Rads: I have beginnings of stories, loads of AU plot bunnies (free range variety) and little one-shots dotted all over my files- i can safely say that i was a little stunned that i'd left one that was reasonably 'there' to fester.
This was one of my first fics and was orginally meant to be a challenge one to Internutters Cookie Jar challenge.... but it softa went off tracks.
A romance/drama/angst/humour jumble. Enjoy!! ( also Kurtty)

Chapter 1: Peace, Quiet and Kurt
It had finally reached the holidays; some of the kids would have claimed that it had taken forever for them to come. It was really just typical that during the end of term exams the weather had involved a glorious sunshine, blue skies where as now it was the holiday it involved plain rain and greyness, clouds. It still didn't dampen anyone's spirits at the Xavier Institute- some of the kids had plans made in advance to make good use of the long awaited holidays, others did not. Most of the excited teenager had gone home to be with fussing relatives and irritating siblings, a few stayed behind.
One of the most popular reasons for Kitty Pride staying at the institute was the peace and quiet. It would just be great to enjoy the silence in the air, perhaps do some extra studying and if she was feeling a particular good mood she thought that she might even get around to some danger room training.
Whilst Kitty Pride stayed for the bliss that was peace- Kurt Wagner stayed for Kitty Pride.
Since day one Kurt had had a crush on Kitty, she was just so pretty and smart, but as Kurt gazed out of his window with an almost mournful stare at the clouded sky- he thought about how she was always startled by him or he made her nervous or something- he always did something wrong!
He'd originally intended to go home but his adopted mother had come down with a particular nasty cold and so she'd insisted the Kurt should just stay with his friends instead of spending the holidays fussing over her. This had made Kurt worry even more but she'd phoned and sounded a lot better and even announced that they'd visit him near the end of the holidays with a surprise.
Kurt loved surprises, which was a shame he thought, since Kitty didn't and he was always looking to find something in common with her.
She sat in the kitchen and poured over a seemingly interesting book; to her knowledge most of the kids had left this morning, which was fine with her. She knew that Rogue was still around due to the fact that they shared the same room and Rogue was still asleep even though it was noon. Kitty wondered how someone could sleep for so long as she absolutely disgusted looked at the time.
Kurt sat on his windowsill, tail hanging limply a few centimetres from the floor.
'Scott's went to visit his brother. Evan and Ororo went to visit Evans parents- no doubt they'd get a progress report from Ororo much to Evans annoyance. Logan's gone of somewhere again- noting the absent motorcycle. Bobby was probably around' Kurt mused at what kind of trouble they'd get into this holiday. 'He's probably already got something up his sleeve' Kurt nearly smiled, ' Rayne and Rogue were definitely still around- Rogue had no where to go and the Scottish girl had vaguely mentioned her lack of plans two breakfasts ago' but the others had left this morning and Kurt hadn't bothered to ask them where they were going.
That left Kitty. He was sure she was gone and he felt terrible that he though it but 'but at least I don't need to worry about teleporting or putting mein holo-watch on now'.
Almost regretfully he dragged himself of the windowsill and his thoughts were drawn to food!
BAMF
Kitty was revelling sitting at the empty table in the non-crowded kitchen, no fighting for food, as she with deliberate slowness ate her healthy salad. She actually loved living at the Institute and she (most of the times) liked the company of the others but today was one of her lazy days and with no one around to annoy her she was going to en….
BAMF
"Ahhhh!!!"
Kurt ported in on top of the table and seemed a little more taken back with Kitty's presence than the scream. His cheeked suddenly burned a purplish colour, his version of a blush as he relised with some shock that he'd absently misfired- he'd meant to land next to the table- not on top! At least Mr Logan wasn't around to see the mistake.
"Ehh, sorry Kitty!" he leapt off the table gracefully, "minor technical difficulties!". He plodded of to the fridge, "must have been your animal magnetism- just drew me in" he joked/flirted.
"Sure Kurt", Kitty smiled back a little. She was sure that he'd gone home but oddly enough she felt glad he was staying back for the holidays but she had to check, "You not going home for the holidays?"
"And leave a beautiful lady alone… No way!" Kurt grinning, his hands, arms and tail loaded with food, "especially with Bobby around!".
"You're just as bad as Bobby when it comes to pranks Kurt!" Kitty automatically protested.
"Ahh but my young friend has not yet learned the art of 'Choosing the right Target'", Kurt sagely spoke.
Kitty rolled her eyes and looked down at all the food that Kurt had just dropped on the table, she visibly paled. Kurt eating habits made her unconsciously pull her salad closer in a protective way.
She looked back at Kurt but he had his back to her as he proceeded to raid the cupboards.
Kurt's eyes darted down to his holo-watch 'maybe I should just flick it on and say I that I'm going out after lunch…or something'. He hated the idea that his appearance scared her, she screamed earlier- after he'd got over the shock of her being there, he'd realised- he'd made her scream…again!
"Idiot!" his mind screamed. Sure he'd not made her scream in a long while but that was no excuse whatsoever!
"You ok Kurt?" her voice sounded concerned as she'd appeared behind him and put a hand on his shoulder with a little squeeze.
"Yeah!" Kurt flashed a deceiving grin, "Sorry- did you say something?" he realised that she'd probably spoken whilst he was wallowing in self pity- argh!
"Yip I was wondering if I could have a cooking lesson after lunch? I was thinking we could make some cookies" she beamed in an innocent child way, Kurt couldn't resist but still…
"I'm a little busy"
Kitty looked a little put out and twirled some of her hair round her finger. This was manipulation in one of its most pathetic ways, "pleaseeee Kurt! I'm no good at making anything, please?"
If he wasn't such a gentlemen/softy he could have said tomorrow instead, "How about after dinner?"
She nodded, grabbed her bowl of salad and skipped out of the kitchen.
Kurt distractedly turned his attention to his food, sat down and started to refill his energy supplies… unknowing that Kitty had peeked her head back round the door and looked incredibly worried, 'what's bothering you elf?" she thought more to herself than him but still willed him to give her an answer.
