(I suck at titles, sorry- I don't know what to name this one. Also I finally learned how to put a "cut" in the post. ALSO, this fic doesn't have any sex, there's only kissing because this is a romantic relationship, but Tumblr is putting a "mature" label on it for some reason, so I apologise.)
Summary: Anna has one of those collars that negates her powers. And with it, a welcome break from her gloves. Remy is wearing his crop top again, and she decides to try a method of affection that's a little different.

Author's Note: You'll never guess! I'm ignoring canon stuff again! I miss him... (IN THIS, EVERYONE IS ALIVE AND OKAY!!! Also, in the show, Gambit tended to speak in third person (like, “Rogue always comes to Gambit's rescue!”). It’s probably just like, a personality quirk, because he does that in the comics as well, but for this I made him speak normally the whole time just so everything would be easier to understand. And I did write both of them with accents by cutting off some parts of words (for example, “doin’” instead of “doing"), and saying things like “ain’t”, but I didn’t want to go to all the trouble of also writing *all* the vowel sounds and pronunciation differences, because at that point it would just be harder to read, so… Please excuse the somewhat strange writing…)
----------------------------------------------
“Goodness, Remy…” Anna walked to the man leaning against the counter. “Are ya tryin’ to impress somebody? ‘Cause it’s workin’. I didn’ get to say this last time I saw ya- you look reeeal darn cute in that!”
Remy looked surprised. “Huh? ...Cute?” People usually liked to say.. Other things… About him. “That’s the word you pick to describe me..?”
“Why, yes it is.. I don’t suppose you’re goin’a get all shy on me now, are ya?”
“Well, I…” It seemed he ran out of comebacks quite fast when it came to her… She was one of the few people that could really make him flustered, and she knew it.
“Are ya rejectin’ my compliment, mister?” Anna went right up next to him, eyeing his exposed waist. He was muscular, but lean, not bulky like Hank or Logan.
“I just don’t get that one much.”
“It sure fits, don’t it~?”
She moved to place her hands on him, but paused as he interjected, “Wait, your gloves-”
She smiled, putting her hands on his lower back, which caused him to freeze up. “I’ve actually got my powers on pause, see~”
He turned a bit nervously to look down at her, a little too aware of her hands, but still trying to focus on what she was saying. “Oh, the collar…?”
“Mm-hmm, an’ I want to enjoy this time~” She moved round so that she was in front now, and went to kiss him.
He was a little taken aback. They got to do this so rarely… But quickly he adapted.. He returned the kiss, falling deeper in love with her by the minute.
The two stayed like that for a long moment, before she pulled away and grinned, and began to move to stand behind him. “Surely ya don’t mind…? I have just got to feel you~”
She put her hands back where they had been, then slowly slid them forward to rest right above his hips. “Showin’ off this delightful section.. such a pretty piece~”
His nerves fired immediately, the sensation making him lose all of his remaining cool. “Of course I- Hngh- I don’t, but–”
“What, sugar~?” She was right behind him now, with her arms around his waist, and trailed her fingertips across his skin, up from his hips, to his stomach, and began prodding up and down into his abs.
Remy yelped, doubling forward, laughter suddenly spilling out of him, as her teasing tone and slow, prolonged movements had given him so much anticipation that it overloaded everything else, rendering him unable to resist. No chance of him staying collected..
He had a sort of manufactured appearance for the public; suave, debonair, all those things; so Anna hadn’t really been able to elicit this type of thing from him much. Oh, she was thrilled. His laugh was in a similar register to his speaking voice, just more pitchy, and all that smoothness was gone- he sounded vulnerable; genuine.
“I ain’t hardly started and you’re already pleadin’.. Oooh, what a goldmine ya are~”
He couldn’t come up with much of a response, and stumbled a bit as he had gone too far with his body weight and tried to rebalance himself; but it was no use, he couldn’t think about anything except her hands. He sank to the floor and tried to curl into a ball, but she was quickly on top of him, flattening him onto his back, now skittering her fingertips up and down his sides.
The feeling sent him into a fresh fit of laughter. This was maddening, and he couldn’t do anything about it…
“Ah-! Hahahahaha!! Damnit-! Ahah- AHahahahaha!!”
Anna didn’t want to overwhelm him too quickly, so she stopped her attack for a moment. He tried to catch his breath, feeling how flushed he was already getting.
After catching his breath, he spoke quietly, “This is.. embarrassin’, chère…”
“Awww… Why, hun..?”
“..Just.. Not used to bein’.. Outta control, I guess..”
“Oh, but that’s the best part~! It ain’t like we got others watchin’..~”
“Mm…”
“If ya truly ain’t comfortable, I’ll stop an’ I won’t do it again, alright? But, I promise, if anything, this makes ya more desirable to me~”
He figured he must really be flushed now.. “You sure are convincin’… Okay, I’ll.. I’ll deal…”
As he spoke, she checked her position and made sure he was pinned evenly (by her sitting on his legs). She was so very pleased with him. “Thank ya, baby~”
She poised to attack once more. He had to put his hands over his face- He’d honestly had no idea it could get this bad.. He was so flustered he felt like his skin was nearly burning right off his skull.
Anna started off slow, wanting to see all the different types of reactions he’d have. She crawled her fingertips over his stomach. He was very jumpy… A stream of nervous giggles left him right away.
“What is it, sugar~? Ya never can seem to get to sayin’ whatever you’re tryin’a say…” She lightly prodded into his ribs now, watching him jolt each time she did.
“HAh-! H- Aarghhh- Thihihis is sohohoho– Ah, plehehehease..!!”
“This is a joy, is what it is~!” She paused her actions for a moment, bringing her hands to hover over his stomach. She watched him calm slightly, but she knew he was anticipating her starting again.
“No- no, it- it ain't, nohot- not eheven-”
“Aw, sorry, sugar, I just cain’t believe ya when you’re all giggly like that…” Her grin widened. “How’s about this: No stoppin’ until ya actually need me to~”
Her teases only continued to send his flustered levels past anything he had ever felt before. He didn’t actually hate this, especially coming from her, but… Eventually it was certainly going to be too much… “W- Well-” he started, then jumped as he felt her place her hands back on his stomach. “H- Eheh-!”
Anna had been tracking what made him react the most. She quickly swiped her fingertips across his abs, watching him squirm.
He felt his teeth grinding as he clamped his mouth shut, his instincts having suddenly kicked in (too late), making him try to stay quiet now. Of course that proved impossible- she broke him easily by drilling her fingertips into his waist, which sent him into yet another fit.
“YAH- Hahahahaha!! I ca- Ahh-aha- I can’t- AHhahHAhahahaha!!”
He was getting more frantic, having to move his hands to gripping for dear life into his hair so that he had something to hold on to, hopefully preventing himself from reflexively slugging her..
“Hmm, an’ what about this here~?” Anna cooed. She shifted down a bit and began to knead into his hips, as his pants were fairly low-waisted.
Upon hearing this, she took her hands off him, noting how red he was, and watched him breathe heavily until he calmed enough to properly talk.
“Awww, y’alright, babydoll?”
He was so tired, but being under her like this meant he got to be up close, and he loved her, and if this is what she wanted to do when she could touch him, he would just have to take it.
He rubbed his eyes and pushed his hair back out of his face. “Hahhhh…” He sighed, finally having caught most of his breath. “I’m.. okay.. but... Jeez, you owe me some normal lovin’ now…”
She got off his legs and knelt next to him, then leaned forward to kiss him again. “You got a deal~”
They kissed, and then she helped him up off the floor. “Ya know, I bet the floor’s pretty uncomfortable.. How’s about we go to my room and we finish this deal?”
Remy couldn’t help but get excited. “Ah, chère, I’ll never turn that down.”
