Title: Strong for you

Author's note: Don't be too hard with me - it's my first O/K-story in English and English is not my mother language (it's German - so I don't have any problems with the German parts)!

Strong for you

by Blue furry elf

~~*~~*~~

It was a dark, stormy night. The wind hit the trees and the leaves with all might. Rain poured down in streams. Kurt was sitting in the window, staring outside at this "end of the world". It was raining for almost two weeks - since Jean died at Alkali Lake. She was hurt - he felt it within his heart and it tored him apart. He wanted to take care of her, but she seemed to be so strong. He thought about her. She, who was the strongest and bravest he knew - she wouldn't allow him that - he knew that fact for sure. But to look into her unbelievable blue eyes - to see the unshed tears - was almost too much for him. "Gott, sei mein Zeuge, ich werde für dich stark sein, Ororo!"[i] He promised loud. Then he disappeered with a BAMF.

He reapeers in front of her door. After s soft knocking he slowly opened the door to Ororo's room. There she was, standing by the window, staring outside. Lightling stroke and the thunder shook the mansion. "What do you want?" Her voice was full of tears and anger. "Leave me alone!" "Ich wollte nur..."[ii] He was so nervous, he first didn't realize that he muttered in German. "I just wanted to look after you. You seemed to be..." His voice vanished at the look of her. Lightling illuminated her dark skin and white hair. All he could do was gasping for air. "I seemed to be what?" Her eyes shone white. "Ein Engel! Du siehst aus wie ein Engel!"[iii] She took a step towards him, her eyes loosing the color of ice, turning into blue again. With a softer tone, she answered him. "In English, please, Kurt! You must know, that here, I believe no one speaks your mother language!" "I'm sorry. But... you were so beautifull in that light. You.... I said that you looked like an angel to me." He smiled

shyly, turning his blushing face away from her. Ororo gave him a soft, warm smile then she closed the gap between them. Now she was standing next to him, feeling the warmth of his skin. She could even feel the soft dark fur on his skin. Those soft and tiny little hairs

all over his so well formed and trained body.

Kurt took a deep breath. He knew he was more the shy guy and not so self- sonfident as Logan or any other there at the mansion. But he had a promise to be fullfilled even if that meant for him to be stronger than he could be himself. He had to be stong for both of them - he had sworn that by God. Then closed the last gap between the two of them.

He felt her warm, soft skin against his. Soft coolness against his hot, almost burning (he believed so) flesh. Then he laid his arms around her and pulled her against his body. He could feel her shiver under his touch. But he couldn't tell if from discomfort or from something else. He hoped it was the last as a reason. Her body trembled and she couldn't fight back her tears any longer. His embrace was so warm and touching, that she couldn't hold back the

flow any more. Kurt felt the moisture of her tears on the fur of his shoulders. He felt her trembling and silent sobs as she tried to suppress her tears. Slowly he stroked with one hand caressingly over her head.

"Shhh. Just let go, Ororo. I'll be here by you. And I'll be strong for you."
