This was great. You nailed each character to the T. Great job.

I think you've nailed Logan's voice, his slight teasing, the edge, the worry underlaying it. I also liked the characterizations of Bobby and John, their slight peevishness with the decidedly more manly Logan, the way they baited each other, egged each other on. Bobby's jealousy. How Marie didn't know how to be with Logan and those two in the car at the same time. Very true to life, IMO.

“What do you say we take off, kid?” Logan grimaces, cracking his knuckles. It’s loud, and it makes my stomach churn.

“It hasn’t been five minutes yet,” I point out, for reasons I cannot fathom. Logan just propositioned me, whether it was serious or not, to run away with him. I twirl my hair and avoid his sweet, chocolate frosting colored eyes. He reaches across me and, instinctively, I recoil as much as possible. He gives me ‘the Laughlin eyebrow’, as I’ve affectionately named it, and mentally I bang my head against the dashboard. He pops open the glove box and snoops around. “I don’t think Professor Summers would appreciate you going through his things, Logan.”

**** The UST is killing me here. The whites of his eyes. His Laughlin brow. The confined intimacy of the car, the way his arm stretches out over her seat, the way she's rearranging her nightgown and her hair.

This Rogue is so true to the movies, I think. Sexually aware but unsure and inexperienced due to her mutation. Wise. A little sassy. Knows she's playing with fire.

I'm not so sure I'd always describe L&M as a sports car and a truck respectively, *lol*, but I liked the metaphor for this fic. And I'm now imagining this exchange inserted into X2. *sighs my shipper heart* Because there weren't enough moments in that film. Great short fic.

Author's Response: Thank you :) You give the best, most constructive reviews!

I really enjoyed reading this :D The ending was great, I love the symbolism.

Author's Response: Thanks :) I know that Logan's hot-headed, so he'd probably be more like a sports car, but I made him the truck because he's also very stubborn, like an old Chevy that doesn't want to start.

Oh I like. This was good *g*. You've got the delicious Roganness countered by Bobby and Pyro's childishness, which creates all this fantastic ust. And makes Logan even hotter and more....Loganny...than ever. Love it. Especially the glove box scene. I hope you do more like it :o)

Author's Response: I know, huh? Conveniently, Bobby and Pyro got out of the car just so Rogue and Logan could be alone :)
