    Summary

    In which Pyro exercises all his subterfuge to give Rogue a not-birthday present that begins with bourbon and boysenberry pie, and ends in the answer to the question: what does she really want?

    (Set in a retconned timeline post-DoFP and near the beginning of what-would-have-been X2, where some things look eerily similar, and other things diverge.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    John's fantasies trailed her, leaving her hot and shivering.

    "Rogue —" he called after her.

    Other things in there too: his jealousy. His desire. His bitter resignation that she could never be his — not because of her mutation, but because of her feelings for his best friend.

    It's a gift of sorts, offered freely just like the boysenberry pie. Some part of him wanted her to have it — this not-so-closely guarded secret.

    So beautiful it makes me sick.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    They talk a lot, more than anyone else Johnny has shared a bed with, but they don’t really say anything. It’s all shallow sexy stuff and Johnny can do that.

    (rogue/bisexuals named john who can control fire but not their own feelings = my fav marvel rarepair)

    June, 1965.

    Eddie loves a good baseball game, is all, and Belch Huggins made any baseball game a good one. “That’s how ya do it, that’s how you hit a BAWL, son!” Nothing wrong with that.

    Summary

    She would wait in her room and listen for Danny through the walls, so she could be there if he needed her. She’d fall asleep eventually, like she did most nights, and if Danny called out for her, or for anyone,

    (for Jack)

    she’d run to him, her weakly-mended back be damned. She didn’t need to stand in the doorway to watch. It wasn’t like she’d be far.
