Peter, Kitty, and Bobby went into the locker room and changed into their street clothes, and out of their X-gear.
Peter grabbed his hoodie and quickly zipped it over his t-shirt.
"You did good Drake!" Peter said putting an arm over Bobby's shoulders as they walked out of the locker room.
"I guess." Bobby said ducking from under Peter's heavy arm. "I'm going to the gym and release some steam. I'll see you later."
"Alright. Will do." Peter said waving Bobby off.
Peter made his way to the kitchen. After his workout in The Danger Room he needed a cool drink.
He stopped short when he got to the kitchen and lingered in the doorway. He spotted Kitty Pride already in the kitchen. She stood near the sink sipping a class of lemonade.
Peter leaned against the doorway admiring Kitty's fair skin in the afternoon sun streaming through the window. He was struck suddenly with a great idea. He tip-toed behind Kitty careful not to make a sound. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
Kitty shrieked, startled by the sudden invasion of person space. Peter stumbled, as he passed through Kitty, catching himself on the sink.
Kitty side stepped him looking back to see who had just frightened her.
"Ugh! You big bull." Kitty squealed realizing that it was just him.
"The Danger Room got you jumpy Kitten?" Peter asked with an innocent smile.
"No… Not really… Maybe… Yeah… So What!" Kitty rattled on.
Peter stopped his hand stilted against the refrigerator as he looked at Kitty.
"What's wrong?" he asked as he opened the refrigerator and grabbed a can of soda.
"There's nothing wrong. … Ok… It's just; I'm always a little scatter brained after Danger Room missions or any other mission for that matter." Kitty clarified.
Peter clicked his can open and set it on the counter beside Kitty.
"It's nothing really." Kitty said leaning back on the kitchen sink.
Peter leaned into her nuzzling against her shoulder.
"It will be ok. You know I'll protect you." He said in a hushed tone against her neck.
"I know…" Kitty answered breathlessly,
Peter reared back and leaned in for a kiss. When he leaned in all he felt was air. When he opened his eyes he realized Kitty was now standing behind him.
"You stink! You need to take a shower!" Kitty said with a small chuckle. "B.O Much…"
"Fine..!" Peter said grabbing his can of soda. He downed it in a gulp and finished it with a loud long belch. "I'll go take a shower… But you'll miss me while I'm gone." He finished walking past her.
Kitty hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his muscular back.
"I will." She spoke up. "Now go, you really do smell." She said with a laugh, pushing him away.
"Ha, ha, ha." Peter said as he left the kitchen. Kitty smiled as she watched him walk away.
'Quite possibly the finest buns in the entire world.' She thought to herself. 'He does have buns of steel' she chuckled to herself at that thought.
…
Twenty minutes had passed and Kitty herself was now done taking a shower. She stood in her room, in front of her mirror. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail. Her scrunchy matched her powder blue track suit. The suit was one of her favorites; it was so comfortable and sexy at the same time. It was form fitting and showed off her flat slender midriff. It was perfect for a date night. Even if the other half of the date didn't know there was a date yet.
'But that's all going to be fixed, in just a second.' Kitty thought as she did a once over in the mirror before opening the door to her room.
She made her way down the hallway to Peter's room.
Kitty Pride's sneakers squeaked against the marble floor as she power walked down the hallway to Peter's room. When she finally arrived she wiped her hand over her hair to smooth down any stray hair. She took a deep breath and tucked her bangs behind her ears, mustering up the courage to knock. A few minutes of psyching herself up she daintily rapped on the thick wooden doors with her fist.
Colossus answered the door wearing nothing but a towel. Kitty's mouth was agape as she looked up and down his strong masculine form. She wiped at some imaginary drool on her chin as she noticed beads of water tracing their way over his pectorals and washboard abs, and down beyond the seclusion of his towel.
"Umm... uh... D-Do you want me to come back?" Kitty struggled to get out.
"No. It's no problem; I was just getting out of the shower." Colossus said not making any attempts to cover himself. "Come on in. Have a seat on the bed."
Kitty happily obliged, positioning herself at the end of his bed.
Colossus went to his dresser and opened a drawer; he pulled out a pair of boxers and walked into the closet, neglecting to close the door.
"So what's up?" He called from the closet.
"I was just thinking since we've been going through all the intense Danger Room sessions-" Kitty started.
"I know. What's up with that, it's like they're training us for some kind of civil war or something." Colossus said stepping out of the closet.
Kitty watched as he hiked up his boxers and pulled his towel from around his waist. He tossed the towel next to her and went back into the closet.
'He's doing that on purpose!' Kitty thought to herself.
"I was just thinking since we have the weekend off maybe we could... I don't know..." Kitty cut herself short.
Colossus paused and stuck his head out of the closet.
"Why Kitty Pride!" Are you asking me out on a date for tonight?" Colossus teased.
"Trying to, if you would shut up! My Goodness!" Kitty yelled in frustration.
"Ok I'm listening..." Colossus said stepping out of the closet once more; donning a pair of tight blue jeans.
"So where are we going?" He asked as he buttoned and zipped his pants.
"You tell me!" Kitty snapped still not able to take her eyes off of his Adonis form.
"Dinner and a movie?" He said as he grabbed some socks from a drawer. He sat next to her to put his socks on.
"Dinner and a movie sound great!" Kitty admitted. "What about that new romance the 'scrapbook'?"
"I was thinking the new action flick 'The Quick and the Cumbersome." Colossus offered.
"Eww!" Kitty protested. "Action movies are not date movies!"
"Fine!" Colossus said standing up to put his gym shoes on.
Kitty's eyes began roaming once more. Her cheeks grew a cherry red when her eyes met Colossus's.
"Hurry up and put a shirt on!" She yelled.
Colossus smiled. "Alright, calm down." He said as he walked into the closet again.
He emerged a few seconds later fully clad (shirt and all).
"You ready to go?" Colossus asked tugging his red t-shirt into place.
"Now?" Kitty asked surprised.
"When else?" Colossus asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Umm... well ok. I'm ready." She said standing up.
"Then let's go." He said grabbing his car keys; shoving them into his pocket. He opened the door so she could lead and took her hand as they walked out of Colossus's room.
