Missing in action
The next day Kitty came back to see Kurt at the same time she had the day before, and like the day before the door was locked. Kitty gave the same warning and phased herself through the door along with the gifts she had brought. She had brought a bag of Oreos the double stuffed ones because they were Kurt's favorite. A bag of white chocolate chunk cookies, again because they were Kurt's favorite. And a pint of Ben and Jerrys chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, it wasn't Kurt's favorite but it was the only one the store had that she knew he liked. Two spoons and two glasses of milk. She only managed to carry it all because the cookies, ice cream and spoons were in a bag on her arm. And a glass of milk in each hand. Kurt was sitting on his bed cross legged. He was wearing a pair of red athletic shorts and a white tank top.
"Hey" Kitty greeted sitting on the bed after she sat the glasses of milk on the bedside stand.
"Hi" Kurt greeted back.
"I brought junk food" Kitty announced pulling out the various junk food items she had bought earlier.
"Vhy?" Kurt asked, watching as Kitty pulled the last spoon from the bag she had been carrying.
"Because you're depressed, everybody eats junk food when their depressed, duh silly" Kitty replied beginning to open the snack items.
"So since I'm sad I need junk food?" Kurt asked, clearly wondering if this was a real thing or a Kitty thing.
"Yes exactly," Kitty told him smiling as she opened the ice cream and stuck the two spoons in it and moving closer to Kurt. Kurt shrugged and grabbed one of the spoons eating a little bit of the ice cream.
"I'm sorry about Todd going missing" Kitty said after a few minutes, she had tried to say it before but Remy had asked for her help choosing an outfit for a date with Logan. Logan had clearly been relived when she nodded. After helping with the outfit Kitty learned that Logan was keeping everyone from saying they were sorry about Todd. But Logan's glares and growls didn't work on Kitty. So Remy had stepped in to help Logan, but now neither of them were there and she had to say it. She had to let her friend know she cared about Todd, she knew she had made Kurt upset with her continued dislike of the other teen. It wasn't that she disliked him as a person, she only worried about Kurt. But that would stop, she would trust Todd not to hurt him if they got him back before he died. She hated to see her friend so depressed, she wanted the old Kurt back.
"I don't vant your apologies Kitty, I don't vant anybody's. I vant Todd, please Kitty just don't apologize" Kurt retorted. Kitty nodded her head and ate some of the ice cream that Kurt still held.
"We'll find him" she promised, she knew that really wasn't something she could promise but she would do all she could to keep it. She would do everything to help the others find Todd. Kurt looked at her briefly before looking away and Kitty knew that he was doubting it, that he was getting ready for Todd's death. 'Kurt thinks he's going to die before we have the chance to find him' Kitty thought. She hated that her friend was thinking that, though if she was being honest she was thinking it herself. She had asked the professor earlier how badly injured Todd was, his reponse had not been a good one. He told her that every minute that passed was another minute against them finding Todd alive. But Kurt also had hope in his eyes and that was the emotion she would latch onto. She wouldn't let her friend suffer like this without hope, Kurt needed that hope. He had to believe that Todd would live. "He'll be okay, I know he will" she added.
"Ja" Kurt said softly grabbing an oreo.
"You know I'm right, he's not one to just give up without a fight. Todd is hard headed, and he has never been one to just roll over and quit. He'll fight, he's a fighter. Whether he's fighting an enemy or fighting for his life it'll be the same. He's not going to stop fighting and let whoever has him win. You've seen it as much as I have, maybe more" Kitty said, she wasn't lying, Todd was a fighter. She just hoped that she was right in saying that Todd would fight for his life and not let whoever has him win. She prayed that Todd put up one hell of a fight, both for himself and for Kurt. Kurt smiled slightly, it was only a ghost of his former happy, care free, and teasing smile, but it was a smile none the less. It made hope flare up in Kitty's heart that he would be his same old self, but at the same time made her miss Kurt's smile. She had no doubt if she wanted to see that smile in the near future they had to find Todd.
"Todd fought back even when he should have stopped, he always does. He hates when people beat him, he wants to prove himself. He wants to prove he's not just a stupid kid. He spent half of his life trying to escape the people who judged him. He's not stupid though, like people say, he's actually smart" Kurt told her. Kitty smiled at him, she could see the love that he still felt for Todd showing in his eyes. It seemed like forever since she last saw another emotion besides for sadness in Kurt's eyes. He had been quite and sad the last few days, he never said a word, to anybody. Even the Professor had been meant with silence when he tried to talk to Kurt. And Kitty had had no idea how much she would miss her friends smile and voice until they were gone. She missed talking to Kurt so much, she missed Kurt's teasing smiles and his jokes. Kurt was easily her best friend, and now she felt like she was losing him. It was the same old Kurt and she knew that but he just seemed so diffrent from his usual self, he seemed like a completely different person.
