((ok, I've gotten some questions about my title for this story. It may not
make sense now, but it will LATER. So calm down, I made it for a reason. So
if for some reason you don't like stories with 'stupid' titles, don't read
this. K? Good. Thankies for whoever reads, thou. I appreciate it. Oh. This
chapter will have some singing in it...Not my song. Three Days Grace's I Hate
Everything About You.))
Kurt was in his room, lying on his bed, but wide awake. It must be hours after midnight by now, and he just didn't seem to be able to get any sleep once again. Ever since he began to live in this place, he had felt welcomed...but nervous at the same time. Self-conscious, one might call it. He could feel the stares of the other students as he walked by each day. He could hear their whispers. One might think no one had ever seen a blue man with a devils tail before.
Kurt grinned wryly at himself and his foolish thoughts. He sat up slowly, allowing his unmoved joints to crack and loosen with as little pain as possible. It still hurt though. Well, if he wasn't going to fall asleep, he may as well go for a walk or something, to get some exercise.
Kurt stood up, stretching out his stiff back, and with a loud BAMF, he exited his room and reappeared on the roof. He sighed as he took a deep breath. It was warm out, and the air smelled...like spring. Just as Kurt was about to lean on the rail in front of him, his ears twitched, as he heard...singing?
"Every time we lie awake, After every hit we take, Every feeling that I get, But I haven't missed you yet..."
Kurt spun around and stared. Gabby was on the other side of the roof, staring straight up at the sky at the moon and its brightness. She wore the same outfit as before, but her wings were gone. One would have never guessed she was a mutant. Apparently, she hadn't noticed she was not alone.
"Every roommate kept awake, By every silent scream we make, All the feelings that I get, But I still don't miss you yet..."
Kurt stared at her back as she sung sadly at the orb hanging in the sky. It sounded as if her heart was or had been ripped apart.
"Only when I stop to think about it...I hate everything about you...why...do I love you...I hate everything about you...Why...do I love you?"
Gabby stopped singing and just stared at the sky before she broke down in silent sobs that racked her body. She shock violently as large tears dropped from her eyes to the railing.
"I hate...you hate...I hate...you love me...I hate everything about you...WHY DO I LOVE YOU..." Gabby sobbed some more, and just as quickly as she started, she just stopped. Kurt had the urge to go over to her, and put an arm around her shoulders, to tell her everything was alright. But he was afraid she'd be afraid, that she'd run away. Or worse, she might hate him for being there.
But unfortunately for Kurt, Gabby turned around. And saw him standing there, staring at her.
Surprised, Gabby stared at Kurt, her eyes wide, and her face smeared with tears.
After staring at each other for a while, Gabby spoke up softly. "How long have you been there...?"
"...Just a vhile..." Kurt stammered, getting ready to BAMF away, if Gabby's shock turned to fury.
"Oh..." Gabby wiped her face off with a cloth that appeared from a pocket and turned back around. "How embarrassing...wanna join me?"
Kurt stared at her back again, mouth wide open. No fury? No hatred? Not even fear? Even so, his feet carried him to the girl's side even when his mind was blank.
Gabby smiled up at him, a sort of joy flashing in her eyes, right next to the distress.
"Can't sleep, Kurt-san?" Gabby leaned on the rail again, the wind blowing her hair in her eyes.
"...Ja..." Kurt, uneasy, leaned on the metal bar as well. "Und...Kurt is fine. Nothing more is needed for me."
"Hmm? Oh...alright then, Kurt." Gabby pushed the invading hair behind her ears. "Neither could I. I'm so...excited to be here. And afraid at the same time."
Astonished, Kurt looked at her face carefully. She blinked once in confusion, but didn't say a word. "I...feel similar feelings...ja...is very strange..."
Gabby grinned widely. "Then we are the same, and different." She looked at the view bellow. "Isn't it beautiful?"
Kurt looked out at the land around them. "Ja. Is very nice."
"But the world would be even brighter if everyone just got along...ne?" Gabby sighed and put her head on her hands. "I wish humans could look at mutants as other humans. We're just like another race of people. There is no difference. We just have powers that they don't. But it's almost exactly like laughing or being afraid of someone with another finger or limb. We have something they don't. And it scares them. But I just don't understand..." she sighed heavily again and closed her eyes. "Sorry. I'm rambling."
Surprised at her outburst, Kurt just stood next to her, thinking. Finally, he replied, breaking the awkward silence..."Vhenever I shee someone vho is afraid, I feel pity. Pity that zhey cannot shee us for vho ve are. I...feel saddened."
Gabby stared at him again. Then she began to laugh. "Why are we so similar? We even think the same." Gabby placed a gentle hand on his arm. "You would be a good friend."
Kurt stiffened at the touch, but relaxed at her words. Friends. He would like that. Very much. Someone to talk to and have to understand was very rare now. "Of course."
Gabby grinned again, and this time Kurt had enough nerve to smile back. They stood next to each other for a long time, enjoying the silence, the night and each others company.
"Hey Kurt?"
"Ja, Fraeulein Gabby?"
Gabby glared at him mockingly. "JUST Gabby." She grinned again. "How'd you get up here? I thought the door to the roof was locked at night."
"Ah. It is. I...My power is teleportation." Kurt smiled and demonstrated. He BAMFED from Gabby's left to her right. "How did you get up here?"
Startled only for a second, Gabby laughed. "I tried to use the door...but then I gave up and just climbed out a window, and up here." She showed him a few scratched on her arms as well as some bruises. "I kinda hit myself a couple of times...until I decided to just fly up here, no matter how much energy it would take."
"Verblueffend..."
Gabby might not have understood German, but she understood what it meant. She blushed, hoping her new blue friend wouldn't notice in the dark. But, despite her efforts to duck her head and hide it, he noticed. Kurt placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face. He studied it for a bit while she studied his.
"So many scars..." Gabby outlined a cool finger on one of the many lines on his face. "They look like tattoos...but they look as if they were cut into the skin." Kurt removed his hand. He knew what was coming...
"No one deserves this...Kurt. Everyone has sinned before. I know I have." Gabby played with her hair. The Nightcrawler stared at her shock written all over his face. "Storm told me what you do to yourself." Gabby looked away and yawned.
"You are tired. You should sleep." Kurt changed the subject quickly. He didn't feel like ruining the good mood...nor this new feeling he had. It felt strange...nothing he had ever felt before.
"I'm not tired..." Gabby's eyes were already fluttering open and closed. She leaned into Kurt. "Ok...yes I am."
Kurt laughed and held Gabby in a friendly embrace. "Vell, mein Freund...Ich shall take you to you're room!" with a BAMF of blue smoke they appeared at Gabby's door. Gabby struggled to stand upright and open her door. When she stumbled inside, she turned around to look at Kurt.
"Thank you, watashi no tomodachi." Gabby smiled up at him. "I'll see you at breakfast then?"
"Ja. Of course." Kurt waved before BAMFing to his room. Gabby's laughter from right next door made him smile before hoping into bed.
