Chapter 11
Kitty and Pietro walked in relative silence, both looking at anything but eachother. Finally Pietro couldn't stand it anymore.
"So uh, what are you going to do when you get back?" he asked evenly. Kitty smiled at him.
"Like, I dunno, I haven't really thought about it," she said thinking it over, "Probably just go back to my normal routine, nothing will have changed." Pietro grinned.
"What are you going to do?" Kitty asked. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Same as you probably," he responded simply. She nodded and they went back to the same aggravating silence. Pietro couldn't stop himself from thinking how gorgeous Kitty was. He wondered why he had never noticed it before. She was always 'X-geek' or 'Valley girl Pryde.' He'd never taken a real look at her before. Usually the only girls he looked at were cheerleaders.
Kitty found herself thinking about Pietro more and more frequently. It seemed he was always on her mind, ever since that night when they had kissed. She remembered it so vividly and it always made her smile. Pietro was so handsome. She had always known that but he was even cuter when he was being sweet like he was now. But she knew when they got back to school everything would change. Her smile faded and the tears were dangerously close to spilling. But why did she care? It wasn't like she liked him, right? Right. Kitty suddenly stopped as a loud clap of thunder shook the ground. Pietro's eyes widened and he took Kitty's hand.
"Come on, we need to find shelter," he said as little droplets of water fell from the sky.
****
After searching through the pounding rain for about twenty minutes they found a small cave where they could take shelter. They entered it and Pietro sat down on a boulder and dug through his water proof bag. He slowly withdrew a jacket and Kitty's eyebrows drew together angrily.
"What DIDN'T you guys bring that was against the rules?" she asked, her bottom lip pursed. Pietro grinned and walked behind her, placing the coat around her shoulders. She smiled at the new warmth.
~~I never knew he could be such a gentleman~~
Pietro cautiously put both arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Her smile widened and she leaned back into him. Despite the coat Kitty shivered.
"Cold?" Pietro asked and without a reply he suddenly ran out of the cave as fast as normal would permit.
Five minutes later he ran back in, a bundle of logs in his arms. Kitty giggled. His bangs were mopped against his forehead and his blue eyes were sparkling, his smile amused. He looked very cute. He dropped the logs on the cave floor and knelt to down to start the fire.
A clap of thunder boomed loudly and Kitty jumped. Pietro chuckled and sat down on the cave floor, bracing his back against the wall. Kitty sat next to him basking in the warm glow of the fire. Pietro was staring at her fondly until she opened her eyes and he turned his head, pretending to be looking at something on the wall.
Kitty looked at Pietro and soaked in his features. He was the cutest boy she had ever seen and once she got to know him the sweetest. But was it all an act? She wasn't sure.
He turned his head back to her and she blushed, turning the other way. Pietro smirked and put his arm around her, drawing her closer to him. She smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder. Pietro enjoyed this and he leaned his head on hers.
Kitty had never felt so happy. But what would the X-men think? Surely they had noticed she was gone by now! But what if they didn't notice or they did but didn't care? Kitty erased the thoughts from her head. All she needed to concentrate on was getting back to either the X-men or the Brotherhood. Either one didn't matter, but preferably the X-men.
Pietro smiled as he watched the beautiful brunette. The glow of the fire seemed to make the raindrops on her sparkle. She was gorgeous, smart nice, what else could you ask for? She was perfect. His eyelids began to droop and slowly he fell asleep. . . .
*NEXT MORNING*
Pietro woke up but didn't dare open his eyes. He was tired and didn't want to wake up. Until he sensed that something was wrong. His eyes flew open and he stood up, looking frantically around the cave. Where was she!?
~~Don't panic Maximoff she's probably on another walk! ~~ He thought logically.
~~ I hope. . . .~~
