" " = Talking
# # = Thinking
* * = Sound or a Special/Notable Action
Last Time: Lance, predictably asked a pun-intended question "So...I rocked your world last night, Mystique?" She grinned a naughty grin at the barely legal youth.
They never made it to breakfast.
LATER, AT SCHOOL
Todd was still in shock "Man oh, man! Kitty is gonna FLIP over dis, yo! " Fred was drowning the wicked memory in food. Wanda was still thinking about Lance's hot young physique. Pietro groused "I can't believe we waited all that time for them! At least we got Lance's ride." Todd slyly answered "Lance has a new 'ride', though, don't he?" Todd and Pietro laughed and laughed! Now was the wrong time for Kitty to show up, so, of course that's when a ticked off Kitty Pryde shows up. "Like, OK. I haven't seen Lance all day! " Todd said "Neither have we, but Mystique saw him all last night!" Pietro, and Todd broke down in laughter! Wanda looked ticked off, and Fred was clearly embarrassed, and trying real hard to ignore the situation entirely.
"Like, what the heck are you talking about? Where is Lance?" Wanda said to Kitty "I think you'd better sit down. Here, sit here beside me. I'll tell you everything I know." Wanda did.
ACROSS THE LUNCH ROOM, AT THE X-MEN'S TABLE
A different train-wreck was in progress.
"Kurt, the Security System registered your Teleportation, twenty minutes before the Seftons reported the break in. Then again, twenty minutes afterwards! Then Wolverine found the stolen undergarments under your pillow! I know the Professor cleared you, by granting your request to be mind scanned. Still, the Seftons do NOT accept that sort of 'evidence'. You are in it so deep, Kurt. You know it had to be Mystique. I know it had to be Mystique. But the Seftons will NOT believe it. I'm sorry, Kurt, but you are going to have to abide Amanda's wishes, and have no further contact for a while. At least she said it would only be for two weeks." Ray Crisp, AKA: Berserker, was trying to keep Kurt from losing it.
Kurt was about to reply when EVERYONE heard Kitty shriek "WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY LANCE IS SLEEPING WITH MYSTIQUE?!" A moment of total silence. Then, the Gossip Mill just went Nuclear. Poor Kurt just had Kitty accidentally drop another bomb on him.
"Acht! I can't believe vhat I'm hearing! Mystique, my Mutter, is sleeping vith Avalanche? I'm going to be sick…" Ray helped Kurt to the boys room just in time. Of course Ray was not helping much when he mentioned "Maybe you don't have to call him 'Daddy', if you don't want too." *BARF* *groan*
AFTER SCHOOL
Back at the Xavier Institute.
Kurt was miserable. His girlfriend's parents were convinced that he is panty-raiding pervert, that had targeted Amanda's MOTHER! #Zat iz gross! She iz a Mutter! Now I am alone! I vish Kitty vasn't zo angry. Zen ve could comfort each ozzer. Vait! Ve can! Perhaps zat iz vhat ve need to do!# Kurt went looking for Kitty. He found her. Kitty, Amara, Tabitha and Rogue were watching a comedian on Cable. The comedy was almost ALL male-bashing! #Maybe later.# Kurt thought as he quietly escaped.
Kitty finished watching the comedy, and while her anger towards men was mostly worked through, her sorrow of loss was still raw. #I wonder what Kurt think of this? Does he, like, even have a clue that his own mom is getting nasty with my Lance? How does Kurt, like, feel about this? What does he know about this?# Needing to find out these answers and maybe a sympathetic ear, Kitty began looking for the blue, and fuzzy Kurt. After looking in the usual places, Kitty saw Kurt coming out of Professor Xavier's Private Study. She could not make out the words, but Kitty could recognize the Professor's voice as he said something to Kurt as he walked out of the Study. "Ja, Professor. I vill." Kurt answered the Professor. Kitty waved to Kurt "Kurt? Like, can we talk? Please? I am so totally in need of a friend's ear right now. Please?" Kurt nodded to Kitty "Ja. I vill, Kitty. Please just give me five minutes. I need to use ze boys room. OK?" Kitty understood, and said "Sure. I'll, like, totally wait for you at the gazebo. OK?" Kurt agreed "Ja." then *Bamf* teleported away. Five long minutes later *Bamf* The blue furred Nightcrawler teleported into the gazebo. "OK, Kitty. I am here." Kitty was overwhelmed with hurt, fear, loneliness and just needed a hug, darn it!
AT THE GAZEBO, SUNDOWN
Kitty looked at her friend of the last few years "Kurt? I-I need a h-h-huggggg…..*sob*!" Kurt was moved with concern for his friend. Kurt hugged Kitty for what seemed forever and yet only a moment. Neither X-Man noticed that Kurt's tail had wrapped around Kitty's waist. As Kitty's tears soaked into Kurt's shirt, Kurt began to feel a fierce need to protect Kitty, as never before. Holding Kitty close, Kurt comforted his very good friend as best as he could. His three fingered hands gently caressed her back. His tail, wrapped around Kitty's waist softly caressed her bare midriff. Neither Kurt nor Kitty were even consciously aware of just what they were doing. One moment Kurt is just holding Kitty, comforting her. Kitty is just crying, needing comfort, The next moment, The Kiss. Kissing each other with a longing that had been denied, suppressed, ignored for so long. As the teenagers kissed, they were unaware of the cat that had just come into the clearing. As the cat watched, the two young people kissed with a need, a hunger that could not be ignored anymore. The cat silently padded back where it came from.
Kitty broke the kiss first, and Kurt just looked at her, stunned. For several seconds neither one moved. Neither one spoke. They just held onto one another. Their heavy breathing was all they could hear. The heat from each other's embrace was all they could feel. No wind could they hear. No evening chill could they feel. Only each other. For a time, there was only the other for each. Only Kitty, and her girlish scent existed for Kurt. Only Kurt and his soft, furry warmth existed for Kitty. It was perfection.
Holding on to one another Kurt and Kitty looked at one another in surprise. Both blushing, yet neither one letting go. "Kitty…" "Kurt…" they breathed at the same time. Smiling, with some embarrassment, the two held onto one another. "Kitty, I don't vant to take advantage of you. You are my best friend!" Kitty smiled and agreed "I know Kurt, just like you're my best friend." "Kitty, I-I just don't know vaht happened, I-we just...zis is confusing…I hope you hate for zis..." Kitty gently took Kurts face in both of her petite hands "Kurt Wagner, I don't know where you get these ideas that people have to hate you. Especially the girl that just kissed you." Kurt was filled will the conflict of needing Kitty's love, and the fear of abandoning Amanda. Kurt and Kitty spoke at the same time "I don't want to lose you!" Each of them *gasped*! "Kurt! Do you , like, really, totally mean it?" "Ja, my Katzchen! Do you mean it, Kitty?" Kitty answered the only way her heart would allow. Kitty leaned in, looked Kurt in the eyes and *KISSED* him. A deep, passionate kiss born of loneliness, hurt, need, love and desire! Kurt *KISSED* her right back! Entwined as one, the young pair lost themselves in their hungry love for one another. Kissing and holding each other, Ten minutes became thirty minutes. That became an hour. As the moon arose over the water, it framed the teens as they embraced as lovers for the first time. "Kitty, I shall be true too you.I vould never leave you! You, you, only EVER you, my Katzchen!" "Oh, Kurt! I could, like, never make it alone! Just love me, please?" Kurt answered her by teleporting her to his room. "Kitty? I loff you, and vant to have you forever. Vill you haff me. Katzchen?" Kitty, was beyond words. In her need for love. A lover she knew that she could trust. Her response was elegantly simple. Kitty Pryde nodded, stepped back and unbuttoned her blouse…
Ororo knew what was likely happening, as she had seen Kurt and Kitty silhouetted by the rising moon. Her decision made, Storm went to Wolverine. #A few flirtatious acts and some alcohol will more than distract Logan from noticing Kurt and Kitty's get together.# Making her way through the Mansion, Ororo found Logan beginning an impromptu bed check. "Logan?" Wolverine turned to see the beautiful weather witch standing there, holding a bottle of JD whiskey. "Would you help me? I need an adult to talk to, please?" Taken by surprise, the feral mutant gruffly nodded, then, less gruffly asked "Where?" Ororo *smiled* "Your room of mine, Logan? I don't just want what I have to say to get out to anyone else." Logan said "You choose, 'Ro." Ororo Munroe, Weather Controller, Senior X-Man, and lonely woman, led Logan to her room...
