Hehehe, I've started writing a couple of other fics, and mentioned at the
beginning of writing them about writing other fics at the same time, but I
reckon I'll probably end up finishing this before that one, they're both
probably going to be one off.
Anyhoo, I called my gerbil Kurti for anyone who cares.
Remy: Ya di'n' name y'gerbil after me?
Starlight: I thought you didn't want me to??
Remy: *just mutters*
Starlight: oook, anyway folks, story time! Oh, yea, and just a point if you were wondering, Remy isn't an empath in this otherwise he'd know Kurt liked him.
Oh, and about the 'chere' I believe the masculine is apparently 'cher' but I can't be bothered to go back and change it all, so just pretend it's the other one, ok? Heh, I'm supposed to be taking French A-level next year, that's gonna be fun.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own nothing, well, I do own nothing, but anyway.

The next day, it seemed to Kurt that his fears were confirmed, Remy had suddenly turned cold. He was perfectly polite, but nothing more, everything he said was emotionless. He didn't notice that Remy was acting like that to everyone else as well, he was too busy thinking what an idiot he'd been. But was trying to hide the fact he was bothered, hiding his sadness like he always did.
Remy was now wondering whether Kurt really didn't care, or if it was yet another mask like he'd seen the few days before. He didn't want to get hurt again, but he didn't want to hurt Kurt. In the time he'd been here he'd found he had genuine affection for the 'fuzzy dude' and often found himself wondering what it'd be like to hold him, or what his lips would feel like for longer than the quick brush he'd received the day before.
Kurt found himself wondering much the same thing, but scolding himself for it, thinking he'd never find out. He kept catching Remy staring at him and it was annoying, would he just be nasty or nice! Remy just giving him the cold shoulder all the time, that he could deal with, but Remy giving him the cold shoulder some of the time and then staring at him with what seemed like want in those red-on-black eyes? He couldn't cope.
Both boys spent more and more time in their respective rooms, Remy because he was having a hard time staying cold to everyone, he was a naturally trusting person and, no matter what had happened in the past, he wanted to let people in. But fear of being used again held him back, and he hid away. Kurt stayed in his room because he was becoming increasingly afraid of facing Remy as his feelings for the older teen grew.
This continued for a few weeks, until eventually they were only venturing out of their rooms for meals, danger room sessions and school (in the case of Kurt, Remy hadn't been to school for too long to try and start again now, when he didn't have long left). The rest of the X-men were getting worried, when Remy had arrived he'd seemed friendly and outgoing, and Kurt was always bamfing around the mansion, playing jokes and having fun, but now both of them had become shy and withdrawn. What had happened between them? They guessed it must have been something that'd happened to the both of them, probably not separate incidents.
Everyone from Bobby to Beast approached the both of them to try and get them to talk about whatever was up, but neither did.
Jean started to get more frustrated too, becoming increasingly agitated and distant, when questioned she finally admitted the two had been projecting a lot, but wouldn't tell anyone what was up, saying it was the boys decision if they wanted people to know.
But eventually, she started to get ill, and very annoyed at the two of them, she could see they both wanted the same thing, but were both too scared of being rejected or used that they didn't want to admit it.
As her condition deteriorated and the boys stopped even speaking to anyone, the rest of the X-men went to the professor, insistent this should stop. The professor agreed, he had hoped they could sort this out themselves, but both were very stubborn and now Jean was being affected, this had to be stopped.
He took the two boys to an empty classroom, put a mental shield around it to stop Jean being affected, and told them they couldn't come out until they'd sorted it out.
Jean felt better almost immediately, and she joined the rest of the X- men in the common room where they were nervously awaiting the boys' return, still in the dark about exactly what was going on, since Jean and the professor still refused to elaborate.
In the room, the two teens didn't speak to each other for about half an hour, they just sat at opposite ends of the room and stared at each other, eventually it was Kurt who spoke.
"Look, about the kiss, I-" he began, but Remy interrupted him.
"F'get it chere, don' matter." He muttered, looking away.
Kurt's heart gave a leap; Remy had called him 'chere' again.
"No, I don't vant to forget it." Kurt said shyly, keeping his eyes on Remy.
He looks up "Yea, dat's what Pietro said, and look what happened wit' him."
Kurt stares at him "Vhat do you mean?"
"Y'mean y'di'n' get tol'? He used me, di'n' even tell me he was a mutan' too, jus' made me feel awful, but I kept goin' back t'him, until I couldn' take it anymore, was gonna cut my wrists but Jean stopped me."
Kurt continues to stare "And you thought I would use you too? Oh I'm so sorry! I vouldn't do that to anyone! That's one more reason for me to hate Pietro."
Remy shrugs it off "Yea, well, pretty much asked for it, Remy shoulda known from de beginnin'."
Kurt stands up and walks slowly towards him "It vasn't your fault Remy, you shouldn't have tried to punish yourself for something Pietro did, not everybody is like him you know."
Remy looked up at him, worry reflected in his eyes "But how do I know? How can I tell dey won' use me, how can I stop myself gettin' hurt?"
Kurt bit his lip thoughtfully "Vell.it's hard, you don't know if they tell the truth unless you're a telepath, so you just have to trust them."
"But I trust too much, dat's de problem."
"If you don't take any risks you'll never get anyvhere."
"Y'have a point I s'pose." he looks up at Kurt who's still chewing on his lip and smiles, the furry blue mutant looked so cute when he was nervous "I t'ink y'wort' de risk, chere."
Kurt grins suddenly and runs forward, throwing his arms around Remy's neck and kissing him, this time for a lot longer then the first.
The professor, who had been keeping a mental eye on the conversation just in case, smiled.
"They've sorted it out, I knew they could do it if given a little prompting." He took down the shields and rolled over to unlock the door.
The two of them stepped out of the room, a little nervously, unsure how the others would react to them, Remy had his hand round Kurt's waist, and Kurt had his tail curled round Remy's.
"The two of you are like sooo cute together!" Squealed Kitty when she saw them.
"Yea man, glad you could work it out." Congratulated Evan.
The other reactions were pretty similar, it was like Jean had said to Remy, they dealt with too much other odd stuff to be fazed by homosexuality, so everyone was just happy for the couple.
Interrupting the congratulations on them working it out, Storm came up to speak with the professor, they went into his study and came out about ten minutes later to face the rest of the X-men.
"Uniforms on everybody, the brotherhood are starting trouble, let's get down there and put a stop to it."

Ooooh, what d'ya think? Now Kurt and Remy have worked it out, it's time for Remy to face Pietro on the battlefield, shouldn't that be fun?
As this was originally intended to be a one off it will therefore not be very long, there'll only be one or two chapters more.
I'm about to start work on one of my longest stories to date, which is nice and long because we've been rping it and I'm just gonna type it up. But I think I'll have to finish the other stories I have in the making before I start that.
So review please! What do you think? Also, I think I'll have a bit of a poll, should anybody die? The choices are basically: Remy, Kurt, Pietro or Jean, or nobody obviously.
