X-Men Fan Fiction ❯ To Have You Back Again ❯ To Have You Back Again ( One-Shot )

[ A - All Readers ]

I was gonna do Rogue's first, then last night I was listening to one
of my cd's and this song came on, and my first thought was
of Bobby, so I just had to write this story for him. I own nothing
not the characters or the song, which belong to Ms Patty Loveless,
the song is "To Have You Back Again", well Bye Ya'll.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bobby sat in the kitchen long after Storm had left, he starting
thinking about what he had learned, while he was glad to finally
have answers to the questions that had plagued him for so long
he still wasn't sure what to do with the information John had given
him

*Love, love's a chameleon.
Makes one-in-a-million feel like to much of the same.
But leave, leave it behind you.
And love will remind you.
It was only you that changed.*

Bobby stared at the other who was looking at his out-stretched hand
in something like wary awe, Bobby met the boys intense brown eyes
and was more then a little pleased when the other boy finally reached
out his hand to take Bobby's. "I'm John" was all he said and Bobby felt
his smile grow wider though he wasn't sure why.

*Oh I'd give all my dreams.
Give up my home and everything I've ever known to have you back again.
To have you back again, to have you back again.
I'd stand in the rain, no place to hide. *
Drown in my shame, swallow my pride.
To have you back again, to have you back again.*

At first Bobby was mad at John for what the other boy had
pulled in Ms, Monrou's class, but the longer he thought about
it, the clearer it became that John wasn't trying to gain Rogue's
attention. He was helping Bobby gain Rogue's attention, after
all Bobby knew John's powers as well if not better then he knew
his own, and if John didn't want that fireball iced it wouldn't have
been iced. Bobby grinned as he kept walking reminding himself to
find a way to thank John later for being such a great best-friend.

*Time, time is a river.
Flowing forever, away from the sound of your heart.
Only you can break this silence, whisper forgiveness.
Let me back in your arms again.*

Bobby didn't know what these people wanted or even who they
were, all he knew was he had to find John to make sure the other
boy was alright. He knew they wouldn't take John without a fight,
and in a way that was what bothered him, living on the streets for
as long as John had made sure John would never sleep through
something like this. It was only after he had seen the fire user with
his own eyes and knew that John was okay did he wonder where
Rogue was, it was something he had failed to take notice of until
after his friend had left.

*Oh I'd give all my dreams.
Give up my home and everything I've ever known to have you back again.
To have you back again, to have you back again.
I'd stand in the rain, no place to hide.
Drown in my shame, swallow my pride.
To have you back again, to have you back again.*

Bobby was worried, he hadn't seen or heard from John since the
other boy had left and that was what worried him. He knew John
would never worry him unless there was no other choice, and not
for the first time since John had walked off the Blackbird, leaving
himself and Rogue staring after the other boy he wondered what had
happened to John and prayed the fire user was safe.

*And I know I never loved you like you needed to be loved.
But I know that I could learn to if we both had faith enough.*

Bobby couldn't believe what he was seeing, he knew it had to be
true though because after all he was seeing it with his own two
eyes. There standing next to Magneto was John, and he felt his
heart ache inside his chest, on some level he knew that not only
was John on Magneto's side but that he'd have to face the other boy
and pray that neighter one of them died. He was so glad when Logan
told him to take John on, because he had to be the one to do this, he
had to face John himself, and hope that in the end he was strong enough
to face what he had done.

*Oh I'd give all my dreams.
Give up my home and everything I've ever known to have you back again.
To have you back again, to have you back again.
I'd stand in the rain, no place to hide.
Drown in my shame, swallow my pride.
To have you back again, to have you back again.*

Bobby came back to himself and tried in vain to hold back the tears he
felt trying to escape, he had cried enough he knew over John to fill
the ocean 'but what about John' a little voice in his mind wondered
'how many tears do you think John has cried over you? You chose
a girl you couldn't even touch over him, you chose race of people
who hate and fear you over him, you chose everyone else over him.
How many tears has that cost him Bobby? How many nights has he had
to lay awake and know that to the man he loved there would always be
someone or something more importent then him? It doesn't seem like
John's the bastard here Bobby, you are' and Bobby couldn't argue with
them, he was a bastard, and he didn't deserve the love and trust John had
placed in him. After everything that had happened in a way going to Magneto
was the only place for John, maybe if he had payed more attention Magneto
wouldn't have had a chance at John to start with. He still awoke with nightmares
sometimes about the look in John eyes the night he had faced him and he knew
those eyes would haunt him for the rest of his life, suddenly he knew what it
was he had to do, he just hoped and prayed that it wasn't to late.
