Hey all! I'm soooooo sorry for all the late update! I had an extreme case of writer's block, but now, I've come up with a brilliant beyond brilliant end to the plot! I have to have at least a rough idea of where I'm going and for a while, I didn't =) Okay, giving myself way too much credit here, but I've got an idea for the rest of the plot. I dug myself into a hole and needed to find a way out…and I think I have! Well, onto the story! I need comments! Everyone has been sooooo great with their support and constructive criticism, and I'm unbelievably thankful! THANK YOU! Oh and one other thing! Sorry, I know…I like to talk-err-type =) My cousin has signed up for a student exchange program and guess the home-land of the girl that is coming to stay…GERMANY!! I think I creeped my family out when I more exited about the accent, as opposed to the actually girl…=) LoL So now, I'll be able to get the accent more on target. =)
Disclaimer: yes, I own them…I own them ALL! Mmwwaahhhhhaaahhhaaahhhaa ::dragged away by men in white coats:: Disclaimers have made me insane, I hope every1's happy! =)
Kitty entered the mansion later than planned. Though she was embarrassed to admit it, she had lost her way attempting to return to the mansion. Her badly ended encounter with Kurt did not make her day any more enjoyable. She first saw the Professor and Ororo sitting, deep in discussion in the rec. room. She walked towards them, intent on telling of her discussion with Kurt, when she stopped abruptly as she heard something crack under her feet.
"Like, what is this?" She said, causing the other two to jump at the sound of her voice. Kitty quickly identified the shards she had stepped on as glass and looked to her two elders for an explanation. She was given a partial one.
"Kitty, you're home. I apologize for the condition of the rug and window. Some vandals threw a rock, breaking the window, and no one has had the chance to clean it up as of yet." The Professor's explanation satisfied Kitty's confusion, and she launched into a description of the day's events.
"And you don't know where he teleported to?" Ororo asked at the end of Kitty's narrative.
"Nope, he just, like, took off," Kitty said, twirling a piece of hair around her fingers.
"Thank you Kitty. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have a that requires immediate attention." The Professor said, and with that, he and Ororo left the girl alone.
"Hey! Like, what about the window?!" She called after them, but received no response.
"Great! Looks like I get to clean up sharp, pointy things for the second time today," She muttered as she went off in search of a garbage pail.
Rouge rose from her position, sprawled out upon her bed and, with the aid of her remote control, turned off the music and her stereo with the push of a button. She sighed and went off in search of her fuzzy relation. She had attempted to approach him on numerous occasions throughout the past week, but he had always seemed so distant. He would respond to her inquiries, but only with the minimal amount of detail necessary to ensure that she did not further press whatever topic she had brought upon him. Still, she forced herself to go to him again and again, because on many occasions, she was the only living thing to speak with him. The others favored giving him space, giving him time to work out his issues, not badgering him. Rogue believed, however, that Kurt needed to be constantly reassured of the support he had. Of the support she willingly gave. It was obvious that he could not be left alone after the mirror incident, Rogue just wished the others could assess the situation as she could.
She tugged on her leather gloves and closed the door to her room, entering the hallway. She knew Kurt had left his room hours before, but she also had a stronger feeling that he was in there right now. The place no one would think of looking for him, after what had happened earlier. Rogue quickened her stride down the halls until she came upon Kurt's bedroom door. With a small hesitation, a moment of indecision in regards to whether it would be proper announce her presence by knocking first, or to just enter. Choosing the latter, Rogue quickly opened the door and stepped inside, quietly shutting it behind her.
Her suspicions were confirmed when, after her eyes adjusted to the miniscule amount of light, which radiated from the room's only light source, the moon, she saw curled upon the bed, a silhouette of the very mutant she was looking for. His tail jerked spasmodically as the sound of the closing door almost echoed through the silent room, the only indication that he was aware of another's presence invading his solitude.
Rogue silently yet quickly closed the distance between her and the bed. She tentatively sat down next to Kurt, on the edge of the mattress and sat, pondering the best thing to say in an attempt to raise his spirits. This was the scenario for at least five minutes, but it felt like an eternity. Kurt focused his piercing eyes upon Rogue as she sat, thinking. Finally, she spoke.
"Kurt…Ah don't know exactly wha' ya're goin' through, but I just wanted to tell ya…again…that Ah'm always gonna be there for ya." She paused, "Anythang ya wanna tell me, I'll listen to." Kurt responded by closing his eyes. Rogue sighed inwardly. She knew this was how he would react to her sympathy and support, but she wished with all her heart that he would let her help.
"Don't wanna chat? That's okay, but Ah hope ya don't mind me staying here awhile," Receiving no response from Kurt, she muttered to herself, "Ah'll take tha' as a yes," and made her was to the other side of the bed. She laid down, (A/N I know, they technically haven't said if they're brother and sister, or what they are exactly, but for my purposes they're brother and sister…no incest! =) ) gave her brother a quick hug, the stayed, stroking his cheek until he fell into a restless slumber.
Well? Whattya think? I need comments! Ideas! Anything you want to give me, I'll happily accept! I wanna apologize again about the lateness of this update and I'm gonna really try to update more often and with a lot less time in between. =) Please review!
