When All The World Is Sleeping
Disclaimer: It should be blatantly obvious to even the simplest-minded individual that I do not own and never will own X-men Evolution and the song Dreaming of You.
A/N: Whee, my very first fanfic! The Fallen Angel has arrived… ^_^
:Chapter One:
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
Pietro Maximoff lay in his bed, staring blindly at the dark ceiling. The soft beep of the digital clock on his table told him it was almost dawn.
I stay up and think of you
A sigh, a barely inaudible sound of despair, escaped from his lips. Another sleepless night… thinking about her.
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
This is crazy. He groaned and rolled over, burying his face in his pillow. But as soon as he closed his eyes, a stream of images flooded into his mind. Large sapphire blue eyes that reminded him of an angel's. Glossy chestnut hair tied up in a bouncy ponytail. Delicate pink lips that so easily curved into a sweet smile.
'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! NonononononoNONONO!!!" Quick as a flash, Pietro jumped out of bed and paced left and right at more than thrice the normal speed. "This is so screwed up. I should not be in love with Kitty Pryde!"
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
But he was. Completely, irrevocably, head-over-heels in love.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
He stopped pacing and, thinking What the hell with it?, banged his head against the wall. It hurt, but not as much as the ache he felt in his heart whenever he saw Kitty, knowing he could never have her.
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
A wry smile lifted the corners of his lips. It was damned funny to think that he, Pietro Maximoff, legendary bad boy and heartbreaker extraordinaire of Bayville High School, was losing sleep over a goody-two-shoes X-geek.
Wonder if you ever see me
She's never gonna love you back, said a tiny voice in his head. You're one of the bad guys and she's part of the team that saves the day. You and your buds made that mess in the gym, she helped clean it up. Face it, you're too different to be together.
And I wonder if you know I'm there
Opposites attract, though, whispered another voice that Pietro was sure belonged to his heart.
If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
He wanted to let Kitty see the real him, to show her that he was more than the jerk who once ended up in jail for trashing school lockers. He didn't want to feel like this anymore, so torn apart and… incomplete.
For God's sake, he wanted a decent night's sleep.
Would you even care
Pushing aside the curtains, he gazed at the night sky beyond his bedroom window, taking solace in the fact that the girl of his dreams was somewhere under that blanket of tiny diamonds against crushed black velvet. Maybe even looking at the same stars as he was now. And he made a decision.
Tomorrow, he would tell her how much he loved her.
