My mind has been floating around with the idea of placing Nightcrawler with a character I have from roleplay. After talking to my girlfriend, she said she thought it was a good idea; she could see it. Hopefully my format won't be jacked up my the website today. Hopefully... The X-men belongs to Marvel Comics. That's all I'mma say on ownership. BUT LANCE IS MINE. ... Oops. That was a total spoilerwhore moment. Sorry guys.

All you yaoi / shonen-ai / gay boy fans can scream in ecstasy now. Kurt's gonna be in love with a guy. I guess I'm just another yaoi freak.

BOY X BOY FTW.

Oh, and Angelus Noctis is Latin. Night Angel. It works for both Kurt and Kurt's future friend.

... Anyways. Enjoy the story.


A yawn. Books, math equations, writing… none of these things caught the interest of one Kurt Wagner. His notebook, which had been opened with the best of intentions was now filled with unskilled scribbles of a bored teenager. It was only second block, but Kurt was ready to go home, or at least away from school. Maybe one of Bayville High's students could tell him some good places to skip to. Kurt wondered if there were any video game arcades around. He thought to himself.

I'd rather be playing Super Monkey Ball.

Jean sat in the classroom across the hallway from Kurt's trigonometry classroom. While understanding the inner workings of Shakespeare was not high on her priority list, she couldn't let Kurt so easily escape the tortures of mathematics. She remembered that class from her younger years. She shot him back a message with her powers as a telepath.

You can play later. Logarithms now.

The German sighed aloud. Math was just so… not fun. Period. He wished he could block Jean from his mind, but he didn't have the mental willpower. Both Jean and Professor Xavier had told him his mind was an open book. Even if they weren't telepaths, his thoughts were still easy to understand. Maybe one day he could fight them off. His mind wasn't strong enough now, though. For now, he was stuck knowing that everyone he knew was privy to all his information. Kurt fumbled for his pencil and then drew a tic-tac-toe game upon his paper. Though, it was no fun to play by himself. He didn't bother attempting to understand this loga-what's-it. Instead, he doodled until the end of class. Kurt found it a much better use of his time. When the block finally ended, he was quick to get out and went to the cafeteria. He was supposed to head to science, but it was easier to hide in the crowd. Kurt skipped past the lunch lines and went straight to the snack line. It was always what most students favored, because that's where the best food was. He bought some chips, cookies and soda, then jumped to nag Evan and Kitty, since they had this lunch. They already knew Kurt was skipping, but they didn't care, and nor would they tattle… for a price, of course. Evan ate some of Kurt's chips, while Kitty stole some chocolate. Kurt whined, but only jokingly. This was their routine for the third block lunch.

Kitty leaned back upon the shoulder of her newest boyfriend, and spoke to the disguised blue fuzz ball.

"Skipping Leaf's class again?"

Kurt was sucking back sugary soda, and enjoyed the rush of caffeine. He nodded at Kitty's question, then smacked the already half empty can back on the table, feeling refreshed.

"And thinking about skipping the rest of the day."

"Yeah?" Evan nudged him. "Do you feel like heading to the skate park with me then?"

Kurt had tried to skateboard with him before, but that stuff was hard. He didn't have enough balance to stay on the board for more than a few seconds before he hit the pavement. And with the skate park that Evan went to, they would laugh at him. Those guys were really into the skateboarding thing. While he didn't blame them, because it was fun, he'd prefer to not be mocked today. Kurt got enough of that at school. Being one of the school's top pranksters hadn't left people with much respect for him.

"Nah man. Not today. Tomorrow, ja?" He promised Evan that he would skip again tomorrow to hang out there with him, then asked if they knew anywhere good to skip. Kitty's catch then spoke up, telling Kurt that there was an arcade nearby, and that they had just gotten one of those DDR machines there. Apparently there were a couple kids there who were practically destroying everyone on the machine.

And naturally, Kurt had to go see. Mostly to check out their new machine. Geeky DDR kids didn't pique his interest, but video games did. After consuming all of his goodies, he went to the bathroom, checking the stalls for anyone else in the room. He had to wait a few minutes for it to clear out. As soon as it was clear, Kurt was off in a puff of smoke, leaving a faint scent of brimstone.
