Okay, so in let a few of my friends read the first chapter and they asked me to continue it. And it's 2am and I have nothing better to do. So here goes nothing! READ AND REVIEW! If you give me good reviews I'll keep writing :D xx
UPDATE 2015 – I've decided to change this slightly, Hope you like it!
It had been a week since the battle. The area where the fighting had commenced now looked like a waste ground. The Brotherhood was dead, Magneto had been cured and because of this, everyone who was on his side had vanished simply because they found themselves vulnerable without Magneto beside them. All except one. John Allerdyce was never one for running away, everyone knew that, which was exactly why the fact he had left without anyone knowing his whereabouts had worried Kitty. She had thought that if the Brotherhood had been destroyed he would have come back to the institute, but evidently that was just wishful thinking.
In a pair of ripped jeans and an oversized hoodie she stepped carefully over the rubble where the Jugganaut had crashed into the building in an attempt to kill Jimmy, the exact reason why this battle happened, The exact reason why she was questioning her feelings, The reason she was here. Her hazel eyes averted to the wall where her and John had stood. She closed her eyes and played the event in her mind once again.
"Kitty"
His voice was so clear in her mind that for a few short seconds, she actually believed that he was with her, the way his hand had brushed across her cheek had been so subtle yet so emotionally painful that she could feel her eyes glaze over at the thought of what them two could have been if he had stayed at the institute. Of course she had feelings for John, he was attractive, and when he wasn't being a jerk one of the most caring, considerate people she had ever met...When he wasn't being a jerk. But she couldn't think like that any longer, It couldn't happen. Even if they tried John wouldn't be allowed back into the institute, and even if they did, no one would exactly be happy about it, would they?
Turning on her heel Kitty made her way towards the room where she had found Jimmy, thanks to the Juggernaut there was a massive hole in the wall she closed her eyes again.
"I'm the wrong guy to play hide and seek with"
"Who's hiding. Dick head"
Kitty shuddered at her words, she wasn't use to swearing, and playing that again in her mind she remembered how she sounded when she referred to him as a dick head. It reminded her of when she was younger and her parents would buy her a helium balloon, she wasn't a big fan on balloons but she liked to suck out the helium so her voice would go high and squeaky. She sounded just like that. Thinking about this in her head she couldn't help but allow a small smile to flicker onto her lips. She had been scared. She didn't even know if the plan that she had formed in her mind a mere two seconds before the Juggernaut entered was going to work, which was why when it did the look of surprise was washed all over her features.
Once she was full inside the room, it's walls so bright it hurt her eyes to look at them for more than five seconds. She moved herself over to the corner of the room, the same corner where she had found Jimmy. Pressing her back against the wall she slowly slid down so she was sitting, resting her head on her knee's and wrapping her arms around her legs. It was late at night, she had told Logan she needed to get some air. Bobby and Rogue were back together so she had used that as a perfect excuse to be upset. Of course that wasn't the reason she was upset. It wasn't the reason she was here.
Resting her head against the wall she closed her eyes and imagined what her life would be like in a perfect world. There would be no conflict between humans and mutants because humans would not be afraid of their power, they would not be afraid because all mutants would be good. John wouldn't be such a jerk. He would be a perfect gentleman, who after a few months of knowing Kitty would have nervously asked her out on a date. She would have said yes of course, and after a few weeks of dating, they would share their first real kiss. It would be flawless; they would then start to act like a proper couple, and not be ashamed to show how much they cared about each other in public. On the day of the year anniversary; John would cook for her. They would have a romantic meal together and that would be the first time they utter the words they had wanted to say to each other since the first time they went out together. 'I love you.'
"There's no point in dreaming" A voice interrupted, her eyes shot wide open and looked up at the figure in front of her "Our worlds gone to shit. You'll never get it" John then added, moving a few steps closer to her. Kitty scrambled to her feet, her eyes never leaving his, his clothes were ripped which proved he'd been running. His face was covered in blood, which meant one of two things. Either he had been fighting and that blood was someone else's, or he had been attacked and that blood was his. There were no cuts visible to her that suggested he had been attacked
"...W...What are you doing here?" Kitty whispered, her eyes briefly scanning his own to see if there was any story in them. But as always John was a closed book. Thinking over the statement he had just made she bit her lip "You have to have hope John, even when the worlds gone to...shit" She whispered.
John chuckled quietly to himself before smirking "Don't swear Kitty, It doesn't suit you" He stated, the tone in his voice was something Kitty had never heard before, It was kind, caring almost. She wasn't to sure if it was a good idea to trust him. This was all so new to her.
"Don't avoid my question John." Kitty stated, gaining a small amount of confidence in her voice "What are you doing here?" She asked, by the end of that sentence her voice had dropped down to the whisper is had been before. Clearly the confidence that she had gained was only planning on staying for a few seconds.
John looked at her, flinching lightly whenever she called him by his real name. She was the only one that did. "Same reason you are." He stated quietly "I'm looking for a purpose, a reason why all of this happened"
Kitty looked at him, half amazed that he knew what she was thinking, half expecting him to snap at any moment "...How did you know.."
"Well you're not here to admire the scenery are you?" John stated, Kitty smiled "Am I correct Kitty? Is that why you're here? Are you looking for a reason why it happened?" He asked, his eyes locking with hers, and that was the point where she knew exactly what he was talking about.
"I..." Kitty started before sighing and closing her eyes, Biting hard on her lip before nodding "Yeah" she stated quietly, John took this moment to move closer to her, her back was already against the wall, he looked at her for a few seconds, before leaning down to kiss her, as he did she moved her head away and he lifted her chin up to look at him "If you wanted to go you would have phased through that wall already" he whispered, kissing the corner of her mouth, "don't be scared. I wont hurt you" he murmured closing his eyes as he grazed his lips across to lock with hers.
It took Kitty only a few short seconds to react from the kiss, her arms snaked around his neck; which he took as his cue to carry on. His arms wrapped around her small waist, pulling her to him. His tongue very cautiously grazed along her bottom lip, as if he was scared she was going to pull away if he moved too quickly, her mouth opened as she felt his tongue, her tongue met his as it entered, and gently moved against it. As if it triggered something inside of him, John pushed himself against her, her back hitting the wall once again, She felt his member against her and pulled away, looking down at the floor for a few seconds before looking back up at him.
"Sorry.." John mumbled, moving away from her and rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"John," She smiled moving over to him, her fingers looping around his belt holes on his jeans and pulling him forward "I want to.. Just...Not here" She whispered and John relaxed a little, gently resting his forehead against hers. Kitty smiled slightly reaching up and planting a gentle kiss against his lips. "Can we go back to your apartment?" She asked.
"I haven't been to my apartment" He muttered, "I was wor...expecting that if the humans were after me it would be the first place they would look. I've been living in a cabin a short way from here. Come on" He stated, offering her his hand. Kitty smiled and took it, even though she had told herself countless times that this was wrong. Right then, there was something so right about it, and all the concerns she had thought about before had completely left her mind. All that mattered was him and what might happened between them in the next few hours.
John smirked lightly as he led her out of the broken and abandoned building; he had wanted nothing more than to have that taste in his mouth again. He had thinking about it ever since it happened, it wasn't a want any more, it was a need. He needed nothing more than her, and once he had her, his bit of perfection. He would be able to carry on as normal.
