Who: Remy LeBeau & The Tenth Doctor
What: Hunting for food.. jackpot.
Where: The Gas Station.
When: Day 16, 1:30pm
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete

After walking Tonks back to the Library at a very ungodly hour, Remy LeBeau had bid her good night and had walked back alone, to his barn, in the darkness, then he'd settled down in his bed and had let out a slow breath. What a night. He hoped the Doctor would come back tonight, but somehow knew he wouldn't, and had rolled over with that thought and had gone to sleep. It'd been cold, without a second person. But come morning, it had been much warmer, and he could feel a warm body next to him and it made him smile just a little. The Doctor had come back, after all. He idly smoothed a hand up over his shoulder, down his arm.. and his very muscular bicep.

Red eyes opened immediately to stare at the face across from him, but there was no face. There was no head. Nothing. And the Cajun had shouted loudly and scrambled as fast as he could back off of that large couch, falling with a thud onto the floor boards as he pushed away, staring wide-eyed and panting, gaze locked onto the headless body. He knew immediately who it was, though it took him a few moments to actually stand and go closer. After reaching out to lay his hand on that arm again, his brain registered that it was cold. He'd been dead some time, the color of his skin made that obvious. The only reason he'd been warm was because he'd been pressed up against the Cajun. The thought made his stomach turn and he had to close his eyes to hold back the wave of nausea.

It had taken him two hours to dig a hole behind the barn, having bent one of those metal chairs into a spoon type shape and used it to move the Earth, then it had taken him half an hour to wrap Logan up in the top few sheets of the bed and carry his body out behind the barn. It had taken him another hour to fill in the hole and pat it down good and hard. He didn't want something digging up the body of his former rival.

Looks like he'd won that rivalry, huh, Logan? The thought made him smirk, and he stabbed the chair into the ground as a marker, then had walked away. Only then had he really taken stock of the car in front of the barn and wrote a short journal entry about it. If someone didn't claim it soon, it was going to be his. He'd break a window if he had to, but it really was too pretty to do that. So he'd wait, for now. And after a trip to the gym, a cold shower (along with fresh clothes) and a shave, he had returned to the barn, grabbed a pillow case, and headed first to the gas station. He needed another small supply of food. His twinkies were all gone.

And when he arrived, he was treated to quite the nice surprise, and had thrown four of those MREs into his sack and some of the junk food, some gum, a few other little things.. then he was tearing open the case of water and tossing a few bottles into the sack as well. He wouldn't take the whole thing. Because he was nice. Because he didn't want the others to suffer without water. Because he knew the women would need it to keep their figures slim. Because he wanted to share. .. Okay, those were all lies. He just didn't want to carry it.

The heat wave was nice though, the Doctor's coat had been left behind in the barn and he was in just a white undershirt and a pair of torn jeans-- and, of course, his boots. He never left home without his boots, or those dark gloves on his hands.

The Doctor had managed to wake up unscathed in the back of a bumper car with little enthusiasm and still in just as wretched a mood as he'd gone to sleep in. It was because he knew he'd turned himself into a fake and a fraud. He knew it was for good cause; but, that didn't make him feel any better about it. For once he wanted to be selfish. It didn't help matters that he'd practically beaten Remy to bits. He knew why the Cajun was asking what he was; that didn't mean he had to like it.

Pushing out of his spot, the Doctor made his way out to survey the carnival around him. Just there, right in front of the entry to the bumper cars had been an intimately familiar sign: the illuminated bit from the top of the TARDIS. Carefully he picked it up, sighing and tucked it under his arm. Like he was going to let anyone else get their hands on it.

Shaking his head he went out for a walk, careful to avoid the museum like the plague until he'd managed to run into Jack. Oh, Jack, you didn't know what kind of earful you were in line for, did you? The Doctor would have apologized, except he didn't generally do apologies. Instead, he thanked you. That was close enough to an apology, right?

Making his way back to the Carnival the Doctor could feel the rumble of hunger in his gut. He needed to eat something. Anything. Preferably warm. Sneaking by the Museum and down to the Gas Station the Doctor swung the door open unceremoniously, just in time to see Remy filling his pillowcase with provisions. The Doctor sighed. He might be able to avoid Rose today; it appeared he wouldn't be so lucky when it came to the Cajun.

The Doctor shoved his hands deep down into his pockets, just standing there and watching. "You sure you don't want to take all of it?" He asked. Watch out, Cajun, still prickly.

Gambit jerked when he heard the other man's voice, clearly a little jumpy, and wider red eyes had lifted and focused onto the Doctor.. then he looked back down at the sack he had and shook his head some. "Some 'dis f' you, homme." For when he came back. A hand lifted to push dark and pale fingers back through his hair, getting it out of his face, before he scooped another few things into his sack and turned to face the Doctor once again, breathing in deeply through his nose and staring at him a long moment.

He wanted to tell him about finding Logan's headless body in the bed this morning. He wanted to tell him about Tonks coming by last night. Wanted to mention that he'd returned Jack's coat. And it showed on his face that there was something.. but then he smiled and shrugged up a shoulder. "Y' look like you ain' slep' much." And don't mind that pale purple bruise along his jaw, Doctor. It'd get worse before it got better.

The Doctor stood there, that long blue sign under his arm and watched. He saw the jump from the Cajun - something he hadn't seen before, and he noticed those slow movements, too. He said some of the food was for him. It was thoughtful; though, the Doctor still looked away. He was dressed in full Ten attire; the coat came off for nothing since the quake.

There was something on the tip of the Cajun's tongue, and the Doctor found himself caught off guard by a censored mutant. He wasn't used to Remy being able to contain anything that happened to be on his mind. There was no mind mouth filter to be had. So, when all Gambit mentioned he didn't sleep much, the Time Lord kept his expression rather neutral. "I slept just fine," he'd retort. Sure, he didn't sleep like he was on frankencouch; but, he still slept well enough. Better than no sleep, anyway.

The Doctor took in that Cajun, bruise and all and felt a tinge of guilt, a feeling that he'd been steeped in all morning. "You alright?" That was a sterile enough question, yes?

Remy stared at the shorter man a long moment, until the Doctor looked away, and then he was looking down at his sack and bending at the waist to tie it up, then haul it up. It didn't weigh much, maybe ten pounds, but the muscle in his arm strained a little to get it up onto his shoulder before relaxing again.

"Yeah? My mis'ake." The red-head returned just as easily, flashing him a more charming smile this time, and he swayed his body a little to the side, clearly getting right back into the groove he liked to keep himself settled in. "Was gon' brin' you uh blanke' an' uh pillow, but guess I didn' need to, non?" And it was a good thing he hadn't, or they probably would have ended up fighting again. And Remy didn't want that, though the Doctor seemed like he was itching for another one-- it was the tone of his voice, the way he was standing, as if braced for impact.

He must have been so confused when it didn't come.

However, when the Time Lord prompted Remy about being alright, the Cajun swayed his body to the other side again, like a cat curling its way around a room, and he was silent for a few seconds, weighing his options, before he smiled and lifted up a shoulder some, but didn't answer verbally. He didn't want to lie. Not right now.

"How you doin'?" The question was turned back around onto him and that red gaze lowered down to that sign. He looked curious for a few seconds but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Wha's 'dat?"

The Doctor had plenty of time to build up his immunity to the Cajun's charming smile. It might work on the ladies..., the Time Lord thought. "Right," he'd responded to the mutant's admission of a mistake and then Gambit just kept on talking. "No, suppose not." It had actually managed to get warmer as the night went on, who knew? Oh, and the fact he could ball his coat up into a pillow? Definite plus. He was resourceful, too, Cajun.

Was he itching for a fight? He was itching for the whole damned thing to be over and done with. He wanted this particular chapter to end so he could get back to the important things like getting everyone back into their proper space and time. That was important. Arguing with someone from a parallel universe about the status of his affections, not very high on his to-do list.

The Cajun tried to dodge his question. "You're not the only one who gets to interrogate," the Doctor replied. "How are you," he asked again. It bothered him that the Cajun hadn't replied. It only indicated that he was not, in fact, alright.

Gambit was definitely not alright. But when the Doctor insisted that the red-head wasn't the only one who got to interrogate, he laughed some and shrugged up his shoulders, the bag there shifting some, the contents spilling more to one side. Then he was coming a few slow, graceful steps closer, very deliberately placing how far apart his steps were, so he'd come to a stop about two feet from the much older Doctor and he leaned in with a slow smile, bringing their faces about a foot apart.

"M' lonely." He admitted with that cool, easy smile. But, of course, if that had been the only thing, he would have just said it outright. "Wha's 'de sign, mon ami?" But then it dawned on him and the smile faded a little. "Was 'dat wit' you when you woke up?" Ah, Remy had gotten a present this morning, too. Everyone had.

His hadn't been a sign.

He was serious, Gambit. Very serious. Should have been stamped on his forehead. 'I am v. serious.' So, while you laughed and shifted and came closer, a grin on your face with animated motions; the Doctor just stood there, blank-faced and immobile. He wanted you to show him you weren't the child he thought you were, and currently you were failing miserably.

They'd talked enough about loneliness. The Doctor was well versed, and apparently so was Remy. That wouldn't be a reason to dodge a question. "Bunk." Still as a statue Time Lord blinked. "What happened?" He wasn't going to answer your questions until you answered his. Tit for Tat and all that. Let's play.

It was hugging, Remy. It was a hug and it was the most powerful gesture in the universe short of a smile and a wave. Smiles could be mean. Waves could be dismissive. But a hug? There was nothing more pure. The Doctor's arms wrapped in turn and he held. Feeling the closeness of his friend who evidently really needed it. Perhaps the Doctor, on some level, needed closeness as well; but, that was neither here nor there in this moment. This moment was all about the red headed devil.

'I thought it was you,' The Cajun said again. The Doctor could only hold on. He didn't need to say the cliche 'but it wasn't,' because it would have been stupid. No, he saved his words. Words were important.

"Non," the Doctor replied, his hand snaking up from the small of the Cajun's back to his shoulder; holding that pose. Just hang a while, Gambit; it's OK to just be.

He leaned in closer, pressing his weight into the older man as he did. And he'd stand there silently, even with the Doctor's short French retort. He'd savor the closeness, revel in the warmth of the suited man, and enjoy the feeling of those two hearts beating against his chest, before turning his head some and kissing his neck, his lips lingering a second before his muscles shifted under skin. The moment was over, and Remy was pulling back, a laugh immediately rising up in his throat as he lifted his hand to rub at the back of his head.

"Je suis désolé." He apologized with a lopsided grin before gesturing vaguely to the sign again. He was using everything he had to continue standing two steps away from the Time Lord, instead of going back in and leaning against him again. That was clearly where he wanted to be.

"So wha's 'de sign?" Remy prompted again. He needed to talk about something else.

Remy had claimed the hug, leaning in and letting it pass in silence. He liked that silence, the way his own eyes could slip shut and he could focus on something simple like the quiet breeze that hissed through the open window at the other end of the store. Or the sound of one of the water bottles falling over. Or the rise and fall of the Cajun's chest. He could just be there. With his friend.

The Cajun's lips came unexpectedly along his throat and the Time Lord took in a deep breath. His eyes opened again slowly and by the time they had the Cajun was backing away, pulling back, ending the contact wordlessly.

The apology marred the silence, despite the Cajun's graceful intonation. The Doctor would shake his head, as there was no need to apologize.

"It's," the Doctor cleared his throat to speak, "It's from my TARDIS."

It was from his ship. The Cajun rubbed a hand over his cheek and studied it a second before lifting his eyes to the Doctor again. "Sorry, mon ami. Ain' mean it's ruine' 'dough, righ'? It's jus' uh piece." It didn't mean that the rest of it was in pieces. They'd just.. taken off a chunk.

But he was trying to keep his mind focused on the sign and failing miserably. His lips felt warmer. And his body felt cold, despite the warmth outside. He wanted to ask the Doctor to come back, to stay, but he couldn't find the words.

Maybe later.

"Gave 'de Capt'in his coa' back." Like a kid who wanted to be pat on the head and told he'd done a good job.. but that wasn't it. Not really. It only sounded that way. He wanted to let the Doctor know he'd listened and he'd done what he'd been told.

"It's actually impossible that this piece be apart from the whole at all," the Doctor said. The TARDIS was really just a gateway to another structure that was far, far away. That's how it managed to be so much bigger on the inside. When the TARDIS materialized it only took up a very precise segment in time and space, leaving the rest of it's bits behind elsewhere. It was like stepping from one continent to another when stepping over a threshold.

"So, I don't know how they managed this bit without dismantling the rest of the old girl... either way, it's bad enough they evidently have her at all."

The Doctor shook his head. He didn't want to think about it.

"Thank you." His words simple to the Cajun. He was thanking Gambit for that tiny gesture. It was making him itch, the way the Cajun had separated from him. The way he felt that closeness absent. It made his mind run. It made his hearts run. It made everything so much less simple. What did he have to do to get simple back once more? Because he was standing here wanting to be affectionate. He wanted to have that soft hand that apologized for causing the purple welt on his jaw; and the bruise to the Cajun's ego, and the worry and the angst of this morning. He couldn't, though. He just couldn't.

Remy nodded some as the Doctor explained, but didn't say anything more of it, since the older man had made it clear, with that shake of his head, that he didn't want to talk about it anymore. Likely didn't even want to think about it. Gambit was the same way about Logan. He'd write something in the journal to have Logan's name taken off the list, but he wouldn't offer any sort of explanation. None of them deserved one. And he was sure that none of them wanted one.

But when the Doctor thanked him, it brought that sudden, strange smile back to his face, like turning on the sun. The Doctor would remember, days ago, when he'd thanked Remy for the first time, and that smile had appeared for the first time. And this was the first time since them -- it wasn't like his others, it was different in every way, unique to the Doctor. "Jus' droppe' it off, ain' say not'in' to him." There hadn't been any apology, no words exchanged. Just a jacket and a note. It was better that way. He knew Jack didn't particularly like him.

The reason why was standing in front of him.

And after another short silence, with Gambit trying to steel himself from speaking what he wanted to say, from voicing the things in his head, he was finally losing the battle with himself and speaking up. "Come back. S'il vous plaît?" He smiled along with the request and rocked up onto his toes a little. Childish gestures.

"Get another." He said flatly. He knew you meant him, Cajun. He knew you were holding that spot for him. The Time Lord, a stubborn creature, wasn't quite sure this little funk he had going on would last, and the absolute last thing he wanted to see was something happen to you because he wasn't there; or someone wasn't there. Don't make the Doctor worry, mutant.

"Well, at least he has taste..." The Doctor quipped, though any laughter that might have taken refuge in his statement trickled away as he thought more about this child. This place was nowhere for a child to be. Who would send a child in here? People died in here. People hurt in here. People broke in here.

The Time Lord opened his bottle of water and tipped it back for a long gulp. "I'm sorry I wasn't there," said quietly and nearly into his bottle. He was, though, sorry.

"I like bein' 'lone." He took another bite of his food, as if to emphasize. He wasn't taking anyone but you into that barn, Doctor. And if you wanted him to not be alone anymore, you were going to have to stop being alone, too. Stubborn Cajun. He was worried about you too, Time Lord. That was a two way street, the two drivers were bound to crash into one another at some point.

Though, when the Doctor announced that he was sorry he wasn't there, Remy looked up and over at him... then back down at his brown plastic container. "You don' gotta say it." He already knew you were sorry, Doctor. He could tell. He'd seen it on your face. You didn't always have to speak up with him.. he liked to hear it verbally, yes.. but he didn't have to. "Bu' t'anks, f' sayin' it." Because it was always nice to hear. And he was reaching over and stabbing a piece of the Doctor's meat to bring it to his own lips and take a bite. "Ain' half ba'."

You don't have to pretend. The Doctor thought. For a creature who claimed he liked being alone so much, he seemed to be awfully prone to seeking out people. To meeting people. To just being with people. The Doctor had noticed, Remy. They all knew you, Everyone. Even people who he didn't really know knew you. So much for that bit, eh? It was different for the Time Lord. He was supposed to be alone. It was part of who he was. The last the final the only etc. etc. Don't make him remind you.

The Doctor looked away. He may not have had to say it, but he'd wanted to. He didn't like letting his friends down. For him, that was almost worse than being let down by a friend. The Cajun dipped his fork into the Doctor's food and the Time Lord hardly took notice. It was like when the Cajun invaded his space, or talked like he was inside his head, or shadowed his movements; it'd become almost expected. He'd probably be a bit more off put if that sort of thing hadn't happened.

The Doctor had set his food aside, having had enough of it. There was enough sodium in those packets to have his system working overtime for the next week to work it all out. He turned his attention back to the Cajun. If he didn't have to say everything, if the Cajun knew him that well he'd know precisely what that look was saying.

Don't make me ask again.

He did know what that look meant, and he felt like a scolded child all of the sudden, lowering that red gaze away from the brown one boring holes into his head. He hated it when the Doctor looked at him like that, he always felt like a child. Probably because he was acting like a child.. but still. He wet his lips and set his food aside, too, but then was looking up again. "Ra'ter have you, Docteur. You don' even gotta sleep on the same couch as me, you can sleep on 'de lil' one. Or I will, if you ra'ter have 'de be'. Or we can swi'ch." He shifted on the counter some. "Ain' no one here safe, no' in groups, an' no' 'lone. I ain' gonna be no safer, nor feel no safer wit' anyone else. 'Cep' you. Maybe I won' be safer, bu' I'll feel safer." And with that, he was sliding off of the counter and grabbing his water to crack open the bottle and take a drink, then look up again at the other man.

"Bu' if you ain' comin' home," Home, Doctor, "'Den I fin' someone. If I can. Bu' only if 'dey 'lone, too. Ain' gon' take someone from uh large group an' drag 'dem ou' here, 'way from 'de town an' the ot'ers." Since you couldn't get much further away from everyone else, unless you were in that house. Remy sure had picked a hell of a spot to call home. It was one of the most vulnerable places here. No one would hear him if he yelled for help, certainly not the Doctor, completely across the town.

In his head, that look didn't sound quite as mean as it did in Remy's. To the Doctor, the look he'd given, the thought it represented sounded desperate. It sounded sad. It sounded hurt at the thought of having to ask again. Judging from the Cajun's reaction it sounded more along the lines of a parent scolding their child for not cleaning their room. 'Don't make me ask you to do this again, little Johnny!' as opposed to 'Don't make me ask you to do this again, please.'

"I know, Remy," his voice distant in response to the Cajun's first litany. That verbal stream of consciousness that was punctuated with the Cajun hopping off the counter. Where hips and elbows had collided there was now this sudden chill. A chill only made worse by Gambit's next phrase, 'if you ain' comin' home.'

The Doctor felt a bit ashamed of himself. Had he not been paying attention? Not an excuse, because he'd been playing very close attention. Had he been duped? No. Not in the least. He'd been ignoring. He'd been ignoring just like he always did, that closeness; that bond that the red-headed man had just laid out bare between them. The Doctor hadn't even taken a breath.

He was fumbling for something to say, but he was coming up blank. Way to stump the rambler, Cajun.

It didn't sound as mean in the Doctor's head, because it wasn't really that mean. The Cajun, though, already felt like a petulant child, and thus was sort of using the Doctor's look to scold himself, in a way. But when the Time Lord answered that he knew, Gambit smiled and moved himself a step to the side, slowly coming to stand directly in front of the taller (slightly, now) Doctor, leaning his lower abdomen and hips against the other man's legs, pressing his thighs against his tapping feet, to halt them. And both of his hands came down to rest warmly on those suited thighs.

"So strange t' hear you bein' quie'. Cat go' y' tongue, Docteur?" Those words were nearly purred out, but he didn't lean his torso any closer, or he wasn't going to be able to hold himself back. he was going to want to lean in and take something he'd been missing over the past two days.

So, there they were; both sorry with forgiveness implied. Both twined up with wrapped up arms and grabbing hands. Grips that snagged and stayed and held. It was a mutual hold. It wasn't one sided of the Cajun pushing or the Doctor pulling. It was a meeting in the middle.

There was another gentle kiss of the Cajun's lips brushing along his jawline, of finding soft skin that went for such a long time being neglected. He'd tucked his feelings down low and deep for a reason, Gambit. He planned on putting them right back there after you both separated again. He had to or he'd be consumed.

When the Cajun asked if he was alright, the Doctor wondered what part of him he was asking about: Was it the part that worried for that blonde girl and the big eared Time Lord? Was it the part that knew he'd allowed that Cajun to barge into his life and play this game with infatuation? Was it the part that felt useless and tired against the game that raged around him? Or was it that deep and lonely part that threatened at the surface every single time he thought of all the people here.

"I'm still here," was the best he could manage to respond, cryptic as it was. His breath came sharp and quick as he took in the Cajun's scent, his lips finding place on the mutant's cheek, his other hand upon the other. He was pulling back, Remy. It was time to put this to an end. He had to.

The Cajun let out a slow breath as he let him pull back, slowly releasing his hold and relinquishing the Time Lord, allowing him to retreat to where ever he needed to go. He hated that, but he was letting it happen. That was a first. There were firsts for everything. "Oui, we bot' are. An' I'm gon' be here uh lon' time. 'Member 'dat, Docteur." He'd be here, when you were ready. Or when you needed him. And he'd be here long after you thought you were going to get rid of him. He wasn't going anywhere.

But the moment was gone, it was over, and Remy was turning away and looking down at his open sack, before lifting red eyes back up to the Time Lord. "Guess we shoul' ge' goin', non?" Or else Remy wasn't going to want to leave, and he wasn't going to let the Doctor get away from him. He had to get away now, or he never would.

The Cajun was letting him pull away and the Doctor felt that for that moment he could really breathe again. Was it really true that gone were the days of pushing and pulling and yanking? Had the Cajun finally figured out that the way to manage a Time Lord was to hold on loosely and to realize that you held because he let you? Or, perhaps, the Cajun was just tired of the fight, and the Doctor wouldn't begrudge him that, either.

The Doctor nodded to what Remy said. He'd read between the lines and he knew that the Cajun was probably as stubborn as he was. Unfortunately for the Doctor he wasn't quite as big a glutton for self martyrdom.

The Cajun looked to the pillowcase and back up again and the Doctor seized that moment, that tiniest of fleeting moments. Stepping in close he pulled the mutant by his shirt ever so close. He wouldn't give a warning, no slow movement no flicker of lashes. No, his lips crushed against the Cajuns in a gesture worth a million unsaid words. The kiss didn't linger, it didn't hold. It had it's life expectancy and then the Doctor was pulling away, "Sorry," the only quiet word on his lips.

He'd learned, he'd figured it out.. and he'd found that the Doctor would come to him, eventually, as long as he was giving a helping push every now and then. After all, the Doctor had come to him before. And when they were finally a foot apart, and he was looking down at the bag, he let out a breath and looked up again. And the Doctor kissed him. He didn't have time to respond, but it did make his face break out into a wide smile. Then the Cajun shook his head, refusing that apology.

"Don' be. I ain'." He knew he wasn't apologizing for the kiss, but for everything else. And it didn't matter, right now. Right now, everything was gravy, everything was right in the world, and the Cajun was happy. Almost deliriously so. The smile said it all. But he was tying up that pillow case again and reaching out a hand to grip the Doctor's shoulder. "Never been sorry 'bou' anyt'in' you done." He'd been sorry about things he himself had done.. but never the Doctor.

He hadn't given the mutant time to react at all. He didn't want to. He didn't want to be snagged in again. He was pulling away, he was pushing away and this time he knew that the Cajun might just let him. He'd have to.

Then came that smile, bright at anything, and the Doctor watched in an odd sort of horror as the Cajun denied his apology and his jaw fell open a bit before being snapped shut.

"Well, I'm sorry," he said stubbornly. He was sorry. This was out of line for the reserved Doctor; and he felt there was a reason it felt like it, too. He looked to the door, taking a few tentative steps away from the Cajun.

"Be careful, Remy."

The Cajun only smiled brilliantly at the poor, confused and horrified Doctor, before shooting him a quick wink and nodding. "Oui, you too." The red-head was bending them to sweep up his pillow case and hang it over his shoulder, before turning back to look at the Doctor once again.

"An' Docteur?" He prompted, after a second. Once he got some sort of response, he shifted one step, his body swaying with the moment, almost unsure, before he spoke up. "'De chile? You run int' him.. be careful, non? He don' feel righ'. Don' t'ink he really uh boy. T'ink he migh' be somet'in' 'dey sen' in here wit' us." He took a step backwards, closer to the door. "So jus' be careful, non?" A few more slow steps, until he was in the doorway, he'd gotten what he'd came for, and more.
