Who: Rogue and Shadowcat.
When: Friday, April 4, 2008; (Noon-ish)
Where: The Library.
What: Has Kitty heard about Rogue and Bobby's secret meeting, or hasn't she? Well, Rogue's about to find out!
Status: COMPLETE.
Rating: PG-13, just to be safe.

Three days.

It had been three days since she and Bobby had their first talk. And to say what had been said between them didn't stir something within her would be, to say the least, a vast understatement.

Bobby had kissed her.

He had kissed her and he told her that he loved her.

Rogue still wasn't quite sure how to handle it, the knowledge that he still cared very deeply for her... that he wanted to be with her again.

He wanted her and not Kitty. Some part of Rogue was practically screaming with glee at the very thought, but she still hadn't come to terms with the Iceman's apparent betrayal of her trust.

Though, had Bobby really cheated on her? No. No he hadn't, but when she first saw Bobby and Kitty looking at each other during that Danger Room exercise, she was hit with the realization that Bobby might have wanted something more. Something Rogue was incapable of giving to him. That made her feel horribly insecure and jealous. Envious that she couldn't give him that, but Kitty could.

Rogue still had a bitter case of sour grapes about that fact, but she tried to do her very best to conceal it.

However, she was still left with a very hard decision to make: "forgive" Bobby or end it for good?

As Marie sat at one of the tables in the library, she stared unseeingly at the upturned book that sat in front of her. She had come to the library in hopes that she'd be able to get her mind off of her current problem, but even the enchanting words of J.K. Rowling couldn't distract her.

Kitty's question made Rogue pause for a moment, before she went onto answering it, "It was... ah don't know,; it was okay."

Okay, maybe it wasn't 'okay,' but she really didn't feel like talking about it that much. It was weird, tense, and awkward. She could've said that, but that might warrant an explanation.

"We just caught up," she with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders, while she tugged a white piece of hair behind her ear. That was partially true, but there were some pretty important details she withholding. But, she was doing a pretty good job being casual about it.

"Ah just thought he might've mentioned it to you by now."

With that thought in mind, Rogue was beginning to think the Iceman was playing some kind of game with both of them. If that was the case, he was going to be in for a very rude awakening.

"No, but it's fine. Everyone's been busy doing their own thing. It's okay." Which it really was. Kitty didn't have any qualms about a meeting or a talk. She'd probably end up mentioning to Bobby that she talked to Rogue and had heard about how they got together, but that would be that. She'd simply see how Bobby handled the situation from there. Kitty could be naive sometimes, but she wasn't dumb.

"Hey!" She perked up a bit, a smile on her face. "Want to play a quick game of chess?" She hadn't played that in a while, and while she was sure Rogue could think of ten different things she could be doing, she thought she'd throw that out there.

It was something to do to give them time together, but didn't require a lot of talking, which both seemed to find a bit difficult right now. She really hated the awkward silence.

"I think there's a set over there," she said, pointing down the library a bit to one of the study areas.

"Chess?" she repeated, a dark eyebrow quirking upward at the suggestion. Rogue had only played a couple times before, and to be honest, she wasn't all that great at the game. She was more of a foosball type of person herself.

"Sure," she said, eventually. Well, there was no time like the present to bone up on her Chess playing skills. Though, she wasn't sure there were any improvements to be had.

"Ah have ta warn ya, though..." she began, a hint of laughter in her voice, "Ah ain't any good."

She was doing her best to keep up a jovial front, which wasn't all that hard all things considered. Perhaps this wouldn't end so tragically, after all?

[ OOC: I figure we can end it here, since Chess games aren't always that entertaining to play out. xD Though, we can continue if you have more things to add. ]
