Moonlight Reflections Chapter Seven Holidays By: NightElfCrawler
It was a very chilly day, and despite the warm coat of fur he was used to wearing, Kurt was freezing. He rubbed his hands together, wearing thick gloves, as he stood outside of the school waiting for Scott to find the car. It had to be below 0 or something! He was turning bluer than normal beneath the holowatch. He pulled the hat over his ears more, longer pointy ears looked cool, but they needed to be kept warm since they poked out of his hair. His tail was miserably curled around his waist, and he was irritated that a cold draft kept sneaking up from the place cut in his pants for it.
"Yo, K-man." Evan ran up, bundled up even more than Kurt. "Man, it is COLD out... what's with the temp."
Kurt flashed a grin. "Maybe it vill snow?"
Evan glanced at the sky. "Yeah, I think you're right. If not, tomorrow will be HELL for school... bleh, sitting through another day without heating just sucks, man." Evan rubbed his arms and shivered as well. "We're all gonna catch a bug or something if they don't' fix it."
Kurt nodded in understanding. The heater had mysteriously broken earlier this week after a strange tremor, by the way that had happened more and more frequently in the past year, had shook the building. Of course, all the students at the Xavier Institute knew who to blame... and Lance wasn't hearing the end of it all week if they had anything to say about it.
Their breaths hit the air in large icy clouds, and they both hopped up and down on one leg after another to keep moving in warmth, just as Scott drove up. It was days like these they were glad his convertible had a top with an AWESOME heating system. "Hey guys, get in." Scott said opening the door for them.
They both wasted no time piling in, finding Kitty and Rogue already in the car. "Brrr... Man can you guys like, hurry up, you're letting the cold air in!" Kitty complained, as Rogue just pulled her thick black jacket closer to her.
They hopped in, Evan in the front seat, and Kurt managed to wedge into the back beside Rogue, and Scott took off, the heater blasting. "Ahhhh... now that's a vonderful feeling." Kurt said, turning his holowatch off, peeling his gloves off, and unzipping his jacket as the blissful heat warmed them right up.
Rogue snorted a bit, and just looked very unhappy to be sitting in the middle.
Evan turned around halfway as much as his seatbelt would let him. "So, you going home this year for the holidays?" He said generically to everyone.
Kitty nodded. "Like, duh!"
Rogue just looked away, with a long suffering glare directed at the roof.
Evan blinked, shrugged, and glanced at Kurt. "What about you?"
Kurt grinned. "Ja... mein plane leaves tomorrow bright and early!"
Rogue glanced over at him. "If it leaves you mean."
Kurt glanced at her with a quizzical look. "Vhat do you mean?"
Rogue raised an eyebrow. "You mean you haven't been listnin' ta tha weather report?" She snorted. "They're callin' for a blizzard to blow in tonight."
Everyone watching could visibly see his ears droop. "Oh great...."
Kitty gave her roommate a look of disgust. "Like, you know how bad weathermen are at predicting the weather... they could be wrong."
Kurt perked up a bit. "Ah, right."
They drove back and hopped as quickly as they could from the car into the institute before their toes could freeze in the snow. Once inside, everyone split up into groups to go study, work out, or whatever they normally did before training. Kurt ported to his room and started blasting his stereo, dancing around to the music as he unpacked his school books. A half packed suitcase was on his bed, and he jumped on top of it, then swung up to the chandelier to get a better perch to read from. He always loved to read upside down, it helped him think better, with all the blood rushing to his head. On other people it'd make them dizzy or lightheaded, but he was perfectly suited to it.
As he read, he glanced over to the side, and saw someone making their way up through the snow. He didn't recognize her immediately, but something tickled his mind, so he teleported down to the main room which was empty. He flicked his holowatch on, just in case, and waited as the girl approached. As she walked up to the doors, he recognized her, it was Risty, Rogue's friend. He opened the doors quickly for her. "Hi! Vhat's up?" He said cheerily.
Risty gave him a flashing grin, and pulled her hood down shaking her head a bit. "Brr... talk about your freezer out there." She glanced at him, and he thought he caught a flicker of some other emotion in her eyes before it passed. "Is Rogue here?"
"Ja, I think so, she came home vith us anyvay." He glanced up the stairs, no one was there still. "Vant me to take you zere?" Risty looked at him, then suddenly grabbed his wrist, startling him, but luckily he was wearing a long sleeve shirt. "Er... vhat's up?"
She lowered her voice. "I have to be honest with you Kurt... Rouge doesn't know this, and neither does anyone else, but I know about this place... more than you can imagine."
His eyes shot open wider. "Um.... ja it's a pretty cool school and all..." He fumbled for an excuse.
Her eyes suddenly flashed a different color gold than what they were, and Kurt froze. He knew those eyes. "You know what I mean." Her voice had lost that English accent, and turned darker, deeper. His fur stood on end, not knowing what SHE wanted.
"V...vhat are you doing..." He gulped out, not liking the way she was holding him still. "Vhy are you here."
Risty let him go then, her eyes changing back and voice turning back to normal. "We have to chat sometime, it'd be a bloody fun time."
He blinked, then glanced over and saw Rogue coming down the stairs, and bit his lip. "ah... Sure... I guess..."
"Hi Risty!" Rogue waved, and then shot Kurt a look like 'don't you have better places to be?'.
Kurt quickly straightened and stepped back. "Vell, I have homevork to do, and packing..." And with that, he dashed up the stairs quickly, heart still pounding in fear. What in the world did Mystique want to talk to him for? He went into his room, and turned the watch off, throwing it onto his dresser, and plopped on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "Zat vas very vierd..." He muttered.
"Like, what was?"
"ACH!" This time, he did jump up and cling to the bedpost, as Kitty's head appeared in the middle of his bed suddenly. "GEH! Kitty!" He dropped back down as she rose up out of the floor. "Vhat are you trying to do, scare me?"
She just gave him a 'yeah right' look and sat on his bed, poking at one of his books with a pencil. "So, I have a personal question to ask..."
Kurt blinked and stood up, facing her, not sure what she meant. "Ok...."
Kitty rubbed the back of her neck nervously, and shifted on her feet. Kurt sighed mentally as he watched her slender form..
"Helloooo!" Her hand waved in front of his face suddenly, and he jumped with a yelp.
"Ah. sorry Kitty." He blushed a bit and looked down at the bed playing with a loose string.
"Like you are so spacy sometimes." She put her hands on her hips and looked semi-cross. "Anyway." Kurt sat up, hugging a pillow to his chest and cocked his head to the side. "Sure, vhat is it?"
Kitty sighed and plopped down on the bed next to him. "You and Amanda.. You're really happy together aren't you?"
He blinked a bit surprised at that, but smiled faintly and nodded. "Ja.I've never been happier."
She bit her lip. "Did you know when you saw her that she was special?"
Kurt wondered why she was asking him this, but he folded his arms over his knees and thought. "Well.. not right off. I was shy and nervous, since I had no idea she already knew what I looked like, so I was so worried about her finding out I didn't really notice. but. after the dance and I found out she knew what I really looked like, and she didn't care, ja, I suppose I did know she was special. you don't meet many people like that."
She sighed a bit and seemed glum. Kurt leaned forward. "What's wrong. is it Lance?"
She nodded. "Yeah. like. I keep breaking up and getting back together with him you know...It's like, I really like him and all, but he can be such a jerk."
Kurt nodded a bit. "Ja. that's true." He scratched his arm a bit. "He's not a bad person really, he just wants to act like it..maybe you can make him see the truth sometime?"
She smiled sadly. "Maybe..I just don't see him changing."
"Hey, it could happen. This is the time for miracles, ja?" He flashed her a grin.
She smiled brightly. "You're right Kurt, thanks!" She launched herself at him and gave him a big hug, which surprised him, but he smiled and hugged her back gently. She pulled back and waved hopping off his bed. "Well, better let you finish packing. I'm leaving tonight, so I'll see you after the break!"
Kurt grinned back and waved. "Ok.Happy Chanukah Kitty!"
"Thanks Kurt.. Merry Christmas to you too." She grinned and waved, then ran out.
Kurt sighed a bit. He was glad that Kitty had warmed up to him so much.when he thought what it had been like when they'd first met, he still marveled that he was so at ease and comfortable here.
With a grin, Kurt finished packing his suitcase, and bamfed down to eat dinner.
