Note: I do not own X-men of Marvel in anyway
Kitty lay on her bed staring out the balcony doors. It had been almost two hours since John had dropped her home. Wolverine had been pissed off because she was late and had missed one of their afternoon danger room sessions so she had earned herself some extra danger room sessions as her punishment. She didn't care really nothing that had happened in the last two hours had really sunk in anyway.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" a voice called from the doorway
"Not really Rogue" Kitty answered back to her southern roommate
"Okay but don't forget we have another danger room session in the morning"
"Yeah thanks Rogue."
Kitty closed her eyes and drifted into a deep coma like sleep.
"Kitty" a voice called worriedly "Kitty!"
She could hear the voice calling her name but she couldn't force her eyes to open or her mouth to work.
"Kitty" the voice called again sounding more fearful this time
Again she tried with her strength to move but nothing would connect with her brain.
"Come on Kitty you'll be late" the voice tried again this time shaking her
Kitty finally managed to force her eyes open, but was blinded by the light. She waited for her eyes to become accustomed to the light before fully opening them again.
"What?" she asked groggily looking up at Rogue dressed in her black xmen uniform.
"We have training" Rogue replied easily
Kitty sat up in her bed but when she did her head started throbbing with pain.
"Ouch" she cried leaning her head down onto her knees
"What?" Rogue asked from the doorway
"Headache" Kitty replied closing her eyes from the blinding artificial lights again
"You want me to tell cyke that you're sick?" Rogue questioned
Kitty nodded her head slowly trying not to move it too much
"Okay I'll be back later to see how you are and I'll bring some aspirin."
Rogue then left the room in silence that lulled kitty back into a deep slumber.
The next time Kitty woke up she was disorientated and her head was still throbbing.
"How are you feeling?" a voice questioned filled with Australian accent
"John" Kitty cried causing more pain to run through her head "what are you doing here? How'd you get in?"
"I came to see how my girl was and I used a little trick Remy taught me."
Kitty smiled and looked over to her dresser where Rogue had left her a white aspirin with a glass of water. She swallowed the pill before creeping out of under the covers and crawling over her bed to where John was sitting. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and kissed his cheek softly.
"Thanks for caring" she whispered causing a smile to pull at his lips
"I always will" he replied
Then he got up and walked out the balcony door leaving Kitty alone in what she thought was silence until she heard the footsteps. Lance entered the room followed by Rogue. Kitty looked up when they entered and met Rogues eyes. 'I couldn't stop him' she mouthed to her and Kitty just nodded.
"How are you Kit?" he questioned coming over to her bed
Kitty was glad right then that he didn't have Logans enhanced senses, otherwise she would be dead because he would have picked up on Johns scent
"I'm fine" she replied with a shrug of her shoulders
She looked over at the digital clock on the bedside dresser and saw that it was almost four o' clock.
"I slept all day" she yelped
Lance just let out a smile and whispered something soothing in her ear causing a smile to erupt on her face too. Kitty whispered something back gently that seemed to satisfy Lance because soon after he left.
"What did you tell him?" Rogue asked moving further into her room
Kitty just smiled innocently
"Oh you know I can't tell you Rogue."
"Kitty?" Rogue asked sternly walking over to Kittys dresser and looking through her cluster of items
"I just told him I'd let him make up today for me tomorrow if he left now."
Rogue smiled hardly amused
"Where'd you get this?" she asked holding up a small rose pendant that she had found on Kittys dresser
"I dunno. Is there a note?"
Rogue continued to look while Kitty examined the pendant in her hands. She turned the rose over in her hands and felt the scratch of engraved metal in her hands. She looked closer and noticed four single letters engraved deeply into the metal.
"J.A, K.P" she whispered
"Excuse me?" Rogue questioned
"It's from John. See, the initials are engraved on the back." She replied
"Oh that's so sweet" Rogue drawled sarcastically looking over to see Kitty making dreamy lovey dovey eyes "call me when you're finished, I think I'm going to be sick.
Kitty on laughed the remark off and fell back onto the bed holding the pendant in her hand tightly.
