Ooooo... I'm intriged. I wanna know what he got her! *waits for the next chapter*

I love her thoughts and his nervousness. It's so priceless.

[touchandburn]

It was going to be a one parter... it was... and it was supposed to be about his lighter. Then I got halfway through writing what's going to be the second half before I figured out what he was getting her and came to the conclusion that it needs its own part. Hence the evil waitingness:)

:grumbles: Making us wait for the next chapter is evil (and I love it).

Your mind's a steel trap, I totally forgot he didn't have his lighter in X1. Very nice interpretation.

Oh Rogue, I love ya when you're naive. :pets:

“You think about blowing me… up a lot?”
lmao. Yes, I'm twelve. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

He bought her a present? He's wrapping it? HEE.

Can't wait to see what it is.

[touchandburn]

I mean, granted, he was also a natural blonde and not Aaron Stanford in X1 but...

Really... I'm waiting for her to go 'he's like a little kid throwing sand at me in the playground and kids only do that when they... oh... oh...'

lmao. Yes, I'm twelve. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
haha... I figure they're about fifteen-ish... and John's a fifteen-year-old boy... and fifteen-year-old boys are notoriously... well. They think talking about blowing things is hilarious. I admit that I snorted and rolled my eyes at the corner of my mind that John's taken up residence in when that line typed itself out.

I think you stole a bunny from me! I've been meaning to write a fic just like this, only not a Christmas one - where Rogue gives him that lighter.

Damn. Ah well, great fic! Really well written. And I think it's a must for you to do a sequel. Especially with a dealine like midnight...

[touchandburn]

I hope you write it anyway, because I'd still love to read it! LOL I was actually thinking the same thing earlier when I read Habit, because I totally have a list of shorts to write and one of them involves Bobby catching Pyro and Rogue in the midst of their illicit affair (*coughcough*).

I'm definitely writing a second half. Though this might end up having extra parts.

Well considering you had signed up to 100 situations as well, it probably won't be surprising if we double up on things. Any idea what happened to the community by the way?

PS - now that you added me back, there's a filtered post with a proposal (not marriage!) I'd like you to read. Cheers.

[touchandburn]

This is very true:) I actually don't have a clue; I signed up for it a month or two ago but put it on the backburner until I was done with this semester of classes. And then when I started writing, I noticed that the account was suspended. At this point, I'm just using the prompts because it gives me a much needed kick in the butt to write.

Will do:)

Oh. It's so sweet! I never even considered that. The origins of the shark Zippo. I love it!

[touchandburn]

I figure... this is why he's so smitten with his shark Zippo.

[rogue_lane]

Awwwwwww!

Then a little more Awwwwwwww.

Blowing... hehehhehhe.

I really wonder what he got her, I hope it's a shirt that says I'M WITH STUPID and tells her "It's for you to wear when you go out with Bobby"

That could lead to her slapping him and then they could get into a fight and end up having hot sex on the floor... mmmmm... Merry Christmas indeed.

Anyay this was very well written and I love that someone took the time to write the origins of the infamous Shark Zippo, it was beautiful.

[touchandburn]

LMFAO... it's not a shirt that says 'I'm With Stupid'... although hot fighting sex will eventually make it into a short I write, I'm sure.
