I have written some fan fictions before this, never got them finished, but hopefully this will be different because it will be a lot shorter than most of my other stories. I like consturctive critisism, however,I do not like flames but if you send them to me I am happy to say I will either ignore it, or if it is particularly annoying or stupid I will publicly laugh at it so don't bother. If you don't like the pairing, too bad, deal with it and don't read the story. I hope you enjoy it, but I am a bit rusty, so here-goes. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own x-men or I wouldn't be sitting here writing this.
Kitty sat straight up in bed, breathing short and ragged. She had had another nightmare. Rogue was gone on a mission with most of the other x-men. She looked around her room, the shadows that lurking at every blink of an eye and howling winds, and lightening and thunder made the perfect scene to scare the beegeezus out of her.
Standing on the edge of her bed, Kitty jumped of and landed near the door. Flipping on the light switch Kitty looked around slowly. Creeping close to her bed she knelt down to examine under her bed for monsters or something of that nature. With a sigh of relief Kitty jumped onto her bed.
A crack of lightening and a roar of thunder send her running into the hallway to look for some company. Only three people were left in the mansion and she ran through the list quickly. Logan would slaughter her if she woke him and the professor was locked in Cerebro. So that left Fuzzy.
Kurt wouldn't mind. He was her best friend after all. She just hoped that he slept with clothes on.
The hallway was dark and shadows leered at her as she ran as fast as she could to Kurt's room. Phasing through the door, Kitty looked around. It was plain except for the bedside table. It held an old, tattered bible, a picture of his parents and himself, and a picture of him and her. She remembered that day.
She had been upset because Lance and her had broken up and Kurt had made an elaborate picnic to cheer her up. They had eaten in the garden, surrounded by the mesmerizing scent of the flowers. As it grew dark Kurt had brought out a stereo and had asked her to dance. She had agreed. Amara and Jubilee had spied on them and had taken pictures. Kitty had been angry at first, but now she was glad they had taken them.
"Keety?" yawned Kurt as he blinked his golden eyes at her. "Vat are you doing here?" Kitty jumped, startled out of her memories. "I had a nightmare. I didn't want to be alone." Kurt sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard. He patted the spot next to him and she crawled under the blanket next to him.
"Vat vas zee nightmare about?" he asked her. She looked down at her hands. "I don't remember. But I was just so scared. I was even afraid there were monsters under my bed." She laughed. The valley girl tone was gone.
A flash of lightening and another crack of thunder made her jump and cower into his side.
He put a comforting arm around her. This was unlike her. She was usually calm and collected, happy and strong. But now she was like a small child. "Eet's only thunder and lightening Keety."
"I know. I don't knew what's wrong with me." After a moment of comfortable silence she spoke again. "Kurt?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay since Amanda?" Amanda had broken up with Kurt three weeks ago. He had been crushed, he had moped around for two weeks before she had managed to get him to joke around like normal, but she wasn't sure how he really was.
"I am fine Katzchen. I liked Amanda a lot, but I loved anozer girl all along. I am afraid she vill never like me like zat though." He looked at her.
"I'm sure she'll like you Fuzzy. Who doesn't like you?" she smiled at him.
Another crack of thunder and Kitty grabbed Kurt's arm for dear life.
"You don't like zee lightening and thunder do you?" Kitty managed a weak smile.
"How's you guess?" she asked sarcastically.
"Vell, by zee way you jump every time eet sounds I vould say you don't like eet much." Kurt smiled down at her.
"Anyway, who is this girl you like? How couldn't she like you? What is she like? Do I know her?" Kurt chuckled at this and sighed.
"She is a sweet girl, always sinking about ozers and helping zem. She eez a good friend, actually. She eez smart, funny, she knowz I am a mutant and she doezn't mind. She eez so beautiful." Kitty watched as he continued to describe this girl. She seemed so amazing. She finally realized the feeling she had as she listened to his obvious love for this girl. It was jealousy. Shaking her head slightly Kitty tuned back in to what he was saying. "You know her very well Katzchen. Sie ist mein bester Freund.(1)" Kitty looked at him confused.
"I still don't speak German Kurt." He smile. "I know."
"Give me a hint?" Kitty looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.
"I'll tell you vat. I vill tell you in German who eet eez I love." Kitty looked crestfallen for didn't understand a word of German, but had an idea that made her agree.
"Ich liebe Dich." Kurt looked at her meaningfully, but knowing she wouldn't understand. Kitty memorized the words. She smiled at him and stood from the bed.
"Thank you for letting me stay for a while." She bent down and kissed his cheek.
As soon as she walked out of the room she bolted down the hallway to her room and turned on her laptop.
"I love the internet." She said as she found a German to English online translator. Typing in the words Ich liebe Dich Kitty waited, and waited, and waited. What is taking this thing so long? She grew frustrated as it processed. It was probably going to come back saying there was a technical error or something like that. Finally the words appeared across her computer scream: I love you. Kitty gasped and sat shocked. Climbing into bed she took one last look at the computer screen and smiled as she began to plan for tomorrow, or later that day depending on how one looked at it.
(1) She is my best friend.
