf'a here. And I thought ya woul'd wait fer dis Cajun."

Rogue was silent for the longest time, the only thing she did was curl closer to his chest. Her heart swelled with joy that it was just her over reacting, since this hadn't been the first time he had just up and left.

"Ya didn't te'l meh Rems," Rogue said slowly looking up into his red on black eyes, "Ya alw'ys te'l meh when ya b'eh leav'in."

"I'm sorry chere....Remy give ya his promise! I will NEVER leave without tel'in mon belle firs't." Remy stated before leaning down and capturing her lips.

It wasn't a passionate kiss like the others they had shared, it was a calm reassuring kiss. One that told each party that they were treasured and cherished to the point that they would never venture into that shared lonesome darkness ever again.

"Hey...Remy." Rogue said after a few minutes to catch her breath.

"Hmm, chere?"

"Yeah finally dropped the third person!"

"Oui, Belle. Remy drops his third person when he be'in serious." Remy explained before he kissed Rogue's forehead.

"Ah like dat." Rogue said soft her hand coming up to touch Remy's cheek, before falling to his shirt.

"Chere?" Remy asked alarm

His alarm was short lived when he saw Rogue's closed eyes, felt her soft breath and light heartbeat. Remy sighed unwilling once again to wake his chere, so he simply sat there in the closet with her on his lap and slept along with her.

--With the others--

"I don't see her anywhere!" Alice called over the light rain.

"Yeah nothing at all." Icarus confirmed as he and Alice landed before Angel and the Professor.

"We best go and see how Remy's faring then." the Professor said with a soft smile, as the winged trio lifted him and his wheelchair up into the air and up to the balcony just as the rain began to stop.

Alice made sure he was safe before whipping around and entering the room. The 18 year old girl fell to her knees as she entered the dark room that was completely empty of life. Angel feeling her distress came running into the room, leaving Icarus to roll the Professor into the room.

"He's gone."Alice whimpered as she cried into Angel's chest.

"Shhh it'll be all right." Angel said in an attempt to comfort her.

"Ah, but look." the Professor whispered softly as he pointed toward the closet.

The winged trio turned to see Shields sitting before the half open sliding doors, panting happily. Alice stood and slowly made her way toward the closet. The puppy gladly moved aside trotting happily to the Professor's side.

Alice peered into the closet and gasped softly, causing Angel and Icarus to rush to her side. The trio peered into the closet and spotted the couple easily in the back of the closet sleeping. Rogue was sleeping soundly on Remy's lap with her head under his chin, while wrapped in one of his many trench coats.

"Awww" Alice cooed softly before backing away, pulling the other two with her.

"Well I guess we should tell Logan to call of the search then." Icarus said before turning and racing out of the room to the balcony and taking off to find Logan, just as the sun began to peek over the horizon.v

"Well I don't know about you but I'm going to find a camera." Alice said with an evil smile as she turned and flew out into the hall.

Alice returned seconds later with three cameras dangling from her arm. She stalked up to the closet and quickly began snapping, non-flash, photos of the sleeping couple. Angel and the Professor laugh lightly at the girls antics, that was until the third camera's flash went off waking the old thief with in the closet. Alice squeaked before half flying half running behind the Professor and Angel who were now laughing loudly.

"Well Well Remy I see that you have indeed found your Rogue." The Professor said with a smile as the two southerners came out of their closet, Rogue still had the trench coat draped over her shoulders.

"Ya, Remy found his chere," Remy stated to the Professor before turning to Angel and Alice, "And now Remy and his chere would like ta have do'es cam'as now petite."

"Ah....No...." Alice stated quickly before dashing out of the room via the balcony.

Fortunately for Alice Logan and Icarus had walked into the room just as she left. The Wolverine quickly came up to Rogue and wrapped her up in a bear hug, inhaling her as he did.

"So that was it. Ya were in Gumbo's cloths." Logan stated gruffly with a chuckle.

"Yeah," Rogue said softly as she pulled away from Logan and retreated back in Remy's arms.

"Well then I believe we shall leave you all to yourselves." the Professor stated to the others before leading the way out of the room leaving the couple standing in the room alone with the dawn's red light playing of their backs.

"Chere."

"Yeah, Swampy?"

"Can we go ta bed?"

"Sure Rems." Rogue said with a sigh as she walked to the balcony and closed the curtains and balcony doors, before joining Remy on the bed.

"Ah thought ya never ask." Rogue sighed as she fell to sleeps call in his arms once again.
