There were times when Scott Summers hated being an orphan. Granted, he knew things could be worse: he could be living on the streets, he could be stuck in an abusive home, he could be dead at the hands of anti-mutant zealots. As it was, he was surrounded by friends, knew he had family and could call Alex just about anytime he wanted, lived in a mansion, and occasionally got to save the world. However, with Xavier's Institute closed for Spring Break, pretty much all of his friends had gone to their respective families and he was stuck in the mansion alone for a whole week and a half. The Professor had gone down to Argentina for a conference on Mutant's Rights in the Third World, taking Hank and Logan with him for protection if it was necessary and Ororo had taken Evan back home to spend a week with her sister , which meant that all of the adults were gone. Fortunately the automated defense systems of the mansion and his own fighting skill meant that anything short of a full scale attack could be handled with little fuss. Unfortunately it meant that he was bored out of his mind.
"Ok", he said to himself, running his hands through his brown hair in frustration, "What do normal teens do on Spring Break? Worry about the next life threatening situation that will pop up..or relax?" The answer was obvious, even to someone as straight laced and as much a worrier as himself. *But how?* he thought; drinking was out, even if there was any alcohol at the institute, which he was pretty sure there wasn't. The thought hit him as he completed his twenty-seventh circle around his room. *The new hot tub..I could always take a nice relaxing dip in that * Scott smiled, his dilemma temporarily solved as he rummaged through his dresser, finally pulling out a pair of bright blue swim trunks. He then grabbed a towel from his closet and headed down into the basement's men's room, which was connected to the pool area, to shower and change into his swim suit.
Exiting the men's room Scott was slightly shocked to see that he wasn't as alone as he thought in the mansion, and that someone had had the same idea that he did. The figure sitting in the hot tub had her back to him, but he could very clearly tell that it was female from the vibrant green bikini straps over her soft shoulders and around her back. * Wonder who that is * he thought. His silent inquiry was answered as the figure brushed her auburn hair back, revealing a few white strands at the front. * Rogue?! * he thought, shocked, * what's she still doing here? And where did she get a bikini?*. Intending to find out, he quietly snuck up behind her, " Hey, is that seat taken?" Rogue quickly whipped around to face the voice behind her, her green eyes flashing with surprise "God Scott, don't do that! You nearly scared me half to death!," Scott barely managed to suppress a grin as he asked again, "Is that seat taken?", indicating a spot not too far from her. "Naw" Rogue replied, " go right ahead". Scott slid into the warm water, sighing in relief as the bubbles of a nearby jet massaged his back. As he got more comfortable physically, the atmosphere became slightly less comfortable as he gazed at Rogue, taken aback by the sheer amount of skin she was showing and trying to tactfully ask why she wasn't somewhere else. "Spill it!" Rogue commanded in her customary annoyed tone, " Or are ya just going to stare at my breasts all day?". "Well..." Scott grinned, making a show of admiring her breasts "they are fairly easy on the eyes.I think I could stare all day, yes." In spite of herself, Rogue felt an answering grin tug at her lips, allowing her eyes to slide down Scott's chest to his trunks, obscured by the jet's bubbles and raising an eyebrow " Do Ah get a show too?" she asked, pleased to see the fearless leader of the X-Men blush under her gaze.
"Actually, I was just wondering what you're still doing here" he replied, quickly changing the subject. " What? Don't Ah have just as much right as you to be here?" Rogue asked, clearly annoyed. " You do, of course you do. I just thought I remembered Kitty saying that you would be welcome to go home with her for the break" Scott said quickly, trying to placate the beautiful young woman. Now it was Rogue's turn to blush as she settled back against the wall of the tub. " She did. Ah just decided it would be too awkward. Her parents are just getting used to having one mutant in the family; Ah didn't want to strain that by being a second mutant under their roof. What about you? Don't you normally visit Alex when we have breaks.being the good big brother and all that?". Scott sighed, " Normally yes, but this year he and some friends decided to go down to Cancun for Spring Break, and I don't think that his foster parents would understand if I just showed up to stay with them." " Ah see" Rogue replied as a slightly more comfortable silence refilled the room.
" Ahh.Rogue?" Scott asked hesitantly, " not that I'm not enjoying the view, but why do you own a bikini? Isn't that just a bit dangerous for you?". Rogue glared at him and he was profoundly grateful that she wasn't the one with optic blasts, otherwise he'd be very dead at the moment. "If you must know" she replied testily, " Ah've had it for a while now.Ah only wear it when Ah know it'll be safe.it's a treat for me to be able to feel this much without worrying about hurting anyone". * Idiot * Scott thought to himself * Way to remind her about her ability *. In an effort to make amends, he slid right next to her, carefully yet casually placing his arm on the wall of the tub behind her. " I'm sorry" he said softly, trying to catch her eyes, " I didn't mean to put it like that.I was just shocked.not in a bad way.arg.there I go again.sit near a beautiful woman and my foot goes instantly into my mouth". Rogue turned to face him slightly * He thinks I'm beautiful? * While part of her brain and all of her heart were dancing with joy, the southern goth fixed a frown onto her face, " What the fuck do you think you're doing sitting this close to me? Aren't ya afraid that you'll get hurt?" Scott lowered his eyes for a moment, though she couldn't see it behind the red shades " Ok, I had that one coming.and you have every right to be upset with me Rogue. But no.I'm not afraid that I'll get hurt being this close to you. I trust you Rogue. You're my friend and I know you wouldn't intentionally hurt me."
Rogue sighed, trying very hard to stay angry at him but failing miserably, " Apology accepted Scott. You know, for a bright guy with a great tactical mind, you don't have a clue what to say around a woman" Scott smiled mischievously, "That would be because all of the blood has left my brain in the presence of such sexiness ." * First beautiful, now sexy * Rogue thought * If Ah didn't know better, Ah'd swear he was flirting with me *. " Ya know Scott, it's not exactly fair that you have the better view and Ah have to try to see through the bubbles" She carefully placed her hand on his swim suit, just shy of his inner thigh and grinned evilly, watching him turn nearly as red as his sunglasses. "Ok!" he squeaked, causing her grin to grow even wider " Ok, you win.I'll stop making comments if you just move your hand". " Oh? And just how do you want me to move my hand?" She asked, winking teasingly. "You know what I meant!" he replied, going from red to a deep crimson. " Ah know sugah, Ah know." She said, moving her hand back to her side, "Ah think Ah've been in here long enough.but Ah'm sure Ah'll see you around this week since we're both here." With that she stood up and Scott turned his head away quickly to avoid staring at her crotch, causing her to chuckle " Such a gentleman Scott." As she climbed out of the hot tub Scott turned back and nearly choked on his words as he saw that the bottom of her bikini was a thong; she was halfway back to the women's room when he called out " Hey.I was just going to order a few pizzas and live off of those til everyone else returned when I thought I was alone here, but since you're here too, how about I go grocery shopping later and cook dinner tonight instead?" Rogue smiled at the thought of a dinner with just her and Scott, " Sure, that'd be great" she said before walking back to the women's room, putting just a bit of extra sway into her hips as she did. As the door to the women's room closed she could swear she heard a groan coming from the direction of the hot tub * This is going to be an interesting night * she thought, her smile widening.
