White-Out
After about 5 minutes of staring at the window, Pietro forced himself to look away. "Wait a minute. Where the hell did Mr. Caruana go?" He said he'd be right back!"
Before Kitty could reply, Pietro raced out of the room. He returned in 2.5 seconds. "There's no one here! We're the only ones in the freakin' school! What is Caruana's problem?!? He just leaves without telling us?!?"
Kitty looked panicked. "WHAT?!?!" The thought of being stuck here with Pietro and only Pietro scared the crap out of her. "A-Are the doors locked?" she asked nervously.
Pietro smirked at her. "Perks of being a mutant Pryde. You can phase. Duh."
Kitty felt very stupid for not thinking of that before she panicked, but she managed to glare coldly at Pietro. "Fine," she snapped. "Let's go." Grabbing his arm, she phased them both down to the first floor and out through the locked doors. As soon as they got outside, however, two things became quite apparent. 1: It was literally freezing outside. 2: They couldn't see a thing. Not each other, and certainly not the road.
"Oh yeah, great idea Pietro!" Kitty yelled sarcastically. "Let's just phase into a white-out and wander around till we freeze to death!" When she received no reply, Kitty began to get a little worried. Had he run off and left her here? "Pietro?" Snow swirled all around her, enveloping her completely. "Pietro?!? PIETRO!?!?" she screamed urgently.
Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up by a pair of very strong arms. "It's okay Kitty, I'm right here," said Pietro softly. His voice was very close to her ear. Kitty was glad that he couldn't see her blush. His breath was warm on the side of her face, and it sent shivers down her spine.
"Okay," said Pietro. We're right in front of the school. Reach out and phase us back in." Kitty did, and soon they were standing in the front hall.
"Phew," she said, trying to relax. "That was crazy. I-I guess were stuck here until the storm passes." She glanced at Pietro. He was staring at her intently. "Um Pietro? You-you can put me down now."
He set her down gently, and with such reluctance, that Kitty blushed tomato red. "W-Well," she stammered. "What should we do now?"
He seemed to snap out of his reverie. "There's nothing we can do, really. Just something to pass the time I guess."
"Yeah," said Kitty.
They ended up in the gym, stretched out on a pile of mats. Kitty was mentally telling herself to relax. Pietro seemed to be staring at her, and it was making her very uncomfortable. He wasn't saying anything either.
Pietro on the other hand, was quite comfortable. He had stayed in worse places than the school gym. And he had never had a girl like Kitty with him those times. But he was getting sick of hiding his feelings for her. Not only was it becoming increasingly difficult, but he had never been one who was scared to say what was on his mind. Besides, this stranded thing would be a whole lot more enjoyable if they stopped arguing and started-"
"Hey!" said Kitty, interrupting Pietro's thoughts. "Look! The karyoke machine is still here from the last dance!" She was desperate to get away from Pietro and his penetrating gaze. Jumping up, she ran across the gym.
Pietro frowned. She was trying to avoid talking with him. He could see right through her little karyoke scheme. Still, he might be able to use it to his advantage. Putting on his trademark smirk, he strolled over to her. "Why don't you sing something?"
Kitty was visibly relieved. Pietro was acting like his usual self again. "Okay. But you can't laugh. Promise?"
"Yeah yeah yeah. Start already!"
Kitty slipped a CD into the machine. Bubbly pop music began to blare out of the speakers.
Upside down.upside down.upside down
My grades are down from A's to D's
I lost myself in fantasies
Of you and me together
I don't know why - but dreaming's all I do
I won't get by - on mere imagination
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you..to you
My teacher says to concentrate
So what - his name was Peter the Great
The kings and queens will have to wait
Cuz I don't have forever
I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
Each time I try - the same old hesitation
Somehow someday
You will love me too
One day will be the day when all my dreams come true
Upside down.
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
She finished and looked up at him with a small smile.
He raised an eyebrow. "Why Pryde, was that for me? I had no idea you felt that way!"
She rolled her eyes. "Ha ha Pietro. Very funny. It was the only song they had that I knew the lyrics to."
"Sure sure," Pietro joked. "Try to hide it. But I know the truth now Pryde. You want me. You want me bad."
Kitty fought to keep a blush from rising up on her cheeks. "Why do you always call me 'Pryde'?" she asked, changing the subject.
Pietro looked up, surprised. "I don't know," he said slowly. "Habit, I suppose."
Kitty felt a rush of wind and suddenly Pietro's face was a mere inch away from hers. "Kitty," he said huskily. She swallowed hard. He said her name like it was a caress.
"Pietro, what are you doing?"
He took a deep breath. It was now or never. "Something I should have done a long time ago."
Kitty's heart filled with fear and an agonizing anticipation at the same time. Could this possibly be it? The moment she had waited for her entire life? She dared not hope, and yet she had to ask.
"W-What should you have done a long time ago?" She could not tear her eyes away from his. Their gazes were locked on each other. His eyes shone fierce with emotion, while hers shone with wonder and hope. (A/N: Which, after all, springs eternal. Love that quote.)
"This." Pietro leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.
Time stopped. Everything else ceased to exist. It was only Kitty and Pietro, and the love that they had for each other.
For Kitty, it was the sweetest, most perfect feeling ever. She had never experienced anything like this before. She had never felt so special.
Pietro paused and leaned back a little to look at her. Kitty was positively glowing. He suddenly felt a little unsure. "What are we doing here?" he asked carefully.
Kitty cocked an eyebrow at him. "We're doing what was meant to be. What feels right."
That was the best possible answer she could have given him. Grinning, he leaned in again. This time the kiss was deeper, more confident. Kitty wrapped her arms around Pietro's neck, and he placed his hands around her waist. She could feel the heat, the passion his body was emitting wash over her. A hundred different emotions were swirling around inside of her.
She leaned against the wall, enjoying the feeling of drowning in Pietro's kisses. She couldn't remember a time when she'd been this happy. She'd finally found him. The one. The perfect boy for her. After all that searching, she'd finally found him. Getting stranded with Pietro at school in the middle of a white out was fate's doing. And yet, she wouldn't have had it any other way. There was something romantic about being safe and warm in Pietro's arms while the snow swirled furiously around them.

Merci Beaucoup to all my reviewers. Especially, Beaubier. To steal Lance's catch phrase, you guys rock my world.
I should really be studying for my Chemistry test tomorrow. lol. Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll have a snow day here tomorrow. Knowing my luck, that just won't happen. Damn weather!
Hope everyone enjoyed it. Till next time,
