"Okay, now we're settled... what's your favourite colour?" Rogue sputtered out her coffee as Kitty chortled to the point she almost fell off her seat. This was supposed to be a date and I couldn't just jump right to the gritty reality of our meeting, no, that would need to wait towards the end of our little sit down.
"Ah, um, white and black?" I hid a smirk behind my iced-tea, watching as she slowly worked the courage up to ask me the same question.
"W-what's your colour...?" I lowered the tea and looked up in a thinking pose, the act making her slightly grin at how goofy it looked. It was a good sign that I was slipping through her formidable walls.
"I'd say blue or white? Probably white considering the fact that my family is named 'frost' and all." She chuckled a little at the bored tone of my statement, her gloved hands awkwardly trying to cover her mouth; not that it hid her emotions at all.
Silence stretched for a time as I just sat there examining their features. My emotions and thoughts were tightly held within so that they would not notice my attraction to the both of them. Usually I would be open with my advances, the entire date being an example of that part of me, but I needed to slow down and coax them out of their secrecy.
"Black and white though... Maybe you're into the goth style...?" I idly blurted my innocuous thoughts to the beauties across from me.
Kitty nodded deeply whilst placing her coffee down. "Yah, that's our Rogue. Dark colours and broody moods." Rogue scrunched her nose up as her blushing cheeks settled into a paler tone.
"I- I am not broody!" She was indignant against her friend's words but glanced toward me to see what I thought about it. I was imagining hot scenes between us involving gothic dresses and stockings, so much so that I forgot about the conversation for several moments. Rogue coughing did eventually snap me out of my fantasies but it was a close thing.
Blinking a touch I tried to soften my features and show some genuine care through my facial expressions. "You could have whatever style you wanted and be perfectly beautiful to me." Kitty whistled and shook her right hand as if it had been burnt.
"Smooth, real smooth Drecarios." Rogue was practically a tomato at this point as her friend finished her slight tease, her eyes darting between my own and the tiled flooring below.
Sipping my tea I slowly started making small talk, asking about Rogue's life, her hopes and dreams... It was all rather evident based off of her current lifestyle. She was completely absorbed in her duties as a newly made X-Man. Her sense of morality and justice was skewed by the indoctrination of Xavier and his misguided sense of hypocrisy. She dreamed of controlling her powers, quote-on-quote 'better', which was her just covering for the fact that they were always on and she hadn't even made an inch of progress since learning with Xavier.
Most of the information was general and guarded, her own sense of security and privacy calling her to hide deeper information from me. I didn't blame her for it, I was doing the same with them. We had just met ten to twenty minutes ago, none of us were going to share our life story and insecurities right away, even if we had a mutual attraction to one another.
The date was going rather late by the time we shared some stories back and forth, mostly harmless excerpts from our monotonous days of work. Honestly, it was lovely to just sit down and chat with a woman without expecting her to get pissed at me because she was afraid I was talking with other women... Yeah, the more I reflected on my last life's relationship the more I hated it and found it toxic as fuck.
Unfortunately all things had to come to an end. I needed to know why they sought me out specifically and why these two were chosen for the task.
"Huu, it's been lovely chatting with you lovely ladies... I don't think I've enjoyed a conversation with someone like this since, well, ever..."
Kitty was trying her hardest not to fall asleep as I spoke, her energy having been sapped by the two hour long date between me and Rogue. She had been a third wheel. A fate that I pitied. Rogue, on the other hand, had been completely enraptured by my stories and was excited that I knew Tony Stark. Apparently she was sort of interested in the tech industry and always admired how open the billionaire was with his Hero persona. I couldn't really argue with her over that admiration since it was something I too found admirable about the cocky playboy.
"I-i liked this d-date too... W-we should do it again some time?" I leaned forwards and grabbed her hand, pulling off the glove in an instant before grabbing her hand and cradling it within my own.
"Definitely. I'd love to meet you again and discuss things." Her eyes were wide saucers in comparison to the tight grip of her hand. Panic, horror, sorrow, devastation and minor flickers of hope played across her expression as she looked at our joined hands.
I was surprised as well, but not by a complete immunity or anything as such... No. I was shocked to find that my mental barriers were straining to hold back her powers, their potency slowly chipping away at my psychic energy; as if they were feeding off of the energy. I couldn't maintain touch for maybe more than twenty minutes. That was enough though and a man could do many things in twenty minutes... 'Hehehe' I mentally cackled at that last thought as Rogue quickly began stretching her hand in my palms, her fingers attempting to glide over every inch.
She was touch starved and I'd just shown that her powers didn't effect me like they did other people... I should have expected what came after that really...
"W-wh-w" She sniffed as tears dripped softly down her blush-filled cheeks, her hands bringing my hand to her cheek before snuggling into it. The gamble had payed off and now I could help her. 'I'm not a simp... I'm not a simp...I'm not a simp...'
She flashed me the brightest most transcendent smile, her bright white teeth flashing in the mild sunlight pouring through the windows. "I- I don't know what to say..." My heart melted right then and there. She had just thawed out a frost... 'Fuck it, i don't care. I'll simp for her forever.'
Rogue seemed to share my thoughts as she leaned over, hesitating only for a moment, and kissed me right on the lips. The texture was like velvet meeting with the sweetness of vanilla. Her lips were delightfully soft and plush as I slowly brought my other hand behind her head, brushing away the stray white strands that impeded my mission. Obviously giving her a way to achieve a physical relationship with someone had blown away all common sense for the both of us... Neither of us cared either...
We ignored the world for a whole minute before she slowly receded, her eyes hooded in ecstasy as a line of saliva dangled between our lips. Her entire demeanour, which had been shy and stand-offish previously, had changed. Clear and definitive lust was hidden behind her drooped eyelids whilst her cheeks burned with desire. Her legs squirmed under the table as her breathing shuddered. I wanted to take her right there.
"Ahum... So I missed some stuff, i guess???" Kitty was super confused but also slightly amazed at the expression on her friend's face, the phase-shifter glancing between the both of us in amazement.
I hesitantly broke eye-contact with Rogue and addressed Kitty.
"Yeah..." My vision slid back to Rogue, who had closed her eyes in an attempt to compose herself.
Kitty was weirded out about the intensity between the two of us and quickly spoke into the charged atmosphere.
"Um, okay, well... Drecarios, we came here to see if you were going to join the greater Mutant community and if so, on what side..." She looked at Rogue and licked her lips nervously. "If you could answer us now?"
Adjusting myself I focussed on Kitty, relief being displayed from her as I did so.
"I have to join the Hellfire club to aid my sister." Kitty blinked several times in quick succession before sighing, holding her head in her hands.
"Really...? Them? Why not just stay out of it?" I rolled my eyes.
"Did you not hear me say I am doing it to help my sister?" She stopped moving for a few moments before gradually nodding. Someone had just contacted her telepathically. Xavier was most definitely listening in now and had given her a message or signal.
"Fine. Xavier just contacted me..." I sighed. "He wants to invite you over for a barbeque at some point, you and your sister." She awkwardly pet her legs with her hands, a nervous tick that gave me my answer to that invitation.
"Sure, let me know a time and date, Xavier. Mentally or, you know, through a text message, like a normal person." Kitty flinched in near laughter, her heaving barely being contained as her shoulders rocked back and forth... Her nerves were clear but I'd dispelled some of the tension at the very least.
I looked back to Rogue and watched her hungrily stare me down. I'd unlocked a monster and now said monster wanted to consume me whole. A normal man would have gulped at the intensity of her 'fuck-me' gaze but I simply smiled and winked at her, sliding my leg up her thigh before pulling back. Oh, I was going to have fun in this new universe, that was for sure.
Under a minute later Rogue quickly gave me her number, Kitty attempting to drag her out of the café as she did so. Within no time at all I was sitting alone at the table, looking down at the phone number she'd just given me. A warmth that had never entirely existed in my last life or this version of my life flickered inside my heart. Maybe there was a chance for a proper relationship here after all.
