Okay guys, I'm new to the whole X-Men thing, so be easy on me. Anyhow, I watched X-Men 3 just recently, and I feel like it didn't go the way I wanted it to. So. Here it is: my first ever X-Men story. Oops, almost forgot to mention that this is in Bobby AKA Iceman's point of view.
"Walking Through Ice"
Chapter 1
The day that Professor Xavier died, Kitty took it pretty hard. As I passed her room at night, I heard sniffling.
"Kitty? Are you all right?" I asked. "Can I come in?"
I heard the muffled sniffling continue. "Bobby?"
I knocked gently and replied. "Yeah, it's me. Can I come in?"
The sniffling slowed down considerably. "Yeah, hold on just a minute."
I waited patiently by the door before the door opened. I saw Kitty bound back to her bed, and she hugged her knees to her chest.
"Kitty? Is everything all right?" I asked quietly as I sat on her bed. She shook her head and her hair shielded her face from light. Her usually illuminated face was shrouded in darkness. I pushed her hair aside before continuing. "We're all sad about what happened, Kitty. But you shouldn't take it too hard."
"But it isn't fair," she sighed. "I mean, you have Rogue, I have... I just miss home, that's all."
She buried herself in her arms again. I spotted ice skates leaning on the wall next to the door.
"Come on, I think it's time we changed that."
Kitty frowned. "But Storm said we have to stay in our rooms. What if we get caught?"
I smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, we won't. I mean, you can walk through walls, right?"
I hurried down the stone stairs to reach the large pond. Kitty stopped and had a puzzled expression on her face. Her ice skates swung in her hand.
"What are we doing here?" she asked. I smiled mischievously and placed a finger on the still water. Veins of ice appeared, and soon the whole pond was frozen solid.
"Better put on those skates," I exclaimed. We sat on a bench so she could put on her skates. I put a hand on my sneakers and I felt a cool sensation tingling my feet. Blades of ice appeared on my shoes. Kitty smiled at me and blushed. She looked back down at her skates, tightening them to make sure she wouldn't fall while skating. I placed my hand on the small of her back and guided her toward the pond.
"Ready?" I whispered into her ear. I saw the tips of her ears turn red before she nodded. I smiled at her once again before stepping onto the ice. Almost immediately, we were gliding on the smooth surface. Kitty whooped as she went flying over the ice.
"I haven't done this in so long, I think I forgot how to skate!" she shouted. I placed a finger on my lips.
"We have to be quiet, or else we'll get caught!" Still smiling, she pursed her lips together as she scurried to the other side of the pond. Seeing as this was practically my natural place in life, I glided smoothly over the ice to meet up with her. She stumbled and grabbed my arm to regain balance.
"Thanks Bobby, this has really helped," she said. I looked into her eyes as we slowed to a stop.
"Kitty, I..." I trailed off, realizing what I had been feeling for the past couple days. The training simulation room, the funeral, and now... We were alone though, what harm could be done? I felt my mind hurtle through empty space as I lowered my face over hers. Her wide eyes slid closed, as did mine. Her lips felt soft and warm in contrary to my hard, cold ones. I knew I was doing something wrong. And I knew I had a girlfriend, but come on; I can't touch her.
I felt Kitty's hand slide through my arm and I noticed we had sunk slightly into the ice. Kitty looked up and blushed, the tips of her ears turning even redder than before.
"I-I'm sorry. When I get excited, I tend to lose control of my powers..." I snaked my free arm against her waist.
"Same here," I whispered before kissing her again. This time, I felt ourselves rise as I controlled the ice to turn into a small platform. And this time, when we parted, Kitty's nose was tipped red, her lips blue from my breath.
"I'm sorry, you must be freezing!" I placed my coat over her shoulders. She smiled and slid her hand out of my arm.
"It's okay, I feel as if I'm on fire, anyway."
I grinned at her and stepped off the ice.
"Come on, we better go back, they'll eventually look in on us, don't you think?" She nodded and agreed. Kitty sat down and began unlacing her skates.
"Why don't you just... Slide out?" I suggested. She perked up at the idea, and her feet slid like a snake through the tough fabric of the ice skates. I handed her back her shoes.
"Come on, I'll carry you so you don't even have to put your shoes on," I whispered before picking her gently up in my arms. She blushed again, as if a guy had never picked her up in her entire life.
"What?" I asked. "Never been picked up by a guy before?"
She shook her head. "Well... No. In fact... I just got my first kiss."
I felt the tips of my own ears redden as I hastened up the stone steps. "Well, how was it?"
She giggled and wrapped her arm around my shoulders. "Better than when my dog licked my face back home."
I smiled and we slid through the wall connecting through to her room, not even remotely noticing the pair of shining eyes staring from an upstairs window.
