Author's Note:

Hip Hooray! And here we are at the end of "In Love," (sniff sniff) this was my first story ever to be written. And though I must admit it may not have the best, it was the best "learning to be a writer" experience. Hope you enjoyed it!!

Kitty snuggled closer to her new-found lover as they both sat at one of the more secluded places of the park.

She glanced briefly at her clock.

"I still got, like, an hour or so before curfew...." she murmured as she buried herself further into the crook of Lance's neck.

"What to do with the time?" Lance teased.

Kitty lifted her head to smile at him, "I'm liking my position already."

"Same here, Pretty Kitty, same here."

He slowly brought a finger up to her chin to lift it up, her eyes started to close as his lips drew close. They met with static, fireworks, and all that other stuff that told them it was real.

They panted and took deep breaths as they parted.

"Today was some day...."Kitty mused.

"One of the best days of my life."

"Mine too," she agreed happily.

"Hey Kitty, mind if I ask you something?"

Kitty sat up straighter and titled her head a little to give him her undivided attention.

"Aren't you umm.... kind of ashamed to be with me?" he sputtered out.

He knew it was a stupid question. It was just nagging at him. How could someone as great as Kitty Pryde want to be with someone like him.

Kitty, on the other hand, was gawking at his question. She firmly grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes with a fiery passion.

"Lance, deal with it. Come on, you aren't the devil's apprentice, you may not be an angel, but I love you just the way you are."

Now it was Lance's turn to gawk.

"Y-y-ou love me?"

Kitty smiled after realizing that she had let that one slip. She might as well admit it.

"Pretty nice, huh? I do love you.... And no matter what anyone says about it, it's true."

"I love you, too Kitty. Might not be that much of a surprise, but I do."

"So we love each other...." she said just enjoying the way it sounded

"Yeah we love each other..." he repeated enjoying it all the same.
The End...
