A/N: This chapters basically a fluff/relationship one no real action. That's for next chapter. But I hope you enjoy this one.
The days following what Kitty referred to as her 'fiasco day', which she completely blamed on that nightmare she had, had returned to some semblance of what was normal at the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Children. Some things however had not returned to normal and it was hard to ignore. Bobby and Rogue were always walking on eggshells when around each other and Kitty couldn't help but feel guilty about it. To her it seemed kind of self-centered to assume that they were fighting about how much time Bobby has been spending with Kitty but she was hoping, which is why she felt guilty.
Friday night and no plans. "Wow." Was all Kitty could say when she realized that she hasn't done anything a normal kid would call fun on a weekend in a very long time. Figuring nothing was going on she settled down on her bed and began doing her homework for the weekend. She didn't get very far before being interrupted by a commotion going on in the room next to hers.
"For cryin' out loud Bobby! You just don't get it do you?"
"What's there to get? You want to stay in and do nothing and I want to go out and do something fun."
"That's just it! You assume spending time alone with me is going to be boring! It's like you don't care about me at all!"
This was getting good Kitty had her ear pressed up against the wall listening intently to the couple arguing in the next room.
"That's not true and you know it!"
"Really then how come you've been spending most of you're time with HER! I've seen you two getting awfully cozy!"
This statement made Kitty lean into her wall even more intently and she started to phase through without even noticing but fortunately she caught herself before she landed on Bobby's floor and was seen.
"Not this again."
"You know what Bobby if you aren't going to take this seriously I don't know what I'm doing here!"
"Rogue don't…" Bobby was pleading for her to not leave, although he really wasn't sure why.
Kitty pulled away from the wall and she could here feet stomping down the hallway out side of her room. She cracked her door open and looked down the hall just in time to see Rogue round the corner heading for her own room and then hear her door slam shut about 10 seconds later. Kitty was about to leave her room to go see how Bobby was feeling but then it occurred to her that if she showed up so soon it would have been quite obvious that she had been eavesdropping on them. So after about 10 minutes of just sitting on her bed thinking about what she would say to Bobby when she went in there Kitty finally stood up and walked out of her room.
Kitty slowly walked up to Bobby's door and knocked lightly.
"Come in." Bobby sounded kind of down.
"Hey Bobby"
"Hey Kitty." He glanced up from staring at the floor.
"You okay?"
"Kind of? I guess… I don't know. I think me and Rogue just broke up."
"I'm sorry." She really was but at the same time she was also excited. After sitting down on the bed next to him he shifted uncomfortably and continued to stare at the floor.
"I don't know she seemed to think that I am interested in another girl."
"Are you?" Kitty asked trying not to sound too hopeful.
"I don't know, kind of. Me and Rogue have been drifting apart ever since Jean died. I can't really explain it."
"Well how do you feel about her?"
"Well I think I like her. I mean she is my friend but I think I want to be a little more."
"I wasn't talking about me Bobby I was talking about Rogue." Kitty said with out even realizing what she had just implied.
"Oh, Rogue well I still love her but I think it's more of a brotherly way? We've never been able to actually touch so, wait what did you say?" It had finally caught up with Bobby what Kitty had just said.
Kitty realizing what she had actually said and that Bobby had noticed it too, stood up and phased through the wall into her room looking even redder than she had when she fell out of bed. Hold her face in her hands lying on her bed Kitty could not believe what she had just said to Bobby. Actually she couldn't believe half of the things that had happened to her lately. No, scratch that, it was more than half. So many strange things had happened in the past week and it all had started with her dream. The Professor had said that it was nothing but now Kitty was starting to think that it might be more than coincidence.
Bobby just stared at the wall after kitty had left his room through the wall. It was her that he was talking about but he couldn't believe that she actually had assumed it was her. Was she really that self-centered? Or had she just been hoping and slipped. Either way she had been embarrassing herself in front of him a lot lately and he figured that he'd at least let her have a nights sleep and time to think about what she was going to say for herself, after all he was a gentleman.
