Disclaimer: I own them. I so own them. As a matter of fact, they are
right over there, in my room and I can take them out whenever I want
to—wait a minute. Those are the DVDs. Never mind. Looks like I don't own
them and that they really do belong to someone else. Darn.
A/N: I know what you guys are thinking. "Another chapter and so quickly? It's a miracle!" I know, I know. Anyway, this chapter may be considered short too since it's concentrating mainly on Lance and Kitty and then Kurt and Wanda. I seem to be finding it easier for these chapters to just focus on only a few people each chapter instead of sections that go back and forth between them. I also know that I won't be able to keep that up throughout the entire story but for now, I've been able to update quicker like this. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to review!
Ah hell, was Lance's first though when he saw Kurt. Trying to hide this fact, he ran a hand through his hair and glanced at Kitty. Not that he thought it worked that well, but there was nothing he could really do about that and he knew it.
But really, running into one of Kitty's teammates hadn't been what he had in mind when he agreed to go for ice cream. He'd been thinking more along the lines of sitting at a table with just Kitty and no one bugging them. He should've known that wouldn't happen. The big question was how was Kurt going to take this?
Kurt glanced from Kitty to Lance and back again. There'd been a time when he'd first come to Bayville that he'd hoped for something more than friendship to happen between him and Kitty. He'd realized though that the two of them would never be more than just friends and he'd moved on. He and Amanda had been together for awhile and though he knew that he'd once thought of her as a girlfriend, now all he felt towards her was friendship. And though Kurt didn't know it, now there was Wanda. Pietro knew it. Rogue knew it. Kurt and Wanda had yet to realize it.
He let out a breath and shifted a bit uncomfortably at the silence.
"So, um, you two are back together." He finally said.
"Yeah." Lance replied, looking over at him. There was another pause. Then Kurt decided to ask a question that could very well cause Kitty to try and kill him for interfering. But the way Kurt saw it, since Kitty didn't have an older brother or anything, if he didn't ask then who would? He looked over at Lance and raised an eyebrow at him.
"You got something to say?"
"Are you going to hurt her?" As he asked this, he saw Kitty's eyes widen out of the corner of his eye. It didn't occur to him that if he and Kurt fought without powers, he could very well probably beat him up. Instead he considered the question and then answered it as best he could.
"I can't guarantee that it won't happen but I can guarantee that I'm going to do my best not to." Lance answered. Kurt nodded and a smile crossed his face. That's all he'd wanted to hear.
"Okay then."
"That's it?" Kitty blurted. When Lance and Kurt both glanced at her, she added, "Not that it's like a bad thing or anything." She smiled. "Thanks, Kurt. You don't think you'd be able to like get Scott to so easygoing about this, do you?" Now Kurt looked at her with both eyebrows raised and an amused grin on his face.
"The words 'Scott' and 'easygoing' practically never go in the same sentence, Kitty." He told her. Lance snorted, his agreement obvious. "Unless you catch him on one of those rare days." Kurt added. Kitty wrinkled her nose.
"Sure." She said.
"I'll let you guys get going now though. I was just going to get some water and you probably want your ice cream." Kurt said, completely understanding the need for a sugar rush. "See ya." He told them, walking past them and to the counter. That's when Kitty saw Wanda sitting at a table, a bowl in front of her. On the back of the seat across from her hung Kurt's jacket. Kitty's eyes lit with speculation as she turned to Lance.
"You think they're here on like a date?" she asked. Lance glanced at Wanda and then Kurt. He'd never have suspected it, and even though there'd been that period of time where Toad had seemed depressed over the fact that his "sugar muffin" had moved on, he still couldn't be sure. So he shrugged.
"In this town? Who knows?" he replied. He put his arm around her shoulders. "Come on, Kitty. I promised you ice cream."
Wanda glanced up as Kurt got back to the table, setting two glasses of water down. She shook her head.
"I still don't get why you had to go get water." She muttered.
"Wanda, it's a fact of life that when you eat ice cream, you're going to get thirsty." He replied with a grin.
"Well, that's stupid. You'd think it'd be the opposite, considering the stuff can melt into a liquid-y goop."
"And sometimes it just melts down to a liquid. One of life's mysteries. Drink up." Kurt pushed the glass in her direction. Wanda raised an eyebrow as she looked up to see Lance and Kitty walking towards a table. She glanced back at Kurt.
"Lance and Kitty?" she asked. Kurt looked up and followed her gaze before nodding.
"Yeah. I ran into them. They're back together. That's what took me so long. I had to ask him about his intentions." He told her, using the same phrase that Pietro had used when he'd asked Kurt about Wanda.
"Oh." Wanda said. She looked down at her water. She didn't see why he'd need to ask what Lance's intentions or whatever were towards Kitty. Well, there was one possibility of course, though Wanda didn't like it. She fought back a sigh as she came to the same conclusion that she had the other day.
Unless he liked Kitty.
Wanda frowned. She really hated the feeling she got in her stomach whenever she had that thought.
