"Sugah, Ah told you no!" Rogue said
harshly to Gambit.
"But Chere, Gambit loves you!" Gambit
pleaded with her.
"Ah love you too, Gambit.
But you know what will happen," Rogue told him sadly.
Gambit looked at her. He loved
her so much, but could not touch her. Sometimes he didn't care what happened to him. He just wanted to hold her
in his arms until the day he died. She was his steel magnolia. So strong, but so vulnerable. He wanted to
protect her, but it was always her that protected him. He knew she loved him. He had no doubt about that.
He also knew it hurt her deeply to be around him. To know that even one little kiss could kill him. That is why
she pushed him away. Even now, as Gambit looked at her, there were tears in her eyes. She saw him look at her
and she averted her eyes. She turned and started to walk away.
"Rogue?"
"Yes Remy?" she said as she turned
back around.
"I don't care what happens," he
said as he pulled her close and kissed her.
