| Title: Love is Blind but Truth is Not By: Silverblade Disclaimer: Everyone in this story belongs to Marvel. None of these people are mine I'm just borrowing them for the fun and of course I'm not making a single cent for it! My name is Jean Grey and I'm a telepath. Maybe that's why I'm the only one who can see it. Logan may see it, but other than him I'm probably the only one who can see the true love between Remy and Ororo. Everyone thinks Gambit is in love with Rogue but do they even notice how Gambit's face brightens whenever Storm walks into the room? Or that it's Storm not Rogue, Gambit seeks out when he wants to talk to someone, or has a problem or just wants some company? Does anyone ever notice how Ororo's eyes follow Remy when he's not looking? When they do share a look they have this smile on their face as if they shared a secret that no one else knows. I suppose everyone just forgot the fierce storms that followed when Rogue told Storm what had happened to Gambit after the trial. That it was Storm who believed in Gambit's goodness even after she learned of his terrible dealings with Mr. Sinister yet Rogue had left him to die. Did everyone forget that Gambit's loyalty first lies with Storm and then the X-Men? How anyone could miss the murderous rage in Gambit's fierce ruby eyes when he saw Forge hurt Storm is beyond me. What's that you say? There's no chemistry between them? I must admit its hard to spot, they're both unconsciously discreet about it but its there. Being a telepath makes it easier to sense the sparks passing through them when they touch, the fire of desire in their veins when he touches her hair, caresses her cheek, or when she holds in him in her arms. Why is Gambit always hanging around Rogue then instead of Storm? Why doesn't Storm act on her love for Gambit? Well, you see that's the funny and at the same time beautiful thing about their love: They don't even know they're in love with each other! The love they share for each other, the bond between them is so strong and natural and real to them that they don't even realize it! They're so in love with each other that they're blind to their true feelings for each other; mistaking desire and passion for a passing attraction, mistaking true love for sisterly and brotherly affection. Yet a love like this cannot stay hidden for long. You don't believe me do you? There's a battle going on right now. Gambit's head and a small part of his heart are watching Rogue's back but the rest of his heart and his eyes are watching Storm's as her own eyes watch his. The battle is nearly over when Rogue and Storm are struck down by the enemy. Logan and Scott finish off the bad guy as I soften Rogue and Storm's fall with a telekinetic blanket. I touch their minds and sigh with relief to realize that though they're unconscious they're alive and both will make it. Gambit doesn't know this as he runs towards the two women a desperate look on his face. Whose side do you think he was heading towards first? Which woman do you think drained the blood from his face and filled his face and eyes with a fear he'd never known he could feel? I'll give you a hint, it was something Remy yelled, actually one word Remy yelled: "Stormy!" Back to G stories Index Back to Fanfics Back to Main Hall |
