"The Morning View and the Love Bunny- Part One"

***Warning: Full o' lovin'. If that sort of thing disturbs you, please don't read. ***

[Kurt and Storm]

Kurt Wagner inhaled deeply. He had always loved the way morning smelt. Whether it was in his homeland of Germany, or his new home in Westchester, New York, morning always smelt amazing. The wonderful morning scent was even better when sniffed from Ororo's windowsill.

Kurt was deliriously happy. Things could not have been better for the blue, tailed mutant. His Sturmliebe was really acting like a mother as of late. She was always talking about the kids and planning family outings. It would seem that she was more that warming up to the twins, Static especially.

Kurt on the other hand had come quite partial to Vashoba. He was teaching her to fence. Something that apparently he had never gotten the chance to teach the girl when she was younger. She was so excited when he first let her hold the foil and he was just so excited by the whole situation. Kurt loved being a dad.

And they were so beautiful, his children. Vashoba a radiate beauty just like her mother, but still very different in so many ways. Kurt compared his daughter to her mother. Vash's lovely golden skin in comparison to Ororo's ebony and her long charcoal locks verses Storm's ivory tresses. They both were so very lovely. And then there was Isaac, his son, he was a sweet boy but quite a know it all.

"Wonder where he gets that from?" Kurt muttered.

Kurt also realized that he was glad that his children had not been born with blue skin and spade tipped tails. Though they had inherited some of his less obvious mutations, he was relieved that they had not been subject to the abuse he had suffered. He did feel bad for having these thoughts. He had always been the one that had encouraged the more NOTICEABLE mutants at the school that they were not to be ashamed of their appearance and that they were beautiful inside and out. Yet here he was grateful that his children looked somewhat NORMAL.

The former circus boy shook those thoughts away. This was no time to dwell on such things. In the beginning he and Storm had questioned many things about the children's inherited traits and upbringing for that matter, Storm had later reassured him that the Goddess had a reason for everything and they were not the ones to question it. Despite the couple's very different beliefs, even he couldn't argue with that.

"But my children were raised by a wolverine." Kurt thought with a smile.

Herr Wagner heard his lover stir.

"God, she is beautiful" he thought. "Wrapped in nothing but a sheet. Ah, it is a lovely morning."

Ororo Munroe smiled broadly at the sight of her ruffle-haired boyfriend. She had convinced him to stay the night again, which hadn't been as difficult as of late.

"Guten Morgen, mien liebe." Kurt beamed.

"Happy Valentine's Day, dear." Storm replied.

"Ah, ja, it is St. Valentine's." the German grinned.

The teleporter left his perch at the window and lay next to his lover in the bed. He ran his three fingered hand her through sleep tussled hair.

"So, Sturmliebe, are you free today?" Kurt asked while suggestively wangling his eyebrows.

Ororo's head rolled back as she erupted in laughter. Kurt loved her deep husky laugh as well as her long neck; in fact, he loved many other parts of her body.

"Kurt you know I can never resist you when you do that." She purred as she threw aside the bed sheets that had barely covered her in the first place.

Storm could hear the beginnings of a low growl in Kurt's throat. The ebony skinned goddess got on all four and stalked toward her bedmate.

"I've been thinking," She began.

"Ja?" Kurt force out. Funny how constricted his throat was feeling all of a sudden.

"Maybe we should get married."

With that Kurt hit the floor and Storm peeped over the side of the bed at her lover.

"Kurt?" she smiled. "Are you alright?"

[Static and Jubilation]

Static awoke feeling a little warmer that usual. It took him a while to remember just what had happened the night before. He and Jubilee had snuck out to the boathouse last night for some privacy. And the reason he was feeling so warm was because the small Asian girl was currently wrapped around him like a barnacle. He smiled to himself at the sight of the girl. Jubilee had most definitely been one of the greatest parts of his impromptu trip through time, aside from his parents. She was fun, crazy, brilliant, and extremely affectionate; all things that Static loved in a woman. Jubilee groaned sleepily before finally opening her eyes. She was greeted by a pair of electric blue eyes.

"Morning, honey." She purred. "What time is it?"

"Well," Static drawled. "It's morning. Other then that I'm not real sure."

Jubilee chuckled. "Well, then, Happy Valentine's, my precious."

The two of them struggled upright, the couch no longer felt as comfortable as it had seemed last night. Jubilee glanced at her watch, the only thing that she had managed to keep on last night.

"Shit!" she chirped.

Static watched in silent amusement as his completely nude girlfriend fumbled around the room for her clothes.

"What's wrong?" he finally asked.

"I was supposed to meet Rogue in the danger room twenty minutes ago!"

"You guys schedule work outs on Valentine's Day?" he asked.

"Have ta look good for our men don't we?" she replied.

After finally getting somewhat presentable, the Chinese girl sprung over to her new lover and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Sorry ta love ya an' leave ya," she smirked. "But-"

"Sure." Static interrupted. "It's cool. 'Sides it makes me feel all dirty and sexy."

"Anytime," Jubilee added as she headed for the door. "I've got something for ya later, okay."

"Until then, me lady."

Static watched Jubes shoot across the mansion's absurdly huge lawn and sighed deeply, the lights flickered. He was most definitely in love with the girl. And last night had been perfect. He hadn't expected anything to happen really, short of some heavy kissing and wondering hands, but Jubilation "Sex Kitten" Lee had had other plans. She had been hell bent on deflowering her pure virginal boyfriend and used every trick up her sleeve to get the job done. She had always said that he should loosen up, now he was as loose as a goose, cool as a- anyway. Static sighed at the thought of it all, the lights flickered. He pulled his t-shirt back on. Today was his first real Valentine's Day and he had to make it special for his lover. Unfortunately, for the wild haired electrokinetic, he hadn't the foggiest idea how. With the mansion's resident Cajun Casanova out of commission for lord knows how long, he would have to turn to someone else for advice, but who?

Static exhaled loudly, the lights flickered. He headed out of the door, shoes in hand. Maybe this solution could only be solved by the Council.

[Kurt and Storm]

Kurt's grin nearly split his face in half. He couldn't believe it. Could this day possibly get any better? Had his beloved Sturmliebe really just proposed marriage?

"I was just thinking," Storm continued. "We've been together almost two years, Kurt, and I love you so much. Besides, we do have children now."

Storm rewrapped herself in the bed sheet and joined her Kurtie Pooh on the floor. She smiled when she looked into those wide yellow eyes. Kurt's mouth opened and closed as he pondered what to say next.

"It's okay, Kurt." Storm sighed. "You don't have to say anything. It's just something I've been thinking about."

"Nien! Nien!" Kurt finally spoke. "It's just- I'm just a little surprised. This was not how I expected it to happen at all."

"Wha-" but before Storm could respond her boyfriend put a finger to her mouth.

"Wait." Kurt smiled. "Just wait here."

Bamf.

Storm coughed after inhaling the grayish purple haze left behind. She climbed back onto the edge of the bed and waited patiently, just as her boyfriend had asked. Seconds later, the teleporter reappeared right in front of her, with one of his hands tucked closely behind his back. The weather witch raised an elegant brow.

"What are you hiding there, Kurt." She said with a beaming smile.

"Hush, me lady." Kurt grinned. "I have been waiting to do this for a while now."

[Jono and Vash/Paige]

*Yer know, yer really should get ta know yer new roommate, love.* Jono projected after exiting the bathroom. *She can't be all that bad.*

Vash looked up at her damp friend while tying her boot strings.

"You think that's why I don't sleep in my room any more?" She asked.

*'onestly, I really don't know but, it could definitely be a possibility.*

"Wanda seems cool." Vash replied. "She just talks in her sleep is all."

Jono laughed. *Well, so do I but, that doesn't keep yer from bunkin' wit me, ducks.*

Vash smiled at the sound of Jono's cackling laugh echoing in her head.

"Well your dreams aren't so traumatic." She responded.

*Wot do yer mean by that?* Chamber's psi-voice chirped.

"Nevermind." Vash said as she pulled on her jacket. "It's Valentine's Day, Jono; maybe ya should do something with Paige today."

*Ugh!* Jono groaned. *Don't remind me!*

Vash raised an elegant eyebrow.

"Trouble in paradise, Jonothon?"

*No. But I hate Valentine's!* Jono's eyes crinkled.

Vash identified this response as a grimace. She was getting pretty good at deciphering the many faces of Jono. The boy had been blessed with very expressive eyes.

"What's wrong with a little assorted chocolate and few love poems?" Vash asked.

*I don't know.* Jono groaned. *The whole thing just seems so fake. It's just an excuse for spending money on horribly pink things.* He cringed his nose in distaste.

Vash loved Jono's long pointy nose.

"The antithesis of everything you stand for, huh, Starsmore?" Vash giggled. "Get over yourself, Chamber! You're dating a horribly pink thing!"

Jono's eyes crinkled. "Now that was most definitely a smile." Vash thought to herself.

The telepath shook his head in defeat.

*As always yer right, love.* Jono admitted.

"Well, I'm going to go up topside." The raven haired teleporter said. "And remember, Jono, today is a day of love." She kissed his aristocratic nose goodbye.

Jono rolled his eyes and Vash disappeared with a-

Bamf.

Vash reappeared right outside of the basement door, scaring one Paige Guthrie half to death. The Kentucky girl chocked on the acrid yellow smoke.

"Sorry, Guthrie." Vash apologized.

Paige's sky blue eyes narrowed into thin slits, before widening again. She forced a large slightly manic smile across her pink lips and tilted her head to the left slightly.

"Is Jonothon down there?" Paige asked, her southern drawl dripping with sour honey.

"Yeah." Vash answered, as her eyes lowered to find what Paige had clutched to her chest.

Vash chuckled softly. "Yeah, Guthrie, Jono's down there."

"Good." The blonde replied happily.

Vash stepped aside and let the farm girl pass.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Guthrie!" Vash called down to Paige before heading down the hall.

Paige mumbled to herself as she plotted down the stairs.

"Why was she always down here anyway?" Paige thought. "Jono never asked me to stay over.

"Fucking whore!" She muttered aloud.

*'ello, Sunshine.* Jono projected from behind his door.

"I'll never got used ta that." Paige thought.

She recreated her bright smile and opened the door.

"Happy Valentine's Day, baby!" She chirped, thrusting her arms forward.

The pale boy's eyes widened.

"It's for you, Jonothon." Paige beamed.

Jono tentatively reached for the offending object. It was a fuzzy hot pink bunny with 'I Love You' stitched onto its belly. Jono imagined the sight of his pale black leather clad image clutching a hot pink bunny was laughable to say the least.

*Thanks, love.* Jono croaked.

"I thought you'd like it." The farm girl said.

Paige grabbed her boyfriend's arm.

"Now what do ya have planned for today, baby?" she asked.

She could hear Chamber's telepathic stammer.

*I- I 'aven't really thought 'bout it 'onestly.*

Paige gave a disappointed sigh.

"Well, I have some ideas." She offered, looking at the Goth seductively.

Starsmore raised an inquisitive brow.

[Jamie and Rahne]

Jamie Madrox waited patiently in the kitchen. He had seen many of his friends and fellow classmates come and go but he had yet to see the one he had been waiting for. The small boy's face lit up when the girl of his dreams entered the room.

"Rahne!" He erupted, springing up from his seat.

"Hiyah, Jamie." Rahne replied, a bit surprised. "Yer been waitin' in her ta ambush me or somethin'?"

Jamie reveled in the redheaded girl's Scottish brogue, but then he remembered-

"Oh!" Jamie cried. "This is for you."

Jamie outstretched his arms, raising a pink envelope in front of Wolfsbane's face. The wolf girl's green eyes sparkled.

"Fer me?" she chirped. "I never woulda've guessed it."

The small girl ripped into the envelope with animalistic ferocity. A huge feral grin spread across her face when she extracted her prize. It was a card with a big red heart on the front. It was a crude rendition but sweet nonetheless. It read 'Happy Valentine's Day!'.

"Open it! Open it!" Jamie crowed.

Rahne complied. She was greeted with the sweetest massage.

Roses are Red-

Violets are Blue-

Will U be mine?-

I really like U.

"Aww, Jamie." Rahne sniffed. "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever given me."

Rahne embarrassed the boy roughly. Jamie whispered in her ear.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Rahne?"

"Of course I will, silly." She answered.

From the doorway the new couple could hear applause. They turned to find Isaac Wagner standing there pretending to wipe his eyes.

"That was beautiful, Jamie." Static joked. "You pimp, you."

"Bugger off, Static!" Wolfsbane barked.

"Sure," Static replied. "Oh, and Jamie meeting in my room in ten; super secret Council stuff." The black haired boy departed with a wink.

[Kurt and Storm]

Kurt kneeled before his lover, left hand still hidden behind him.

"My Sturmliebe," he began. "You have made these last two years wunderful. I have never been so happy and I hope I have made you happy too."

Storm nodded happily, her eyes tearing up.

"I was wundering if you would do me the honor of being my wife?" Kurt concluded his marriage proposal by revealing the engagement ring that had been hidden behind his back. He stared into the goddess's eyes expectantly.

Storm smiled brightly and accepted the ring.

"Oh, Kurt." She gasped. "It's beautiful.

Storm nearly burst into tears. It could not have been more perfect if she'd planned it herself.

"Of course, I'll marry you, Kurt!" she said as she leapt into the German's arms.

[Vash and Ray?]

Vashoba stared blankly at her bed. On it was some dozen roses, a big red heart full of chocolates and a teddy bear.

"Uh, Maximoff?" the charcoal haired girl sputtered.

Wanda looked up from her book.

"That weird blonde guy brought that stuff in here." The scarlet clad Goth said before replacing her headphones.

"Wanda!" Vash screamed to be heard.

When that failed, she walked over to her roommate's bed and removed her head phones.

"Wanda!" she repeated. "What weird blonde boy?"

"I don't remember his name." Wanda groaned.

Vash picked up the card that was attached to the chocolates. It read-

When I think of you-

Sparks start to fly!-

When I think of you-

My, My, My!-

When I think of you-

My heart starts to thump!-

When I think of you-

Bump, Bump, Bump!-

Will you be my Valentine?

-Berzerker

PS: Let's Bamf! Somewhere together tonite.

Vash's jaw dropped and Wanda sprang up to grab the card before Vash hit the bed.

"What does it say?!" the Scarlet Witch screamed as she proceeded to read the card.

"Ray?" was all Vash could say as she dropped to her bed and examined the roses. "Where did he get the money for these?"

"Does it matter?" Wanda scoffed.
