Dinner was just about finished as the kids tricked out little by little. The few that were left was Rouge, Bobby, Jean, Scott, Kitty, and Kurt. Kitty had her light brown hair pulled up into a messy yet cute bun, her blue eyes down casted she had just barely touched half of her plate. She wore a large shirt with spandex shorts and knee high socks. Kurt had been staring at her the entire time catching glances of her beauty without trying to make it obvious, unfortunately he was failing and people noticed all except the distracted Kitty.
Jean raised a slow brow and stood up abruptly and cleared her throat, Scott grabbed her plate and scurried off into the kitchen. Kitty's eyes widened as she looked up slowly her pink lips parting gently in surprise. Kurt also looked over at Jean as Rouge and Bobby slowly exited the room. "Kitty my dearest if you wouldn't mind joining me for a walk in the garden." The ginger goddess looked down at kitty with emerald hues, Kitty knew that look was not a question but more of a demand. Standing up slowly she looked over at Kurt who looked to her, when their eyes locked she gave a hesitant smile a hardly visible blush surfaced. He was lost in her eyes for even in the briefest moments she had him on lock and just like that it was gone. She was gone out the back patio with Jean.
He sighed and began to pick up the plates. Scott grinned as he cleaned up the dishes with Kurt looking at him the entire time. Kurt tried to ignore Scott but it felt like he was blasting right through his skin with those laser eyes. He groaned and threw his rag down.
"What is it Scott?" Scott paused momentarily making the blue furred mutant clench his fists with aggravation he couldn't handle anticipation. Scott opened his mouth to speak and then closed his eyes and mouth again. Kurt felt a vein throb in his head as he grabbed Scott by the shirt. "What is it you're driving me crazy!" He shouted.
Scott only looked to him and then out the window of the kitchen seeing Jean and Kitty walking. When Kurt's eyes locked on the Katzchen his grip on Scott loosened he dropped him back down to his feet as he was entranced by her then he blinked and his eyes looked to Scott… "What about her?" He asked and Scott leaned against the counter his arms folded across his chest.
"Do you love her?" Kurt's face light up like a Christmas tree.. "L-Love n-no I don't know… I-I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LOVE IS!" He shouted.
The corner of Cyclops's lips rose as he gave a smile. His shaded eyes looked out at the girls through the window… "You'll know one day… when her safety becomes more important than your own…When your life is incomplete without her… a day will never be the same until you see the color in her eyes…" He whispered.
Kurt looked at Scott in awe at what he had said he looked out the window and looked at Kitty smiling a bit with Jean his heart throbbed… Maybe he did love her… but where those feelings mutual? He didn't want to ruin what he had with her… no he didn't want to lose his kitten… Even if she wasn't his. Scott patted his back. "Let's finish up these dishes okay? We got a long day of dancing tomorrow!" He encouraged him as he picked up the plates and started watching handing them to Kurt as he dried them and put them away. Kurt remained silent for the rest of the night.
Jean and Kitty had made it outside and the night air was brisk causing Kitty to hold herself. "Oh wow I didn't think it was that cold outside…" She whispered Jean smiled and Kitty giggled a little bit. "S-So what's up?" She asked looking ahead at a bench that she made her way to. Sitting on the cold wood she jumped slightly.
Jean looked down at her and crossed her arms under her bust. "Alright… what's going on with you… all dinner you didn't make a sound and barely touched your food…" Kitty looked up at Jean.
"When did you turn into Storm?" The ginger rose a brow at Kitty's protest… Kitty let a sweat drop along the side of her forehead putting up her hands in front of her in a calming manner. "Okay okay…" She muttered and held her self-holding her arms… "Ithinkimightbegettingfeelingsforsomeone..." She said in a mumble and a soft whisper.
"Come again...?" The ginger pushed impatiently. "Oh c'mon you're going to make me say it again, can't you just read my mind?" She muttered puffing her cheeks. She took a deep breath in and exhaled her eyes locked with the emerald ones. "I think I am getting feelings for someone… and I don't know if I want to… I don't know if he likes me back…"
She watched as Jeans face went from serious to girly as she began to jump up and down and sat next to her grabbing kitty's hands. "I am so glad you have finally moved on from your break up with Colossus." Kitty's face grew bright red. "I-I eh... Colossus and I were like four years ago Jean!"
"I know! And you haven't talked or dated anyone since… you've been so busy with school! But now you're liking someone again! Okay who is it."
Kitty blinked a little flustered as she backed away but hit the arm of the bench as she looked away. "H-how come I think you already know the answer to that?" Jean bit her own bottom lip as she leaned forward. Kitty sighed and opened her mouth to speak. "Kur-" "OH I KNEW IT!" She shouted jumping up in the air.
Kitty squirmed pulling her knees to her chest her face buried in her legs. "You make it so embarrassing Jean…" Said woman giggled a bit as she pulled the kitten up to her feet. "So what made you fall for him? I mean I saw your chemistry on the dance floor and it doesn't help that I can invade your mind…"
Kitty grumbled almost stumbling as she was pulled up and covered her head as if to block out jean. "That's not fair that's an invasion of my privacy…" Jean rolled her eyes. "Oh please… you're practically my sister…" Kitty groaned. "Y-you know it's been a long day I should be getting to bed…" Kitty got up and ran for the door, she had never ran so fast in her life her heart beating loudly, her breathing hitched she couldn't even hear Jean shouting after her. Jean shot her hand up closing the doors in front of Kitty and Kitty's blue eyes widened and then closed as she ran through the door. "Forgot she can do that…" Jean huffed slinking back into the bench.
Kitty dashed through the halls phasing through the straggling few in the hall and any objects when she closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip she bumped into someone. "AH~" She shouted falling back as she tried to turn her body so she could catch herself, but someone caught her instead… A fuzzy hand… Kurt pulled Kitty around and up, losing her footing she fell into him. Her heart was pounding so loudly in her chest… could he hear it? Her eyes slowly rolled up his body only to lock on his golden eyes, and the world froze her breathing stopped. "Y-You okay Katzchen?" He asked cutting through the shock that stopped her heart she began to breathe again. "K-Kurt… kurt…" She said softly and then her eyes swelled slightly at that moment she couldn't deny it… no she couldn't … she wouldn't… she tore her gaze away and phased through him running up the stairs. Kurt looked over his shoulders and up as Kitty ran up the stairs… "Kitty…" He whispered to himself.
Kitty ran down the hall way seeing her door her room she needed it the comfort of her room her safe place she ran right through the door and jumped up and landed on her bed face down gripping onto her pillow. She couldn't admit it to her self… the moment she did… there was no going back… what if he didn't even… what if she was to ruin it… No her and Kurt were just good friends… just good friends… She sighed as she closed her eyes her heart was racing. She couldn't hide it from herself any longer. "I'm in love with Kurt Wagner…" She whispered as she felt hot tears run down her face.
After a few minutes of sobbing and letting her heart feel again she was exhausted and thought to her self. "Jean… can we continue that talk…" She went out to the garden and waited as she began to speak again with the ginger vixen.
