Lotsa Victor/Kitty this chapter. Please review.
Kitty smiled as she saw Victor sitting on the porch railing, smoking a cigarette and staring off into nothing. She phased through the door and wondered if she could sneak up on him.
"Hey Kit-cat," he said as she took what she was hoping would be a silent step towards him. She smiled at the nickname he had given her "It's no fun when your super senses make it so I can't sneak up on you," she said and he chuckled and looked over his shoulder at her.
"Would you like to do it again and I'll just pretend to be surprised," he said and she shook her head and walked over to him, leaning on the rail next to him.
"Watcha lookin at?" she asked.
"Nothing really, just snuck out before Bobby could find me.
Kitty laughed "He's really taken to you huh?"
"It's wierd, most of the time kids are scared of me and Jimmy," he said.
"Well nobody's scared of you here," she said as she moved to sit on the rail as well.
"I know, it's just taking a bit to get used to it," Victor replied.
It was silent between them and a soft warm breeze began to blow and Victor's senses were overwhelmed with Kitty's scent.
"When I was twelve my power first appeared, I was upset because the first boy I had a crush on told me he didn't like me, so I went into the bathroom at school and cried. I was heart broken and when I fell to the ground because it hurt so bad I phased right through the floor and fell into the 7th grade history class. After that everyone was scared of me and called me a freak, all my friends didn't want anything to do with me and my parents didn't know what to do. They took me to temple so I could pray for God to take my curse away, I prayed all the time for my power to leave me, until Professor Xavier found me and my parents let me come here," she said and Victor just sat and stared at her. "I know it's not as complex and heroing as what you and Logan have been through, but I understand what it's like to be feared for who you are," she finished softly.
"Do you still pray?" he asked.
She smiled slightly and nodded her head "Yea I do."
Victor leaned closer to her and he could hear her heart begin to race. "Then the next time you pray, pray for me," he whispered as he pressed his lips to hers softly.

Logan smiled as he looked out the kitchen window and saw Victor and Kitty sitting on the porch railing, Kitty was talking and Victor sat listening. He knew his brother was smitten and he was glad that he had found someone like Kitty.
The young feral looked away as Victor kissed her, he would give them their privacy. He headed to his room, he needed to think about what Remy had said that morning and why every time he thought of the Cajun he smiled.
He fell back onto his bed and closed his eyes. It wasn't as if he had never been with a man before, he'd had as many male lovers as female. Where Victor was strictly all about women he had found that he liked both sexes. Logan remembered the time when Victor had finally figured out that he had a male lover. It had been in the 1920's he couldn't remember the actual date but he had come home to find Victor waiting up for him.
Victor had seemed hurt and confused and Logan had been paralyzed with fear when Victor had revealed that he had followed him. Logan was sure that his brother would tell him that he hated him, that he needed to leave and never come back. That or Victor would just kill him outright for what Logan had been doing.
Logan had choked out an 'I'm sorry' and the older feral just shook his head and pulled his brother into a hug. 'I don't care Jimmy, brother's stick together no matter what, I just wished you woulda told me," Victor had said and Logan sagged against the older mutant as relief, shock, and shame ran through him. Victor had held on to him tightly and Logan just whispered that he was sorry over and over again.
He shook his head to get rid of the memory and sighed as he thought about Remy once more. He had always thought that the Cajun was handsome but Remy was also a flirt and figured that the young man was just using his charm on him like he did everyone else. There was nothing between them but friendship and a slight attraction. He never figured Remy for the whole monogamous relationship anyway. Logan knew they would just stay friends and he tried to convince himself that he was fine with that.
