Hang-Over Hell
Chapter One: Replay
Kitty slowly slurred awake with her head throbbing in pain. Keeping her eyes closed she groaned momentarily in pain. Then she finally realized it. she was resting on her head on something comfortable, her arms were around something strong - definitely not a pillow or the bed and an unmistakable feel of arms were cuddling her.
She flashed her eyes open just to confirm her thoughts when she saw the unbelievable before her eyes fluttered shut almost as quickly as she opened them. "Gawd. No no no. NO way this can't be happening." She mumbled just barely legible to herself.
Her eyes hurt and wasn't adjusted to the light the first time she opened and it made her head ache even more. She wasn't game enough to be up to that again. What she did realize though, was that she was not in the institute but in some unfamiliar room.
Kitty was tired, she didn't even want to think what she was doing, she didn't even want to jump out of bed and freak out. Thinking made her head hurt and she put the hand that was over the sleeping form's chiseled and muscular abs on her head to try and calm the pain.
Instead she tried to recall the events of the night before. She visualized the blurred memory of the loud music and the bar. She moaned once more but kept going, the pain it caused to think was less than the pain that rushed over to her when she opened her eyes.
***********
The music was loud, and kitty was definitely losing herself in it. Very much so that she had completely forgotten about the girls she came with, Amara, Jubilee, Rahne and (would ya believe it?) Rogue. She had a few run- ins with some people she knew, so much for a girl's night out. The iciest guy in the building, Bobby, the fuzzy blue elf, Kurt and the human cannonball, Roberto were all there.
Kitty, however could not care less, she just broke up with her boyfriend of two months and needed this time to cool off. 'He was a dick, he was a dick, he was a dick' She chanted mentally. It was more of a dump than a break up and Kitty was on the wrong receiving end but had managed to not cry for him all day.
Unseen to the heartbroken kitten was two piercing sapphire eyes that seemed to have been watching her for quite some time now, she was lost in music, and he was lost in her. He growled and left the scene of drooling drunk girls that were all over him and trying to get a piece of him. They all kept following him but he shook them off flashing them a flirtatious smile, "Ladies, I know that you want me, but let's try to work it out when you're not so drunk 'coz I really need to go" Pietro whispered huskily slightly out of character.
With that he jetted around the corner and used his superspeed to get to the other of the club. "Not like you pretty boy, to just blow off a buncha hot drunk girls" Lance Alvers the supreme, or so it seemed, commented.
"Shut up, they're boring me. Besides whatcha call me over for?" Pietro 'replied' monotonously.
"Nothing, just had a little run-in with some of the X-geeks, thankfully not Summers or Jean. Just watch out they're here and today, I'm really not in the mood to get into one of those little wars we tend to have." Answered Lance, while leaning on the wall and playing with the toothpick that was in his mouth.
"Well if that's it then I'll seya later, got chics to pick and all" with that Pietrohad sped off and disappeared leaving Lance chuckling to himself "The crazy bastard, just a second ago he was all bored of the chics" he mumbled under his breath.
On another side of the club was Jubilee and Amara sitting at a table talking.
"I'm so glad for Rogue, it was sooo about time she got to touch, I'm glad she lost the whole goth-look too." Amara decided happily and taking another sip of cocktail.
"Yeah, now she's little-miss-popular with her all cool look. It's just too bad she can't control her powers on her own and still needs that power- control pill that only lasts 3 hours." Jubilee stated taking a sip of her delicious dessert wine, she was not the colourful cocktail person.
"I guess, but she's got pills that last up to 12 hours now y'know. guess she's getting the hang of it" smiled Amara and using her straw to stir her cocktail, what in the world did they put in this martini, it tasted a lot stronger than the ones she was used to.
"What's wrong, is it getting hard to stay sober?" Jubes cooed teasingly.
"You're one to talk Miss-I'm-so-lost-for-words-when-I'm-near-Bobbly-Drake" Amara shot back. She giggled slightly upon seeing the look on Jubilee's face, she was red, "You should really ask him to a dance tonight, even Rahne's with a guy right now!"
"Makes us sound pretty pathetic huh? Rogue is this girl that every guy in here wants, Rahne's probably making out with a guy and Kitty's dancing away, getting checked out by at least three quarters of the male population in here." Jubilee sighed.
"Looks like Roguey over there's found herself a keeper, oooh la la is he burnin' HOT!?" Amara squealed putting her hands over her mouth.
"Oh my god, that's that Gambit guy, from the Alcolytes. He so wanted her even before she could touch aww.. This is so sweet - that is for everyone but us." Jubilee sighed again.
Jubilee stared as a cute-looking guy sauntered over to them, he had a russet dirty-blonde coloured hair and tapped Amara on the shoulder, she spun around while Jubilee sat there with her mouth literally hanging open.
"Hey, umm I was wondering if you'd like a dance?" He asked somewhat nervously. Amara looked at jubilee who ushered her hands saying, "Go ahead, have fun honey and I'll be fine" Amara squealed leaned over to give Jubes a hug and went back to the guy answering his question with an "I'd love to" as she was led gracefully to the dance floor.
Pietro managed to lose more of the drunk girls and still get a good viewing distance of the girl that had him mesmerized by her rhythmic movements. 'Why the hell am I watching her and why the hell am I even thinking about her?' Pietro yelled at himself mentally.
He sighed inwardly and approached her 'I'll ask her if she wants a drink, this is a club after all' he decided. When he reached her she was slowing down and breathing heavily signaling that she was getting pretty tired "hey you had some nice moves goin' there" Pietro commented honestly.
'God does he look hot tonight. Don't flaunt the enemy, don't flaunt the enemy. It's just because you just got dump and its clouding your judgement' Kitty told herself, "Like when did u start complimenting people?" Kitty wondered without insulting him considering that she was way too upset and hey pride had been torn away.
"Hey just pointing out a fact, up for a drink Pryde?" He asked sweetly not believing that he just did that 'It's just a drink, not a marriage commitment, this is a bar this is what we DO' he told himself. At this point Kitty was debating on whether or not she should tell him to hold that thought while she cleaned her ears out.
"Like what did you just say again I don't think I like heard you right?" Kitty asked knowing that he probably said an insult or something like that. She brought her hands up to her face and threw her back-length hair back which was out of its usual pony tail. She was wearing a pink spaghetti strap tank top with a pair of baggy jeans. She had a light purple sparkly eye shadow on and pink lip gloss.
"You heard me Pryde, a drink. Old baldy and my Dad aren't around and this is a bar. How about it?" Pietro repeated and gave her one of his heart- melting smiles. She nearly melted in his presence but caught herself just in time.
She scanned his face expecting a 'Ha ha you fell for it' or something but it didn't come, "I don't think so Pietro. It's-" Kitty began but Pietro cut her off.
"It's a crime for you to have a little sip and you're scared of having a little fun" Pietro finished for her having this smug look on his face as he crossed his arms.
"That's like so not what I was gonna say-" Kitty began again but again she was interrupted
"Bet it was, the little kitten is too afraid to have any fun, scared that Scott will give her a grounding." Pietro teased putting a hand through his slick magnesium hair.
"Well you're I was like so going to accept your little offer, I just didn't want anyone spotting me talk to such a loser" She countered angrily. 'He has some nerve" Kitty fumed inwardly.
"That's nice babe," Pietro smiled putting a hand over her shoulder and directing her to the bar, "So what do ya feel like?"
Suddenly realization dawned on her, "You just tricked me didn't you?" Kitty asked with a sigh. Pietro studied her face for a second and decided he liked that look on Kitty's face, and shrugged "Kinda" was his quick reply. Kitty just groaned but kept going toward the bar.
"I just want a martini please" Kitty said softly, ordering drinks made her think of the guy that just dumped her this afternoon. She felt like banging her head over with a mallet, or better yet just bang it on the wall. She had been so strong all day and she was going to let the tears out in front of Pietro, the biggest jerk alive, and the guy that just asked her if she wanted a drink.
What has the world become?
Pietro glanced over again and saw how her face was etched with hurt, he wondered if he did anything to hurt her feelings or something. Not wanting to see her look upset, he asked "Hey you okay? Something botherin' ya?" in an easy-going tone.
Kitty raised her eye brows surprised that he actually noticed she wasn't at her best at the moment but quickly shook her head, "N-nothing's wrong. W- what gave you that impression?" Kitty replied stumbling on her words.
"Doesn't take a genius to figure you're down 'bout something but I can understand if you don't want to think about it so I think I'll just shut up" Pietro said in a light mood which lightened the tense moment a little.
"God will wonders never cease? The all great Maximoff shutting up? There was a time when I believed it wouldn't even be possible for him to like do so for more than a minute!" Kitty joked with mock enthusiasm.
"Hey-" Pietro protested stopping to look at her but she just raised her hands mid-way in defeat, "I'm joking, and thanks for like being cool about whatever's botherin' me"
"Is that valley girl language for you want me?" He asked innocently and a goofy grin playing on his lips. 'Why am I flirting with Pryde, I think I had too much burgers this afternoon'
"In your wildest dreams" Kitty assured, "In your wildest dreams" with those last words Pietro ordered 2 martinis at the counter, the man gave a smart as Pietro turned his attention back to Kitty, "Life IS a wild dream Pryde"
*************
She let her last flashback linger in her mind a bit, how right Pietro was when he had said that. Well she was ready to give the waking up thing another shot.
Kitty let out a small sigh a tried adjusting her eyes to the light once again, it took a few moments but that's when she realized she was just millimeters away from Pietro's face, not only that but their entire body was practically intertwined with each other's.
The smartest thing that she could do to get out of the tangle would probably phase away but strangely enough, she didn't want to, she quite liked this position. 'What in the world did I like just think, err. hangovers'
She looked up to study Pietro's face, he looked even hotter when he was asleep if that was even possible. Kitty was now almost certain that she had lost and squeezed her eyes shut again only to drift asleep.
Only a few minutes later, Pietro stirred opening his eyes groggily. A smile formed on his lips as he saw the angel he saw a few hours ago when he first woke up. His head killed like hell but here he was staring at this girl that was in his bed.
Her head was resting on his chest and his arms were around her. It felt so right, but this was a member of the x-men, in his room, in his bed WITH him. He kinda liked the feel of it. He growled in frustration, since when did he think that way about Kitty Pryde.
Why was he still thinking about his feelings for Kitty? If he did what he thought he did, Summers wouldn't be the only one after his ass, but along with Daniels, Rogue, all the x-geek team, Lance, Mystique, his father Magneto and probably the rest of the sick and twisted world.
'To hell with this, I'm going to try and remember how this actually happened and what actually happened'
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A/N: Umm hey this is my first fiction. heh, I'm not expecting much from it but hey I tried, I was aiming for a one shot but I didn't get to all the POVs. I couldn't get much romyness through, or Jubes and bobby and I couldn't even get through most of the Kietro.
Well some feedback would be nice, I'm not forcing ya into it coz I know I wouldn't want to be forced into righting up reviews ^_^ I hope you've enjoyed this and if ya guys like it I'll try my best to update it!
