In the garage (For a Gambit application)

[caldecottsugah]

Rogue has been spending what spare time she can in the garage working on machines. The only vehicle in here she won't touch is Logan's motorcycle - he takes care of it himself and gets grumpy if she changes things on it without asking first.

She's tuned up most of the vehicles in the garage over the past few months. Right now, though, she's spending time beneath her Karmen Ghia. Her baby hasn't needed anything special but spending time with her car helps her ignore everything else. Ignore the fact that Piotr and Kitty are oh so very happy. Ignore the fact that she's re-applied for law school. Ignore the fact that she and Bobby.... Ignore the fact that she hasn't seen Remy in months. Ignore...

Well, she's ignoring a lot in bonding with her car.

Cars are simple and understandable.

"No reason for yah tah be. Ah shouldn't even bein' talking to you about this. It isn't fair to you." Rogue squeezes his upper arm lightly and takes a step back from him.

"Righ' Dere's a lot of thing that aint fair, don' mean we don' try an help."

A faint blush finds her cheeks.

"Ah..." Rogue clears her throat, "Ah'm not sure what you can do something about it..." Ignore the fact that she still has the charred Queen of Hearts on her dresser.

"maybe not, but I gon' be here for a while yet, you lemme know."

"You're staying for awhile this time?"

Rogue smiles at him, truly taking a step back from him, putting some space between them before she forgets that she should.

"Yeah, I gon' stick around for a bit. Never know when I migh' be needed again."

"Uh-huh."

Rogue gives him a look. It is a familiar look. "Don't know when somethin' will catch yer fancy and you'll end up in who knows where, either."

he just shrugs a bit, looking solemn, not really knowing to say. He has always had itchy feet, and a love for excitement. Leaving always hurt, but it was worth it it to come back to the one of the few places he could call home.

Rogue rubs the flat of her chest just below the hollow of her throat. It looks like a gesture that is more habit than anything, about the place a necklace might hang if she were wearing one. For a little bit, she doesn't know what to say either. It makes everything feel tight, a little hard to breathe.

"You're here now." And that is certainly a good thing.

"I am. And 'm glad to be back. Crazy as it sounds, I missed it. An' I definitely missed you."

And she really doesn't know what to say about that.

He's charming and she wants to smile at him, she wants to have him wrap his arms around her. She also knows that so far, every time, all they've managed to do is hurt each other.
