"Meine liebe gute! Logan look at all the decorations! The lights! And the midgets as elves! Es ist so wunderbar!" Kurt exclaimed under his wide brimmed hatand dark trench coat.
Logan winched at the volume of his exclamations, they were a little embarrassing, "Kurt, quit pointing, they'll see your hands."
"But Logan, look! They're making candy canes!" Kurt pointed and ran towards some candy factory across the hall of stores.
Logan grabbed Kurt's collar, reeling him in, "Jebus Kurt, you're not two, stop acting like you've never been to a mall before during Christmas."
"But, I haven't." Kurt replied, still with a silly grin plastered to his face, eyes wild with excitement. His white make up had started to crack a little around his mouth.
"…You haven't?" Logan asked in disbelief.
"I haven't." Kurt confirmed, "Can we go to the teddy bear shop now?"
Logan took a deep breath to calm himself down and replied rather steadily, "We'll go to the teddy bear shop as soon as we've got a couple things straight. One, keep your mittens inside your sleeve, nobody can see your hands or your make up's useless. Two, keep your head down, your make up's starting to crack. We clear?"
"Crystal. Let's go!"
Kurt bounded through the mall to the teddy bear shop called, "Vicky's Teddies" and began gathering several into his arms. Logan wasn't far behind, ignoring the stares, giggles, and amused looks being shot in his direction.
"Kurt. What. Are. You. Doing?" Logan hissed at Kurt and started putting the teddy bears back on the shelf that Kurt had gathered in his arms. This only prompted Kurt to keep moving along the shelves and pick more teddies.
"Logan, look at all the teddies! They are all so spectacular!" Kurt exclaimed grabbing more teddies than Logan could put back.
Logan was about to reprimand Kurt when he noticed how silent the store was. He turned around, letting Kurt chatter away to himself, and saw that everyone was staring at the two of them. Logan, for a fleeting moment, thought that they were staring at them for being the only two males in the store, but when a small girl pointed to Kurt and asked her mother why he had a tail, Logan's suspicions were confirmed: Kurt's disguise had come undone.
Kurt, in the meantime, had stopped hoarding teddies bears long enough to turn to Logan and ask, "Are we in trouble?"
Logan took a breath and nodded, "Yeah, bub, we're in trouble."
Kurt looked at Logan directly, his sun glasses slipping the down his nose, revealing his yellow eyes, and Logan looked at Kurt, raising one eyebrow. The two made eye contact briefly and then bolted. Kurt dropped the teddies and pulled off his disguise, covering up that he was a mutant was useless now.
A woman finally got around to screaming as Logan and Kurt politely pushed their way to the exit of the store with a cart already filled halfway with presents. The two ran through the mall, past various stands selling relatively useless items, and clothing stores, attempting to evade the police officers that were sure to have been notified by then.
Logan was pushing the cart in his hands so fast that every time he took a turn a present flew out of the cart.
"Hey Logan! Careful! You're losing all the presents!" Kurt complained, huffing from behind Logan.
Logan didn't care, he simply didn't want to get caught at this point. He would have liked nothing best to just leave the cart, but he knew that Kurt would never forgive him if he at least didn't try.
"It's for charity." Logan called over his shoulder, steering the cart around yet another shopping mother and child, and then in the opposite direction around a corner.
Logan was glad when the entrance of the parkade came into view. He sped up some more, he was not going to get caught in a mall.
"Logan! Wait up!" Kurt called from some distance behind Logan, "I can't run that fast!"
Logan didn't care anymore for Kurt right now than he did the presents. In fact, Kurt's constant whining was making Logan grind his teeth and increase his speed a little more. Some few, choice words would be said if Kurt would be running next to him.
