*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kitty walked lethargically down the hallway, completely wrapped in her thoughts. She still couldn't get over the fact that she and Pietro had kissed and that Rogue didn't want to divulge a single detail of her whereabouts last night.
FLASHBACK.
"What exactly did he say Kit?" The goth girl shot up, looking rather concerned.
"He just told me that the reason you two were at the park last Sunday was so he could pull some details about a certain someone he cared for from you." Kitty smiled somewhat dreamily.
Rogue's mouth formed a small 'o'.
"So what did you tell him?" The young brunette's brows furrowed.
Rogue cleared her throat, "well Kit... all ah said was that yuh were the 'what yuh see is what yuh get type of gal'. Yuh know how to have fun but when to be serious also."
It was now Kitty's turn to mouth a silent "oh". "But doesn't that make me seem sort of predictable and, well... boring?" she frowned.
Rogue sighed and crashed back down onto the bed, closing her tired eyes. "No it doesn't Kit!"
"Do you think he'll stay interested in someone like me? I mean I'm not at all like the girls he usually dates!" Kitty stated rather dejectedly.
Rogue opened her eyes and looked at the girl quizzically. "Of course he will Kitty! Yuh're a wonderful person and Pietro is crazy if he doesn't realise that."
Kitty smiled weakly but then narrowed her eyes...
"But I thought that you like Pietro! I mean, you like had a picture of him and everything."
Rogue scoffed, "yeah a picture yuh stole from meh!"
Kitty chuckled nervously, "you know about that huh?"
"Well duh Kitty! Ah cleaned the room remember? And as for the picture, I 'borrowed it from Pietro so that yuh can have it." Rogue said matter of factly.
"You borrowed?" Kitty cocked an eyebrow, a slight smirk plastered on her face.
"Sneaking into someone's room is the same as borrowin'."
"Seriously? You snuck into his room?" Kitty giggled.
Rogue only smiled in response.
"Why did you want me to have it then?"
Now this was going to be difficult. Rogue knew that this time would have come sooner or later but she would have preferred for it to be later rather than sooner. Her eyes wandered aimlessly around the room, trying to find exactly the right words but she stopped short when her eyes and Kitty's made full contact. She breathed deeply, "um... well yuh see Kit ah've known about yuhr little crush on Pietro for a long time now and ah just wanted yuh to have something to remind yuh of him when he leaves." Rogue's voice lowered a bit... "he'll be leaving in a little while."
Kitty eyes immediately filled up with warm tears. She hadn't thought about that in weeks. *How could I forget? I got so caught up in everything that I absolutely lost sight of what was really important!* Just thinking about the reality of the situation was enough to make her sick with pain. No longer would she see his beautiful face, hear his intoxicating voice... no loner would she be able to get totally lost in him. Maybe he won't leave. Maybe, just maybe what happened between us tonight will change his mind and he'll decide to stay. She shook her head slightly, trying desperately to suppress the vicious and confusing emotions she were experiencing and decided to change the subject. Kitty wrinkled her nose and lifted a brow. How exactly did Rogue know Pietro was leaving? *I thought I was the only one who knew! No - something else has to be going on here.*
"Rogue you smell of cologne! Calvin Klein's Crave to be exact!" she smiled devilishly.
Rogue licked her lips and swallowed. "No ah don't! And what are yuh, part bloodhound? Geez Kit - yuh spend way too much time at the mall!"
"Who exactly were you with tonight Rogue?" Kitty gave the goth a long hard stare, Rogue freezing under her intense gaze.
Rogue grabbed a pillow and covered her face. She yelled out a muffled, "ah wasn't with anyone!"
Kitty got up and headed for the bathroom. "Then why do you smell so... so manly?" she chuckled to herself.
Rogue took the pillow off her face and looked at the ceiling. "Ah wasn't with anyone Kit, now can yuh please just drop it?"
"Fine Rogue," she poked her head out the bathroom door, her mouth full of toothpaste foam, "whatever you want."
END OF FLASHBACK.
Kitty sighed dejectedly upon the recollection of the conversation that had occurred just several hours ago. She had her skates slung over her shoulders, it was a gorgeous day and the park was beckoning. She took down the stairs hastily so that she wouldn't even miss a moment of the sunshine, in hopes that it would dispose of the present mood she was in or at least alleviate it. She flung open the mansion doors, only to be surprised by a very unexpected but albeit not unwelcomed visitor. She licked her lips and smiled sweetly...
"Pietro, like what are you doing here?" Kitty's eyes glistened with hope.
Pietro swallowed hard and just stared at her. *Okay man, you can do this! Just tell her everything that's been going on and that it all doesn't matter anymore because you're leaving. Oh yeah and don't forget to mention that you love her as well!* He mentally smacked himself at that thought.
"I... uh... I came to see Rogue. She kinda has something that belongs to me and I'd like to have it back before I leav..." he stopped short.
Kitty on the other hand finished his sentence for him. "...before you leave?" she stated coolly. "Why could you finish it? Are you afraid there may be something wrong?"
He cleared his throat and managed a squeaky, "you know that I'm leaving?"
"Does it matter?" her eyes narrowed.
"No - I guess... I guess it doesn't." Pietro hung his head, now suddenly having a profound interest in his shoes. He raised his head, "you seem almost upset though Kitty," his face determined.
"Upset?" She shook her head slightly, which was accompanied by a scoff, "why should I be upset? It doesn't matter to me if you wanna go join your father on another one of his stupid missions." The pitch of her voice rose to some extent.
"Stupid missions! And exactly how would you know this? Oh I must have missed all the times you've been with my father on these so-called 'stupid missions'!" His voice dripped with sarcasm and his face now a slight shade of red.
Kitty tightened her jaw, and glared menacingly at Pietro. His words had hurt her deeply because she didn't want him to leave... to leave her. Though at this moment she was having a tough time recalling why she wanted him to stay. "So that's it then - you're not even gonna mention anything about last night?
"And what exactly am I supposed to say?" His tone had gone ice cold.
She couldn't believe his audacity, "you kissed me Pietro! And you... you don't kiss someone unless they mean something to you!" Kitty then stared at his face blankly, "it didn't mean anything to you, did it Pietro?" Her question dull and emotionless.
He stared deeply into those large blue pools. How could he explain things to her when he hadn't even gotten his head around he details? *Kitty, I'm sorry!*
"I'm Pietro Maximoff... what did you think it was supposed to mean?"
Kitty's nose flared and her breathing quickened. The tears that were cooped up quickly released themselves... "It means that I'm incredibly stupid." Salty tears made their way to her lips, and dripped slowly onto the ground.
Pietro fidgeted and ran a hand through his hair. It took all that he had not to grab Kitty and kiss her again, telling her he didn't mean it and he wanted her... only her.
"Fine Pietro - it's none of my business what you do with your life! Rogue's upstairs - take your stupid picture and get the hell out here! And sure as hell stay away from me because I never want to see you again!" Kitty pushed past him and stalked down the stone pathway.
All he could do was stare at her retreating form.
