Chapter 25: What Did You Do?
Kurt smiled and nodded, walking out the door quickly. Behind him, he heard Logan grumbling in the kitchen. As Kurt walked slowly towards Alara's room to pick up an extra change of clothes for her, he heard a loud, "WHAT WAS HE THINKING?" come from the kitchen and he began to quicken his pace. Suddenly, a loud rumble shook the ground and Kurt turned around to see Logan charging after him.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FUZZY!"
"Aaaaaaah!" Kurt cried, bamphing into Alara's room.
As Kurt rustled through her dresser, frantically trying to find an outfit for her, he heard Logan outside the door.
"Fuuuuuuuzzy? Are you in there? Come out. I won't hurt you too badly."
Kurt shuddered and grabbed an outfit he thought she would look nice in and yelled to Logan, "Vanna know vhat else I'm thinking?"
A low growl came from outside the door as Kurt switched on his holowatch.
"I'm thinking that I'm gonna go over to the Brotherhood's building, find Alara, and then she and I are going to get married and ve vill get to have so much fun together. Maybe Qvicksilver would like to join us as vell. The more the merrier!"
Logan roared and kicked in the door just as Kurt bamphed over to the Brotherhood's house. He growled and muttered, "That's two more trips to the Danger Room for that blue, furry creep."
When Kurt arrived at the Brotherhood's house, he could sense something that made his fur stand on end.
She IS here, Kurt thought. I can feel her.
He walked up to the door and knocked loudly. After no one answered, he rang the doorbell several times. Finally, when the door swung open, Pietro stood there in his boxer shorts. His hair was scraggly and his eyes were only half-open.
"What do you want, Fuzzy Boy?" he grumbled sleepily.
"I vant to speak vith Alara," Kurt muttered, looking away.
Pietro's eyes popped wide open and he smirked.
"Oooooh. So YOU'RE the one she was talking about."
"Hmmm?"
"Yeah. She came to me in tears. As soon as I opened the door, she grabbed me and started crying. So I comforted her, being the kind person I am. And then she spent the night in my bed. We had a great time together," he replied, grinning widely with a gloating expression on his face.
Kurt growled.
"Vhat did you do to her?"
Pietro snorted.
"As if it's any of your business."
Kurt's eyes got wide and he roared at Pietro, "VHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?"
Pietro stumbled back slightly in surprise and Kurt swallowed hard, startled that he had actually said something so loudly.
"Fine, if you must know," Pietro grumbled, regaining his logic. "We didn't do anything. She just slept next to me in bed. She basically just used me for body heat."
Pietro smiled dreamily.
"She's so soft and cuddly."
Kurt stared at Pietro as he stared dreamily into space.
Vhat the hell is wrong vith Pietro? Kurt thought.
Suddenly, Pietro shook his head and looked sternly at Kurt.
"What are you doing here?"
Kurt blinked at Pietro.
"I came to see Alara and give her some clothes."
Pietro smirked.
"I can give them to her. You can see her at school today."
Kurt growled.
"I vant to see her now."
Pietro shook his head.
"Sorry. She's unavailable. She's in my bed, sleeping."
"So vhat? I can just teleport up there and I can see her that vay."
Pietro glared at Kurt.
"Fine. Go ahead and teleport up there. See if I care."
Suddenly, Kurt bamphed up to the top story of the building. Pietro slammed the front door and darted up to his room to find Kurt standing in the hallway, looking for the door she was behind. He bamphed in and out of rooms randomly seeing Lance sleeping in his bed, Wanda sleeping in her bed, Toad in his bed, Fred in his bed, and the final room he went into, he saw Pietro with Alara. Alara slept peacefully on his chest and Pietro sat, propped up against the headboard. Kurt growled.
"Oooooh. What's wrong, Fuzzy? Jealous?"
"No. I vas just vondering how many drinks you had to shove down her throat before she vould even consider sleeping in your bed."
"None," Pietro chuckled. "She jumped in on her own free will."
Kurt's face turned from slightly sad, to furious.
"You are a liar and I vant Alara back."
"She was never yours in the first place."
"She belongs at the institution vith us."
"She fits in just fine here."
Kurt and Pietro stared at each other, glaring as much as two people could glare. They both looked at Alara when she sighed in her sleep and snuggled against Pietro's chest. She put her hand beneath her chin on his chest and rubbed her thumb back and forth for a minute, feeling his skin. Then her eyes popped open. She lifted her head to see Pietro and Kurt staring at her.
"Um… what are you guys doing in here?" she asked.
"Well," Pietro replied. "This is my room."
"And I vas sent out to find you and give you clothes for today and bring you home," Kurt murmured.
Kurt and Pietro locked eyes and stared at each other. If looks could have killed, they would have both been dead. Alara slid out of the covers and walked over to where Kurt stood. Kurt turned his eyes to look at her and Pietro followed her. Kurt's eyes widened as he saw what she wore. He couldn't seem to pry his eyes off of her, especially as she walked towards him. She smiled and held out her hand. He robotically held out the clothes and she took them silently. Pietro and Kurt watched as she walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.
