Kitty x Erik: Kiss on the Lips

Kitty Pryde was having a prime example of a no good, very bad, day.

It had started with little things, hitting her head with a cupboard door, shoelaces breaking when going on her morning run.

Erik.

But as her evening progressed and the excitement over going to a party held by Tony Stark set in, all of these petty problems seemed to drift away.

Then when she got there they came back, in full force, with friends.

First her heel caught in the hem of her dress without her knowing and in one step her dress ripped.

And not a little rip, oh no! The whole freaking train ripped right off!

Of course it couldn't just be that she tore her dress. Nope she had to do it right in front of Pepper Potts, so there was no chance for her to just slink away in horror.

Instead she was whisked up to Pepper's bedroom and shoved into a borrowed dress that fit her in all the wrong ways.

But still Kitty had been determined to enjoy her evening regardless.

Then came the two caps of her evening.

First came the fireworks that triggered something in her brain that caused her to hide, barely able to catch her breath in a closet, while she shivered and sobbed into her arms wishing they would just end already.

Then just as she was sure nothing worse could happen, just as she was leaving said closet, she came upon Bobby.

Bobby who she was sure liked her, Bobby who she was sure she should like.

Bobby, who had his tongue down the pretty new human nurse's throat.

For a moment anger overwhelmed her, before quickly fading away with a lingering sensation that she was only angry because she felt she ought to be.

As the anger and unease left all she felt was tired and with a sigh she left the party sending Jean a strong thought that she was fine and not to worry.

Which of course just made Jean worry and Kitty had to scramble to reassure her before finally getting in a cab and going home.

Upon arriving home all she wanted to do was soak in the tub then sleep the day away.

But of course she couldn't even do that because...Erik.

He was in the kitchen having a cup of some floral smelling tea (which, had she been in a better mood, she totally would have teased him about a wanna-be-world-dictator drinking rose scented tea. It just would have been too easy.) when she entered it to see if there was any of Ororo's hidden stash of wine left.

As she shoved her head into various cupboards, she caught a glimpse of him opening his mouth obviously about to comment on something.

Spinning around to face him, Kitty stuck her finger in his face and growled. "Not one word. My day has sucked enough already with out any commentary from the peanut gallery."

Amazingly he said not a word in response, merely raising his brows in question.

And Kitty, without knowing why, plopped down on the stool across from him and poured out the whole sorry story.

By the end of it she had her head buried in her arms on top of the table and was muttering to herself.

"One nice thing. One nice thing—is that too much to ask for?"

Erik, who to Kitty's everlasting astonishment, had stayed quiet through her entire triad, leaned across the table, lifted her chin, his long fingers gently cupping it and placed a long, sweet, NICE, kiss on her lips.

Just as Kitty was really starting to kiss him back, he pulled away and, giving her a look that was at once unreadable and yet at the same time capable of heating her blood like nothing else ever had, left the room still without a word.

Kitty sat for a moment in silence, eyes blown wide open and heart pounding a mile a minute.

Then lifting a finger to her still tingling lips whispered. "Okay, that was worth everything else."

Author's Note: Sorry about the tiny lettering first off. My computer is having a day. (Rolls eyes) The back story for this one is not thought out at all. I was pretty much having Kitty's day without an Erik to kiss it better so I decided to write fluff of one of my OTPs. LOL

I hope it brightened up your day like it did mine and thank you so much for reading.

And special thanks to Setsunakou once more. You are a delight.
