"I'm really sorry about earlier," Ami said as the two headed back to Kurt's room after dinner.
"It's okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose," he replied.
The two fell into a tense silence much like the one they were in at dinner. They reached Kurt's room and Ami messed around on the computer while Kurt took a desperately needed shower. His little Danger Room session had run long and he hadn't had an opportunity to shower before dinner.
Ami sighed as she stared at the computer screen. Lots of couples didn't have sex until they were married, and if that's how Jon had wanted it she would have been more than happy. He was the only person she'd ever slept with, and in her opinion it had been a little too soon, but she had given in to pressure just to get him to shut up. Every fiber of her being regretted that, from the day it happened until now, but she just hid that away with all the other emotions he evoked from her. But if lots of couples did it then why was it making things so awkward between the two of them? Granted, the average man didn't spend a good amount of his life training to be a priest, but that shouldn't matter, or at least Ami didn't think so. The truth of the matter was that if Kurt proposed to her, she'd say yes despite their relatively short time together. She was so sure of her love for him that if she had to wait a million years for him to be ready she would without question.
The water in the shower turned off and Ami heard some shuffling around inside the bathroom. After a couple minutes and a string of words in German she didn't understand, Kurt popped his head out of the door.
"Yes dear?" Ami said, an amused look on her face. "Forget something?"
"Pants."
"Forgot your jammies?"
"Yes. Can you please get me some? They're in the top drawer."
Ami couldn't help but laugh at the disgruntled mutant who was currently dripping on the carpet. She grabbed the least ugly pair of pajama pants she could find and carried them over to him, taking her sweet time. "What do you say?" She asked, holding them just out of reach.
Kurt finally smiled. "Thank you?"
"Very good." Ami went to hand him the pants but at the last minute pulled them away, leaning in quick and kissing him instead.
She had only meant for it to be an innocent kiss, but given their past couple of weeks, and the events of earlier it was destined to be more. The kiss became more passionate as Kurt pulled Ami close to his wet body. They both felt the towel around his waist drop to the floor but at this point neither of them cared. Suddenly brazen, Kurt scooped Ami up in his arms and laid her down on the bed.
"Kurt, are you sure?" Ami asked.
The look in his eyes gave her all the answer she needed, and her clothes quickly found their way to the floor.
Joining her on the bed, Kurt stopped and looked her in the eyes. "I love you," he whispered.
Ami bit her lower lip. "I love you too."
