Chapter 3: A New Relationship
Kurt and Ali were head-over-heels for each other, and it was obvious to everyone in the house. They had already gone on two dates, and wherever they went, they were together, and they would sneak glances at each other to check each other out when the other person wasn't looking. Ali laughed at Kurt's stupid jokes, and Kurt tickled her, and they were always finding some excuse to touch each other, but not in the sexual sense. Kurt was always flirting with Ali, and telling her she was beautiful.
Then, two weeks later, everyone was in the danger room, and Charles was trying to see if Ali had any other powers. She turned to face him up in the control room, and she said, "Well, I think I can fly." Charles looked interested and said, "Really? Well, why do you think that?" She then said, "Well, I had locked myself out of my house by accident one night when my parents weren't home, and I looked up at my balcony and wished that I could somehow be able to fly up there, and before I could even blink, I was standing on my balcony." Charles then said, "Interesting. Well, perhaps you could try that now?" Ali closed her eyes, and she concentrated on flying. Then, she suddenly felt weightless, and she opened her eyes and realized that she was level with Prof. X, and he was still in the control room!
She looked down and gasped. She was flying! Ali then looked at Prof. X, and he said, "Very good, Ali!" Then, he suggested that she try to dodge a couple of Frisbees that he was going to throw, and Ali, not understanding, said, "What?" and she turned and saw that a Frisbee was coming towards her head! She let out a little scream and put her hands up in front of her to shield herself, and she waited for the impact. When she never felt it, however, she put her hands down and gasped yet again. The Frisbee was still spinning, but it had stopped in midair just a couple of inches away from her face! Prof. X leaned forward and said, "Well, this is interesting. Ali, it seems that you also have telekinesis. I can get Jean to help you with this, seeing as how she is also telekinetic." Ali looked down and gave Jean a thumbs-up, and Charles told her that she was free to go.
Ali landed, and practically ran to her room to get ready for her date with Kurt. She chose her outfit carefully, finally picking a pale yellow polo shirt, a white jean skirt, and her white sneakers. She then put her hair in a French braid, and she touched up her look with a bit of light brown lip gloss, seeing as she didn't wear makeup a lot. There was a knock at her door after a few minutes, and she went to her door to see Kurt standing there holding an orange tiger lily and looking nervous. He looked very cute, in a forest green button down shirt, black baggy jeans and black sneakers. He looked up and said, "Wow! You look great, Ali! This is for you." He handed her the tiger lily, making her smile and say, "Oh, Kurt, you remembered! Thank you!" and she quickly filled a vase and put the tiger lily in the water.
Then, Kurt said, "Are you ready to go?" and Ali smiled and said, "Yep! Let's go!" Kurt stretched out his right hand, and Ali took it, gasping softly as he pulled her to him and held onto her waist with his left hand. The two vanished in a puff of blue smoke, and they reappeared in an alleyway. Kurt took Ali's hand and lead her out of the alley, and they made their way across the street to the movie theater. Later, the couple came out of the theater, laughing their heads off at the comedy movie they had just seen. They took a walk through the park, and the whole time, Kurt looked as if he wanted to say something, but he would always give up and look away.
Then, the time came for the date to end, so Ali wrapped her arms around Kurt's neck and he teleported them back to the door of her room. She pulled away reluctantly, and the two stood in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes. Then, Ali said softly, "I had a great time, Kurt!", and he replied, "Yeah, so did I!" Suddenly feeling bold, Kurt moved closer to Ali and said quietly, "I really like you, Ali." Ali said nervously, "I really like you too, Kurt!" She then looked up and saw Kurt was staring at her, and he got closer to her again and asked, "Ali, would it be alright if I…..if I,……….," and Ali said, "If you what?" he then said, "If I kissed you?" Ali's eyes lit up, and she bit her lip and nodded, and Kurt leaned down and lightly kissed her, and even though it was a brief kiss, it was still magical. When Kurt pulled away, Ali said, "That was nice!" Kurt nodded and said, "It was." Then, he moved closer to her even more, until she was pressed against the wall, and he put his right hand on the wall next to her shoulder, his left one on her waist, and he leaned in and kissed her again. Ali responded eagerly, bunching Kurt's shirt in her fingers and her right hand playing in his soft hair.
The two kissed for a while, and they soon needed air, so they broke apart, both panting slightly. Ali bit her lip again and said, "Wow," and Kurt grinned and said, "Maybe we could do that more often!" Ali laughed and said, "Yeah, maybe we could!" Kurt then asked her, "So, I guess this means that we're dating now, doesn't it?" and Ali looked up at him and said, "Yep. I guess it does!" Kurt linked his right hand with Ali's left, and he said quietly, "Goodnight, Ali." She smiled and said, "Goodnight, Kurt," and he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. He then walked down the hall to his room, and they both opened their doors, looked at each other one last time, Kurt winked at Ali, and they went inside their rooms to sleep.
