Trailing her hand over the sweat dampened forehead, Rogue carded her gloved fingers through the tawny hair. Where had once been soft and perfectly kempt locks now were frayed like worn old rope. She no longer smelled like warm peaches in sunlight. Closing her eyes, Rogue could still invoke the memory, though.
Thin arms tugged gently at her waist as Kitty shifted, troubled in her nightmares. They were nothing new. Nothing was in this tired world.
With a sigh, she looked down at her lover's still beautiful face. Ten years of fighting had taken their toll on them both. Yet, nothing seemed to touch that sweet innocence that Kitty always wore like a halo.
Lightning flashed in the distance. She could see where it struck through the holes in the walls. Seconds later, thunder rolled over the house.
Kitty shifted again. This time, she snuggled up closer to the older woman. Her movements caused the stink of their rotting mattress to rise up.
Closing her eyes, Rogue eased herself back against the wall. It wasn't a comfortable position by a long shot. But, someone had to remain alert enough to defend them should it be necessary. That was happening more and more lately.
Their time would come soon, she believed. It was okay. They had accepted what would happen a long time ago. That didn't stop them from fighting it with every fiber of their being, though.
Hearing rain hit the roof startled her out of a light doze. Blinking warily out at the night, she tried to focus stinging eyes. She longed for nothing more than to lay down beside her love, close her eyes, and sleep away forever. The rain started to fall in earnest moments later, kicking up a cool breeze in the house.
Rogue closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation of moisture flowing over her skin. It would have been heaven to go out into the night and stand naked under the fall. She would have done it, if not for the woman pressed snugly against her side. With a sigh of disappointment, she set herself to resting against the wall once more.
The rain would last all night. Then she could rest.
