Chapter 36: Just Kiss Already!
Kurt opened his mouth to protest just as Alara stuck her head through the glass. Soon she stood on the other side of the wall, alarms blaring loudly. She turned back to normal and held perfectly still for a moment, the cuts on her body starting to appear. Then, slowly she turned towards Kurt, whose tears had stopped in surprise, though one tear sat, drying on his cheek. She walked over to him stiffly and raised her arm to his face, stroking his cheek and wiping away the tear gently. Then she wrapped her arms around him, giving him a big hug. He hugged her back and felt calm, happy, like someone would always be there for him. Alara smiled softly and covered her eyes with his neck His soft fur felt soothing on her scratched face.
They stood there in a crushing hug for a moment, the alarms blaring even louder and red lights flashing. Suddenly, Logan stood at the door, panting heavily from running. The alarms ceased and Logan scanned the room for the two. When he caught sight of them hugging, he growled. Kurt's back faced him and Alara's bruised and irritated arms gave Logan the wrong impression.
"You don't know how to quit when you're a head, do you Elfy?"
But Kurt didn't look back at Logan. He didn't even flinch. Alara opened her eyes and smiled softly at Logan. She used an arm that was wrapped around Kurt's waist to wave, then she put it back and laid her cheek on his shoulder. He laid the side of his head on top of hers, trying like hell not to think of how badly Logan was going to beat him in the Danger Room later. Logan smiled softly and sighed. Just then, Scott burst in.
"I heard the alarms go off and came as fast as I-."
"SHHHHH!" Logan hissed. "You're screwin it up! They're comforting each other!"
"Oh. Right," Scott nodded. They paused a moment awkwardly before Scott leaned over to Logan and whispered, "How long are we supposed to let them comfort each other before we can tell Alara to get back in her box?"
Logan shrugged.
"I guess we should come back in a few minutes."
They looked at each other, then turned and walked out.
"FIVE MINUTES IS ALL YOU GET SINCE YOU CAN DO IT IN SEVEN AND I DON'T WANT YOU DOING THAT!" Logan roared before he walked out.
Alara laughed and rolled her eyes. She stepped back from Kurt a bit, keeping her arm around his waist. She ran her other hand through his blue hair and kept it on the back of his head. He smiled at her tearfully, both of his arms around her waist. They stared into each other's eyes, not noticing the door creak open behind them. Suddenly, Kurt pulled her closer to him, leaning forward. She leaned forwards and they were about to kiss when a voice at the door yelled, "COME ON! HURRY UP AND KISS ALL READY!" followed by a loud, "SHHHHHH!" and a thump. They turned and saw Kitty, Rogue, Tabby, and Jean in the doorway. They smiled at them and shook their heads, in disbelief.
"AWWWWW DAMN IT!" Tabby yelled. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AREN'T GOING TO KISS AFTER ALL THAT! THAT'S A TOTAL RIP OFF! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASTED, LIKE, FIFTEEN MINUTES JUST FOR THAT!"
She stood up and stormed off, ranting down along the hallway. Kitty and Rogue smiled at each other and laughed. Then they turned and left with Jean following close behind muttering, "I don't know why I had to stay to watch that. I mean, it wasn't even that interesting…."
Alara and Kurt turned back to each other and smiled. They leaned forward yet again, their lips actually pressing together, when Logan busted in.
"I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THEM FIVE MINUTES ALONE TOGETHER! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEM!"
They turned their heads slowly towards Logan's brilliantly red face. They smiled at him, Kurt out of fear and Alara because the uncomfortable factor sky rocketed, but they still kept their arms wrapped around each other.
"I still don't understand," Scott mumbled, walking in. "why Jean would want to stay to watch these two. I mean, they didn't even do anything."
Logan folded his arms, growling.
"You guys BETTER have not done anything or I'll make sure that both of you are sent to the Danger Room…. At separate times," he added when they looked at each other, smiling.
They laughed and Alara cleared her throat.
"Kurt, could you do me a favor and teleport me back into that little glass box? I think I'm supposed to stay in there."
Kurt nodded and murmured, "I'd love to."
They disappeared in a flash and reappeared in the glass box, their lips pressing tightly together. Kurt ran his fingers through her hair and they kissed again, deeply. Logan roared and slammed his fists on the glass, causing it to crack. Kurt and Alara laughed and looked at the giant crack in the wall.
"Man, Logan. Do you know how much that will cost to fix?" Alara scolded jokingly.
"Yeah, Logan. You should vatch that temper of yours."
"ELF! GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW! I THINK YOU AND I NEED TO CHAT!"
Kurt and Alara looked at each other, smiling.
"Have fun," Alara murmured, sarcastically.
"I vill," Kurt replied, jokingly.
They kissed lightly one more time before Kurt bamphed and reappeared next to Logan, who's forehead was pressed against the glass, steam fogging up the place around his face. Logan turned stiffly towards Kurt. Kurt smirked.
"Hey Logan. Vhat's wrong vith you?"
Logan roared and tried to grab Kurt, who dodged and started running for the door. Scott tried blocking, but Kurt bamphed around him and disappeared into his room of the mansion.
