The boy had no visible mutation and he hated himself. He hated being a mutant, he hated this curse, he hated mutants. He threw another punch at the blue mutant. /p

Kurt sat up slowly, his eyes lowered so he didn't have to stare at the obvious lack of white wings. It hurt to see it, Kurt remembered when he first met Warren in the ring, how afraid he had been by the sad boy with wings. Warren held out a hand and Kurt stared at his hand before taking it, letting Warren help him up. Kurt winced, holding his side. Xavier released the boy causing him to fall over. Then he saw the group of people watching him, anger brewing in all of them. They adored Kurt, he was kind and gentle and their friend.

Kurt eyes found Warren's, Ororo knew then why and hugged him gently.

He wondering if Kurt had ever got drunk. "Common" he huffed at Kurt, waving a hand. Kurt watched him nervously before following. "vhere are ve going?" he asked softly, aching all over. His tail was dropping behind him, his hands hung by his side. He had a full view of Warren's back, it looked so empty. Warren glanced back at him "we're going to get drunk, I have a stash" Kurt didn't bother asking why Warren had a stash of alcohol, everyone knew he drank heavily at night. As they walked, Kurt watched Warren's shirt pull over the muscles of his back, how there was bumps where his wings had been. Kurt felt tears suddenly well up. He reached out a hand, inches away from touching Warren's back before they reached Warren's room. Kurt quickly pulled his hand away as Warren opened his door./p

Kurt slowly walked over, keeping his golden eyes on Warren. He sat down slowly, wincing as his broken rib seemed to stab into his side. Warren gave him one pack "this will probably get you buzzed" He took one of his own, opened it, and drank it quickly. Kurt watched him before grabbing one, glancing at it, he hadn't drank before and hadn't really planned to, but the agony in his mind, the constant thought of Warren's wings burning, dieing… Kurt shook his head, opening it and took a drink. He coughed, it tasted terrible and smelt worse. Warren grinned, already opening his second./p

By the time Kurt downed his fourth his head was spinning. "Varren" he mumbled, his head leaning against the cool wall, "Es tut mir Leid" his head rolled so he face Warren. His brain was fuzzy, he seemed unable to speak much english or even german for that matter. His tongue was heavy in his mouth and his blood felt heavy. Warren raised one eyebrow "why? you didn't do anything" Kurt's tail curled lazily and he sighed heavily "your Vings mein Engle" Warren frowned slightly and looked away from Kurt, staring at the dark room around them. /p

It was an odd feeling, one he hadn't felt in a long time. He wondered if Kurt had ever kissed someone and if Kurt even liked guys that way. Warren also knew the blue mutant should hate him, they had fought so much, Warren had hurt Kurt and Kurt just kept forgiving him; so why couldn't Kurt forgive himself? Warren leaned forward slowly, watching as Kurt's eyes widened, and kissed him gently. /p

He flushed deep red, shaking his head, ridding himself of the thought. Kurt leaned heavily on Warren causing Warren to blush even more./p

He wondering if Kurt had ever got drunk. "Common" he huffed at Kurt, waving a hand. Kurt watched him nervously before following. "vhere are ve going?" he asked softly, aching all over. His tail was dropping behind him, his hands hung by his side. He had a full view of Warren's back, it looked so empty. Warren glanced back at him "we're going to get drunk, I have a stash" Kurt didn't bother asking why Warren had a stash of alcohol, everyone knew he drank heavily at night. As they walked, Kurt watched Warren's shirt pull over the muscles of his back, how there was bumps where his wings had been. Kurt felt tears suddenly well up. He reached out a hand, inches away from touching Warren's back before they reached Warren's room. Kurt quickly pulled his hand away as Warren opened his door./p

Kurt slowly walked over, keeping his golden eyes on Warren. He sat down slowly, wincing as his broken rib seemed to stab into his side. Warren gave him one pack "this will probably get you buzzed" He took one of his own, opened it, and drank it quickly. Kurt watched him before grabbing one, glancing at it, he hadn't drank before and hadn't really planned to, but the agony in his mind, the constant thought of Warren's wings burning, dieing… Kurt shook his head, opening it and took a drink. He coughed, it tasted terrible and smelt worse. Warren grinned, already opening his second./p

By the time Kurt downed his fourth his head was spinning. "Varren" he mumbled, his head leaning against the cool wall, "Es tut mir Leid" his head rolled so he face Warren. His brain was fuzzy, he seemed unable to speak much english or even german for that matter. His tongue was heavy in his mouth and his blood felt heavy. Warren raised one eyebrow "why? you didn't do anything" Kurt's tail curled lazily and he sighed heavily "your Vings mein Engle" Warren frowned slightly and looked away from Kurt, staring at the dark room around them. /p

Kurt trembled under his touch, his skin hot and sensitive. "I don't want you going around letting yourself get beat up" Warren said with a sigh, his thumb brushing Kurt's swollen skin.

He flushed deep red, shaking his head, ridding himself of the thought. Kurt leaned heavily on Warren causing Warren to blush even more./p

Warren glanced at Kurt, wondering if it was him being drunk or the truth that let these words slip out. Kurt moved so he rested on the wall in front of Warren, his eyelids half closed. Warren wanted to touch him, to hold him, to kiss him, to explore everything little detail on Kurt's body, but he didn't. Kurt was drunk, he didn't know what he was saying. Kurt pouted a bit when Warren walked away and sat on his bed. /p
