Author's Notes: I own nothing.
“Hey, Rogue, can I ask ya somethin’?” Sam asked, peering around the doorframe and into Rogue’s room. “Rogue?”
The girl looked up sharply, nearly dropping the magazine she had borrowed from Kitty - borrowed, in this case, meaning ‘snagged from her bed when she wasn’t looking’. “Huh? Oh. Sure, fire away.”
“If I asked you to the prom, would you go? With me, I mean?” He tucked a few errant strands of blond hair behind his ear and gave her the kind of look most people associated with a puppy hoping for a treat.
“Why me?” Rogue asked suspiciously.
Sam shrugged, his face falling. “You don’t wanna go?” Now he looked like a kicked puppy.
“I’m not sayin’ that. I’m just wonderin’ why you’re askin’ me.”
“Because I want to go to the prom with you.”
