A/N: CharmedChosen5 says: I absolutely love this story. I like any story with Kurt in it. Usually I go for Kurt and Ororo relationship fics but this one is excellent. I don't know what Bamfed was talking about but your story does not suck, its one of the best I've read in a while. So keep up the good work and update soon.
Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that you like it. I like Ororo and all but I prefer Kurt/OC fics… I'm not jealous of her or anything. I swear! Thanks again!

Bant, if I had a dime for every review you've made for this fic… I'd have a lot of dimes. Thank yooouuu!!!!
The mess in the rec room was enough to make anyone sick. Scott and Logan made their ways across the room, being careful not to step on the candy, popcorn, or empty soda cans. They were heading for the couch where a the heavy breathing of two people could be heard over the slight hum of the TV which had been left on.
Laying on the couch, in a mess of arms and legs were the same two people that had been found in the same position the previous day. Logan suppressed a smirk while Scott shook his head.
Charlie and Kurt were sprawled out on the couch. Kurt was snoring slightly, his tail giving an occasional twitch. A twizler hung out of Charlie's mouth as she purred audibly in her sleep.
"Will you two wake up," Logan said loudly, causing Charlie to stir.
Her green eyes focused on him. "What time is it?" she asked groggily, the licorice still hanging from her mouth.
"Time for you to wake up."
Removing Kurt's arm from around her, Charlie sat up on the edge of the couch. In the early morning light she could see the mess they had made last night.
"What the hell did you two do last night," demanded Scott angrily.
Again Charlie looked around at the food covered floor and she took the candy out of her mouth. "Can't you tell? We had a kegger. Kids from all over town came."
Scott glared at her. "You better clean this mess up and fast! And when you're done you're to come to the Danger Room for training."
He stormed off while Charlie and Logan watched him go.
"What crawled up his ass and died," she asked. Logan seemed to stiffen a little and Charlie could sense that she had touched a nerve. "Did someone he was close to…" Her voice trailed off.
Logan nodded. "I'll tell you about it later. Right now you have to clean this up." He walked away, his boots could be heard even when he reached the entrance hall.
With a sigh Charlie turned to the task at hand. How in the hell am I supposed to clean all this up? An idea hit her. She concentrated and felt the now familiar tingling spread through her body. When her eyes opened again, she was about half her usual height and covered in fur. Dog's are always good for cleaning up food.
In a matter of minutes her newly acquired, long, pink tongue had licked every last bit of food off the floor. Now it was just a matter of waking up Kurt.
She placed her paws on the table and began to lick his blue face. Hmm.. He tastes like… sugar? Oh, that's from last night. While her pink tongue dragged over his face, leaving slobber all over it, she could feel his angelic markings.
Finally Kurt began to stir. "Charlie," he mumbled. "Stop it, zat tickles." This just made Charlie lick his face even more. "Okay. I'm up."
The teleporter sat up and opened his eyes. For a moment he was slightly surprised to be face-to-face with a large, black dog. His yellow eyes blinked at Charlie.
"Iz zat you, Charlie?" Charlie gave a bark and began to chase her tail. This caused Kurt to laugh. "Who cleaned up ze mess," he asked as he looked around at the now spotless floor.
Standing up on her hind legs, Charlie did a little doggie dance and gave a bark. When she landed again she closed her eyes and thought about her normal human self. It was taking less and less time for her to transform.
"Come on," said Charlie when she opened her eyes again. "I have to go to the Danger Room and I have no idea how to get there."
Kurt stood up as he asked, "Vhat time do you have to be zere?"
"Actually Scott didn't say." She checked her watch. "It's 6:45 now so I guess in fifteen minutes. There's enough time for breakfast."
Mr. Coffee gurgled to life when Charlie hit the button. Kurt sat at the table with a bowl of cereal, his tail swishing about behind him. The sweet aroma of coffee filled the room and drifted out into the halls. There was a comfortable silence between the two young mutants as Charlie sipped her coffee and Kurt munched his Kix.
"Morning," bubbled Kitty as she walked in, closely followed by Rogue who only waved.
"Good morning," said Charlie as she checked her watch again.
Kurt looked up from his bowl and greeted the two girls with a "Guten morgen."
Kitty poured some of the steaming dark liquid from Mr. Coffee into her mug. "Did you guys sleep well?"
"Like a rock," said Charlie as she skimmed the news paper. "Well, Kurt was like a rock, I had to try to sleep though his snoring."
Kitty and Rogue both raised their eyebrows and Kurt looked up again.
"I do not schnarcher," he said defensively.
Charlie grinned. "Yes you do."
"Vell you vere purring!"
"Wait," interrupted Kitty. "You two slept together again last night?"
"If by 'slept together' you mean the horizontal tango then no," said Charlie as she checked her watch again.
"Oh, we know Kurt wouldn't do that," said Rogue.
"Yeah," added Kitty. "He's too religious."
"Ah. Well then, yes we did sleep together last night but notuntil after we played Sugar High Island and Wolverine hunter."
The two girls gave Charlie a puzzling look. And Rogue sipped her coffee.
"This is good." She took another sip. "Who made it?"
"Mr. Coffee," answered Charlie simply. "If you mean who put the grinds in the filter and flipped the switch, that was me. I worked at Starbucks so I'm a pro."
Rogue nodded and continued to drink her Coffee while Kitty asked, "Are you two official yet?"
Charlie could feel her cheeks growing red and she looked to Kurt. His navy skin was getting a little darker. She raised an eyebrow at him and he blinked his yellow eyes.
"I'll be sure to make large neon signs and hang them up around the Institute when we've decided," said Charlie quickly. "Kurt, we better go if we want to get to the Danger Room on time."
The two tailed mutants hurried out of the kitchen so fast, they were a practically a blur. Kurt and Charlie walked down the corridors side-by-side.
"Charlie," Kurt began as they walked. "About vhat Kitty asked…" The Tiger striped mutant looked up to Kurt. "Vell, she's iz going to keep asking until ve give her a straight answer and-"
"And you wondering what we should tell her," Charlie finished for him.
"Ja," Kurt said, nodding. Zis iz it. It'z now or never. "Charlie, ze next time Kitty asks I vant to tell her ja.. zat ve are togezer."
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief. "So do I, Kurt," she said with a meek smile.
Kurt smiled and his three blue fingers wrapped around Charlie's hand. Their hands were cupped together as they walked.
"What are you doing," asked Charlie sounding confused.
Quickly, Kurt withdrew his hand. "I am sorry," he said quietly. I… just…"
"You were doing it wrong." Charlie took his hand in hers. "Fingers laced," she said with a smile.
Looking down Kurt saw her hold her index and middle finger together while her pinky and ring finger paired off. She looked like that was doing the Star Trek thing as she laced her the three separate groups with Kurt's own fingers.
Without another word, the two walked down the hall together. Both of them perfectly happy.
"There is a new mutant at the X-mansion," Magneto told the Brotherhood. No one ever questioned his sourced, he just knew. "Apparently she's a felinoid."
"A what," asked the youngest member. A teenager who flicked his shark lighter constantly.
"A felinoid, Pyro. Like Sabretooth," he gestured to the beast of a man who grunted. "From what little information I have on this girl she resembles a tiger."
"Woh are her powers," asked a green man with a thick Cockney accent.
Magneto sighed. "I don't know yet. All I can gather is that she would be very useful to us."
"Should we go retrieve her," the blue woman with slicked back hair asked asshe smiled seductively at Magneto.
"No. I want to find out a little more about her powers before we bring her in." He paused and looked at his cronies. "Hopefully she will not be too loyal to Charles."
Wow… a little less than six pages.
