Chapter 10: The Dark Knight & the Goth Princess – The Toad & the Blue Elf
Green and blue make a lovely color combination – but not when that green is slimy, icky, and toad-dish…
"Well, everyone is busy doing something. So I'm kind of bored."
"So you decide to be busy by hanging out with me?"
Kurt stared in disbelief at the toad boy. It was just after his last class and Kurt had just been about to quench his thirst when Todd of all people, approached him. He had actually been waiting to go home with Scott and Jean who were still having extra classes. Evan was busy with a group project, whereas Kitty and Rogue were having their usual rehearsals for the play.
"Yeah, yo. I mean, Fred's always busy being hungry, Lance is busy with the play, and Pietro's always busy now going out of his way to bug Rogue, and - "
"Yeah, now that you mention it – what is up with that? I thought his favorite person to bug was Evan." Or me, or Scott…
"Well, he says he's taken a personal interest in doing so – annoying the heck out of her. But personally," he lowered his voice in case anyone overhead. "I think he has a crush on her."
Kurt choked on his drink. He managed to sputter out the words that didn't seem to make sense together, "Pietro? Crush? Rogue?"
Todd shrugged, distracted by a buzzing fly. "Yeah…"
"You're talking crazy. The only crush that's gonna happen is what Rogue would do to Pietro." Kurt shook his head, musing slightly at the thought.
"Well – crazier – things – have – happened." Todd said; a jump at each word as he tried to catch the fly with his mutant toad tongue.
"Yeah, like me actually having this conversation with you," Kurt sighed, and gagged as he watched Todd's successful catch. That could be counted as one of the very reasons they didn't really hangout much in the first place.
But as Todd continued snacking on the poor fly, Kurt couldn't help but wonder what other going-ons he'd been missing out on…
A/N:
I couldn't help but add in this little scene. After all, these two had their first fight against each other when they both first appeared in the XME series. Anyway, Todd's just lonely now and Kurt's available…
Hehe ^_~ The day of the play is finally arriving…
Reviews are wonderfully appreciated ^_~
