Drabble

Title: Lessons
Character/Pairing: Wolverine/Rogue
'Verse: Movieverse
Rating: PG

She learns combat from Logan and loves every blow.

She tells herself she wants independence. She wants to come to the team on her own terms, to bring something besides her skin. She wants control.

She thinks that if he hits her hard enough, and it hurts badly enough, her body will re-learn how to react to him. And when it doesn't, when it betrays her, retribution is swift and painful. Bruises blossom on her flesh, underneath the leather.

Rogue learns combat. But her body learns how pleasure and pain are one in the same.

And that's a dangerous thing.

Combination of pleasure and pain brings confusion and that's sweetly done in your drabble. Love that you can perceive a lot with very few words.

Hum, I'm really liking the format drabble. Short and so very pleasant ^^.

Thanks!

Drabbles are great, especially if you've got just a snippet of something that you want to explore.

Oooh, very interesting. That second last line: "But her body learns how pain and pleasure are one in the same" is especially provoking. Lovely job. :)
