Perfect By Nature

Chapter XXI: Apology Accepted

By: Michelle

Ororo stood in front of Kurt's door. She held up her hand to knock, but was afraid to. Come on Ororo. Pull yourself together. You can do this. She took calming breaths. Feel Better. Well, sort of. Come on Ororo. You can do this.

She knocked on the door softly and waited. No one came. Maybe he knows it's me and doesn't want to see me. Can't blame him. She went to turn and walk away, but she stopped herself. Stop this Ororo. Don't give up like this.

She took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. Kurt was kneeling on the floor with his eyes closed and his unique hands holding the rosary. He was praying. She almost didn't want to disturb him.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do

He didn't notice her, so she just stood there and admired him. He may have the body of a devil, but he has the heart of an angel. That's what she liked about him.

But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

That's what she loved about him. I love him. Ororo sniffled and she wiped a tear rolling down her cheek.

And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Kurt's eyes shot open as he heard the noise. He made the sign of the cross and looked at the door. Ororo stood there with her long silvery hair in a mess ponytail and full of sweat and potting soil. She has been in the garden. I've never seen her look so beautiful before.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be

Ororo's sapphire eyes met Kurt's golden ones. "Hey."

"Hallo." Kurt stood up slowly. "What are you doing here?"

A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

"I want to talk to you." Ororo said softly as she walked forward.

Kurt placed his rosary on his dresser and sighed. "So talk."

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday

"I'm sorry." Ororo said with tears in her eyes. "I didn't mean…to…" hurt you. She looked away from him slightly and let them fall. I'm sorry.

And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away

Kurt watched her she lost all her compose. He had never seen her like this before. Sure she cried when Jean past away, but her tears now were for another reason. Ororo was always the strongest of the X-men, but not now. Not here before him.

And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

Kurt walked up to her and reached out his hand to wipe away her tears. I didn't mean to make you cry.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be

Ororo felt the soft caress of his hand brush away her tears. "Kurt I'm sorry."

A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

"Sorry for vhat?" Kurt asked as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

and the reason is You

"For hurting you." Ororo cried. "I didn't mean to."

and the reason is You

"I know." Kurt replied feeling his own eyes filling with tears.

and the reason is You

"I'm sorry Kurt." Ororo cried. "I care so much about you. You have always been there for me."

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Kurt looked at her tear flowing face and her puffy red eyes. He knew she had meant every word she was saying.

"Kurt you mean a lot to me." Ororo said as he cupped her face. "I…"

Before she could finish, Kurt pulled her into a kiss and she didn't object.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

When they broke apart, they were both breathless. Kurt pulled Ororo close to him and she leaned her head on his chest. They didn't know how long they stood like that and they didn't care at the moment. Apology accepted.

Logan stood out in the hallway with his arms folded shaking his head. Nothing my ass. It's about time those two got together.

The song in this chapter is The Reason by Hoobastank. I have been dying to write this chapter since I heard this song on the radio. I knew it would be perfect by nature.

Anyways. I better get cracking on the next chapters. See you next time.

Thanks for all the reviews.
