Sketchy here, with another story from the 'Kickin' Butt and Savin' Frogs' series.
...Yeah, it's late. But it's here now. Me and Kchuu have been doing other things, some of which may or may not make their way onto this account. Either way, enjoy this next installment!

Warning: Some sexual themes in this chapter.

Like Father, Like Son Chap1

Todd loved art class nowadays. Scratch that, he loved being at school nowadays, and that was saying something! Two weeks had passed since the incident at the institute. Todd's cuts had all healed over, no scars from them, and the hype about his sexual preference had blown over (granted, 'Tro still didn't leave him alone about it). He saw Kurt everyday in art class, and they would just fill the time with talking. Todd was waiting in said class right now, actually getting there before Kurt for once. He hadn't gone to help Kurt with probation, partially because Kurt didn't want another soap incident to happen, partly because Pietro had been watching him like a hawk lately. But if Todd remembered it right, today was Kurt's last day of punishment, and that could open up a lot of possibilities.

Kurt crouched silently. His yellow eyes peered at his target. With uncanny deftness, his hands opened the latch. He slid languidly through the small window, his hands and feet making no noise as he entered the room. He slunk low to the ground, silent... His target was in sight...

Kurt jumped up right behind Todd, a mischievous grin plastered across his face. "GOTCHA!" He began tickling the younger boy vigorously.

Todd let out a high-pitched screech, which collapsed into a fit of laughter. Seeing a familiar face out of the corner of his eye, he tried to grab the other boys hands as he said "Wha-hahaha- t are you do-hahaha-ing yah doing y-hahaha-ah fuzzball?"

Todd decided he was very lucky that it was just him and Kurt in the room right now, if another student, or even the teacher (Who had left mumbling about a need for coffee) were here, then there'd be some really weird rumors going around by the end of the day.

Kurt continued tickling, his heart leaping at the sight of Todd's laughing face. His tail wriggled out of its grip on Kurt's waist, and reached around to tickle Todd's back. "You can't escape my special move!"

Todd was squealing with laughter, his face going red from the lack of air. Fuzzy is sooooo dead if anyone walks in here an' see's me like this.

Secretly, Todd loved the attention. Knowing that someone he liked would touch him, whether in a kiss or like this, really made him happy inside. Not that he would ever admit it, or not put up a fight.

"Leggo Daw-haha-g!" Todd tried to wipe the smile off his face, failing miserably. What he did manage to accomplish was grabbing and holding back Kurt's right hand, not that it mattered since the other two limbs were still causing him to collapse his lungs with laughter. He writhed against the other boy, instinctively trying to escape the tail that was causing the majority of the laughing fit.

Kurt put his face close to Todd's. "Saaayyy uncle!" Kurt increased the velocity. He had only tried to tickle another person once, and they seemed repulsed by it. But seeing how truly happy Todd's face looked... so happy he couldn't hide it... Kurt felt unbearable joy.

Tears from the laughter were gathering in Todd's eyes, his face was beet red. He made a last ditch effort to avoid the remaining hand tickling his front, pressing himself against Kurt so the blue mutant couldn't reach the area. But that didn't stop the now moving twice as fast tail." I -haha- give yo I give! Uncle!"

Kurt brushed his nose up against Todd's, grinning widely. His tail curled back into his shirt. He pressed his lips to Todd's briefly before pulling back to a seated position in his chair. He couldn't wipe the big, goofy smile off his face as he watched Todd wipe the tears of laughter off his reddened cheeks. It felt like nothing could spoil his mood. "So!" He said, leaning towards the gasping teen. "Tonight's my first night off probation! Are ve going to do something?"

Todd plopped back down on his seat, still breathing heavily and smiling widely. "Definitely dawg. Where yah wanna go?" Checking the door quickly to see if anyone was coming in, he leaned close to Kurt and whispered in the disguised ear. "But what was with that sneakin' up on me yo, yer bein kinda reckless." He grinned and leaned his head onto Kurt's. "Not that I'm complainin'."

Kurt slid a hand over Todd's shoulder, and gave the younger boy a squeeze. "I made sure no one was coming... Vhat, you doubt my espionage skills?" His ears pricked up under the hologram. "Oh, somevone's coming." He pulled his hand back, drawing it across Todd's back. Todd was wearing his old shirts again, but even through the double-layer of cloth... Kurt could feel those old scars that Rogue had told him about. The reason why they had to keep their relationship a secret... If the bullies hurt him that bad just for being bi... imagine what they'd do to a kid who was gay with the German foreign exchange student...

Todd sat up straight in his seat, watching the door intently. He still didn't know how Kurt could hear that well; maybe it had something to do with his pointed ears?

The art teacher walked into the room, holding a steaming mug of coffee. She gave a glare at the only two students present. She walked to her desk mumbling about how kids took advantage of her 'it's fine if you're a little late' policy.

Todd gave a sigh of relief, the teacher still didn't suspect a thing. He sneaked a look over at Kurt, trying to imagine him without the stupid disguise. It'd been a long time since he'd seen the real Kurt, and he kinda missed the blue fur. He let his eyes and mind wander back to the teacher, who was now glaring at the other students who trickled through the door.

The teacher-No, no one at ALL knew about them being together. That was fine, though he really hated needing to be so careful all the time. Todd had thought that after Kurt had gotten Baldy's approval, that they could be a bit more open about their relationship, but if anything Kurt had tried to hide it even more.

Is Fuzzy afraid he'll get laughed at or something? Or... Todd's expression fell. It was so obvious! Kurt still remembered how he had gotten beaten up for being bi, and was afraid that if he said he was gay, he'd be picked on even worse. Todd gave a sigh, he couldn't blame Kurt for that.

Kurt scootched his chair a little ways away from Todd's. "So, did you do the homework assignment, mein freund?" He poked at Todd's sketchbook. "Do you have any new pictures in there?" Kurt glanced up at Todd's face, which was covered in a sort-of worried/frustrated expression. "...Are you okay?" Did I do something to offend him?

Todd forced his face back to the normal grin he usually wore. "Nah yo, I'm fine." He flipped open his sketchbook, skipping over most of the pages. "We were supposed to draw portraits of a family member, right?" He stopped on a page in the middle of the book. "Fred's the only one of the 'hood that'll stay still long enough to draw, so I ended up drawin' him while he was sleepin' in front of the tv." He eyed the pages that came after the one he was on, and made a mental note to not flip to them. Can't have the furball know that all I draw nowadays is him. His head gets swelled enough from sneakin' up on me like he did earlier.

Kurt reached out a hand. "Can I see? That's really good!"

Todd gulped. I hate irony, yo.

"Uh, can't ya see it from here?"

"Come onnn, you know vhat I mean!" He reached out his hand. "Vhat, you think you're other vones aren't good?" He reached his other hand into the bag that still lay, cast aside, behind his chair. Withdrawing a black sketchbook, he flipped it open. "Look, I drew my parents." He made it face towards Todd. It was drawn with slow, focused lines, and clearly based off a photo. Technically, it wasn't great. But Kurt had spent a long time on it. His foster father and mother looked at the viewer kindly, and in the middle was a young Kurt-carefully drawn without the ears or the tail, of course. He gave a little sigh. I still kind of miss them sometimes...

Todd couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Kurt had obviously put a lot of effort into this, a sign that he really cared about who he was drawing, and they all looked so happy in this. Like a family should, and so unlike Todd memories of his parents... "Not bad Fuzzy. So you weren't, um, blue, as a kid?"

Kurt turned the book back around. "No, I vas blue, alright." He chuckled. "But I can't have the art teacher questioning vhy my parents are holding a plush toy!" He set the book down on the desk. "So, can I see yours, now? I know you draw vayyy more than I do!"
He made playful grabby hands at Todd's sketchbook.

Todd gave a fake whimper at the other boys question. "Awww, c'mon yo. Maybe I have stuff in here yah don't wanna see!" He leaned far forward, staring into Kurt's eyes, and trying to look very serious (and to not burst out in laughter while he did so) "Things that could SCAR YOUR MIND. Like BLOBFISH or CAMEL SPIDERS."

Kurt laughed. "Vell, camel spiders ARE creepy, but... you know I think blobfish is totally adorable! In an ugly sort of way, that is..." He reached past the boy for the book. "I think there IS stuff in there you don't vant me to see! ... But I don't think blobfish is vhat you are talking about..."

Todd gave a gulp, Fuzzy was not gonna let this go, was he? Well, when in doubt, change the subject! "Hey, Blobfish. Blob fish, yah thinkin' what I am? Fredster as a puffer fish!" If that works I will never pickpocket again...For the next week.

Kurt laughed at the mental image. "Yeah, that's vhat you should draw next!" Now he was really curious. vhat does mein froggy friend have in there that he doesn't want me to see? If he's goin' this far, it must be good! "but seriously, man, I vant to see your other pictures!"

Todd gave a pouting face and clutched the sketchbook. "Only if yah can pry it from my cold, unmoving hands!" He fidgeted in his seat. Part of him wanted Kurt to see the sketches, the other part screamed 'Hell No'.

Kurt shrugged and heaved a mock sigh. "Oh vell, I give up... NOT!" His tail whipped out, under the desk, and started tickling Todd's side.

Todd gave a startled cry, which turned into giggling. Feeling several of the students turn to stare at him, Todd blushed furiously. He glared at Kurt and whisper-yelled "That was uncalled fo' dawg! We're out in public fo' cryin' out loud! Show some self-contro-"

Todd suddenly realized that he was no longer holding his sketchbook, and that it was resting in Kurt's lap, page flipped to the one that came right after Fred's portrait.

The expression on Kurt's face was nothing less than touched. "Aww, Todd... this is... great." his eyes were glued to the page. On it was a pencil sketch of Kurt, leaning against a tree and smiling. It was the blue boy's undisguised form, and the smooth arc of his tail hung down behind his legs. It was clear that it had taken some time, and it was surprisingly accurate. Kurt's heart rate increased. Todd had noticed all the little details... from the length of his ears to the stubborn locks of hair that wouldn't lie flat. "I... I'm honored, this is... unglaublich... But vhy didn't you vant to show me?" He flipped through a few pages afterwards, all sketches of his undisguised self. A huge grin came to his face at the last one- a quick drawing of Kurt lying sprawled on his back on a tree branch.

"Because it's embarrassing, yo." Todd whispered softly, eying the students who had been staring at him until a moment ago. His gaze wandered slowly back to Kurt, head down and peeking up through his bangs. "This thing is practically my diary yo. I only draw what...What I'm thinking about." He dropped his eyes to stare intensely at Kurt's shoes.
He only drew what he thought about, and virtually every page he'd drawn in the past two weeks were filled with Fuzzy blue elves. Jeeze, I'm hopeless.

Kurt felt a stirring of emotion in his stomach. His inducer's heat-sensors were probably going off the charts, judging by the bright crimson his hologram's cheeks were turning.

"That's really... really sweet... I've been thinking about you a lot, too... the only issue is my lack of drawing skill." He laughed, a little nervously. Though I imagine just fine... Kurt slid the book back to Todd on the table they shared. "S-so..." He said, fighting the urge to jump the younger boy right then and there, "did you have anything... specific in mind for tonight?"

Todd let his eyes creep back up to Kurt's, who was blushing as much as Todd thought he had been himself. "Glad yah like it Fuzzbutt. Though I still feel like a creeper." He tilted his head back to normal, looking Kurt fully in the face. "Don't know where tah go. We could go to the Gutbomb again, or maybe catch a movie." Maybe a chick flick, then we can just sit in the back and make out the whole time.

Kurt giggled. Fuzzbutt was possibly the most hilarious nickname ever. "Hmm, a movie does sound fun... But it's my first night off probation... I feel like ve should do something extra special!" He looked away, poking his chin with one finger in thought. I vould suggest going to a party... but I don't know vhat's going on tonight... And I don't know if Todd'd feel comfortable vith that... a movie vould probably be fine...

Todd tried to think, where was a good place to go? Jeeze, like you'd eveh know places to have fun, toad-boy.

Todd frowned, did anyone know places to go? Lance and Fred wouldn't, He'd never ask 'Tro, so that left- oh duh.

"Let's ask Boom-Boom yo. She knows all the hot spots, an' I happen tah know that she goes down the freshman hallway to get to her fifth period class."

Almost on cue, the bell signaling the start of fourth period sounded. "All right class, open your sketchbooks to your family portraits, I'll be going around to check them off."

Kurt grinned. "That sounds great!" Tabitha was the perfect person to ask about this kind of thing, she always knew where the kickin' party was! "I'm really excited!" He turned his face away from Todd, to present his book to the teacher.

"Very good Mr. Wagner." The teacher looked over at Todd's sketchbook, which was still on the page of Kurt on a tree branch. "Mr. Tolensky, I hope you don't expect me to believe you have a... Cat-elf-demon-humanoid in your family."

Todd glared angrily at the teacher. "'S not a demon yo! And what if he is a part of my fam', you got a problem?"

The teacher raised an eyebrow at Todd's outburst, deciding she didn't want to get in a fight with one of her most stubborn students. "My apologies. Then it's your cat-elf-human is your portrait project? I'd have to take off points for...Lack of realism."

Todd frowned at the teacher, he didn't like her to begin with, but she was dissing Kurt now. That deserved retaliation. "Yeah, it is! So don't go callin' him a demon yo!"

Kurt nudged him. "Todd!" He hissed. "It's okay! Don't get a bad grade for me!" He felt a little sad at the demon comparison, but those feelings were greatly overshadowed by the happiness, and how honored he felt... at Todd calling him family... I vonder if some day... ve could BE part of a family… But his heart started beating too fast at this to continue that train of thought.

Todd gave a look over at Kurt; He didn't like this, not one bit. He knew Kurt was sensitive to the whole 'demon' thing, he had known since long before they had gotten together. And now that he was with Kurt, he had a duty to protect him against things like this.
But Kurt also said he was okay this time...
Todd gave an angry huff, and flipped to the page with Fred on it. "There, yah happy?"

"Not really, but you're score certainly improved from this." The teacher scribbled down the score in her notebook, then walked back to her desk. "Today is a free study day. You may draw or paint whatever you wish, but you must be working on something."

Kurt gave Todd a smile. "Vhy don't you draw vith reference this time?" He raised his hand. "Teacher! Can Todd and I go outside and paint trees?" The teacher turned, looking enthusiastic. "Of course you may! The drawing boards are right over here..."

Later, the two boys sat under a tree. Kurt propped his drawing board on a rock in front of him. He looked around, and switched off his inducer. "So... Do I look like you remember?" He gave a little pose. Under his inducer, he was wearing a red tank top, and blue shorts.

Todd blushed like crazy, had he ever seen Fuzzy show that much skin-er, fur before? Nah, I woulda remembered THIS.

Todd gave a grin, and could feel something in his stomach stir. "Yah look even better dawg, hard to remember perfection enough to draw it, yo."

He let his eyes wander around the other boys body, never once lowering them to begin a sketch. Though it was doubtful that he even remembered they were supposed to draw something. Damn, Kurt is SEXY.

Kurt, who had been staring at his blank paper, felt Todd's eyes on him. He looked down at himself, then sheepishly at Todd. "Oops! Sorry, sometimes the fur is just too hot for me to wear my full costume under the inducer... And I mean, it's not like anyvone sees it, right?" Turning his eyes back to the blank paper, he lay back against the tree, his arms resting on the ground at his side. His tail quickly grabbed the charcoal and poised to start sketching.

"Hey yo, I ain't complainin'." Todd folded his legs to sit Indian-style, grateful for the soft grass and-"Sure is a nice view, huh?"
It was, in fact, a nice view. The trees were leafy and green, and the sun was shining with only a few puffy clouds to accompany it. However, the only thing Todd was looking at was the blue mutant in front of him. Schoolwork be damned, this was the first time he'd actually 'seen' Kurt in weeks!

Kurt's tail began drawing some lines for trees with surprisingly deft movements. Glancing back at Todd, Kurt noticed that he wasn't drawing at all... Just gawking at him. "You know, ve actually have to draw to get a grade in this class... Is... something wrong?" Kurt's heart sank. Was his appearance so freaky that Todd couldn't stop looking at it? Maybe he had been drawing the fuzzy form to try to get used to it, or because of a... dark fascination, like boys drawing monsters... Kurt slouched, flicking the inducer back on. "There, is that better?" He said, with a sullen expression. His tail kept flicking, practically drawing on it's own.

Todd started. "Aw c'mon yo, why'd yah turn that thing back on?" He shifted around to sit in his normal crouch, his face twisting into a mixture of annoyed and pouting. He had really just wanted to look (technically 'stare with lust') at Kurt for the rest of the period, why'd Kurt have to ruin his fun?

"Yah afraid someone'll see yah?"

Kurt turned his face from Todd, to hide the hurt expression. I'm afraid you'll keep seeing me... and not like vhat you do...

"Nah, no vone comes out here during class... it's just..." He took a deep breath, calming his nerves. "I'm already lucky that you're vith me now... I don't want to ruin my chances by reminding you you're dating a giant furball..." Kurt couldn't make himself look back at Todd's expression. He was too afraid of what he'd find there...

Todd's mouth practically hit the ground. Kurt thought...He thought Todd didn't like how he looked? That was insane, that was ridiculous, that was utter-

"Bullshit!"
Todd fell forward onto his hands and knees, then slid towards Kurt, his eyes never leaving the other boys face.
Soon he was practically on top of the other mutant. Grabbing Kurt's sketchbook and tossing it on the ground beside them, he leaned even further towards Kurt, hand seeking out the boys wrist and flipping off the inducer.
I'm looking at choo-" Todd said softly, eyes still on Kurt. "'Cause I like what I see."

Kurt turned his face to find Todd's right above his own. He looked into the younger boy's eyes. "Really? You like the... blue?" Kurt felt a twitchy feeling in his abdomen. Todd was so close... it seemed like forever since they had been together like this... Kurt reached up to hold Todd's waist, then faltered. If he really liked me... then vhy vouldn't he let me be with him vhen he was hurt in the shower? Vhy would you be so embarrassed in front of the boy you lo-like a lot?

Todd moved a little closer, trying to ignore the disturbing realization that Kurt had stopped his embrace halfway through.

"I REALLY like the blue, Kurt." He pressed his lips to the older boys, and his hands found their way off the ground and into Kurt's hair, pulling gently at the locks to make him come closer.

Hearing Todd say his name make Kurt's stomach do flip-flops. He gingerly reached his hands back up, resting on Todd's waist. His whole body tingled-he had forgotten how good this felt! Getting more into the kiss, he wrapped his arms around Todd and pulled him close. The younger boy's body felt so thin in Kurt's strong arms.

Todd smiled into the kiss. Kurt had finally put his arms around him; it had felt awkward to have them only halfway there.
Todd shifted his position so that he was kneeling on the ground between Kurt's legs, hands still giving light tugs at the other boy's hair.
Deciding to throw caution to the wind, Todd sent his tongue delving into Kurt's mouth, exploring the area, sharp fangs and all.

Kurt jerked back in shock, making his shoulders thud against the tree. But his tight embrace brought Todd with him. A rush of emotion surged through him. Kurt's heart thudded in his ears. Todd was practically lying on top of him! Kurt moaned slightly, caressing the younger boy's bony back, his tail practically tying itself in knots of emotion.

Feeling and being taken with Kurt's sudden movement made Todd realize he probably shouldn't have done that. But hell if he wasn't enjoying it, and by the sound of those soft moans, so was Kurt. Todd felt Kurt move against him, their bodies now pressed against each other. Pair that with the moaning and it was giving Todd severe...Urges.

He felt hot all over, his breathing got heavier. He pulled away from Kurt's mouth to gasp for air, his eyes meeting Kurt's. He felt the same sparks he had two weeks ago, only now ten times as strong, and ten times as fantastic.

The sudden break brought Kurt back to the real world. He pulled his hands back, placing them on Todd's chest. "We should..." he gasped for air, "..stop..." An extreme heat was building inside of him, and he was afraid that... if they kept going, he'd go much farther than he wanted to... right now... His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest. "We need to make something we can bring back to class..." another panting breath "so the teacher wouldn't think ve were just out here... dicking around..."

Still panting, and now leering down at the other boy, Todd gave a throaty whisper. "Oh yeah Fuzzball? What if I want to be out here 'dicking around'?" He leaned in again, softly kissing the bottom of Kurt's jaw. His hands slipped down to Kurt's waist, and his thumbs went slightly up under Kurt's shirt.
Stop right now slimeball, before Kurt hasta stop you himself...Maybe one more minute.

"Aahhhn!" At Todd's touch, Kurt's pelvis convulsed upwards despite himself. His body was thirsty for contact. And a long, slow throbbing in his crotch said he hungered for something else. He tried to catch his breath, and remain calm, but it had been WEEKS since he'd last... done ANYTHING like this... and he wanted more. His head lolled back against the tree, eyes closed in ecstasy. "Todd..." he half groaned, half whispered, totally absorbed in his feelings.

Maybe a LOT more minutes.

Todd felt his jeans grow disturbingly tight at Kurt's actions. Everything the blue mutant did just made Todd want him more.
His hands slid up Kurt's tank-top, and he felt the solid muscle underneath the soft fur. He continued kissing Kurt's jawline, moving upwards towards the pointed blue ear. When he finally reached it, his mind was a mess.

He was hot, he wanted the boy under him like crazy. All the feelings, the relationship that had built over the last two weeks, it was more than he could've imagined or hoped for. He wasn't good with feelings, but one thing he knew for sure. And he began to whisper it in Kurt's ear.
"I love y-"

The bell ending fourth period sounded. And all the uncontrollable urges Todd had been giving in too a moment ago suddenly vanished. He looked awkwardly at the tree that was now taking up most of his line of sight.
Harshly pulling away from the older boy, Todd began to stutter out an apology, moving away all the while. "S-s-s sorry dawg. Lost my head."

Kurt's eyes snapped open, and he looked at Todd with a flushed, lusty face. His expression quickly changed to one of profound hurt at the loss of Todd's warm body against his own. He rolled onto his side, clenching the grass in his fists while he tried to calm his heart down. He bit his lip, trying to will the strange feeling in his shorts to go away. "It's... *pant* okay... ... verdammt..." Grabbing the ground with all his strength was the only thing he could do to stop from grabbing Todd again... and not letting go this time...

Todd tried to pant out the feeling in his stomach and...groin area.
That bell just loved to ruin everything.
Head starting to clear, he wondered if Kurt had really heard him almost say 'I love you'. That would be...Well, Todd didn't know what that would be, but he doubted he and Kurt were ready for that step. Not that we didn't jump over a lot of boundaries with that little session.

He tried to stand up, stumbling a bit along the way. And finally remembered something important.
"Hey yo, we need to catch Boom-Boom before she hits her next class." Todd reached out a hand to help Kurt up.
"Guess we better go in tah catch her."

Kurt reached out his still shaking hand and took Todd's. Thinking about being burned at the stake pretty much killed your boner, so he was cool in that regard. He stood, brushing off his butt, and flicked his inducer back on. Letting out one last whoosh of air, he turned to Todd. "Yeah, let's go..." He left the drawing board sitting on the rock, he didn't really care about that that much anymore... He was mostly thinking about that night... When his curfew was extended to twelve... And there was no bell to stop him.

At the back of his mind, though, something bugged him. He thought he had heard Todd say something, but it was too quiet to make out. Maybe it was just heavy panting, but... the nagging feeling that it was something more was all he could think about the rest of the day...
