It was a little after three in the morning when Kurt found himself in the mess hall wide awake except he was far from hungry for once. As he sat at the table thinking over what was going to happen in just under six hours he subconsciously rubbed his left wrist where until yesterday afternoon his image inducer had allowed him to blend in with everybody else allowing him to experience what he could have had if it were not for his appearance.
It had all started when Kurt had somehow managed to get separated from the rest of his friends and teammates as they got to school in the morning yet he did not try and attempt to get back with them due to what had happened to him in Germany which was why he was invited to America by the Professor.
After that he became paranoid that his watch would suddenly deactivate or that he would come face to face with one of his friends. He was so jumpy that when a student asked him if he was okay he nearly jumped a mile upwards. After managing to get himself out of that situation he found himself in another except this one was with Kitty Pryde his fellow housemate, teammate, best friend and secret crush since they first met. It went from bad to worse as not only was she angry at him she had somehow managed to get him angry with her leaving him feeling lower than dirt and, unknown to him, Kitty feeling lost and alone.
The rest of the day passed by quickly and quietly with Kurt being able to hide himself from his friends and low profile enough so that he did not draw any attention from others. It did not last however as he had been fortunate enough to be passing the corridor where the three jocks from last night were holding Kitty and were about to steal her virginity. It was at that moment that Kurt had an epiphany; normalcy he could never have but Kitty he could never replace.
The confrontation took barely a minute yet during it three things happened. He had revealed himself to the whole world, he could no longer hide under a hologram and Kitty had more than forgiven him judging by the way she threw herself at him whilst crying her eyes out. It turned out to be better than he hoped when not only did Kitty say that she would be there for him where ever they were but she had kissed him both on the cheek then square on the lips. If that was not a declaration of love then he did not know what was.
"I vonder how many students vill be bringing blazing torches und pitchforks today?" Kurt thought out loud chuckling at his attempt in humour.
"Kurt?" An all too familiar voice asked from behind him looking round he saw Kitty walking towards him obviously here for a midnight snack. "What are you doing up at this hour?"
"Two guesses" Kurt replied as he pulled out the seat next to him only to be shocked as Kitty decided to forgo the chair and instead made herself comfortable on his lap.
"You're hungry or you just had a rather erotic dream about me and can't get back to sleep" Kitty said before giggling at Kurt's face as it went from dark blue to deep purple in less than a second.
It took a few moments for Kurt to compose himself after his love's guesses and he was definitely going to be experiencing the latter now that she said it although he would gladly welcome that over nightmares of his past any day.
"Vhilst I vish it vas eizer of your attempts, und I'm sure your hoping its ze latter as vell" He added causing the girl in his arms to blush as he guessed right. "I can't sleep due to vhat's going to happen at school today"
Kitty could not think of a reply to what Kurt had just said. Instead she wrapped her arms around his neck holding him close whilst enjoying the softness of his fur against her skin allowing her to come up with a way to distract him from the issue at hand.
"I can't wait until we have our own rooms again" She whispered as she buried her head into the side of his neck.
"Bed uncomfortable?" Kurt asked as he wrapped his own arms more securely round Kitty's waist enjoying the closeness between them.
Kitty giggled quietly before raising her head from its resting place and kissed Kurt on the cheek before making eye contact with him. "Well there is that but it's more so that I can sneak in to your room and use you as a replacement for Lockheed"
Lockheed, a small stuffed dragon that Kurt had given her not long after the fiasco in Mississippi as a sign of forgiveness over what had happened, had been burnt to ashes when the mansion was destroyed. Although Kitty had been sad about losing it she knew that she would have to grow up eventually. It was that or find something, or someone, better to comfort her during the night.
"I hope zat's not all you vant from me my lieb" Kurt said before kissing her softly on the lips.
"Why Fuzzy Elf" Kitty mock exclaimed as she phased one of her legs through her new boyfriend so that she was now straddling him. "Whatever could you be implying?"
She then quickly recaptured his lips no longer wanting to talk for the moment. Kurt silently agreed as he kissed her back with as much passion whilst his tail slowly snaked under her top and wrap itself around her waist causing Kitty to moan into his mouth. After several minutes the two of them parted reluctantly before they gave in to their emotions but did not separate themselves from the others grasp just yet.
"Danke for ze distraction Kitty" Kurt whispered as he placed his forehead against hers.
"Danke for the affection Fuzzy Elf" Kitty giggled before kissing him again and pulling herself from his arms and tail as she stood up.
Kurt waited until Kitty moved away slightly before standing up himself and stretching feeling stiff after being sitting on the chair since before Kitty entered the scene. Kitty took the chance to wrap her arms around his waist again something that did not seem to bother Kurt as he dropped his arms and let them rest loosely round her waist as he looked into her eyes.
"Having those kinds of thoughts again Fuzzy?" Kitty teased.
"How can I not vhen zere is an angel in my arms?" Kurt countered before leaning in and kissing her softly whilst tightening his hold on her.
Kitty just remained silent, both before and after the kiss. She could not believe that she had not tried to get together with him sooner, preferably before she tried to go out with Lance, if this was how he treated his girlfriend. No wonder Amanda was so clingy whenever she saw them between classes or at lunch. She gave Kurt one final squeeze before gently pulling herself from his grasp.
"We better get to bed" she whispered. Kurt nodded and quickly kissed her on the cheek before heading off towards his quarters.
"Guten nacht mien lieb" He whispered to her before disappearing from sight.
"You too Fuzzy" Kitty whispered back as she made her way to her own quarters eager to get to dreamland where she knew she would be enjoying herself immensely.

Any and all happy thoughts Kurt had had during and after his late night meeting with Kitty had quickly vanished as he waited nervously in the back seat of Scott's convertible with the rest of the team as they made their way to school several hours later. As they got closer to their destination Kitty was wondering if any of Kurt's fur had gone from blue to gray as the elf in question got more and more stressed.
"Try and calm down Kurt" She said gently as she clasped one of his hands in her own. "Otherwise Jean's going to get a headache before Duncan tries to woo her again"
That seemed to do the trick as Kurt managed to relax some before his trademark prankster grin suddenly appeared on his face.
"At least his mind is not just on her body now unlike most men" He joked. "Right, Scott?"
Scott, instead of blushing at what was being implied, smirked. "You've already got Kitty and now you're trying to get Jean as well now? Who's next Amara? Tabitha?"
The whole team, including Kurt, present laughed at their leaders joke. It seemed now that Kurt had shown himself and proved that he was standing with them whatever thrown at them would be rain off a windscreen.
"At least I know someone who will treat me like a lady if somebody's thoughts are anything to go by" Jean said causing Kitty to blush at what she meant.
"Must be whah girls dig him so much" Rogue joined in.
"Dude's a babe magnet" Evan piped in. "Is it natural or just static magnetism K-man?"
"If I survive today my friend I'll gladly give you tips on how to get your own liebchen" Kurt replied before losing some of his cheerfulness as he remembered his current dilemma.
Kitty, seeing that he was losing his bright persona, quickly kissed him on the cheek as she leaned against him. "Just pretend that it's your first day of school"
"And if they try intimidating or bullying you" Scott continued from the driver's seat. "Just give them a taste of your... mischievous personality"
Kurt's prankster grin reappeared as he wrapped an arm around Kitty's shoulders. Today was going to be very eventful.
