Accidents Happen

The first time they have sex it's really an accident. They're lying sprawled on the floor of the library in the middle of the night -- on the theory, Bobby figures, that if they get caught they'll be in less trouble because they're around books -- and they're scuffling, trying not to laugh out loud, and then Marie climbs on top of him and straddles him with her weight right there, and he's holding onto her gloved hands while they rub against each other, and then all of a sudden it's too late to stop --

Okay, so it's not exactly an accident. It's not exactly sex, either, but then again he's not sure it's exactly not sex. It's something he doesn't want to get caught doing on the floor of the library, anyway, so the next time she creeps out of bed in the middle of the night and wakes him up, he takes her gloved hand once they're out in the hall and leads her silently to the door up to the attic.

It's dusty up there, and the attic floor is hard, but there is an old blanket, and he spreads it out on the floor for them to lie down on. He can feel the heat of the wood through the blanket. Everything smells of dust.

There's a moment of awkwardness, because this seems so ... intentional. It's hard for him to pretend he didn't bring her up here so they could get each other off, and he's pretty sure that's not what nice guys do. Not with nice girls. Then Rogue reaches down and unzips his pants and slides her gloved hand under the cotton of his shorts.

"What about ... I mean, I can't ..." he manages to say.

Rogue's mouth twitches, almost a smile. "You're going to have to get some gloves."

He should be doing something, he thinks, something to prove that he is cool and knows all about women, but it's hard to think when he's trying not to come yet. She is leaning down over him, her hair falling against his bare collarbone, and he wants to kiss her so much. It would be worth it, he thinks.

Her gloved hand tightens around him and she bends her head and bites him through the fabric of his shirt. He feels himself losing it and tries to kiss her, his lips only brushing her hair. He struggles up against her, feeling her warm breath against his cheek, and it's only when her lips touch his skin that he feels himself come.

"Oh, God," he says, "oh, God --"

"You'd let me do just about anything, wouldn't you?" There's something just a little scary in her voice. She puts her hand on his chest, and he isn't sure he could get up if he wanted to; he's dizzy, his head spinning. "But I guess you've always liked playing with fire."

"That's not what I like," he says, but her hand is sliding into his pocket; she pulls out the lighter he's started carrying there and holds it up like it's evidence. She flicks on the flame and lowers her hand, too close to his body. He's afraid his shirt will catch fire. He can feel the heat against his skin.

"You never did this before?" she asks.

The heat is like a burning hand pressed against his stomach. He's pretty sure that if he says "No" she'll press her lips against his skin and breathe him in until she knows.

He kind of wants her to, even though he knows she'd feel guilty about hurting him, and that would make things weird between them. Maybe weirder than if he just tells her. It's not like when he did it with John it was sex. It's not like it meant anything. It was really an accident.

The heat against his skin is starting to hurt, and all at once the flame freezes; he didn't mean to do that, either. Rogue pulls the lighter away, looking suddenly stricken. She lifts the back of her hand to her mouth. "I'm sorry. Did I --"

"You didn't hurt me," he says, although she did. It's not the first time.

Daymn.

And also, yaye! Was hoping something on these guys'd come up soon on here. *shifty*

I, um. Like this relationship with a big side of fucked-up. But you may have noticed that.

-and bites him through the fabric of his shirt.

That line sent a shiver through me; it helps having been on the receiving end of it and knowing how it feels!


The ending was just, yeah. Just right. And I love the whole insertion of John by way ofthe lighter, neither of them having to say it out loud, just knowing the underlying meaning.

I'm glad you liked it!

Mmm, exquisitively devious. Rogue is as complicated as she should be, and Bobby's childish even when he shouldn't have to be.

Lovely, in all. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

A fascinating take on the physical side of their relationship. It could feel what Bobby was feeling, and it made me want to shiver.

that would make things weird between them.

....Right. Just keep telling yourself everything's normal, Bobby.

[info]penknife

February 1 2006, 22:43:06 UTC 6 years ago

It's possible that this is as normal as it gets for the X-Men. But Bobby probably doesn't want to think about it like that.

Oh. My. God.

It's quite possibly a good thing for the pants that I'm wearing that you didn't keep this going for any longer. ;)

Er. I didn't just say that at all.

What I DID say was: AWESOME AWESOME story. Seriously fucked up, but amazingly hot.

[info]penknife

February 1 2006, 23:23:06 UTC 6 years ago

Heh. Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[info]ion_bond

February 2 2006, 02:35:08 UTC 6 years ago

Yes, of course it's sex, Bobby. I love fic in which Rogue has sex without first mysteriously losing her powers.

Even when it's this fucked up.

[info]penknife

February 2 2006, 12:09:10 UTC 6 years ago

Yeah, me too -- it's not that she doesn't have plenty of other problems with relationships, but the "no skin-to-skin contact" one is not insurmountable.

And I'm glad you liked it. Even as fucked up as it is.

[info]eldee

February 2 2006, 05:11:40 UTC 6 years ago

And wow. So messed up, but in a wonderfully hot and captivating way. Loved it. :)

Thank you!

*Fans self* Poor kids... it's a train wreck, and you caught it in all its doomed, slo-mo glory.

[info]penknife

February 2 2006, 12:09:59 UTC 6 years ago

Thanks! Poor kids, yes. It's all so complicated.

I liked the subtle shading here, things implied and not said, quite.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Umm... how did you fit all that omghot and fucked-up and sweet in that itty bitty story?

*turns story over looking for the trick*

[info]penknife

February 2 2006, 12:24:31 UTC 6 years ago

I have a secret vacuum-packing process. *g*

I'm glad you liked it!

Your Rogue is twisty *g* And I like the unspoken presence of John - "playing with fire" indeed. Bobby, though, is in serious denial there, methinks. They're all pretty messed up (well, yeah, they're X-Men, there ain't any other kind...) but I think Rogue is a lot more aware of it than Bobby, he maybe still thinks he can be normal.

And I like the practicalities of this, too, the touching and not-touching and Bobby needs gloves, yes.

[info]penknife

February 2 2006, 15:53:50 UTC 6 years ago

Thanks! Bobby is in serious denial, yes. To his credit, I think he understands that he is messed up, but he's not sure what to do about it. He does not exactly want to talk about his feelings with the adults in his life.

"You'd let me do just about anything, wouldn't you?" There's something just a little scary in her voice.

GUH.

Yes, I find the strangest lines erotic, but hey :)

This was great! It was fucked up perfection. I love Bobby/Marie/John.

I am also happy to see people remember Rogue can do many things even with the deadly skin. It's not impossible to be intimate, even with her skin being poisonous. Yay! This was excellent :)

February 2 2006, 15:54:28 UTC 6 years ago

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I like Bobby/Marie/John too, although I have my doubts about any of the relationships within that triangle being very functional in the long run.

[info]nestra

February 2 2006, 15:55:54 UTC 6 years ago

Oh, nice. Disturbingly nice, or nicely disturbing. I love this triangle.

[info]penknife

February 2 2006, 17:08:02 UTC 6 years ago

Thank you! I am happy to disturb you nicely. :-)

I liked this a lot. They're so convincingly adolescent and confused.

[info]penknife

Thanks!

Oh, very nice. I like the comparisons, the thing about Bobby playing with fire, because he so does like being a little dangerous about things. Very much like Rogue, very forward, just on the edge, but ready to pull back. Lovely work.
