Todd lay in his bed the next morning with his eyes tightly closed. He had a bad headache. Going from the sun to the darkness of the sewers the night before and back had messed with his head. He got up slowly opening his eyes. He looked around and grabbed the closest pair of jeans and tee-shirt. He hopped to the bathroom and locked the door before he got in the shower. He washed his sandy brown hair and scrubbed himself clean. He may have been called Toad by everyone most of his life because of some of his more Amphibious like signs of mutation but Todd did not feel slimy. A fact he was glad to tell anyone who asked not that many did.

After his shower he dressed and ran his brush through his hair. He looked in the mirror and saw that he looked almost like father…He shuddered at that thought. His father and mother had only ever been Pictures and from what he had heard about his father's past he wasn't sure it was a good thing to look like him. His mother a woman who had, had darker brown hair and green eyes had been a teenager when she had him. She had given him up after that because she knew she would never be able to give him any kind of life. He sighed as he grabbed his backpack and hopped out the door and into the jeep just as Lance and Pietro came out. Freddie had quit school and would not go back.

Kurt woke up early that morning his blue hair falling in his face. He had dreamed about his crush. Nothing big as some of the other kids would have said. They had simply kissed and held hands. He found himself blushing underneath his fur and switched on his inducer after his shower and sighed he was still blushing and his inducer had picked that up so his cheeks were slightly red… He grabbed his bag and Disappeared from his room just to reappear at the bottom of the stairs a second later and get smacked lightly on the head by his sister.

He smiled at her. She was going to school today and might stay if things go alright. The rest of the gang meet out at the cars. Jean and Scott were driving the majority of the younger students to school though he and Kitty usually went together in the car her parents had gotten her. Today was no different. Well except that Rouge had been invited to ride with them and said yes. The whole way to school he listened to the two girls talk about this new guy in her life and he thought about how much he wanted to have someone special in his life too.

When they got there he was the first one out of the car and was half way up to the building when a voice caught his attention. He looked back and saw that the boys from the brother hood were standing around the girls and they were talking about something like it was the end of the world. He turned around and was about to walk in to the building when he heard a yell. He turned around to see Todd laying on the ground His eyes staring at the spike not more than a foot away from him that held a piece a cloth and note…His own eyes Widdened and he ran back toward the others. Todd got to his feet and turned toward Pietro who was staring at the note now held in his hand.

Pietro,

Do not come looking for me again Pietro, I will find you when I'm ready to talk. I will come back when I'm sure that the Morlocks My Friends are safe.

Evan

Kurt saw the whole note and smirked. Spyke was alright. He turned to leave and felt a hand reach out for his. He looked back and caught a glimpse of Todd lowering his hand again. His greenish eyes moving rapidly back and forth as not to be caught looking at any one person to long. He shot the boy a smile and then ran off hearing Rouge call his name before he ducked into the school.

At lunch time Kurt didn't feel so well and ended up in the bathroom throwing up. He blamed it on the fact that he probably should have eaten something that morning but hadn't done so. Once he had emptied his stomach, he walked outside and lay down on the grass not far from the back door to the school a place very few students and even fewer teacher went anymore. He closed his eyes and placed his arms behind his head on the tree.

"Yo."

His eyes snapped up at the single word. Todd stood not to far from where he was. His green eyes looking nervous.

"Hi."

"May I sit?" Todd asked motioning to the space next to him.

"okay."

Todd sat against the tree next to the Kurt and pulled his knees up to his chest. He looked over at the boy and saw he had again closed his eyes and was leaning back like nothing in the world could get to him here under the tree. They sat in silence for a while and then right before the bell rang Todd leaned over and placed a kiss on the other boy's lips.

Kurt opened his eyes when he felt the lips on his. He didn't pull back and instead pulled the other boy closer with a small smile on his lips. They separated and he looked in the green eyes that had been haunting his dreams lately.

"I really like you." Todd said softly resting his forehead on the blue boys.

"And I like you." Kurt said

"So are we together?" Todd asked quietly

"you know the others won't take it well.." He whispered..

"eh." Todd sighed..

"We can meet in secret right now." He said just as the bell Rang.

They promised to meet again at the park under the weeping willow tree. They both knew that none of their friends would look for them there. Kurt smiled to himself the rest of the day while Todd just stared off into space through all of his classes.. Both boys couldn't wait till later that night..

Tabitha or Boom Boom as her fellow X-men called her sat in her last class of the day waiting for the bell to ring. She had noticed that Kurt had been extremely happy since lunch which she thought was funny since the last time anyone had seen him was when he ran to the bathroom sick…She watched his eyes light up every now and then when he would look out the window. It seemed to her that he was waiting for something.

Scott and Jean had finished their last two classes early and were sitting down in his car when Kitty Pryde better known as Shadow cat came running out of the building Lance Alvers following in her wake. They both took off after them. Kitty phased through a tree just seconds before he tried to grab her and he hit it head on.

"I like told you Lance, I'm like totally over you." She threw her pony tail back and forth as she moved something that always bugged him.

"I want to try again." He said as he sat up holding his nose.

"I have a boyfriend." She stated.

"Who?" He almost yelled.

"Leave her be Alvers." Scott said as he and Jean walked up to her.

"She apparently doesn't want anything to do with you." Jean said before she pushed him out of the way and the three X-men walked back to the car.

"Thanks." She said.

The bell rang dismissing the rest of the classes and Kurt and Tabitha both left there History class. She watched him till he got down to the others and then she smiled when she noticed that he was blushing.

"You got a date or something Fuzzy?" She whispered leaning over .

He looked up sharply. "No, Just in a good mood." He said smiling and went to talk to his sister.

"Hey Kurt." Rouge said with a smile. "How was your day?"

"Aside from being sick at lunch it was good." He said "I have homework so I'll probably be going to straight to work on it after training."

"Me too." She said with a smile. "I actually missed this school."

The car ride didn't take to long and as everyone else got to talking about Evan and how they hoped he would come back soon, Kurt thought about the kiss that had taken his breath away and the boy he was supposed to meet at eleven at the park…
