"Lance, guess what? The professor, like, you know, totally gave me permission to date you! Isn't it the coolest or what? I've, like-"

Lance stopped her, "Wait, Kitty, you're going a little too fast."

"Oh, I am? Sorry," Kitty slowed down, though she was unable to control her excitement. "I was, like, just going to tell you. The professor gave me permission to date you! I mean, really! Thought he wouldn't agree too!"

"But…are you absolutely sure? I mean, isn't Xavier on bad terms with us Brotherhood guys? Why would he allow you to date me anyway?"

Kitty smiled, "I don't know, Lance, but I'm just glad that it's so over. I mean, even Scott gave me his blessings as well. It's just…too good to be true already."

Lance was unusually doubtful though. "Are you sure? Goggle boy and Xavier-so nice? I kinda' doubt that." Kitty sighed, "Lance, get over this. I'm just so…so glad we can finally be together."

"I am, too, pretty-kitty. Hey, wanna come over and celebrate or what? I'll get pizza-absolutely meat free. How's that? No one's home now," Lance said.

Kitty nodded, "I am sure nobody would mind. If Jean's going out with Scott tonight, I suppose that I can get a little time off too, right?"

Kitty appeared on the Brotherhood Boarding House just in time. Lance greeted her with a huge grin before lifting her up in his arms and had them both laughing.

"Lance, put me down now," Kitty giggled, "This is crazy."

"I've always been crazy all my life. What's stopping me now anyway?"

He led Kitty into the house. It was exactly as how Kitty remembered. Everything was still as messy as ever and nothing's changed.

"Ah. I see that there's no change in here?" Kitty said.

"Hey, when I received your good news, I just had to order the pizza and then bathe right? I wanted to smell right before you came here."

Kitty chuckled, "And I thought that it was my sense of smell improving."

Lance and Kitty slouched in the sofa in the living room in front of the telly, eating pizza. However, their minds were not on the show. Once they finished the pizza, Lance switched off the TV and leaned in closer to Kitty.

"I thought we should, you know, have some time to ourselves to enjoy our privilege to date each other again." Lance mumbled hoarsely.

"Okay, but none of your funny ideas, Lance." Kitty said as she ducked before Lance could make a move on her.

"Hey, no fair! You did that to me-again!"

"It's you who's got lousy aim that misses all the time. Don't go about blaming me."

Lance grabbed Kitty before she could get off the sofa and hugged her so tightly, tighter than he ever did in his whole life. "I don't want to let you go, Kits."

Kitty felt the atmosphere getting quieter and yet, warmer too. She pulled back and looked into Lance's deep, beautiful hazel eyes. "Lance, nothing will tear us apart. I know you are in doubt. You are afraid something will ruin this for us. But no. We have got to believe God. He's lead me right to you and I don't care. I will, like, be with you whenever and whatever happens."

Lance nodded. "I hate you so much, Kitty. For making me fall in love with you."

He made the first move and closed in on Kitty. She didn't pull back. They got closer and yet, closer. Kitty had her arm around Lance as his lips found hers; despite the only source of light were the hall light and the moonlight.

They kissed and they didn't want to stop. No one wanted to. Kitty felt like she wanted this to go on forever and ever and ever. She felt Lance's hands untying her neat ponytail and ruffling it just a little.

"You look so beautiful, pretty-kitty." Lance told her, his hands stroking her cheek slightly.

"Oh god, I love you, Lance," Kitty said as she sat up more and kissed him.

Even when they knocked over the pizza box off the coffee table, they didn't care. They were finally together.

Yes, I've finally finished. Hope it was a good read. Until next time, ciao!
