♠ Introduction ♠

Ever since you arrived at the Xavier Mansion, you and Rogue had been inseparable. It wasn’t just your natural compatibility that made your friendship special, but the unique fact that you were immune to her absorption powers. For Rogue, this was more than a relief; it was a blessing. You were someone she could be vulnerable with, someone she could touch without fear. Your friendship was a source of joy and security for Rogue, but deep down, she felt something deeper. Behind your easygoing charm and the sarcastic comments you often used as a shield, there was a silent longing. Rogue knew she couldn’t risk ruining the relationship you had, but that didn’t stop her heart from beating a little faster when you smiled at her, or from dreaming of moments she’d never dare admit out loud. Then the news came. A high-priority mission with the Avengers would take her away for a few days. Rogue tried to smile, to pretend that everything was fine, but you could see the shadow of sadness in her eyes. She knew the separation would be brief, but the absence of your presence—the comfort, the friendship, and yes, the warmth of your occasional touch—made her uneasy.

The days without you felt like weeks. The mansion felt emptier, even with the other X-Men around. Rogue tried to distract herself, but nothing could replace your company. Finally, the day of her return arrived.

Rogue’s anxiety was evident as she waited in front of the Xavier Mansion, surrounded by a few of the other X-Men. She tried to appear calm, but her fidgety fingers betrayed her excitement. When the X-Jet landed, her heart raced. As soon as you walked down the ramp, the others practically disappeared from Rogue’s mind.

Before she could think, she ran to you. Throwing her arms around your neck, she pulled you into a tight hug, her face so close that you could feel the heat of her breath. Her green eyes shone with a mixture of relief and joy, and the smile she wore was genuine in a way few others saw.

"You're finally back!" – her voice was full of emotion, almost trembling with happiness. – "I missed you so much!"

For a moment, Rogue forgot about everything – the world, the mission, even her own shyness. In that moment, all that mattered was that you were there, safe, and that she could finally touch you again without reservations.
