Mutant Crush - Chapter 5

After Kitty had left Lance's room, Pietro came in, "Hey, what's up?"

Lance looked angrily at Pietro and turned away.

"I'm sorry, why do you have to be so mad anyways?"

No answer.

"Is this all because of me hugging Kitty?"

No answer.

"If it is, then you don't have to go crazy and tried to kill us all."

No answer.

"I see you're not talking to me and so here is what I'm going to say," Pietro paused, "Listen, if you really like Kitty, which I know you do, then why don't you ask her out? Also I only hugged to make her feel better, what's the big deal? After all, I didn't kiss her."

After that Pietro left. Lance started staring at the ceiling again. He's right, what was the big deal? Lance thought, then he felt bad for ignoring Pietro.

A week later at school, Kitty happily arrived at her locker. Someone surprised her; it was Mary-Ann. "You're out of the hospital?"

"Yup. Feeling great after being stuck in that hospital bed."

The girls giggled.

"Are you back to normal now?" Kitty asked.

"Pretty much, just got a few Band-Aids on me."

The girls walked over to the first class. They kept talking and talking and wouldn't stop.

In gym class, Kitty was in a good mood and not anymore. A guy from her gym class was pretty mean to her and of course Kitty couldn't take his attitude. When the class was about to be over, Kitty phased through the walls and in front of her locker. She sat down and put her hands over her eyes and burst out crying. A comforting voice trailed in the empty hallway, "What's wrong Kitty?"

"Nothing is wrong." Kitty sobbed. She looked up and it was Lance.

"Yes there is." Lance was on crutches, and he sat down beside her. Sitting beside her, he carefully placed his crutches beside him.

Suddenly Kitty put her arms around Lance. She couldn't help it anymore. A few seconds later, she let go. Then phased through some more walls. Meanwhile, Lance was really confused. Was Kitty hugging me? Does she still like me?

At lunchtime, Pietro came by Lance's locker. "Hey lover-boy.."

"Don't call me that you loser."

"Okay whatever, anyways I was thinking and been meaning to ask you this for a long time.." Pietro paused.

"Keep talking."

"Do you still love Kitty?"

Lance's eyes widened, he didn't want to admit it anymore, "What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you want to know?"

"Just answer it Lance, yes or no?"

"Fine, no! I do not have feelings for Kitty any more." Lance was clearly lying. "Now would you leave me alone?"

"Okay, because I'm going to ask Kitty to go out with me."

"YOU ARE GOING TO DO WHAT?"

"That's right! You heard me, I'm going to ask Kitty to go out with me, AGAIN." Pietro emphasized on 'again'.

"Do whatever you wish!" Lance slammed his locker door and walked away angrily.

After school, Todd was waiting for Pietro outside. "Pietro!"

"What do you want Todd?"

"I heard you are going out with Kitty, is that true?"

"Yeah, so what if it is. I guess news travel pretty fast."

"Pietro? Are you going nuts? You and I both know Lance loves her."

"So? He said he doesn't anymore."

"But.. but.. you know that he didn't mean it."

"He said it, not me. Besides Ms. Pryde is a pretty thing."

Pietro walked away happily. He only hoped that the words didn't go that far, at least that Kitty didn't hear about it.

Author's Note:

Do you guys like it? Please review, this is turning into more like a Kietro fic. But it will still remain mostly Lancitty. Please review. Some next chapter previews: Pietro gets closer to Kitty? Will Lance get over Kitty? Who will Kitty choose? And what about her friend Mary-Ann? This is all getting really really interesting so please review and give a suggestion (if you have any).
