VvV Christmas Secrets VvV

Ororo sat quietly down at the dinner table, trying to ignore the curious stares she received as Logan sat next to her, the mutants all watched them both closely as if waiting expectantly for something to happen between the two of them. They shared a quick glance to each other and ignored the other glances shared by the rest of the table, turning quickly back to their food with a small sigh. But just as everyone began to return to their meals, their heads all shot up as the kitchen door opened and Kitty shyly poked her head around it, biting her lip as everyone watched her curiously. She drew back and closed the door shut, moving down the hallway to lean against the wall as she bit back her tears, trying to fight them back, "I won't cry! I will not cry!" But as she spoke, Kitty slowly slid down the wall and buried her head into her hands, shaking slowly back and forth as her tears fell.

She looked up as someone came towards her and Rogue knelt down in front of Kitty with two plates in hand, "come on Kit, lets go eat in our room, what do ya think?" Kitty wiped her eyes gently and nodded as she stood up, following Rogue to the stairs where she froze. Piotr looked down from the stairs at Kitty, his eyes red and sore and he smiled sadly before walking past her, his heart in his mouth as he looked straight into those tear filled eyes; he so wanted to go to her and wipe them away, but it was over.

Kitty shook her head as Piotr moved towards her, and she let the tears fall freely, "no Piotr don't, I cant anymore."

Piotr looked at her confusedly, "Katya? Vhy not? Vat is wrong?" he moved towards her again but stopped as Kitty shook her head vigorously.

"No Piotr, it's over."

"Vat…vat do you mean?" Piotr's eyes slowly began to fill with tears as he realised what was happening, "Katya?"

"It's over Piotr…us, me and you, our relationship. Everything!" Kitty's voice got stronger with every word she spoke until her voice was nothing more than a shout, an order, a way for her to try and release the guilt. "THERE IS NO US! I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE PIOTR! IT'S OVER!" Kitty turned as she shouted and walked out of his dorm, trying desperately to ignore the sobs she heard as Piotr broke down in tears, turning back once to whisper, "I'm so, so sorry…"

VvV End of Flashback VvV

Rogue looked in pity at Piotr but linked arms with Kitty as they kept walking, smiling at her gently trying to get a response but as soon as they entered their room Kitty fell onto her bed, hugging the linen close to her chest. "I broke his heart Rogue, how could I do that to him? After all we've been through?"

"Ya nevah thought this would happen, ya just fell fohr a great gah (guy) but couldn't fohrget that there was an even bettah gah out there fohr ya…he understands." Rogue moved to Kitty's bed and sat down on it, stroking her back comfortingly.

"How do you know that!" Kitty's voice became a wail and she gripped the sheets as if she was trying to squeeze her emotions into it.

"Because he let ya go Kit…he let ya go because he knew it was hopeless ta trah and make ya stay; he knew ya felt somethang fohr Lance that ya could nevah give Piotr; that Lance was tha one true person in your life. Piotr couldn't give ya in lahfe what Lance gives ya and he knew it, even though he trahd so desperately to hahde behahnd it he had ta give up in tha end or things would get even worse fohr ya and even more difficult fohr him ta give you up."

Kitty stopped crying and looked up at Rogue in awe, "how do you know that?"

Rogue smiled mischievously, "well…when ya have tha logic of tha Prof. tha caring emotions of Ororo, and tha thoughts of Piotr mixed in ya head…ah think ya mahght just have quite a good ahdea."

"S'pose…"

"Trust meh Kit, he knew he had ta and he did it fohr ya." Rogue smiled gently at Kitty, who sighed and smiled back.

"I, like, know what you mean…and I'm glad he did it, well…I regret having to leave him, but I couldn't stay with him…our relationship would be such a lie."

"Ah know Kit, but he'll learn ta forget in tahme." Rogue smiled warmly at Kitty as she sighed again and looked up at the ceiling with a clouded, lustful gaze as her thoughts returned to Lance. "So, how's tha gah treating ya?"

"Oh…well, we haven't seen each other and well, like, he doesn't know about Piotr, he doesn't know anything about it…"

"Yahre kidding meh!"

"Uh…no…" Kitty bit her bottom lip anxiously and sat up, leaning back on her elbows as she looked at Rogue worriedly, "you think that I should, like, go and, like tell him?"

Rogue rolled her eyes and immediately stood up, grabbing Kitty's hand as she did and pulling her out of the door, "ahre ya completely mad Kit?"

"Where are we, like, going?"

"Were do ya think!"

Rogue looked at Kitty as she walked and smiled reassuringly as the poor girl stuttered, "no! We, like…no! Can't…Rogue!"

"Too late," Rogue knocked on Lance's bedroom door and was greeted by Remy who walked out of the door next to his. "Oh great."

"Chere! Y' came t' see Remy!"

"Sorrah Swamp Rat, no such thing," Rogue smirked as Remy's smile turned to a sulky frown and he began to mutter french under his breath. "Stop sulking, ah can see ya once ah've shoved Kit into Lance's room."

Remy's sulk vanished and he smiled brightly before ramming on Lance's room, "OI! GET OUT HERE! Y' RUINING REMY'S CHANCE WID HIS CHERE!" Lance's face appeared at the door and he groaned as he was confronted by Remy, who quickly shoved Kitty inside the room and slammed the door shut.

Rogue giggled as Remy turned to her with a triumphant expression, "did ya think ta get everyone outa tha room?" Remy frowned and opened his mouth to ask questions but was stopped short as he was hit on the head.

"Oh yeh Remy, get me thrown out and all," Pietro frowned sulkily and ran off down the corridor as Remy rubbed his head gently.

"If ya want meh ta tend ta ya, ya don't have ta put on an act," Rogue laughed again as Remy stopped rubbing his head and smirked cheekily before pulling her into his room and throwing John out.

"Alright! I'm going!"

VvVvVvV

Lance stared at Kitty as she stumbled into his arms and he fell backwards onto his bed with Kitty landing on top of him, they both sat up and Kitty blushed having discovered she was straddling Lance's lap. But as she made to move Lance delicately held her hips and pulled her closer to his body, smiling as she blushed a deeper red as he leant towards her slightly parted lips. He suddenly stopped short however as Pietro's wolf-whistle echoed in the room and Lance turned to him quickly, making sure not to knock Kitty off his lap. "Move it Speedster and go have some fun with your girl," Pietro looked thoughtful at the idea before running as fast as he could out of the room.

Kitty giggled quietly and looked at Lance whilst twisting a strand of hair in her fingers innocently, staring deeply into his eyes and dropping the strand of hair as Lance's lips began to come towards her own. She moved towards him and their lips crashed halfway, the kiss deep and meaningful as they rapped their arms around each other; Lance's hands moving to Kitty's lower back as her own hands rapped around his neck, playing with loose strands of his hair. Before long they both parted and looked at each other with a lustful gaze, and then they both crashed together again, claimed in another intense kiss. They parted, but this time they didn't move towards each other and instead stared at each other for what seemed an age, until Kitty began to speak. "Lance…I, well, I'm not, like, sure how to, like, say this to you coz…uh, well, I broke up with Piotr." The last words came out as a mumble as Kitty said them as fast as possible, but as she repeated herself slowly Lance's eyes seemed to light up with a cloudy glow and he stared at her.

"You did?" Kitty's nod was the only answer Lance needed and as soon as she stopped his lips crashed to her own, and they kissed with such passion that by the time they had parted they were both gasping for breath. "Does this…does it mean that we…"

"If you, like, want to…" Kitty blushed as she spoke but suddenly squealed loudly as Lance picked her up and stood, twirling around on the spot, laughing with an intense rush of happiness that washed over them both until they were both smiling contagiously. Their laughter, smiles and short, sweet kisses were answer enough for them both.

Remy lay on his bed next to Rogue; lazily stroking a hand gently down her side as her back pressed softly into his, her head nestled into his chest. "Chere, did y' know dat Remy tink y' da most beau fille he ever has seen?"

"Ah don't know about that one sugah."

"Sugah now is it Chere? Remy like dat nom."

Rogue laughed lightly and snuggled deeper into Remy's chest, smiling to herself as he kissed the top of her head lightly, before she turned over so she faced him and could look up at him. "Ah suppose ah could use it then…" Rogue pretended to look thoughtful but her smile gave her away and Remy leant to kiss her lips fully, pulling away as he felt a slight tug.

"Remy'd like dat."

"Well then, ah suppose ah'll be calling ya sugah now, won't ah Sugah?"

"C'est bon, c'est tres, tres bon (it's good, it's very, very good)…" Remy smiled as he leant down and rested his head onto Rogue's, kissing it lightly before he closed his eyes at the sweetness of it all.

VvVvVvV

Pietro knocked as fast as he could on Lexa's door before he was greeted by a pair of lips crashing hard onto his own, claiming him in a needing kiss that drew him into Lexa's room. Lexa walked gradually backwards with Pietro until she felt the bed hit her knees and she fell backwards, with Pietro lightly falling on top of her, never breaking the kiss. Their tongues began to explore each other's mouths as their hands roamed and they never even looked up or turned as Wanda slowly backed out of the room, "oh yeh, give me warning why don't you." They both laughed into the kiss as they heard the door slam and they parted, staring lustfully at one another before Lexa rolled them both over so she was on top and she left Pietro's body, kneeling on the bed above him. She smirked knowingly at him and he began to prop himself up on his elbows, but one push from Lexa sorted him out and he dropped back down staring with increasing interest at her as Lexa unzipped her jacket. She threw it to one side, along with her and Pietro's t-shirts and trousers, until she was left in nothing but a dark blue bra, fringed with pale blue silk and he was left in a pair of white boxer shorts on, patterned by silver lightning bolts. Pietro's hands left his side and began to climb Lexa, trailing around her belly button and then tickling up her stomach until they reached her chest, cupping both breasts hungrily and squeezing on them, emitting a moan. Lexa's head dropped back, her eyes closing with delight a Pietro trailed delicately over her covered breasts. He leant up and nipped her erect nipples through the fabric several times before both hands reached around Lexa's back and met the clasp, unclipping the bra and throwing it to one side. Lexa opened her eyes in shock to stare at the ceiling as Pietro nipped at one breast, turning the pale skin to a pinky glow as he repeated the action all around the nipple, before he began to suckle on it drawing moans from Lexa. He moved to the other nipple and repeated the actions, drawing several squeals as he nipped slightly harder and then a low moan as his tongue flicked over the nipple. But he wasn't done yet; far from it, his hand moved in the opposite direction from which it had came; tickling down her stomach and trailing around Lexa's belly button until he reached the hem-line of her matching boy-shorts. But instead of delving into the dark depths of them, Pietro's finger traced under the hem, lifting the boy-shorts slightly so he could follow it around to her back, with a finger between the fabric and her deliciously pale skin. As he reached her back, Pietro traced the finger gently down the shape of the shorts, until moving to trace the other side and then finally the centre of them, moving with a butterfly touch over her dampening core. He then removed his finger and carried it around the front of her, bringing his finger up her core and to the hemline again, before he moved the other way; going down the hemline to her core and then up her firm backside, which he gently squeezed. Lexa's moans and gasps were causing Pietro to harden and he moaned himself as she sneakily ran a finger along him, causing a result even through the boxers that she soon discarded, running a finger over the real thing. Lexa slowly removed her own shorts seductively for Pietro, watching as his eyes widened at the show, making sure to make contact with herself whenever possible, but soon her shorts were discarded along with everything else and she leant naked over him.

They stared at each other and then, in one swift motion Pietro was on top as he flipped them both, but to his surprise Lexa didn't complain, it was as if she expected it; smiling seductively up at him with a glazed look in her eye as she studied him. Then her eyes snapped closed as Pietro moved forward and he rubbed softly against her wet core, repeating the action almost teasingly, loving the way she gasped and rubbed up near him. But as he began to rub quicker Lexa whimpered pleadingly, never needing words to explain the situation and Pietro positioned himself at her entrance, waiting, until she opened her eyes and smirked at him before closing them with a moan as he plunged in. This wasn't their first time; you could tell by the way that they moved perfectly in rhythm with each other, pressing close as they came into contact and both smiling as they rammed towards each other. They moved slowly at first, teasing each other with secret movements that drove the other wild. Lexa very slowly squeezed her inner walls on Pietro, and relaxed teasingly slowly and Pietro moved about, twisting as he plunged; driving her over the edge as he stretched and pleasured her endlessly. But soon their movements increased in speed, the rhythmic movement turning into a desperate plunge for freedom, for release; to drive the other over the edge as they were driven themselves. And they both came, moaning in pleasure and wildly slamming against each other as they reached their climaxes, Pietro collapsing on top of Lexa as they regained their breath and status. But soon, after about a minute of breathing heavily and panting with breathlessness Pietro's speed-mutation kicked in and Lexa's healing ability jump-started and they both looked lustfully at each other before Pietro smirked and plunged straight in again.

Wanda rolled her eyes and quickened her pace as she heard moans emitting from her bedroom and she began to run as a particularly loud moan erupted, but she didn't look where she was going and she tumbled into John, knocking them both over. Wanda blushed as she looked at the position and made to move but John wrapped his arms around her waist, smirking up at her. "Don't fall to head over heels for me, Luv. What was with the running anyways?"

"You don't wanna know…" Wanda pulled against John's arms but grunted when he didn't let her budge.

"Well…seeming as I saw Pietro running in this direction, I think I have a pretty good idea…" John paused and then leant up, whispering mischievously in Wanda's ear, "wanna go watch?" Wanda scrunched her nose in disgust and groaned at the thought, "oh right, family…" John laughed nervously.

"Whatever, would you get off me?" Wanda pulled but stopped as John pulled her closer.

"Sorry Sheila, but you got this the wrong way round; you're on top of me…and I'm quite comfortable."

"Well I'm not," Wanda growled but suddenly smirked.

"What's that look fo…AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" John screamed in agony as Wanda kneed him and he released her, letting her jump up and run off towards the staircase. John slowly got up and hovered a hand over his manhood, before scowling in the direction Wanda had ran, "I'll get you for that one Sheila!" he ran after Wanda and slid down the banisters, ignoring Scott and Jean's curious looks as they walked up hand in hand. He ran down the corridor as he spotted her trench coat whip around the corner and then began to slowly pace up it as he heard a door slam, until he reached the door and threw it open, "AH HAH…what the!" John looked at Wanda in shock and turned back to Betsy and Warren who completely ignored them both, wrapped in each other's arms. Warren leant on an island counter with Betsy leaning up against him, whilst he held her leg around her waist pressing his manhood against her as they kissed. John and Wanda slowly began to back out of the room, closing the door behind them quietly and walking off slowly down the corridor, both grabbing each other's hand for reassurance. They passed Logan and Ororo on the way who were also hand in hand and John and Wanda stared at them with terrified expressions, silence being their only comfort. They both pushed open the living room door but closed it again as they spotted Tabby leaning on Bobby, french kissing him with all of the new mutants shouting, "KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!" at the top of their lungs. John and Wanda reached the entrance hall and sat down against the wall, staring in front of themselves in shock.

"Blimey…everyone's bloody obsessed with sex nowadays…"

"You got that right, Sheila…just look at them all…" Wanda and John shared a terrified glance before their eyes glazed over and John slowly began to lean forward and he kissed Wanda on the lips. She brought a hand to the back of his head and pulled him closer, as he ran a hand through her hair, felling it's softness and loving the contrast as the kiss got rougher. Wanda suddenly pulled back and stared at John in shock, before she suddenly stood and ran out of the mansion and into the grounds. John stared after her for a moment before it all registered and he smacked a hand to his head, "Wanda!" He grabbed two coats, two pairs of gloves and two scarves before running out after her.
