WHAT?

It’d had been a normal day. Remy had assured you that it was just a party and you could stay home because you’d been feeling tired. He assured you that he’d be home before you went to bed. It wasn’t meant to be a long party.

When the hours dragged on, you got nervous so you put the tv on. Soon enough, the news was blaring. GENOSHA ATTACKED!!! GENOSHA ATTACKED BY SENTINELS!!! You fell backwards onto the couch and watched in terror. Surely Remy was okay, right? He promised he’d come home, right?

You watched the news as it kept going, showing photos of exploded buildings and sentinels raging hell on innocent mutants. You could have helped. Remy should have made you go, despite being exhausted. You could have been there with him.

You decided that he’d be fine. It was Remy and he was always fine. He was Gambit for fucks sake. He was one of the toughest guys you knew and he’d stay safe and he’d come back to you.

You heard a knock on the door so you teared your eyes away from the tv. It had to be Remy waiting outside but there was a little voice in the back of your head saying that he had a key so why would he knock. You still ran to the door and opened it.

“Remy!”

You looked again. No…

“I’m sorry. He’s not coming back.”

It was Rogue. Why the fuck was it Rogue? Why wasn’t Remy there? You stumbled backwards and slid down the wall, tears falling down your face. You sobbed and screamed.

After a few moments, she walked in, putting her phone away. You knew she’d messaged Charles or Logan or someone. There were protocols in place. There were protocols for when someone lost the love of their life to make sure they didn’t go batshit and ruin everything Genosha stood for.

You were pissed. How the fuck did he die? He’s fucking Gambit! He shouldn’t have died. He promised he’d be back before you fell asleep. He fucking promised!

Rogue sat down next to you and placed her gloved hand on your shoulder. You stared at her, your eyes narrowed. “Get off me.”

She quickly pulled her hand back and watched as you stood up.

“Can you get out?” Was all you said.

She went to protest but your lips were in a straight line and you’d stopped crying. She quickly left, taking her phone out to call Charles. He was the only one who’d be able to deal with you now.

You slammed the door shut and collapsed onto the floor again. Why wasn’t he coming home? He promised, he fucking promised!
