WANDA'S LIFE
CHAPTER 7: FEELINGS AND FIRST DATES
Wanda was up in her room on her bed and holding a pillow to her chest. She couldn't believe she had just unloaded like that...or that she actually liked Kurt, it wasn't like she didn't find him attractive, in fact she did, she just got used to thinking of him as her friend and now with this...she didn't know what to think. She placed the pillow on her face wondering what to do know when there came a knock on her door.
'Who can that be? If it's Kitty there's no way I'm going to talk to her until I calm down, and if it's Jean then I just want to be alone.' She thought, but when she her Kurt's voice called out her name, her heart picked up speed. 'Oh god did Kitty tell him everything? I'm going to kill her if she did.' Wanda put away the pillow and sat up. "Come on in Kurt."
He just teleported inside instead of using the door, she had to smile at his style of not doing things the usual way... it was one of the things she always liked about him. He looked nervous to her and she knew that something was up and she felt her insides knotting up like a vise was gripping them. He walked over to her bed and sat down next to her, his all serious attitude wasn't doing much for her nerves. "Vanda...I...vell...I overheard vhat you said to Kitty."
'Oh God kill me now!' Wanda had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life. "Look Kurt I-uh-I don't know what you're talking about I mean sure I said a few things to Kitty, but, well, I uh..." She was trying to think of something anything but couldn't.
Kurt smiled at her and she stopped thinking for a moment. "I zink you should know zat...vell...vhen you said zose zings about me...it made me zink...how much I like you...and...I mean more zhen just a friend..."
Wanda sat on her bed hearing the words but not really sure if she just had heard them. She felt the knot in her belly go and she just looked at him and couldn't believe this was real. "You...you mean that?"
Kurt nodded as his tail twitched nervously, he had been thinking of how to do this and he figured the direct approach was best. "So...do you...do you vant to go out tomorrow? See a movie maybe?" He didn't know why he was so nervous he knew she liked him but this was the first girl he asked out and he wasn't sure what he was doing.
Wanda smiled at him with a huge happy smile on her face. "Of course I will Kurt." He breathed a sigh of relieve.
"Vell...I'll see you later zen." He told her getting up he wasn't sure what else to say so he figured this was as good a time to leave while he had made a good impression.
"Kurt, wait." Wanda said and stood up and got close to him. She wasn't sure what she was doing exactly but she kissed his cheek. Kurt blushed under the fur and he could see Wanda doing the same. "Thanks for asking." Kurt nodded mutely a hand going to his cheek and a grin on his face and he left her to her room. Wanda was silent for a moment and let the last few moments run through her mind then she jumped up and shouted. She couldn't believe it; she hadn't felt this happy since she first came here. She had to tell someone and there was only one person she had to talk to. 'JEAN!' She thought loudly.
'What?' Jean sent back annoyed, she hated it when people 'shouted' like that, and sometimes it gave her little headaches.
'Where are you? I need to talk to you.'
'In my room...does this have to do with Kitty?' Her friends asked, she remembered how Wanda was and Jean was wondering what was going on.
'Well...not directly but that's not important, I'll be right there don't go anywhere.' Wanda rushed out of her room and to Jean's and found her at her desk with homework on it. "You'll never guess what happened."
"What?" Jean asked her, she had never seen Wanda this excited and was wondering what was going on.
"I said guess." Wanda smiled.
Jean rolled her eyes; she hated it when Wanda played this game. "Give me a hint."
"I got a date tonight and you'll never guess with who?"
Jean blinked a few times. "Scott again?" She asked worried. Wanda snorted and nearly laughed so Jean felt relief at that. "That guy in your math class that keeps giving you long looks?"
"David? No not him."
"Scott's friend Paul?"
"No guess again." Wanda smiled and jumped onto her bed.
Jean was tired of this and smirked. "Duncan Mathews."
"EW! Jean! Now you're just being mean, it's Kurt."
"Kurt Wanger?" Jean asked her surprised at that. She didn't know Wanda liked Kurt in that way.
"You know any other Kurt? I know what you're thinking." Wanda sighed and stretched out on Jean's bed. "I was telling Kitty off because of the way she's been treating Kurt and before I knew it...I realized that I had feelings for Kurt. I mean he's so sweet and kind and I love his accent...so we're going to the movies." She sat up and looked at her friend. "But...I'm a little nervous."
"You weren't with Scott." Jean told her, she remembered how easy those two had been.
Wanda bit her lower lip. "That was different...I mean...there wasn't anything between us and it was just like what we normally do...but with Kurt...God Jean he makes me feel all nervous but in a good way." She thought about the impending date and she got an idea. Maybe she could kill two birds with one stone. "Hey you want to go doubles? Me and Kurt and you and someone else?"
"I'd love to help you out Wanda, but who would I ask? I mean with the whole Duncan thing I've pretty much stayed away from his crowd and who can I ask on short notice?"
Wanda hid her smile. "Ask Scott, I mean you guys could go as just friends and I really would like someone there with me. Please."
Jean thought about it and with one look at Wanda's pleading look she crumbled. "Alright I'll ask him later but if he says no then I won't be able to go."
That was all she needed and she jumped off the bed and hugged her best friend. "Oh thank you Jean! You won't regret this. I promise." She ran out of her room and looked around for Kurt she would need his help for this, she found him in the kitchen fixing himself a smack. "Hey Kurt can I ask you something?"
Kurt, who was fixing himself a multi-layered sandwich looked over at her curious about what she was thinking. "Ja, sure. Vhat is it Vanda?"
She sat down next to him. "Well...I was a little nervous about this date...so I asked Jean if she wanted to go double, I hope you don't mind."
Kurt shrugged he didn't mind in fact he was actually kind of nervous himself, this was going to be his first date and he wasn't sure what to do. "Ja zat's fine, who is she taking?"
"That's the thing...I told her she should ask Scott and I was wondering if you could ask Scott to say yes. That way they will end up together with us." Wanda smiled and Kurt had to laugh at how she never seemed to give up.
"So Ze Plan is still on huh?" Kurt said smiling. "Ja okay I'll ask him okay?"
"Thanks Kurt...I'll be looking forward to tomorrow night." She told him as she left. Kurt just watched her leave and a smile was on his face. After he ate he hunted down Scott and found him in the living room watching the news.
"Scott can I ask you a favor?" Kurt said sitting down next to him.
"I guess, what do you need?"
"Vell...Vanda asked me out." He began. Scott hadn't seen that coming but he was glad for the two of them. "But she vas kind of nervous and asked Jean if she vould double. Vanda said zat Jean is going to ask you so vhen she does please say yes." Kurt pleaded to him.
"W-what? Jean's going to ask me out on a date." He was surprised beyond belief but the idea wasn't bad in fact he could enjoy it.
"Yea so vill you?"
"Well...alright, I'll do it Kurt."
"Thanks man!" Kurt said jumping up and hugging him.
"Alright, alright! Get off me already." Scott said in good humor.
"Uh...zere's von other thing too...I've uh...never been on a date...vhat do I do?" Kurt asked worried that he might mess up.
"Oh boy." Scott said turning off the TV. "Well this might take a little time...but here's a few things you should know..." Scott did his best to help Kurt out and answer all and any questions he had.
-The next night-
Jean and Wanda were getting each other ready. Wanda was still a bit nervous and Jean was helping her with her make-up and nails, since Wanda had done the same for her earlier. "I hope he likes this new shade of lipstick." Wanda said looking in the mirror with the scarlet lipstick on.
"I'm sure he'll love it, we better hurry before the boys start getting impatient." Jean told her.
"Yeah, and we don't want to miss the movie too." Wanda agreed.
Down stairs by the front door Kurt was pacing by this time and he was making Scott nervous. "Kurt, knock it off already, just relax already."
"I'm sorry, zhis is my first date." He told the older boy. "I don't vant to mess zhis up."
"You're not going to mess this up." Scott tried to assure him. Just then the girls came down stairs and both boys couldn't help but like what they saw. Scott was momentarily stunned by how Wanda had made sure that Jean got more prepared for this with a different shade of lipstick and her hair tied back in a ponytail and he sore Jean was wearing something a little more revealing then she was comfortable with. Wanda had insisted that if she was going all out for Kurt so was Jean.
Jean felt a little uncomfortable in the tight leather jeans and low cut shirt but she noticed how Scott was looking at her and she blushed. Scott had always thought Jean was pretty but now...he never saw her as beautiful until this moment and found himself thinking of Jean in ways then you normally don't think of a friend but put those thoughts aside as fast as possible. Knowing someone who could read your mind had a few disadvantages.
Kurt couldn't stop staring at Wanda who was looking a lot like Jean only with a red top on. "Well Kurt, how do I look?" She asked striking a little poss.
"Uh...you look great!" He said honestly and she smiled and grabbed his arm and led him outside.
Scott led Jean to the door and didn't notice how he put his hand on the small of her back. Jean did but strangely she didn't mind, in fact she liked it. "You look great too Jean." He told her and even with the red tint of his vision she swore she blushed, but it was kind of hard to tell when all you see is red, literally.
As they drove off Kitty had watched them from the window in the living room and sighed. "What's wrong Kitty?" Ororo asked seeing the petit brunette.
"Oh it's just that everyone had a date except me...I just feel a little left out you know?"
"Who has a date?" Logan asked coming in, he heard part of that and wasn't sure what that was about.
"Jean and Scott are going on a double date with Kurt and Wanda." Kitty explained and was surprised at the look Logan had on his face.
"Trouble maker is goin' out with Elf?" Logan asked shocked. Sure he liked the kid and he figured there was something with Jean and Scott, but Wanda and Kurt...he didn't see it coming.
"You don't have a problem with that do you Logan?" Ororo asked slightly amused, she knew that Logan considered the kids and especially Wanda like family. So did she actually, Xavier was like a father to Wanda, and Ororo was like a mother she never knew and Logan was like the uncle so when Ororo saw the look on Logan's face it was sweet to see him show how much he cared about her. Ever since she first came here Logan and her had a strong relationship and Logan always was protective of those he cared about. He stalked out of the room and Ororo wished Kurt luck with facing Logan when he got back.
The couples made it to the theater and they chose an action flick, the girls paid for tickets and the boys paid for the food, Kurt didn't luck out on that with the huge popcorn and drink he got for himself. The movie was alright and during the movie Wanda noticed something brushing against her leg and noticed Kurt's tail coming out of the hologram and was wrapping around her leg. It was strange but it also felt nice. She linked her arm in his and leaned against him. Kurt was grinning to himself while Wanda got close to him like that, he only wished he could place his arm over her, but maybe that could be done next time.
Jean and Scott were next to each other although Scott couldn't help to keep his attention on the film, he kept on stealing glances at Jean. There were times when the reflective surface of his shades came in handy since no one could see his eyes. He knew that he and Jean were close but lately...he thought he was feeling more then just friendship with her but he wasn't sure if that would ruin their friendship.
Okay so he and Wanda worked out fine after, but he didn't feel the way he felt with Wanda that he now felt with Jean. He pushed it aside for now trying to focus on the movie although it wasn't easy. Jean who was sharing some popcorn with Scott was sure she felt something from him. She wasn't trying to pry or anything but being in such close proximity didn't help. That and she thought he might have been looking at her but it was hard to tell with the darkness and his shades. When she went for the popcorn he had too and their hands touched and for a minute she did feel something.
It was kind of like a small charge and she wasn't sure if it was from her powers or...something else. She let him take some then she did, but after that she was finding it a little difficult to focus on the film. She though back to how Kitty had said Scott was handsome and while trying to look at him now, she had to admit she was right...she just wondered why she never noticed it yet or why she had just now.
Before they knew it the movie had ended and they made their way to Scott's car. "Hey this was nice, can we stay out or do we have to go back?" Wanda asked as she and Kurt climbed into the back.
"Unfortunately it's getting close to curfew." Jean said. "And I don't think the Professor will like us being out so late on a school night."
Wanda sighed. "Yeah I guess."
When they got back to the mansion Kurt and Wanda teleported inside while Scott parked the car and he and Jean walked back in. He was debating saying something not sure of how Jean might take it but he figured he might as well. "This was fun Jean."
"Yeah I had a nice time." She agreed.
"So...uh...do you want to try that again sometime? You know go out?" He nervously asked her.
This caught Jean by surprised. 'Is he asking me out on a date? A real date?' She wasn't sure what to say but then again she did enjoy her time with him and she had to admit lately she had been thinking of Scott in a different light. "Yeah, I think I'd like that Scott."
Upstairs Kurt and Wanda were talking to her room, Kurt had insisted since they lived together this was his way of walking her 'home'. Wanda loved how Kurt could be so old school romantic, it was kind of refreshing and nice. "I had a nice time Kurt." She told him as they got to her door and opened it. "Can we do this again some time?"
"Ja, I'd love to." He told her. Wanda smiled and then leaned in close and turned off his holowatch and then in his true form she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. It was light at first then a little more pressure was placed. Kurt was ecstatic since this was his first kiss, ever. He placed his hands on her hips and she placed hers on his arms then pulled away.
"Wow...that was...wow." Wanda said blushing from the kiss.
"Ja...I know vhat you mean." Kurt said thankful his fur didn't show his own blush. Wanda gave him one last look as she closed the door and Kurt sighed to himself. Then he heard a growl from behind him and he froze. He slowly looked behind him and saw Logan standing there with his arms crossed and he gulped at the look he was getting.
Logan walked close up to him and leaned in close. "Look bub, I don't mind you datin' Wanda, but know this...you hurt her and I'll skin you alive...got that elf?"
"Ja, I do." Kurt said fearfully and nodded quickly. Logan grunted and walked off leaving Kurt to lean against the wall as his heart started to beat again after Logan was gone. "Vhat have I gotten myself into?" He asked himself then ht thought if Wanda was worth death by Wolverine and after a minute he decided she was worth it all right. He touched his lips. Boy was she worth it he thought.
