Author's Notes: Don't worry, he won't have to wait long, she'll come around.
"Come here," Pietro said, inviting Kitty to scoot closer, as they sat in the park staring at the sky.
She leaned her head on Pietro's shoulder and felt herself warming all over. As the night around them grew darker, Kitty began to shiver. Pietro put his arm around her and drew her close.
Pietro and Kitty sat on the steps of the Brotherhood house after graduation, when the Fred and Todd walked out.
"It's great the two of you are together now," Todd commented.
"Excuse me, we aren't together. I never answered him," Kitty smirked and walked away.
He grabbed her hand, "Then what are we?" In his mind, he thought they were getting even closer.
She just smiled and phased out of his grip.
On their nightly walk, Pietro asked seriously, "Do you love me or not?"
"I can't answer that right now. If you could give me a little bit more time, and then I'll answer," She looked away from him sadly.
"Ok then, I'll wait," He replied.
Kitty sighed, 'You have to get over him!' Her mind yelled.
"What did you say?" asked Rogue.
"I couldn't lie to him, I told him to give me a little bit more time," She replied.
"Oh Kitty, he's gone now. Pietro loves you; He'll take care of you. Actually, he's taken great care of you," Rogue stated.
"I know, and after all he's done, I should love him," Kitty sat back down on her bed.
"Don't love him because you pity him, Kitty," Rogue warned.
"I know that. He's such a great guy that I can't pity him."
"So you do love him?" Rogue smiled.
Kitty just shrugged.
"I think you do," Rogue teased then walked out.
"I didn't realize cooking would be so hard!" Kitty complained one day in the kitchen.
"Are you sure you don't want me to help you?" Ororo asked gently.
"Yes, I want to make it myself, for Pietro," She smiled.
"Ok," Ororo nodded, and just watched.
Later, she went to the Brotherhood house, and called out to him.
"I made some spaghetti for you, for all of you, there's a lot so don't worry," She smiled.
"Mmm, just the smell makes it seem like it's already good," Pietro teased.
So everyone started stuffing their mouths, and then Pietro stopped chewing, and froze, and the rest of the team followed.
"What? It isn't good?" Kitty asked worriedly.
Pietro swallowed, and smiled, "We're just so amazed it's delicious."
After dinner, "You want to go for a walk?" Pietro asked.
"Ok," Kitty got up from the couch and followed him out.
"Was it really bad, and you said it was good just so I won't get hurt?" Kitty asked.
"It's not that counts. It matters that you made the effort to make something for me, and that's all that matters," He replied.
She rolled her eyes and walked away from him.
"Hey Freddy, is Pietro home?" Kitty asked twirling the cord in her fingers.
"You didn't hear? Pietro left," replied Fred.
"You're not supposed to say anything!" Todd hit Fred on the head.
"Ow," He whined, "why not?"
"Freddy, put Todd on the phone please?" Kitty asked gently.
"Sure," He handed it to Todd, who kept shaking his head, but Fred shoved it at him.
"Hello?" He chuckled nervously.
"Where's Pietro, Todd?"
"He left. He went to visit a friend," Todd answered.
"Where and how long will he be gone?" She asked.
"California and I don't know when he's coming back," He replied.
"What?" Kitty gasped, "Is Wanda home?"
"Nope, sorry Sweetums is out," Todd smiled.
"Ok fine. Thanks," Then Kitty hung up.
[A few minutes later]
"Where are you going?" Rogue asked as she saw her roommate packing stuff into her backpack.
"California, I'm going to find Pietro. Why he left I don't know, but I'm going to find out," Kitty phased downstairs.
In California, at the Village Recording Studio, Kitty had troubling getting in without any contacts or passes. "I don't want to get in, and I just want to know if a Pietro Maximoff is here?"
"Sorry ma'am, but we're not allowed to give that information out," The guard replied.
While inside a taxi, Pietro was leaving the building on his cell with Todd.
"So did you get what you want?" Todd asked.
"I guess. Lance seems ok. I heard he was depressed when he got here, but he got over it," Pietro replied.
"Did you talk to him?" Todd asked.
"A little bit. He's really busy though," Pietro looked out the window and thought he saw Kitty, shook his head thinking, 'I'm imagining things.'
"Come home already. Kitty's waiting for you," Todd laughed.
"Really?" Pietro felt a bubble of joy inside.
"Of course, she keeps calling; you know she loves you, don't you? It's so obvious," Todd stated.
"I'll schedule a flight as soon as I can. I'll talk to you later," Pietro hung up and asked the taxi driver to hurry up.
Todd got excited and decided to tell Kitty that Pietro's coming home, "Hey, is Kitty home?"
"Why are you calling, Loser? She's not home," Amara replied.
"Fine X-geek, just tell her Pietro's coming back ok?" Todd wanted to spit at her face right now.
"Don't you dare call me that! And why he is doing that? Kitty went to California to look for him, moron!" Amara slammed the receiver down.
"Who was that?" asked Bobby.
"Toad," Amara frowned.
"What did he say?" Rogue asked butting in.
"That Pietro's coming home," She went back to watching TV.
Rogue's eyes widened, "We have to tell Kitty! Pass me phone, Bobby."
Bobby threw her cordless, while she dialed for Kitty's cell.
"Hello?"
"Kitty, come home! Pietro's coming home; you better catch him at the airport!" Rogue shouted.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Don't have to yell," Kitty hung up, grabbed her backpack, and started packing again.
[At the Airport]
"Is there any room?" He asked.
"No, sorry sir. The next one is in half an hour," The clerk replied.
"Ok, thanks anyways," Pietro sighed and found a seat and sat down.
Once Kitty arrived, she threw some money at the cab driver, ran into the airport, checked in, and went to the gate headed for New York.
She started looking around the gate for the speed demon she missed.
"Excuse me miss? But if you're in this flight, they're already boarding," A flight attendant stated.
"Thank you," She handed her boarding pass and went in. No silver hair anywhere. Kitty sighed, and sat down.
After Pietro picked up his pillow that fell, he looked at the window, and smiled. Soon he was going to see his Kitten.
The long, lonely hours back to New York felt like forever to the two, who never knew they were on the same flight back.
[In New York]
Kitty sighed as she trudged along heading outside.
"Kitty?" Pietro called out, noticing her head in the crowd anywhere.
She turned around, and smiled as she was in his arms again.
"You were on this flight?" She asked, now smiling.
"Don't tell me you were?" He laughed.
She giggled, "I thought I missed you. Rogue called and told me you were heading back."
"Why did you go to California?" He smirked.
"I should be asking you that," She frowned.
"I take the fifth," He smiled.
Kitty rolled her eyes, "Fine, I do too."
"At least, we could head back to Bayville together," He smirked again, putting his arm around her.
Kitty phased out of his arms and walked into an empty taxi, but was followed in by Pietro.
She glared, and he just smiled.
Once Kitty got a look of the driver, she cringed, he looked like a serial killer, and she scooted a little closer to Pietro, causing him to smile.
"Thanks for coming with me," Kitty smiled nervously as she sat with Pietro in the Taxi.
"No problem. You know I'd travel the world with you," He teased.
Kitty rolled her eyes, "We just went to California, stupid."
"Me, stupid?" Pietro looked shocked.
"Uh huh," She giggled.
"I'm not the one who went to California for no reason at all," He sneered.
"Whatever, you did too," She turned her head and looked out the window.
"Am I stupid because I love you?" He smirked.
Kitty gave an exasperated sigh, but smiled inwardly.
Pietro won this one and smiled to himself. Then he looked at her shifting uncomfortably. He smirked again, and slipped his arm around her. She looked at him weird, but Pietro just scooted closer, "Here, lay on my shoulder."
She obliged, and he was grinning like crazy, but she couldn't see. Then kissed the top of her head, she leaned forward and gave him a look.
"There was something in your hair," He tried to hold in his smile.
She rolled her eyes, but Pietro motioned for her to lean on him again, so she did.
