Loner in Love:
Kurt lay on the beach, the evening of the following day, wondering what it was that he had exactly been so scared of. Kitty managed to make everything seem so easy, and they had naturally slipped back into their old best-friend routine. Because Storm and Evan were still extremely tired from their flight the previous day, Kitty had suggested that Kurt could accompany her to the local beach and they could tell each other all about their holidays. So, here they were, after what Kurt could only describe as one of the best days of his life: he and Kitty had messed around all day, splashing each other, building sandcastles and just talking.
It was an amazing end to the perfect day
Sun sinking low in the sky
Now the two friends lay together, staring out over the horizon, prolonging the time when they would have to leave, as they should really be back at the institute before it got dark, unfortunately. However, Kurt found it hard to keep his eyes off Kitty. If anything, she had gotten more beautiful over her vacation. Her pale skin was now lightly tanned, causing her blue eyes to sparkle with an even brighter light. Her chestnut brown hair was, typically, in a high ponytail with two bangs framing her face perfectly. And she really looked good in that bikini. . .
We sat and watched all the dolphins swim in the bay
That crazy look in your eye
Kitty rolled over and looked back at Kurt.
"Watchu thinkin' elf?"
Kurt was almost too lost in her eyes to reply,
"We shud be. . .getting back."
Kurt looked so sad that Kitty decided to cheer him up.
"OK Mr. Responsible,"
Kurt tried to hold back his laughter as Kitty continued, about the irony of that statement: really he was the antithesis of responsible!
"Just one more splash in the sea!"
Kitty jumped up and grabbed Kurt,
"Cummon lazy!"
We ran in slow motion
Over the sand
Reaching the shoreline Kitty phased through an obstructing jellyfish, leaving Kurt to attempt a jump going on bamf to try to avoid it. Unfortunately for Kurt he bamfed further out into the ocean, past Kitty, and trying to grab her hand he landed with a huge splash that almost blinded Kitty let alone Kurt!
Into the ocean
Holding your hand
"Kurt! Ugh! I'm all. . ." Kitty checks herself, as she remembered a similar previous incident. She had been sunbathing on a blow-up float in the pool at the mansion, when Kurt had cannonballed into the pool up-turning her and getting her all wet. Egh! And Evan, who hadn't gained complete control over his powers yet and had spiked her float after a badly judged landing, followed him! The memory of it all made Kitty laugh,
"Keety, vhat, may I ask, ees so funny?"
Snapping back to the present Kitty realised that she was faced with a soaking wet blue fuzzy.something! The sight of Kurt wiping saltwater out of his eyes and dripping with seaweed was so funny that Kitty just laughed harder! Kurt attempted to look indignant, unsuccessfully!
"Eet's. . .not. . .funny" Choked Kurt, trying not to laugh himself as Kitty seemed to make it contagious. Kitty splashed Kurt again, unfortunately blurring his vision as she got him in the eyes, and began splashing her way back to shore, as it really was almost dark now.
But then it gets hazy
And I loose you and then that's when

"You, like, like me?" Kitty stared at Kurt with what could only be disgust and even fear on her face.
"I. . .I. . ." Kurt stammered "I love you Keety!" Suddenly Kitty began to laugh. At first it was her usual giggle but it heightened until it sounded like a hundred voices laughing at Kurt. Suddenly Kitty spoke,
"Did you really think I would feel like that for you? I don't even like you as a friend, I just felt sorry for you! Besides there was some danger in befriending the devil-mutant! Blue furry freak!" Kurt stared shocked at Kitty, he edged towards her slightly
"Don't dare touch me mutie!" Kitty screamed. Kurt seemed to have forgotten everything, including the fact that Kitty was herself a mutant. All that mattered was Kitty, and what she had finally told him.
"And don't even, like, call me again!"
Call her? But she lived with him didn't she? What if he had to go? Was he in a zoo? Was he just an animal? And touch her? Maybe they would keep him in a cage? Locked away from all human contact?
Suddenly Kurt's eyes snapped open. A dream. It was all a dream. But that didn't stop what he was feeling.
I wake up scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
Yeah-eh-yeah
Trying to calm himself down, Kurt took deep breaths. He looked towards his mirror, before turning away in disgust at the.the animal that he was. Grabbing his watch he turned on his hologram. This was his life. Sometimes in the day, when good things were happening he could forget it, but really his life had always and would always be like this. He was alone, no one really cared, he wasn't really human.
It's still the same old story
Tears and morning glory, no luck
And that's the reason why my life sucks
No on really loved him. Did they?
A single tear ran down his blue furry face.
Very much, being a loner in love

Kurt walked at record pace towards nowhere. He needed to work off that nightmare, Kitty really liked him. They were friends! She told him that he was her best friend! She had smiled and chatted to him at breakfasting, she even asked if he was OK when he seemed quiet. Rogue had returned and Kitty was helping her unpack, leaving Kurt with Evan. Or with Lance. Lance? Great, Lance was walking straight towards him. May be he would just ignore him. Fat chance! Ah well, time for the big over-confident smile, and perhaps, to relieve some stress, he would. . .
"Hey fuzzball! Not seen you're freaky self around lately!" The egotistic Avalanche attempted to sound cool, but it never really worked.
"Oh, it's you," Kurt grunted in reply.
"Seen my Pretty Kitty around freak?"
Kurt looked up at Lance,
"Actually, Alvers, yes. She got home yesterday. Hasn't she called you yet?"
Lance was stunned into silence, and before he could attempt an answer Kurt continued, his confidence boosted,
"No? Oh, that must be because we were at the beach. All yesterday! Together! And d'you know what else Alvers? We. . ."
The next day I ran into your current boyfriend
Told him what we did last night
Avalanche had gotten over his shock. The ground began to shake angrily,
"You lookin for a fight freak?"
Before my story had even got to the end
He challenged me to a fight
Kurt realised what he had gotten into. He really didn't want a fight on his third day back. Or at all! Especially not in public. He couldn't even use his powers where they were, although Lance seemed to be ignoring the random people screaming "Earthquake" as his anger increased. Kurt turned to run,
I ran in slow motion
Away from him
"Uh uh blue boy, you aint getting away that easily!"
Lance tripped Kurt with an extra large rumble of earth, and before Kurt could do anything, let alone decide whether he valued his looks more than the no powers in public rule, Lance was beside him.
But he caught up with me
And kicked my teeth in
Screw the rules. This wasn't on! Kurt jumped up, twisting mid-bamf so that when he reappeared behind Lance he could get his revenge.
"By ze vay Lance, she is not you're Pretty-Kitty!"
Tripping Lance he kicked him before teleporting out of there, really Kurt was in enough trouble as it was without completely beating up one of the brotherhood! But his face! One of Kurt's lips were split. That's about it for the Kurt-grin for now thought Kurt!
Now I've got no chance cause
I can't even grin
Kitty will just love me for this.
No nothing's changing!
Bamf! Kurt appeared in his room, trying to avoid being seen by any enquiring Xmen Kurt decided to sleep until he figured out a way to avoid telling people what just happened, or until lunch. Closing his eyes, Kurt hesitated, remebering what happened the last time that he went to sleep.
I'm way to scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
Yeah-eh-yeah
Well what difference, Kurt was used to nightmares and doubts about his so-called "humanity". Nothing had changed.
It's still the same old story
Tears and morning glory, no luck
Kurt couldn't sleep at first, his split lip stung too much. His thoughts began drifting, as always, to Kitty. They were best friends, which was good he supposed. It was more than good; it was great. It was way more than Kurt had ever expected after her initial reaction to him! But still. Kurt didn't want them to be "just friends". Oh how he hated Lance. Kitty likes him and he knows it. But he is not good enough for Kurt's Kitty. Thinking this, Kurt remembered how he had told Lance that Kitty was not his. Funny, thought Kurt sarcastically, I didn't realise she was mine either.
And that's the reason why my life sucks
Very much, being a loner in love
(ooowaaah) (ooowaaah)
Kurt hadn't been able to get to sleep. He lay in his bed, trying to ignore the gnawing feeling that was getting worse in his stomach, thinking of his friend. . .his best friend. . .the love of his life. . .Kitty.
Flashback
Kurt and Kitty are at the beach, running towards the shore.
We ran in slow motion
Over the sand
Into the ocean
Holding your hand
Kitty phases through a jellyfish and Kurt ends up teleporting further out into the ocean and falling straight under the water.
But then it gets hazy
And I loose you and then that's when
End flashback
It was all so surreal. As if none of the good times were real. There was nothing he could do.
I wake up scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
Yeah-eh-yeah
Kitty wasn't his.
It's still the same old story
Tears and morning glory no luck
And never would be.
And that's the reason why my life sucks
Very much, being a loner in love
Kurt sat up. He had to go on being her friend though. No matter what. He stood up, and walked towards the door. Hearing Kitty's laugh floating down the corridor Kurt paused. She and Rogue were coming closer, they were going to pass his door. With h is thoughts and feelings echoing mochingly in his head he opened the door to keep on being the immovable fuzzy elf everyone knew.
"Hey Ketty, Rogue,"
I wake up scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
Yeah-eh-yeah
"Hi Kurt. What did ya do ta yerself?" Rogue asked, worried about her adopted brother, in her Southern accent, as Kurt tried to focus on reality.
It's still the same old story
Tears and morning glory no luck
"Kurt!!" Kitty exclaimed.
"Are you, like, OK? What happened?"
And that's the reason why my life sucks
Kurt looked into her concerned eyes.
Very much, being a loner in love
Caring that he was hurt. Caring because they were friends.
Being a loner in love
Well, thought Kurt, forcing a grin which almost split his lip again, but that split his hart even further.
Put the mask back on.
You know that it sucks.
