Chapter 11: The not-so-secret love affair.

Disclaimer: I don't own X-men… that is torture.

She cracked open her eyes, as a great sense of calm came crashing over her. She felt his arms instinctively tighten around her slender waist and his shallow breathing cascading against her neck. He mumbled in his sleep as he crushed his face to her sweet smelling hair. His body was pressed lovingly to her back in a protective way. He silently stirred in his dreams as she playfully poked his arm that rested on her side. She giggled and softly turned to face him, planting a kiss on his peaceful face, lightly on his cheek.

He pried open his golden eyes and focused on the girl laying in front of him. Her smile made him melt. "Morgen schon."-(morning beautiful)

"Morning Mr. Bed head…" she giggled some more as she gazed over his hair and fur, all ruffled from sleep. She lightly smoothed the fluff on his skin.

He grinned, "Just can't vwait to touch me can you?"

She placed her lips close to his, brushing them against his as she spoke. "Can you blame me?" He shivered as she seductively trailed her lips along his jaw, letting her sweet breath fall along his skin. "I think I'm going to get up, hunger is taking over."

"You sure it's for food?" He said in a teasing tone.

She glared at him as she pulled away, "Don't push your luck Elf, besides I'm pretty sure you're the one who's hungry for more." She then got up and walked to the bathroom with a giggle.

He's questioning face followed her as he wondered what she meant. Then looking down, he realized the real meaning she had for his hunger. "Dam mornings…" he cursed himself.

She told him to meet her for breakfast down stairs; she needed to straighten Kitty out, just in case she started blabbing. She kissed him tenderly on his cheek, then quietly opened his door, checked the hall for witnesses, and slipped out as inconspicuous as she could.

Refocusing on the day ahead of him he realized with great pity to himself… "I'm going to have to teach a class of students vwith her around me… vwonder how horribly this vwill turn out." He sighed and walked over to his bathroom, happy to be graced with her familiar sent. "Ja, today's going to be a long day."

Kitty squealed as she saw Elana enter into her room. "Elana! You are going to like tell me EVERYTHING, and no details left out!" She growled.

"Kitty, its a little privet. Can I just give you an overview?"

"Humph"… she gave a disappointed look. "Fine, but you have to answer my questions!"

"I guess… just don't ask questions that you know I'm not willing to answer."

Kitty was blown away from all that she was hearing. "I really think you should slow it down a bit Elana."

"Why, you don't think he will take advantage of me? Do you?"

"Well no… he loves you Elana"

"Ya, so what's the reason to worry?"

"Uh…" She wasn't sure how to say it.

"Why do you think we should slow down? I'm not coming off as a slut am I?"

"No…"

"Well do you think I'm not good enough for him? Is that it? Do you feel I don't deserve him?" She was slowly becoming more and more hurt by all the imaginary judgment she thought Kitty was passing out on her.

"No Elana! Of course I wouldn't think that!" she sighed, "I just know Kurt really well… and he can get attached really easily. I'm not saying that I don't think you two are perfect, it's just… sometimes people aren't what you like thought they were when you first met."

"Are you saying Kurt is acting different than usual?"

"Not in a bad way… he is actually a lot happier and confident, now that he has you."

"Really? Well then what has you so worried?"

"I just don't want you guys like rushing into anything, that's all."

"Well, I never push him too far. When he wants to stop I stop. But sometimes I just… uhhh."

"What?" Kitty mused.

"I just… I want him so bad!"

"Ha ha, you have the hots for the fuzzy dude!" She giggled at her friends' pitiful state. "Like I don't think you'll have to wait too long if he feels the same way…"

She glared at the laughing girl, "So… how did your date at the beach with Bobby go?"

Kitty's laughter suddenly stopped as she looked to Elana. "Um, it was nice. Yes, like very nice." She tried to sound innocent.

"Really? Cause I think that it went a whole hell of a lot better than "nice" since I see his shirt lying over there in the corner of the room." She leaned in to Kitty, "Care to explain, or do you want to slow it down a bit?"

She grumbled, "Ok fine you like caught me, but we only made out!"

"So that's why you checked on Kurt, to see where I was…" She watched Kitty's blush steam. "Smart Kitty, well I'm getting pretty hungry… I'll meet you down for breakfast."

As the door closed Kitty snickered to herself, -"Too bad Kurt didn't point out that hickey on her neck, that's going to spark like some very awkward conversations…" She smiled to herself, "karmas like totally sweet", and then got up to start her day.

Elana walked down the stairs and was greeted with a couple giggles and all knowing glances by some of the kids who walked by. She looked herself over and didn't see anything amiss. "Kitty probably just couldn't wait to spread rumors last night", she decided for herself. Entering into the kitchen she found Jean eating a bowl of cereal, deep in thought. The red headed beauty looked up to greet Elana. "Hey, how did you slee…" she froze, "Or didn't sleep as the case may be…" a small smirk found its way across her lips.

"Jee thanks" she said assuming the telepath was talking about her looks.

She corrected herself, "I was talking about the hickey with bight marks on your lower shoulder, right around where your straps should be."

Elana restrained the urge to scream, "What!" she franticly looked for a mirror as she moved her loose straps to hide what she couldn't see, a blush radiated across her face.

Jean picked up an aluminum tray from the counter to show her. She laughed as Elana let out a squeak. There it was, plain as day, proof of their dirty little secret that they had wanted so badly to keep silent. "So I take it you went for round two last night?" Jean giggled again.

Elana blushed, "Um… maybe?"

Just then Kurt appeared into the kitchen with a bright smile on his face, "Guten Morgen liebe, you two slept vwell?" He looked over to Elana, as he thought he was putting on a good show till Jean spoiled his moment.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure you know exactly how well she slept."

Kurt stopped dead in his tracks and stared at Elana… "You told her?" he asked in a hurt tone.

Jean chimed in… "No actually Kurt, you did." She reached over to point at Elanas shoulder, revealing the hickey to him. "The passion mark you left on her supplied a whole lot of answers on its own."

His skin turned violet as he stared at the pink bight mark in horror. "Oh scheiße,-(oh shit) I'm so stupid!" he quickly closed the space between them to get a better look.

"Aw, did you get lost in the moment?" Jean chimed in a faultless tone.

Kurt shot her a look and responded with more force, "Oh please, don't think no one noticed that for the first three months that you und Scott started dating you vwere vwearing long sleeves all the time… at least I'll learn."

Jean was shocked at the speed and harshness with his comeback. "Jees Kurt, I was just kidding."

Elana added, "Ya Kurt, lighten up."

He looked back to her apologetically, "Hhu, I'm sorry Jean… it's just, the vwhole reason vwe vwanted to keep it secret vwas because of the teasing und gossip. I just can't believe I was stupid enough to do this." He said looking back to the mark. "I'm sorry Elana."

She smiled and then whispered to him as Jean walked over to clean her bowl, "Well I kinda like it." She ran her fingers across his bight. "It's kinky." He smirked at her complement and planted a kiss on her forehead, she answered him again as he pulled away from the kiss, "But if you leave a hickey on my head, I'll have to kill you."

He chuckled "Ok, ok I get it… no more hickeys." He said looking at her now sexily smiling face.

"At least where people can see them." She added as she walked out of the kitchen, to get dressed in her trainee X men suit, since all the shock made her loose her appetite.

His stared wide-eyed as she walked away. "Vwhy must she do that to me?" he thought to himself.

Jean chimed in merrily, "Because Kurt, it's very hard for a girl not to flirt with her boyfriend, especially when it's just so easy to make you blush."

He looked toward her, his eyes held a slight amount of irritation. "That vwas a rhetorical question Jean…"

She smirked at him as she headed out the door, "Really? Well then, I guess what she was really thinking has no meaning to you, right?"

He BAMFed in front of her, a smile played across his lips. "Her thoughts always have meaning to me Jean. Now vwhy don't you share?"

She lifted him telekinetically and whispered in his own head, "You'll just have to ask her that yourself Kurt, or find out on your own." With that, she was off, dangerously aware of every thought that now crossed the enigma of the young Nightcrawlers mind.

He ported to the class room to get an early start above the children. Today's the day vwe intrude the danger room… he was nervous to say the least. Not only was he going to have to deal with the fact that Elana was watching his every move, but now their secretive relationship was sure to be out in the open. Thinking of all the whispering students with all sorts of crazy and wild rumors made him want to gag. He always loved attention, but not when it was spoiled with lies.

As he was looking through his students paper work to learn more about each one of their individual powers some early stragglers came walking in like zombies. He looked up from his work, "To early for you guys? You all look as if you have been chained in a cellar for a vweek." The kids smiled weakly, not really comprehending the statement he had made as they quietly stared off into space, undoubtedly morning about the day ahead of them.

Soon the class was filled with the hustle and bustle of an overcrowded class room. He looked over to see Elana sitting alone, just as uncomfortable as he was. His heightened hearing picked up every conversation, and for a minute he felt like Jean with all the thoughts and opinions whirling around in his head. The news had spread like crazy about a certain blue mutant and his interesting girlfriend. Hearing too much, he cleared his throat loudly to quiet the class. They all stopped at once to listen to what he was about to say. "Guten Morgen students, does everyone know vwhere the danger room is?"

All the kids shook and nodded their heads indifferently.

"Gut, then you guys can head out that vway. I hope you all brought your best training attitude because this morning vwill be no vwalk in the park."

A large huff exhaled from the crowd of children as they slumped their way out the door. He chuckled to himself as he watched them trudge through the doorway, memories flooding back to him from years before. The last two students filed out of the room leaving him to grab all his papers that he needed, there was no reason to rush, and he knew he could beat all of them there with ease. He sifted through the profiles of the students until a pair of genital hands wrapped around him, taking him by surprise. He turned to face the familiar smell of the lovely Elana who looked to him happily.

"Sorry I couldn't help myself from slipping back in here." She said, smiling willfully as he took the complement.

He moved his hands to cup her cheeks and kiss her nose lightly; laughing as she scrunched her eyes together and giggled to herself giddily. He then backed away from her embrace and smiled evilly. "Vwere going to need to stop und get over to that class, I don't need to be going back to the crowd of children vwith a guilty look plastered all over my face."

She smiled, tempting him as she fell into his arms again, brushing her lips on his cheek as she spoke. "Why ever would they think that?" innocence in her voice.

Smirking at her he stated, "Vwell since the vwhole class vwas talking about your bight, I assumed that they are thinking a lot of different things…"

"So? Let them think and talk, we don't need to prove anything to them."

He leaned forward and kissed the top of her head, "That may be liebe, but I am the teacher. Rumors' spreading like vwild fire about my love life doesn't really put me in the professional view now does it?"

"I don't mind, besides, you can't just tell everyone to stop talking, it's almost impossible for teenagers to listen."

"Ja, but vwe could at least behave ourselves vwhile I am around the class."

She sweetly looked over her shoulders, "I don't see anyone…"

"Very funny Elana, but I'm sure you can vwait till the class is over und the kids go to school."

"Ya well, it'll be pretty hard." She pulled away again with a pout.

"I'll see you in the danger room then?"

Sighing, "Yeah I guess…"

"Gut, oh… und you'd better run." He then bowed to her smiling with all elegance and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

She stood alone in the dark room… "Somehow I had a feeling he was going to do this." She then turned to dash down the halls, the danger room waiting for her.

"BAMF"

A girl screamed at Kurt's sudden appearance again, and the whole class erupted into laughter. "Today vwe vwill see all of your team vwork skills, und vwe vwill also see how vwell you all do in the… danger room, dun dun daaa!" he exaggerated the last part making the class giggle once again. Elana then snuck in the room trying not to attract attention to herself, breathing hard from running. "Now, I need all of you to break up into three groups of about ten; then vwe vwill go through a level one training exorcize, just so you guys know vwhat to expect for tomorrow, Ja?"

All the kids excitedly jumped into different groups, loving the fact that they could choose for themselves. He then told which order each group would go in. Every group needed a different strategy and had many sinarios to overcome. After many failed attempts by the first and second group, Elanas group was up next. He had secretly saved Elanas bunch for last, just so he could enjoy her next surprise. She was undoubtedly the most controlled mutant in the class, but to what extent he wasn't sure.

The team slowly made their way in to the large training room as all the other battered classmates watched from above in the observation room. Every student who was inching their way out onto the training ground had a look of fear in their eyes, everyone except for Elana of course. No one was looking forward to getting pummeled before a whole school day.

The whole setting of the room changed into the Xmens own mansion. They all turned around confused from there sudden misplacement. The entire room then began to shake heavily. Fear struck their eyes as they looked down one of the many halls to see the Blob running at them. Most of the team scampered off to go run in different directions, but three of the more advanced students, including Elana held their ground. One of the three made an energy beam shoot from her hand while the other one quickly raised a wall to slow the blob down. The large mutant burst through the rock wall and pushed through the girls beam like it was nothing more than a pretty light show. The girl was forced aside by the giant man, but right before he was about to deliver the final blow Elana struck him from behind with a black flaming whip. The Blob turned around, angered by the sudden pain, and got ready to charge at her. She smiled coldly as he began lunging toward her, every footstep shaking the room violently. Just as he reached her side of the room, she turned, ran halfway up the wall behind her, and then with all grace and elegancy did a back flip, and kicked him Right Square in his back. Her powers then jolted him forward, sending the giant with all of his weight and momentum crashing head first into the wall, knocking him out cold.

The whole room was silent for a moment as the remanding students that had ran as fast as their legs would carry them quietly tiptoed back to see what had transpired. All of them were staring in awe of Elana until one student started cheering, causing the whole class to erupt into a happy and amazed applause. They all made their way out to the observation deck, only to be greeted with more applause as the first team to make it through the training exercise.

Kurt smiled and walked up to the heavily celebrating group. "Very impressive, I guess vwe can end class early just this once, but only because this is your first day in the danger room for all of you."

The whole class began yelling and dancing happily as they all ran out the door not giving him a chance to change his mind, thanking him periodically as they left to get ready for school. Once the class had left Elana walked up to him with a calculating look on her face, smirking at him as he smiled back. "So, you want to hang out today? I mean unless you have any other plans?"

He smirked back at her smartly, "Vwell I vwas supposed to take this really cute girl to the mall a couple days ago, it's the vweirdest thing, she doesn't have any shoes."

"Oh really? So I guess that means you're busy then Hu?"

"Not exactly, vwe never really set up a day to go."

"So then you don't have any plans at all Mr. Wagner?" she said, moving close to him as he flirted with her.

"No I believe I don't, vwhat about you… certainly a girl like you vwould have tons of plans by now."

"Well there was this really sexy guy that had offered to take me shopping, but he failed to make a definite date…"

He was eyeing her suspiciously, "Vwell do you think he vwould mind if I took you instead?"

"Maybe, but then again… I only want to go with you anyway."

He leaned into her and kissed her ear softly, "Then I'm assuming vwe have a date?"

"You assumed correctly." She then sauntered off to the door way making sure his eyes lingered on her. She stopped and looked at him, "I'll meat you in the kitchen at nine. I have to get ready; plus I don't think malls open earlier then nine in the morning anyway."

Kurt smiled and nodded his head, watching her leave. He waited a little, relishing in the moment of her, and then ported himself to his room to get ready for his date.
