Hi, me again with another random story that just popped into my head. Once again, the characters, universe, etc belong to Marvel and the WB, not me. Okay? Okay.
Pairings: Kurt/Kitty, Remy/Rogue, Scott/Jean, Logan/Ororo, Bobby/OC, Piotr/X-23
SETTING: In the future compared to the actual series. All the kids have grown up and in most cases have kids of their own. They are in the mansion but there are actual students there as well so areas the students would commonly go are out for places to sleep because what teacher wants their students to know they've been couched?
Kitty could not sleep. Sure she was mad at him but darn it she couldn't sleep right without him! That stupid ball of fuzz had woven his way very securely into her life and even when the dislodging was temporary, she couldn't stand it very well. In a huff she had marched to the library, avoiding the faculty living room because she knew that's where he would crash, and had attempted to read a book. The book now laid long abandon on the couch. She had attempted surfing the internet until she got tired. The computer was still on but the internet browser was shut. She had tried just sitting on the couch and falling asleep there. The couch lay empty except for the book as Kitty paced the room, one had lightly on her back.
"Ya ought to sit down if your back is hurtin'," someone said behind her. Kitty turned and looked at Rogue and then sighed.
"I'd love too. Just tell my head to settle down," she sighed. Rogue went and sat down on the couch, motioning for Kitty to come over. She sank down next to her friend. "He's such an idiot sometimes."
"I take it you're not talkin' about James."
"He's not even two. He's forgivable. His father on the other hand."
"I know the feelin'," Rogue sighed.
"You and Remy?" Rogue nodded. "Stupid boys," Kitty murmured. "Why did we ever start to like them again?" Rogue shrugged as she got up and headed for one of the bookshelves. Kitty got up too.
"Go sit down."
"I don't want to. You're up."
"I'm not pregnant."
"That hardly makes me handicapped."
"No, but it's makin' your back hurt now and in the mornin' you'll be complainin' and I'll have to listen. Go sit down." Kitty growled at her but complied, figuring she was right.
"What are you looking for?"
"A book I wanted to read," Rogue answered, running her finger along the spines on the shelf. "Found it," she declared and pulled it down.
"Why are you reading a book down here anyway?"
"Same reason as you I'd imagine. Can't sleep without him but can't sleep with him tonight." The sound of someone choking met their ears. Rogue and Kitty looked up.
"She didn't mean it like that, Jean," Kitty called.
"How do you know?" Rogue asked propping open her book. Kitty glared as Jean came and joined Kitty on the couch. Rogue was sitting in the swivel chair of one of the computers.
"What's up with you and Scott?" Kitty asked, choosing to ignore Rogue.
"How did you know something was up?"
"Outstanding guesser," Kitty told her dryly. Rogue snorted.
"He's just such an idiot sometimes."
"A good looking idiot though," Kitty said lightly. Jean whipped around to look at her and Rogue raised her eyebrows. "What? Like neither of you sometimes think Bobby or Piotr or Remy," she looked pointedly at Jean, "is good-looking?" Rogue turned to look at Jean who looked down at her feet. "Besides it's not like we stopped being attracted to other men just because we're married."
"That doesn't however mean that they get to drool over Emma Frost today!" Jean intruded. "It was right in front of me. I mean I know he doesn't like her but every single time we see her, his eyes are automatically planted on her chest. It's just so- arg! He's so frustrating sometimes. And I've told him before that it bugs the heck out of me but he says he doesn't even notice that he does it and that I have to know I'm the only girl for him or some junk like that but seriously it's right in front of me!"
"Oh Jean," Kitty said sympathetically.
"It does sound infuriating," a cool voice whistled from the doorway. The three girls looked up to see Ororo coming towards them.
"Hi, Ororo, come to watch the activities of the annoyed wives club?" Kitty asked.
"Right now we're workin' on a better name," Rogue told her.
"I'm not very good at improve," Kitty bit back.
"Does this club by chance include annoyed girlfriends?" Ororo asked seeming to be a twist between vaguely amused and vaguely fuming.
"It does now," Jean assured her.
"Logan being an ass?" Kitty asked.
"Not the word I would use but yes," Ororo answered.
"We all have the same problem. Vaguely anyway. Jean's the only one to name specifics so far," Rogue assured her.
"He's not looking at Emma Frost's cleavage is he?" Jean asked Ororo bitterly.
"No," she replied, sitting down on Kitty's other side.
"You've got to cut Scott a little slack on that one though, Jean," Rogue told her. "Emma flaunts it so much even I sometimes catch myself lookin' down her shirt." Kitty snorted and raised up her hand.
"Ditto!" she called. Ororo smiled and gave a slight nod. Jean huffed but then gave a slight grin.
"So what's goin' on with Logan? I thought you guys were fine and he didn't see Emma at all today," Rogue asked.
"Nothing was wrong. I needed to talk to him about spring break. Professor Xavier is organizing a cruise over Spring Break for the students who aren't going home and since we had so much trouble when you all were in school he thought there ought to be two chaperones. And a week on a cruise with Logan didn't sound unappealing at the time. So I went up to him and said we needed to talk and he said 'I knew this was coming. We're overdue for a talk like this.'"
"A talk about chaperoning a cruise? Somehow I doubt you've talked about that over and over again," Kitty said.
"Exactly," Ororo sighed. "So then he launched into the age old fight about why we've been 'just dating' for so long."
"Even though you haven't seen anybody else in how many years?" Rogue added.
"It's ages now, isn't it?" Kitty asked.
"We started dating back when you were still a student here," Ororo told her.
"What reason did he give you?" Jean inquired.
"Many. But that's not of keenest importance right now. What is, is that he had to jump off the handle when I simply had a question about chaperoning over spring break."
"Idiot," Kitty and Jean muttered. Rogue nodded.
"Are you talking about Bobby?" Lia asked, coming up behind them.
"No but we might be if you want. What's he done?" Kitty asked.
"Been Bobby."
"Care to share? Everyone else is," Rogue asked.
"Not until Kitty tells me what's going on with her and Kurt. I saw him up there ages ago." Kitty fidgeted in her seat as Lia settled herself onto another computer chair next to Rogue.
"You know that meat-lover's pizza that little place down by the high school makes?"
"The place with the really good taco pizza?" Jean asked.
"Never had it but yeah, that's the one. Anyway, Kurt went there with Bobby and Hank earlier and between the three of them they ate two large pizzas of the stuff. It makes me gag, literally. So he comes back and kisses me with out even brushing his teeth and then I yelled at him before spending even more time getting acquainted with toilet bowl." She made a face of disgust. "He says he forgot but still."
"Well if he forgot," Ororo began. Kitty glared. "It was just a mistake." She sighed.
"I guess but I'm not forgiving him until tomorrow. Hopefully the smell will wear off his breath by then at least. Now what did Bobby do, Lia?"
"He decided to be completely childish and freeze my bras, again," she sighed. Jean hid her chuckle behind her hand. "But of course he isn't a child, however much he tries to deny it and he couldn't just freeze it in my drawer. No he froze it when it was on me. Again. Then when I get mad he tells me I could just take it off. So I go to get another one from the drawer. He's frozen all of them too. So I got madder. I forbade him from the room for the night."
"I always knew he was an idiot," Laura said from the doorway.
"Come in instead of looming there," Ororo called to her. She came towards them.
"Where's Piotr?" Rogue asked.
"For his sake, hopefully far away from me. He refuses to clean up his own dirty towels and then goes and accuses me of leaving dishes around the room."
"Men!" Kitty exclaimed, throwing her hands up.
"Exactly," Lia chimed. "So annoying."
"And oblivious!" Jean added.
"Self-absorbed!" Rogue put-in.
"Moronic," Ororo finished. "Just one simple thing blown all out of proportion."
"Or forgetting something stupid they ought to remember," Kitty huffed.
"Only accessing things by their amusement value," Lia joined.
"Obsessed with the female figure," Jean continued.
"Obsessed with-" Rogue began.
"Did you hear that?" Laura asked quietly.
"Do we ever hear anythin' you hear?" Rogue asked her. Lia growled and then headed back towards the door.
"What is it?" Kitty asked.
"Right outside the door, they're listening," she whispered.
"Who is?" Ororo asked.
"The guys."
So I don't know whether or not to make a third chapter to this. I was thinking of doing a third chapter with another perspective on the whole thing but I'm not sure right now. If you made it this far you may as well review, right? Please?
