Chapter 7 – Boo-Boo's, Tickling and a Math Genius.
Reaching the mansion Kurt jumped out of the car, grabbed the bags belonging to Belle and grabbed Belle as soon as she stepped out of the vehicle and bamfed out of there.
"Man, is he in a hurry or what? I thought that he has dead tired" I said grabbing a hold of one of the many bags that were mine.
"I think that he just wants to get it all over with" Jean said smiling.
"We weren't that bad, were we Bobby?"
"Yeah right! Thanks to you I now have a sore back and my feet are killing me" Bobby said grumpily.
"Aww, poor baby. Do you want me to fix the boo-boo? If you want I can give you a backrub" I said talking as if I was talking to a small child.
"Don't patronize me" he said before grabbing four of my bags. Jean had 'volunteered' him to help me carry my things back to my room. He started walking while I had to grab the remaining three bags and run after him.
"Hey Bobby, hold up" I shouted as I hurried to catch up with him. He waited for me at the stairs. "Thanks"
"Yeah yeah yeah. Can you please hurry up? I wasn't kidding when I said that my back was sore, you know" he said.
"Hey, the offer still stands. I'll have you know that I'm very good at back-rubs" I said heading up the stairs.
"Finally" Bobby said entering my room.
"Hey, aren't you moving a little too fast here?"
"Huh? What? NO! God no" Obviously it had taken Bobby a little while to understand the little joke.
"Why thank you Bobby. You sure know how to make a girl feel appreciated" I said in a sarcastic tone. He was about to say something when I interrupted him.
"What ever you were going to say, save it. Now help me put these bags over there" I said pointing to where I had placed the bags I had been carrying. He did as I had told him.
"Now take off your shirt and lay down on the bed." Bobby stared at me, stunned by what I had just said.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Take the shirt off and get on the bed." I grabbed one of my mini-discs and put it on, and then I walked over to where he was standing.
"Okay, when you say 'take off your shirt and lay on the bed', exactly what do you mean?"
"I mean 'take off the shirt and lay down on the bed'." He was standing with his back to the bed, so I simply pushed him and he landed on the bed.
"What the hell are you doing woman?"
"Hmm, let me see. You're in the bed of a very beautiful woman with said woman, and you can do is complain? Have you suffered from a severe head trauma recent?"
"NO! Now get off me woman!" I had been standing over him with my knees on either side of him.
"If that's what you want, then sure. But know this, I was just trying to be nice and give you a massage. But if you don't want one, then fine. You're the one who'll have an aching back for the rest of the week." I got off him and sat down on the bed next to him. He laid there for a second, not moving, in thought. Then he turned his head my way and said in a very low voice:
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay" I said smiling ever so slightly.
"So, how about giving me that back-rub you were talking about?" Bobby said smiling while pulling his shirt off.
"Aww, how can someone say no to those blue eyes? Like this I guess" I said getting up and turning around, but before I had taken a step Bobby had grabbed my hand.
"Oh no you don't! You said that you were going to give me a massage, and a massage I shall have."
"Really? And what makes you think that?" I said. I was in a playful mood and thought that it would be fun to mess him Bobby a little.
"Oh, I don't know. This maybe…" Bobby said before pulling me on to the bed, tickling me.
"No, stop… Don't do that… stop it, it tickles…" I said laughing so hard tears were starting to form in my eyes.
"It's supposed to do that. That's why they call it tickling, you know."
That did it for me. Bobby was going down! I started tickling him back and the whole thing turned into a full-fledged tickle fight. After a while we were both laughing so hard that we both decided to call it quits. We were lying on the bed, waiting till our sides stopped hurting.
"Are you going to give me that back-rub now, or do I have to tickle you again?"
"Take it easy, I'll give you your precious back-rub, you big baby."
"Hey, how are you calling a baby?" Bobby said pouting.
"Oh, I don't know? You maybe?"
"Don't make me come over there, missy" Bobby threatened, but I could see that he was only joking
"Whatever. You want that massage or not?" I said sitting up on the bed, stretching.
"Yeah, mind hurrying up a bit. It's dinnertime in a while."
"Sure. Now lay down and I'll put on some soft music."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"I think I'm officially dead!" Kurt groaned when he found it appropriate to flop onto my bed, messing it up a great deal. He pressed a button on his image-inducer and he returned to the same blue fur-ball he had been before.
"You look alive to me," I answered. "And stop whining, it's starting to hurt my ears."
"You've not been caring stupid bags of shopping around vith you all day," he glared at me. "That is the last time I EVER go shopping vith vomen!"
"Yeah, yeah, change the record, Kurt," I rolled my eyes as I unpacked the shopping. I saw the elf watching me as I moved around the room by the mirror on the wall, his tail swishing like a cat's. "Stop staring at me, it's creeping me out!"
"You are the strangest person I've ever met," he told me. I snorted, in a rather unladylike manner.
"Looked in the mirror recently?" I quipped, that maybe was not the best of things to say as his expression was a little pained. "Oh, sorry Kurt. I didn't mean it like that."
"You're not the first to say it and you vill not be the last."
I came and sat on the edge of the bed, he sat up and looked at me, or rather he looked straight through me.
"Is there something on your mind, mein freund?" he asked, laying a blue hand on my shoulder.
"There are thousands of things on my mind and I think my brain might get squished out of my ears," I smiled slightly.
"A problem shared is a problem halved," he smiled.
"Yeah, but have you got time to listen to all of them?"
"I can make time," he wrapped his arms around his knees as he sat waiting for me to speak.
"Does… well… does mutation hurt?" I asked, feeling a little absurd about asking it.
"I vouldn't know," he shrugged. I frowned questioningly. "I vas born this way, it vas not a gradual mutation."
"So you were born a fuzz ball, huh?" I smiled and he chuckled.
"You could say that, yes," he smiled, then fell serious. "You vant to know if your late mutation vill hurt you?"
"Yes, I was never very good with pain."
"Vell, vhatever happens you have Rose and you have us. Ve vill help you through it," he smiled.
"You promise?" I asked.
"Yes."
"You promise promise?"
"Yes."
"You promise promise promise promise?"
"Belle!"
"Okay, I'll shut up now," I laughed. "Come here you great blue fuzz-ball!" I pulled him into a strong hug, but not too strong. I looked over his back and saw that his tail was wagging, well at least one of us was enjoying himself, I was the one waiting for wings to sprout painfully out of my back.
"You know, you're not a crazy as you look," Kurt chuckled as I pulled back.
"And what's that supposed to mean Blue-boy?" I gave him a little shove.
"Hey, don't push!" he shoved me back.
"This is my room, I'll do what I like!" I shoved him harder, making him fall back on the bed. "Ha! I win!"
"I think not," he grinned and in a flash and that horrible smell again, I found myself being pinned by him. "I win."
"That was cheating!"
"You never specified any rules," he shrugged.
"Rule this, fuzz-ball!" I reached up and started tickling his sides. He was laughing so much he was positively shaking. It seemed I had found a weakness in Mr Wagner. "Weakling!" I taunted over his protests for me to stop.
"Veakling am I? I'll show you!" he tickled me back, full force, with a little extra. He was using his tail too, he was a crafty one.
"That's not fair! You have an extra limb!" I squealed.
"All's fair in love and war, Liebchen," he laughed evilly. I reached out to the side and grabbed the nearest object, a pillow, and smacked him over the head with it.
"Bad! Bad elf! Sit!"
"Ouch! Vat vas that for?" he asked, rubbing his head.
"A gift, just for being you," I sat up and kissed his forehead. He wrinkled his nose a bit before smiling. "But I'm starving, where's the kitchen?"
"Just hold on and I'll 'port you there," Kurt held out a hand.
"Wait, we have to go get Rose first, 'port us outside her room, first floor please," I grinned taking a hold of his arm.
"Certainly madam, going down," he smiled.
"Later Kurt, later," I winked as we bamfed out of the room.
Shortly we found ourselves outside Rose's room and for some reason I could hear soft music in the background.
"Rose, we're going to dinner," I said as I opened the door. "Are you… coming?" my mouth hung open at the site I was presented with. It most certainly look like she and Bobby were, uhm, up to something where three is a crowd. I felt myself pale and I quickly shut the door again.
"Vat's wrong?" Kurt asked me as I came back out.
"Nothing, I wouldn't go in there if I were you, it's not for little elves to see. I should REALLY learn to knock!"
With that we bamfed to the dining room ready for dinner. We found it full of people, all waiting for us it seemed.
"You're late," Wolverine grumbled.
"A woman is never late, Logan," I commented aloofly. "Nor is she early, she arrives precisely when she means to!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just sit down will ya?"
"A little bit moody are ve, Logan?" Kurt commented lightly. He was answered with a grunt. "I'll take that as a ja."
Kurt and I sat together at the table and waited with the others. Everyone was getting hungry and irritable, thanks to the 'busy' couple who had neglected to realise it was dinnertime. My stomach growled loudly in protest and Kurt laughed.
"Hungry?"
"No, my stomach was trying out for the opera," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
"Oh cheer up!" he said and poked me in the ribs with his tail making me squeak.
"Don't do that!"
"Do what?" he poked me again. I grabbed hold of his blue tail.
"Poke me again and I'll rip your tail off, got it?" Kurt made a sulking face.
"Ja."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
After a while of giving Bobby a back-rub I got a little tired. Since I had one knee on either side of Bobby I decided to simply sit on his backside. His quite firm backside I can add. And the rest of him wasn't that bad either. I felt him tense up as I did so.
"Anything wrong?"
"Uhm, no. Nothing's wrong."
"Good to hear that. Now, how does this feel?" I said working on one of the many knots. I bend down to rub it better since it was in the neck-area.
"Oh! A little to the left. That's the spot!" Bobby said muffled. Just as he said this I looked up at the door that had just been opened.
There stood Belle, mouth open and eyes wide. She exited just as fast as she had entered. Bobby who hadn't noticed her did notice that I had stopped massaging and turned his head slightly to see what was up.
"What is it? Why did you stop?"
"Bella just walked in, saw us and practically ran out" I said while I started to work the knot again.
"So?"
"Well, for one I think she was saying something but stopped. Secondly, her eyes were less than an inch away from popping out" I said laughing. Bobby must have pictured Belle as I had described, because he started laughing too. I swear to God that I would have fallen off him if he had laughed a little harder.
I went back to massaging Bobby. While I kneaded his muscles he said something that sounded awfully like 'uhmd uh ihn eh uh-uh'…
"What? Ever tried talking like a normal human being?" I asked, trying to comprehend what he had just said, or tried to say at least. Bobby turned his head a little again.
"I said 'What'd you think she wanted?'" he said trying to give me a glare. But he wasn't very successful since I was sitting on his backside and he couldn't turn his head enough to glare.
"I don't know. She was saying something I think when she came in, but she kind of stopped when she saw us."
"What do you mean 'saw us'?"
"Bobby, think about it. Here we are lying on my bed, you half naked and me on top of you. You do the math, genius" I said.
"You've got a point." He said and then after a minute of thought Bobby spoke up again. "Hey, what time is it? Oh hell, dinner!" Bobby pushed himself up to quickly and as a result I was not to gently thrown aside.
"What the hell? What are you talking about?" Bobby had taken me by surprise. I was about to check my watch for the time, but I never got the chance thanks to a certain someone.
"Dinner! We're late for dinner!" He was standing up now and for some reason he was having a hard time to locate his shirt. I must admit, it was fun to watch him run around like a beheaded chicken.
"You looking for this?" I asked coolly, holding up his shirt. He saw it and snatched it from my hands. He quickly pulled it on and grabbed my wrist as I got off the bed. He then dragged me with him out of the room and headed towards the kitchen.
As we entered the kitchen we were met by both amused and annoyed faces. Apparently Belle hadn't managed to keep her mouth shut and had blurted out what she had seen. And of course had she gotten everything wrong.
"So, had a nice time together?" she said with a grin on her face. I looked at her, then at everyone else in the room who had been waiting for us and finally at Bobby.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Bobby said grabbing some of the pizza that was lying on the table.
"I believe she's referring to the recent incident where Belinda here walked in on you two, who were involved in some kind of activity where less clothing was involved" Beast said before engulfing an entire pizza slice at once, and somehow he managed to smile at the same time.
"What? You mean when she walked in on me and Rose?"
"Yeah Bobby, they're referring to that. They think we two were knocking boots" I said grabbing a slice of the pizza for myself.
"WHAT!"
"You know, doing the horizontal mambo, rolling in the hay, getting jiggy with it, getting down with our bad selves…" I explained before I was interrupted by Belinda.
"Yeah, I think he gets it. Don't you Bobby?"
"Uhm-hm" Bobby looked up and nodded, his mouth full of pizza.
"Never mind" Belinda said, trying to keep a straight face. Bobby looked ridicules, shoving slice after slice into his mouth. But the sight became too much for both of us as we continued to watch him practically inhale his food. We two started laughing, which made others who were in the kitchen start laughing, which led to the whole kitchen except Bobby to laugh. He stopped eating and looked up once more, this time annoyed that his meal had been interrupted.
"What? What's so funny? You never seen a person eat?" he said.
"We've seen people eat… but we've never seen someone actually… inhale their meals" I said in-between laughter's.

A/N: And now, the usual replies to reviews.
Zara the Pirate – We're very delighted that you find this story amusing.
Sue Penkivech – Well, I'm not going to tell you what Bobby was reading yet. You'll just have to read and find out in time. As for Kurt, hope you think he's less stuffy now. And look, we're being even nicer to Bobby than before. ^_^
Bailyy – Happy to hear that.
Silvergryffin – Yes, we did say 'Johnny Depp'! Well, hope this brightens your day. You shouldn't get upset, there are more chapters on the way, and they might just take a while to get there…
Pirate – It's not a crime to make up nick-names for people, most people do that. Didn't know Johnny has said that freaks are his heroes, but I have heard him say that babies are little drunks. And it's true you know; the way they can't walk straight and stuff. Wise words from a very good looking man.
Chibi Nightcrawler – Oh, it's on a 'favourite's list'? That's great to hear! Weather Zara is a male or a female is beyond me, but I thought Zara was a female. But you can never me too sure…
Lalene Brooks - OH, your review is a very flattering, in more ways than one. I never thought this co-written story would ever be compared to Rui's 'Lucky Me', which I think is a great story. I only play that this story gets to be even half the length of her story. Last I checked she was chapter 92, and hopefully be putting up 93 sometime soon.
