Ok, I know I started off saying it was a one off, but then I decided to

Remy: be nice t'de readers chere, wit'out dem dere would be no point in de story.
Starlight: Oh shhh you, or I won't write you a love interest.
Remy: Aw, ya'd do dat t'Remy? *puppy eyes*

As they neared the institute, Jean sent a telepathic message to the professor, explaining what had happened and asking if a few students who the professor knew would accept Remy without question straight away could meet them and show Remy around. The Professor sent a message back saying that Kurt and Scott would be waiting for them. Jean told the professor to warn the two boys about Remy's eyes.
They entered the mansion, Remy looking very nervous and clinging on to Jean's hand for dear life.
"It's ok Remy, nobody's going to hurt you." Jean whispered.
Kurt and Scott stepped forward and they each shook Remy's hand and introduced themselves, not one single boy batted an eyelid at any of the others' looks, but Remy did glance at Kurt's tail speculatively, with a faint smile on his face. Jean smiled as well, noticing that Remy was getting a little less hopeless at Kurt and Scott being so friendly.
"I have to go, I have training in about.." she looks at her watch and swears "Ten minutes ago, Logan's gonna kill me." She made her apologies and sprinted off, leaving the three boys alone.
"So, you vant to see the mansion?" Kurt asks Remy, breaking the older boys reverie, during which he had been staring at Kurt's tail, which had flicking back and forth of it's own accord.
"Uh.yea, Remy would like t'see de mansion." He nodded "What is dis place anyway? Jean di'n' say much."
"I'll explain as we go around." Said Scott "Let's start with the kitchen."
"I vas about to suggest that." Grinned Kurt
"You would." Scott laughed as he led the way towards aforementioned kitchen.
About half an hour later, Scott also had to head off to training, leaving Kurt to finish the tour on his own. By now Remy had a pretty good idea of what went on at the institute, and he'd toured most of the lower levels, all that was left was the classrooms and the bedrooms.
Kurt was explaining about something or other but Remy wasn't really paying attention, he was too busy thinking about what he had nearly done earlier and, while he was starting to regret such dramatic action, the idea was still vaguely appealing to him. But the fact that here was a house full of people like him, people who accepted him without a moment's hesitation, was also appealing to him, and the thought of staying here, becoming one of them, being part of this family - for that's what it was - was even more appealing. Maybe he'd wait a bit before thinking about trying it again, maybe it was possible for him to find happiness.
He smiled to himself and found he was staring at Kurt's tail again, he didn't know quite what it was about it that interested him so, but the thing had him transfixed.
Kurt noticed he kept staring at the tail and was getting a bit paranoid about it, he eventually stopped and rounded on Remy.
"Do you have a problem?"
"What? No, no problems mon ami." Remy replied, aware that he must have embarrassed the young mutant by staring at his tail.
"Then stop staring at my tail!" Kurt sounded angry, but sad at the same time, as if Remy's attention had upset him.
The older teen decided to go for the truthful approach "Je suis desolé mon ami, but Remy can' help starin', it's a damn int'restin' tail."
Kurt seemed surprised, that obviously wasn't the answer he'd been expecting "Vhat?"
"I said, it's a damn int'restin' tail homme." Said Remy with a slight shrug "I'm sorry if I'm offending ya, I'll try'n stop."
Kurt nodded slightly and turned to continues his tour. A few minutes later he stopped, turning round angrily
"You're staring again!" he snapped.
"Ooops, di'n' realise, sorry chere." Remy said with an innocent half grin that could have charmed a lion. The light hearted expression and way of speaking was concealing a much darker battle inside, the pain and hurt from his time with Pietro, which had consumed him before, was now being breached slowly by the acceptance he received here. The professor, who had been keeping a mental eye on him, smiled to himself, if Remy continued to make friends here, maybe he could start to heal the hurt caused by Pietro.
Once he had been shown to his room, Kurt asked if he wanted anything else, and Remy had said no, so Kurt had left. Remy was regretting that now, he was alone here, maybe they didn't accept him as much. Just as this thought popped into his head, Jean appeared at the door.
"Hi! I've finished training so I thought I'd come say hello and see how you're settling, Kurt would have stayed longer but he had to go train now, we're all doing one-on-one with Logan today." She said, sitting down on the chair opposite the bed, where Remy was sat.
"How you feeling?" she asks.
"Better." He says with a slight smile "T'ank y'Jean, y'saved my life."
She blushes and smiles "Well you can repay me by staying here with us. Sure we have to do training and there's occasional fights with the brotherhood, but we're like a family, we all support each other and this is a pretty good place to live."
"Who're de brotherhood?" Remy asks, curious.
"They're like the bad guys.it includes Quicksilver."
"Den Remy will gladly join de fight." He said, his voice angry.
She nods slightly "The professor asks one thing, of everybody, we don't have time for revenge. If you want your revenge on Pietro you take it on the battlefield, don't go off on your own to sort out vendettas, and don't be so consumed with the thought of revenge that you forget there's other people on your team, can you do all that?"
"Oui, Remy can do dat, Pietro will only wanna see dat he's got t'Remy again anyway, it'll annoy him more t'see me not affected." He smiled at her; he'd become surprisingly adept with mental barriers in such a short time once Scott had explained them to him. He said those things because he knew that would be what she wanted to hear, but if they got into a fight with the brotherhood, the only thing on Remy's mind would be killing Pietro.
Jean smiles "Then welcome to the X-men. I have to go, it's my turn to help Storm prepare dinner, but you're welcome to wander round the mansion, you'll find someone to talk to, there always is, you're never alone in this house." She smiles again and walks out.
After a while, Remy leaves too, closing the bedroom door behind him; he wandered aimlessly along the corridors for a while, then bumped into Kurt as he turned a corner. He smiled, opening his mouth to say something. Then he noticed, to his surprise, that the younger boy was blushing furiously, he mumbled an excuse and bamfed away. It was the first time Remy had seen his power and he would have been impressed if it wasn't for how close Kurt had been to him, he waved away the smoke and wrinkled his nose at the smell. Confused, he wondered about the blush, must have been him staring at Kurt's tail earlier. He sighed and headed towards the kitchen to see if he could help Jean and Storm make dinner.
Kurt appeared back in his room still red-faced. Flopping down onto the bed he sighed, wondering what to do, there was no way that Remy liked him, he probably wasn't even into guys, but there was something about the older mutant that set Kurt's heart beating wildly every time he was near. He laughed slightly, remembering something he used to say; "chicks dig the fuzzy dude." He sat up and sighed, muttering "Yea, chicks dig the fuzzy dude, but the fuzzy dude doesn't dig chicks." he laughed again and jumped off the bed, his mind drifting back to when he was giving Remy the tour, and the other boy had kept staring at his tail. Was Remy just weirded out that Kurt had a tail? Or was he genuinely fascinated by it, did he really *like* the tail? Shrugging slightly to himself, he bamfed downstairs to see how long dinner would be, and to grab a snack of course, he was a growing boy who needed his food, ok, so he wasn't actually a growing boy, how about a bamfing boy? He was one after all. He grinned to himself when he appeared in the kitchen after thinking this and took a deep breath "Mmmm, smells good Storm!"
Storm smiled "You can thank Remy, he added the spices."
"Remy be Cajun, from de land of spice." He grinned and tasted what he was cooking. "Perfect."
Kurt sat next to Jean at the kitchen table.
"I was supposed to be helping cooking, but then Remy came down and just joined in without a word, he knew exactly what he was doing so me and Storm just let him get on with it." She laughed.
Remy turned round and grinned broadly "Dinner's ready mon amis."
