Disclaimer: No mine, they all belong to Marvel. This is a very short story that I wrote last
night in about ten minutes. I know that's its pretty bad, and the poetry sucks but....I don't
knwo it just demanded to be written. Rouge/Remy fans, beware.

Just To Be With You
By Darkchilde

The night air hung heavy around the two. There was no wind, the trees stood as still as death.
The moon was huge in the sky, white as a bone. The moonlight shone down on two people standing
below.

"Why did you come back?"

"Because I had to. I had to see you again."

"Why?"

"I don' know."

"…I missed you."

"Not as much as I miss you."

"How did you…?"

"It doesn't matter. All that matter's is that I did."

Slowly the woman turned to face him. Stepping forward, she brought his head down to kiss him
softly on the lips. The man pulled back and smiled softly. But there was no humor in his eyes.

"I can' stay."

"I know."

Again they meet in a slow sweet kiss. This kiss melted into another one, and then a another
until all the other one knew was one another.

They spent that night, loving each other under the stars. Hours and minutes ceased to have
meaning, each of them finding the love they needed in the other's arms.

Hours later, she lay with her head on his chest, staring up into the sky. She had to choose.
How do you choose between the man you love and the rest of your family, your life. What was she
going to do? Would she leave with him tomorrow or would she stay here, and leave in the hell
that her sense of duty trapped her in?

He made her choice for her. When she awoke, she was alone. He was no where in sight, and it
appeared that he had been gone a long time. Standing up, she saw a piece of paper, held down by
a stone. Picking it up she read:

To the ends of the Earth
To the heavens beyond
I would gladly crawl
Just to be with you

I'll take down the stars
I'll fly to the moon
That's what I'd do
Just to be with you

All your demons I would face
All your tears I would dry
I'll make any sacrifice
Just to be with you

Anything and everything
I would give my all
And be happy with myself
Just to be with you

Ororo felt tears gather in her eyes. Folding the paper delicately she slipped it inside her
uniform and whispered "And I would do anything to be with you, my Remy."
