Maybe

"Are you sure you want to stay behind?" Kurt asked Kitty who was sitting next to Pietro on the couch watching TV.
Kitty nodded, "I can't go out of town this weekend, and I have to study for finals."
"Study? Come on Kitty, you know you don't need to, plus we'll be back in time to study." Rogue rolled her eyes.
"I do, ok? Go ahead and have fun, I'll watch over the mansion with Mr. McCoy."
"Fine, but you better come on the next one where it'll be just us this time!" Rogue ordered and then stepped out.
Later that night, Mr. McCoy walked into the living room and found the two still in their same spots, "How much longer are you two going to be up?"
"Till she falls asleep, then I'll head on home," Pietro replied.
"Fine with me. Just make sure Logan doesn't know I let you stay here for this long," he laughed.
"No problem," Pietro stretched his arm and slinked it around her shoulders.
"Smooth," Mr. McCoy teased and then walked out.
Kitty didn't push him away this time; she just continued watching the movie.
After the movie had finished, Pietro turned to check on the girl to his side. Surprisingly, he found her asleep, leaning on his shoulder.
He picked her up, brought her to her room, and tucked her in.
"Night kitten," he kissed her forehead and disappeared in a gust of wind.
"Too much studying," Kitty plopped onto her bed, and glanced at her desk full of books and notes.
'Maybe I should've just gone with them, I'm already tired of studying, and now I have no one to hang out with,' she thought with a sigh.
'What am I going to do?' Kitty wondered.
"I'll call Pietro" She said aloud, "hopefully he'll be home."
"Hey what's shakin'? Answered the crazy, familiar voice.
"Hi! It's me. I'm friendless, and bored. I need to hang out with someone," She confessed.
"When are you going to admit that you're going to marry me?" He teased.
"Whatever! Why would I want to marry the enemy?" She sounded disgusted.
"Correction, we aren't enemies, or else you wouldn't have called me," He pointed out.
"Haha. Very funny. You are the enemy, everyone here hates you," She replied coldly.
"Not you," He chuckled.
"I said everyone, including me, loser," She was getting wound up.
"Low-life."
"Player."
"X-geek."
"Hey! I'm not geek!" She yelled.
"Yah you are," He teased, "you were studying before you called right?"
"Jerk!"
"I'll be right over," He said.
"What?" I responded.
"We're going on a date," He informed and hung up.
An hour later, they were sitting on a park bench finishing their food.
"You're a cheap date," He added throwing away their trash. He loved getting her angry.
"Excuse me?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I don't mean it in a bad way, but you're easily contented. How many times have we just went to McDonald's and you're fine? No wonder Lance loved taking you out."
'Maybe I should it tonight, should I? I don't know,' Pietro thought with anticipation.
"This isn't a date," Kitty spouted.
'I guess this is it,' He comfortably reached over and kissed her.
It was warm and wonderful, but unfamiliar.
"Now do you think this is a date, Kitty Pryde?" he asked as he gazed into her eyes."
Kitty bit her lip, while Pietro looked at her anxiously.
Kitty had avoided Pietro again, saying that she needed to study.
The next time Pietro saw her was at school, Monday morning.
He drove by in his little sports car, backing up when he saw Kitty; she was walking away from him on her way to class.
"Hey kitten, come here," He called out.
"Why?" She probed, even though every muscle of her body wanted to jump into his car like she had so many times before.
"Because you adore me," He claimed.
"Oh, do I?" She smiled, and then continued walking.
"Kitten, come back here!" He yelled.
"Chase me!" She challenged and walked confidently into the science building.
"Alright Kitty, you promised!" Rogue crossed her arms.
"I know, but can Pietro come this time?" she asked.
"Why?" Kurt asked.
"Well…because…maybe he'd like to come," Kitty replied.
"Whatever asks the professor," Rogue sighed in defeat and walked away.
"I'm so excited!" she exclaimed, "The professor even let us go by ourselves!"
"I share your enthusiasm," Rogue muttered from her spot in the passenger seat.
"It just goes to show how much he trusts us," Kurt added.
"I know, isn't it great?" Kitty giggled.
They arrived at their little campsite, and immediately the guys went on building the tents, while kitty started putting up her hammock.
"What are we going to do guys?" Rogue asked helping her brother.
"You could go on a hike," Kurt replied.
"Ok," Rogue got up and started headed into the woods.
"Wait, you can't go by yourself!" Kurt called out and followed her.
Pietro took a look at Kitty, which was now fast asleep on her hammock; he chuckled softly, and decided to go with them.
Kitty yawned and looked around; the sun was now up letting her know it was past noon already. "Where is everyone?"
"I'll go take a bath then," she grabbed her stuff and headed for the lake.
Kitty waited, waited, and waited, until she heard footsteps. She jumped up ready to yell at Pietro, but she was shocked and terrified at the hermit standing only a few feet away from her.
"I'll trade you these fish for that," He offered holding out the fish.
Kitty didn't move or say anything. She finally got her head to nod. The old man handed her the fish and walked away.
Later she heard Pietro.
Pietro's voice called to her from the woods, "Hey Kitty! You
Awake yet?
She ran down the trail, met him halfway, and flew into his arms. But her hug lasted less than two seconds. With a frustrated punch into his chest, she said, "Where were you guys? You left me here alone! Some guy came and traded me fish for Kurt's sweater, and I didn't know what was going on!"
Pietro seemed to be looking at her hair, which hung straight down her shoulders and was tousled wildly from her running about. "You smell good," he said.
"Did you hear anything I said?"
"Yes. He left you with three fish. Have you started to clean them yet?"
Kitty looked at him incredulously. "No."
"Come on, I'll help you. The others are going to be here in a few minutes.
"Where were you guys?"
Pietro grinned. "We got turned around on our hike."
"You were lost?"
"A little."
"How can you be a little lost, Pietro? Either you're lost or you're not."
Pietro slipped his arms around her shoulder. He seemed amused by her raving comment and acted as if nothing were wrong.
