Disclaimer: I dont own the Brotherhood, Only Kailen, and Serah.


Serah

Pyro stopped laughing. "Then I think you'd better go talk to him." "Why?" "He just saw you kissing Kailen. He ran off to his room." My eyes widened.

Oh No...

I ran to Mort's room. I pounded on the locked door. "Mort! Mortimer! Please Mort i'm sorry! You have to listen to me!" I put my ear against the door. I didn't hear anything, then I heard a thump, like he had moved something. "Mort... Please... I'm sorry, you don't understand what happened." I heard something, like: "I know bloody well wot happened..." but it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Please... Mortimer..." I didn't get a response. I stared at the door. "I'm going to STAY out here until you let me talk to you. I'm NOT going to leave." I moved across the hall, and sat down against the wall. I could see my face in the shiny black floor. I looked so sad. I knew Mort probably felt the same way. Only moreso. My hear was breaking. I felt so guilty.

"What have I done?"

I felt hot tears run down my cheeks, they slipped onto the floor and landed in a tiny puddle in between my booted feet. I sighed and stared up at the ceiling now. "Ok. You got me." I muttered. "I get it. I screwed up back there. I should have left the room when he came in." I shook my head. "Can't ya just... Let him come and talk to me.. Please?" I'm not sure on who I was talking to. Maybe I was tyring to reach God. I don't know. I really don't. Maybe I was calling out to whatever infinite being had control over peoples lives. I don't know really.

After a while. I think I fell asleep. But I woke up pretty quick. I stood up again, and held my ear against the door again. I didn't hear anything. I tried to open the door, it wasn't locked. Odd. Had he unlocked it? I knocked. "Mort? Can we please talk?" the door creaked open. It was very dark. "Mort?" I stepped in. I looked towards the bed.

Mort was laying face-down on the floor.

I ran over to him, I tried to shake him awake. "M-mort?" I stopped. There was blood on my hands. "NO!"

My eyes snapped open. Cold sweat patched my brow and I was panting.

Bad dream... Just a bad bad dream...

I sobbed quietly. I glanced at my watch. It was midnight. I had been asleep a long time. Why hadn't anybody woken me up? Oh yeah, with Pyro's mouth the whole of the Brotherhood now probably knew of this little problem. I heard a small creak. I looked up, rubbing my eyes.

Mort.

"I'm ready to talk now..."


Mort

Alright. Truth wos, earlier, I hadn't wanted her to see how freaked out I wos. I still loved 'er. Even though... Yeah.

She stood up and came into my room. "Look Mort, you don't under stand what happened." "Wot's to say? You kissed him." "NO. No I didn't. He kissed me." "And you let him." She gave a weak smile. "Not quite, Mort." she looked down. "I kicked him a rather tender area, right after you ran off. If you had stuck around a minute longer..."

I have to tell you I felt like th' biggest git on th' planet.

"So... You weren't..."

"No! Never. I would NEVER do that Mort... I love you." Before I could say a word she grabbed me around th' waist in a hug. "I'm SO sorry... I should have just left the rec room when Kailen came in! Could you ever forgive me?" She wanted ME to forgive 'er? After I had acted like an idiot before finding out wot had happened? "No, no I mean, I wos stupid. To think you'd..." "Mort, I love you. I never won't love you. I spent those three years away wondering if you ever thought about me." "So, nothing happened?" "No. You can even go and ask Pyro. He saw what happened." "I'm sorry, Serah. Really I am... I shouldn't have ignored you like tha'. It's just..." I paused, Serah smiled.

"Let me prove to you that i'm never gonna leave you."


Serah

I kissed him deeply. He stopped me. "Wait, can, can I go kill Kailen first?"

"Later..."

"Okay..." He mumbled weakly.


Still Serah.

I sat there, in the kitchen the next morning, happily spooning Cheerios into my mouth. I could taste the mound of sugar on the spoon. You just can't have Cheerios without piling on the sugar. Least I couldn't. I was gonna be hyper the rest of the day, I knew it.

Course I would have been anyway.

Mystique came in, looking tired. She paused halfway to the fridge and looked at me with that large happy grin. She sat down in front of me. "What happened?" "Why, whatever do you mean?" She snorted.

"I know that look."

"WHAT look?" She glared at me. "You didn't-"

"I have nothing to tell."

"You DID!"

"I'm not saying a word!"

She grinned as I stood and brought my bowl to the sink and set it down. "Thats ALL the confirmation I need." I sniggered. "You gotta promise not to tell ANYONE else 'kay?" Raven held up three fingers. "Scout's honor." She smirked. "You DO know that the ENTIRE Brotherhood knows your together after you kicked Kailen in the groin last night." I snorted. "Don't I know it. I think I just became Pyro's idol." She laughed. "I heard him talking to Sabretooth about it. We havn't seen Kailen all night." "Betcha he's in his room crying." She laughed along with me. "Ah girl talk. How I missed this." I muttered. "How long has it been since you had human interaction again?" I paused. How long? "Well, not counting the whole, Jeremy, T.A.M.A. thing, three years." She shook her head.

"Well, it's basically the same with me. So I guess we needed this." "Yeah. Girl banter." she snorted this time. I sat back down. "So, how have you been faring these past years?" She shrugged. "Not bad. Those X-Men are getting more and more pathetic." "What do you mean?" "Well, Jean Grey is back in business." "I thought she was dead?" She shrugged. "So did we. Apparently she ressurected herself, and is now, the Pheonix." I burst out laughing.

"Can't they get some unpredictable names?" Raven looked blandly at me. "I know I know, I shouldn't be talking. FROG." she grinned. "You know come to think of it, you might be one of the few mutants with an unpredictable name." Raven paused. "Really?" "Yeah, most would expect you to be: CHANGLING, or MORPH, or some lame thing like that. But no, you chose MYSTIQUE..." I drug out the middle and spread my hands wide in front of my face. "Then I come along, Toad is taken, so I get stuck with Frog." she laughed. "How did we get into this conversation?" I shrugged. "Well, i'd rather talk about this then what I did last night." "oooh, give me details!" I choked. "Pervert!" I stood up. "I will see YOU, later. I have to go and do... Stuff."

"We have a mission next week!" she called as I skipped down the hall.

"Alright!"

Better get some training in. Havn't busted some X-Men heads in a while.

I grinned as I passed Kailen in the hall, he scurring past me.

Life is good.
