Can I Keep You?
By: E-chan
Author's notes: I do not own X-men: Evolution. I just own the story. And this is my first X-men: Evolution fanfic I written. This fanfic is a Lance x Kitty fanfic. I love this duo. They have such a cute chemistry going on. Sorry Kurt x Kitty's fans. Um in this fanfic there's a lot of skipping around to the past, present, Kitty's side of the story and Lance's side. So just bear with me. Oh yes, please forgive me if you see any mis-spelled words or grammar. Grammar is not one of my strongest points.

The present
He sighed. Starting a new life was difficult to forget the past. He thought as he walked down the streets of North Carolina. The summer breeze blew through his mushroom haircut. He brushed his mahogany bangs out of his face. He was dressed in a suite and tie. He had to cut his hair so they wouldn't recognize him if they were looking for him. He moved to so many different cities and states so he wouldn't be found. Its been 2 years seen he left The Brotherhood. He remembered why he left The Brotherhood. Kitty Pryde had told him off. He never had seen her so mad in his life. Telling him to go to hell…

Flashbacks-A young man watched in the shadows as he saw her. Kitty Pryde how angelic she looked she had on a pair of black sandals and a pink tank top with blue jeans capris. He sighed. But she never noticed him, as he wanted her to see him. She just saw him as an annoying and arrogant young man craving for attention. He watched her silently. In his eyes he saw her as an angel. She was angel that was sent from the heavens as a gift to him. He heard her beautiful laughter while she walked pass him with her X-Geeks. Her laughter was music to his ears. Her laughter was melodic like she was singing a song just for him. He was so drawn into her. He didn't know what was this feeling he was feeling. His teammates would tease him and said it was love. Haha love? He didn't know what was love. But his feelings towards Kitty are so strong. Like he needed to be around her all the time to protect her. She was like the air he breathes. Was this love?
"Yo-Lance...are-you-just-going-to-stare-at-kitty-kat-all-day-or-go-to-class?" A young boy came up behind him. Lance turn around and glare at him.
"Shut up Pietro!" Lance growled at him. The young boy threw up his hands in defeat.
"Man, I-was-just-asking-a-question." Pietro said quickly.
"Whatever man! Let's go to class." Lance said as he started to walk towards his school. And Pietro closely walking behind him.

He walked into a building. Walked pass some people and entered an elevator.
"You're late again Mr. Alver!" shouted a male voice. Lance cringed at the voice. He sat at his desk.
"I'm sorry Mr. Smith." He apologized. "It won't happen again." His boss gave him a stern look.
"It better not Mister Alver." Mr. Smith told him. Lance nonchalantly nodded his head as his boss walk away.
"Pew…" he sighed. Another hard day at the office he worked as a supervisor's assistant. He rather wanted to use his power to corrupt stuff up for fun. But ever since Kitty and him got into that argument nothing came good from it. Kitty and him broke-up. It made him grow-up and understand that he couldn't have everything easy like he wanted. As he typed on the computer he slowly dazed off…
-Another Flashbacks-
At a Halloween party 2 years ago…
Everyone was dressed in costumes. Laughter filled the mid-night sky. He watched her carefully. She was dressed as a fairy. How beautiful she looked in her costume. White and pink fit perfectly for her. Her wings were white as snow covered with pink glitters. Her dress reached almost to her knees. It fitted her petite body perfectly showing her womanly curves. And wearing pink boots to finish her costume. Her hair was neatly tie up in a bun. She was lovely that night. A young man was standing next to her. She laughed at the young man. He was dressed as a pirate. Lance growled in envy. Wishing that was he instead of Kurt.
But he waited his turn would come soon to spend time with his lovely Kitty. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, a black cape with a black top hat and a white mask. He leaned against the balcony's railing. As he saw his Kitty walked out of those French doors. The moon light shined on her making her more beautiful. She had a smile on her face. She spoke first.
"Hello, like, what are you doing here all by yourself? Don't you, like, wanna joined the rest of us and have fun?" she asked as leaned against the railing herself looking up into the sky.
"I just wanted to look at the stars for a while." Lance replied coolly.
"Oh, I see. I know, like, isn't it pretty tonight." She sighed happily.
"Yes, it is, but not as beautiful as you." Lance commented but then quickly blushed. She turned to him and smiled.
"Thank you!" she said.
"Why aren't you inside?" he asked her.
"I just, like, wanted to get some fresh air." She replied. A slow song started to play. Lance took the opportunity and held his hand out. Kitty looked at the mystery guy she was talking too. She was attracted to him.
"May I have this dance?" he asked politely. Lance, play it cool. Don't mess this up for yourself. I hope she doesn't recognize me. He said to himself.
"Yes, you may…" she said taking his hand. Her hand fit perfectly with his hand. He slowly wrapped his other arm around her small waist. They slowly began to dance to the song. And then she put her head on his shoulder. She felt so safe and warm in his arms. But why does this young man look so familiar to me? Kitty thought to herself.
"Can I keep you?" he whispered into her ear. She quickly looked up into his dark brown eyes. And he looked into her hazel eyes. She was about to say something, but he stopping her by kissing her. His lips were soft as a rose petal. She closed her eyes enjoying her real first kiss. He smell like fresh autumn leaves falling out of a tree. Her heart was beating so fast she couldn't breathe. She never felt like this. She was in total bliss.
"Kitty…" A voice interrupted her. Kitty opened her eyes and saw Kurt in front of her. She ran to the balcony railing. Kurt looked at his friend with bewilderment. And she found two roses. One white and one pink she slowly picked it up and brought to her nose. It smelled like him. "Kitty?" he repeated himself again.
"Yes, Kurt?" she asked.
"Who was that you were dancing with?" He asked.
"I don't know…" she sighed. Kurt scratches the back of his head in disbelief.
"Kurt! Kitty where are you guys?" A female voice called to them.
"Here!" Kurt shouted as a beautiful red head came through the French doors. She was dressed as a princess. She looked so lovely. Long red locks and eyes that shined like emeralds. She looked at Kurt then Kitty.
"Kitty, who gave you those…there beautiful." Jean asked her while pointing at the roses in her hand. Kitty snapped back into to reality. She smiled at Jean.
"Like, a mystery guy…" she sighed.
"Oh" Jean said, "I see…" Kitty sniffed the roses again. Who was that guy that Kitty was dancing with? Kurt thought curiously.
"Hey let's get back inside now. It's kinda getting cold out here now." Kurt suggested and walked toward the French doors.
"Oh, your right Kurt." Jean said. "Let's go Kitty." She grabbed Kitty's arm and dragged her back inside. As they when inside Lance was hanging on the ledge of the balcony. That was close. He thought. He pulled himself up from the ledge and jump over the balcony rail.
"Whoa! That was close…" Lance gasped. I thought I was going to get caught.

Kitty sighed sadly. She sat quietly in her science class thinking about him. How I miss him. Why can't I remember? Why he left in the first place? She blows her chestnut brown bangs out her face and sigh once again. She was a senior now and no Lance to annoy her. Lance Alver I miss you. School was so distinct without him around. Like the excitement was gone. Sure they still had Todd, Pietro and Fred annoying them. But it wasn't the same anymore. He left two years ago to get away from you Kitty, like, you wished. He's never coming back. He's never coming back to you.
-Flashback-
"Lance…I'm going to be in so much trouble…" Kitty whispered.
"Kitty, don't worry." Lance said to her.
"Like, I can't help it…I don't wanna get caught…" she said.
"With me…" Lance said with a little anger.
"No…Lance it's not like that." She told him.
"Then what is it?" he asked her.
"Xavier…" she sniffled.
"What's that man going do to me? He can't stop me from seeing you. I love you Kitty! And nothing can stop me from seeing you." He claimed. Kitty looked into Lance deep dark brown eyes.
"I love you too…but…" she started. Putting one hand on his cheek. "If anything happens…I will never forgive myself."
"Kitty nothing will happen to us. We will be together forever. Just you and me." He told her.
-End of Flashback-
She never expected to fall in love Lance Alver. They were so different from each other. Sure they had their misunderstanding like he annoyed her a lot and wouldn't leave her alone. Like causing trouble in school. Trying to impress her with his jerky charms. And some where she was falling in love with him too. Opposites attract. Ever since that Halloween party two years ago. When he asked her. "Can I keep you?"
"Kitty, You there?" someone interrupted her train of thoughts.
"Huh?" she replied looking out of the window and gazing at the blue sky.
"Kitty, class is over." It told her.
"What?" Kitty said now looking at her friend Kurt Wagner. "I miss him…" she said absentmindedly.
"You didn't listen to anything that was going on in the class, did you?" he questioned.
"The class had a discussion?" she said to herself.
"Kitty, are you feeling ok? And who do you miss?" he asked.
"Oh…no one Kurt." She replied. "And I'm, like, fine Kurt don't get all worried about it." She got up from her desk. "Kurt, I like, think I should go home. I don't feel, like, staying in school."
"I'll go with you." He told her.
"No, no, Kurt. It's ok. Like I want to be myself for a while." She explained.
***
She opened the door to the manor and quietly walked in. She didn't know her roommate was sitting on the couch reading a magazine.
"Kitty, what are you doing home? Aren't you suppose to be in school?" She called to her. Kitty jumped and turned around to face her friend.
"Hi Rogue…" she smiled.
"As I was asking earlier…why aren't you in school?" Rogue asked again putting down her the magazine.
"The truth Rogue?" Kitty said. Rogue nodded her head. "Well, like, I been out of it today. Not paying attention to my studies." She sat next to Rogue. "Have you ever felt like your missing something in your life?"
"I don't know where you going with this suga'." Rogue said.
"Like love?" Kitty said. Rogue face expression drew a blank. "Oh, Rogue I'm so sorry." Kitty started to apologize.
"No, it's ok." Rogue said sadly. "I wish I could love some one. But you know if I touch some one…" Kitty and Rogue friendship grew over the years. They understood each other so well. They could tell if the other one wasn't happy or sad. They trusted each other like sisters. "Like what happen to Bobby." Rogue sigh sadly. She remembered what happen. It was last year when she was a senior. It was valentines and Bobby gave her a bouquet of roses. She was so happy and kissed him on the cheek. Bobby was unconscious for 3 days. He was ok now and she and Bobby were the bests of friends.
" Let's forgot I ever brought it up." Kitty told Rogue.
"Don't worry about it Kitty.
