Kitty forced her eyes open and adjusted them to the bright lights around her. She stared groggily at the unfamiliar surroundings but saw Pietro at the side of her bed, his head plopped down due to a deep sleep.
Kitty smiled weakly and she slowly but painfully glided her hand across the bed and over to him. She lightly touched his cheek with her index finger and he bolted up immediately.
"Hey sleepy head."
"Kitty... how are you feeling? You okay?"
She scoffed, "even my fingernails hurt." Kitty closed her eyes to blink back the tears of pain, a single tear slid down her cheek. "Where am I?"
"At the Xavier Institute. Kurt thought it was a good idea to bring you here instead of a hospital. He's crazy about you Kitty and I can't blame him." He took her hand and laced his fingers in with hers. "I was so worried about you - I thought I'd lost you." His voice cracked slightly.
"I'm still here. You can't get rid of me that easily." She squeezed his hand in reassurance.
He stood up and brought his face closer to hers. He looked deeply into her eyes and saw her fright, her pain, how alone she felt. "Kitty I love you so much." He kissed her slowly.
Kitty was drawn into his kiss until she felt something cool drip onto her cheek. She drew back a bit and saw that Pietro's eyes were damp. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry Kit. If I had been there this would never have happened." He lowered his head a bit.
"It's alright Pietro - it's not your fault. I should have waited for you or at least took a cab home." She chuckled.
"Kitty this isn't funny! I didn't have any idea where you were and that scared the hell out of me. I searched for hours; I thought I'd never see you again..." his hand still woven tightly to hers. "I never thought of myself as being weak, having any fears, having any doubts as to what my life would be like - until I met you Kitty. You're my weakness, you fill my head with so many doubts, I can't imagine my life without you..." he closed his eyes.
Kitty smiled at him and despite the intense pain propped herself up a little. She moved her free hand over his cheek and drew him closer to her. She whispered softly to him...
"I love you Pietro and I always will." She kissed him again - this time with a deeper passion than before.
Kurt stood outside the half opened recovery room door, his back to the wall, listening - his heart wrenching with pain. So intense was his love for Kitty that he couldn't bear to see her with anyone else but him. He slammed a fist against the wall and cursed himself for not making his move sooner. Kitty could have been his, could have been with him instead of Pietro. *What can I do now? She is so blinded by her love for him I wouldn't even cast the smallest shadow.*
Dejectedly Kurt walked away.
The couple finally broke the kiss and smiled at each other. Kitty felt a faint blush creep her cheeks so she quickly asked...
"How long have I been here?"
"About a week."
"A week?"
"Well when your condition stabilized, Professor Xavier thought it would be best to keep you a little while longer for observation."
"So you've been in and out of here for a week?"
"Actually I stayed here for the entire week."
"Here at the institute?"
"Here in this room."
"Pietro are you crazy? You haven't been home in a week? What about your Dad? What about... my Dad? Oh crap!"
Just then the Professor wheeled in with Kurt following closely behind.
"It's alright Kitty. I talked to your father and explained everything." He cast his eyes over at Pietro.
Pietro raised a brow. "Kitty I'm gonna head on home and get cleaned up. I'll come back later."
"Promise?"
"I promise." He kissed her hand and walked slowly out the room. He saw Kurt throw a glance at him but he didn't even bother to respond.
The Professor smiled at Kitty... "how are you feeling?"
"Okay I guess but what did you say to my father?"
"As soon as Kurt and Pietro brought you in, I immediately contacted your father and alerted him of the situation. He came over the next day - with Kory - and I explained everything to him. He was very reasonable. He even came and visited you a couple of times."
"So... he wasn't angry? He doesn't think of me any differently?"
"Why should he Kitty? Afterall you are still his daughter and he loves you deeply - being a mutant shouldn't change that."
"I guess so." She smiled weakly.
"You look exhausted Kitty, you should get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow and we can finish up our discussion."
"Thank you Professor - for everything."
"You're welcome Kitty." He smiled at her.
The Professor wheeled out of the room. Kurt stood there for a while staring at her and then turned around to leave as well.
"Kurt please wait - I wanna talk to you."
