Shattered (Gambit X Colossus)

Gambit

There was no doubt that we were all doomed. The Sentinel program was the thing that all mutants feared the most, and the president released it, not expecting them to actually blow up whats left of our home. Human or mutant.

I am a thief and a bandit at heart but even someone like me wouldn't do something like this. Humans are evil, no doubt about that. All I can do it sit in the alleyways and hope it will all blow over, but something in me is telling me otherwise. The sky is red and there are no birds flying in the sky, not even a spider or a cockroach crawled from their hiding spaces unless they were all dead.

I played with my cards for days on end, no company, just me. I knew I was going to be found out soon, and my life will be ended once that happens, but I'm just baring my time.

"Excuse me!?" A male voice called out to me from the entrance of the alleyway. He was injured severely, he left a trail of blood as he crawled towards me.

"Mon Cherie, are you alright!?" I asked with worry. He let out cries of pain at each movement he made.

"No! I-I'm a mutant and I escaped a sentinel! please help me!" He had a strong Russian accent. 

"Hey, look. I can't help you, my powers don't have anything that is used for healing!" I felt awful knowing I can't help a fellow mutant. He gave me the saddest look of despair I ever saw someone give.

He crawled closer to me and sat next to me, clutching his wound on his hip. He was awfully pale and his suit covered in blood. I noticed his belt had an 'X' on it, he was an X-Man!

"You were a part of the X-Men?" I asked curiously. He nodded slowly.

"Was." His breath was shaky and weak. I can't let him just die here.

"Wait." I pulled off my scarf and wrapped it around his waist and tied it very tightly.

"Ah!" He bit his lip. I smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay." I took off my cloak and wrapped it around him. "You're so cold."

"I-I know." He muttered, his teeth chattering. He was clutching my jacket tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"What is your mutation, Cherie?" I asked sweetly, playing with my cards silently.

"Nothing special." He shuffled closer to me for warmth. I placed an arm around him.

"All mutants are special."

"Well-" He mumbled. I felt his body become even colder, his hair becoming metallic, along with the rest of his body.

"You can turn to metal?" I asked in awe, a smile spread across my lips. He muttered 'yes' and he turned back to normal. "That is amazing Cherie!" 

"Still useless against the sentinels." He whispered.

"No, you are not useless. No mutant is, we just have to hold out a little longer." I held him tightly, his body starting to warm up.

"Thank you." He smiled at me, that smile was so bright. "You are such a kind man." His Russian accent was so lovely to listen to. I felt him wrap his muscular arms around me. "Who are you?"

"My name is Remy Lebeau, my mutant name is Gambit." I smiled, petting his short black hair.

"That is a pretty name. You are French, da?"

"Oui." I felt myself feel flustered, he laughed.

"My name is Peter Rasputin or Colossus." His breathing steadied, which was a good thing. He was healthy and was going to live.

"Lovely." I noticed we have been here for a long time and no sentinel has found us yet. I probably jinxed myself.

Peter shuffled even closer, which at this point was physically impossible because of how close he already was. I didn't mind, although if he was someone else I would have probably killed them, I suppose if they were human. I felt his breath on my neck, he was doing this on purpose!

"Hey now, we all have personal space."

"I'm just really cold." He whispered. I felt chills run down my spine and further. I know this man, I have fought him before. I stole an artwork from a museum and he was sent to stop me. I know now. That Russian accent is what got me, so husk and low. His defined muscles that he didn't need to even work for, he was born with them, and that is very attractive to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked worriedly. He laughed.

"What?" 

"You are very close."

"Ah, prosti." He shuffled away. 

"No, I didn't mean it in a negative way, you know." I smiled and chuckled weakly. "I think I know you." I smiled. Peter raised his eyebrow.

"You do?"

"Yes, I am the thief who stole the artwork."

"Oh." His eyes darkened. "That is quite awkward."

"No! It isn't, I'm sorry I did that."

"I don't really care actually." He laughed. "You can steal some artwork I don't care for it." 

I pulled him closer and smiled.

"You hear that!?" I heard the sounds of the siren, sentinels will be dropped here in this area soon. 

"Yes." Peter looked into my eyes, I saw a blush appear on his cheeks. "Charles Xavier was wrong. Us mutants should have fought back harder. And now we are going to die." He placed a cold hand upon my cheek. "Remy, we might be only a few of the last mutants on earth."

"What are you saying?"

"Nothing. I-I just-" He stopped and sighed. "I-I like you." He grimaced, realising what he said.

"M-Me too," I confessed, holding his hand tightly. "I loved how when you fought me, you went easy on me. I know how tough you are, and you didn't want to hurt me badly. You treated me like a decent person." I leaned closer to him. 

"Remy, it was your eyes that got me first," Peter said weakly.

"My black eyes? How? I thought it would have terrified you."

"Oh, net net!" Peter kissed my hand, smiling. I looked away, embarrassed. "Look at me, milaya."

I turned my head to him, wondering what he meant.

"What does that mean?"

"Milaya means sweetie. Russian is very odd I know."

I laughed, and without holding back I pressed my lips to his. He kissed back lovingly and pulled away too soon. I frowned.

"We are going to die," Peter said in despair. I shook my head. 

"Not yet." I kissed him again, but even more passionately. Peter wrapped his legs around my waist and pulled me closer.

"We must run away." He breathed.

"We can't, they always find us." I rested my forehead against his. 

"Then let's spend our last time together. We may die but we will die together!"

I nodded and smiled.

"Oui."
