When Katie and Kurt finally had all the children bathed and put to bed it was 9:00.
Katie turned to Kurt, "So what now?" she asked, clasping her hands together in front of her.
"Vat do you mean?" he asked, leading the way to the kitchen for a snack.
"Well it's only 9:00, what do we do now?" she leaned on the counter and watched him pull out the ingredients for a turkey sandwich.
"Ah, you're a night owl like me." He said smiling as he prepared his sandwich.
"Yeah, late to bed early to rise." She smiled and started making herself a sandwich.
"Well I usually watch tv, the living room is empty at this time of night. Care to join me?" he asked.
She agreed and they passed condiments back and forth, each building the perfect turkey sandwich before heading off to the living room.
Kurt sat in the middle of the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table.
Katie kicked off her sneakers and sat beside him, feet curled up under her. "So what kind of shows do you like to watch?" she asked as he flipped through the guide.
"I like old scifi, like the Twilight Zone and the original Star Trek." He said as he tuned in to a Twilight Zone marathon.
"Me too!" she said excitedly, "Man it is so hard to find people who appreciate classic Science Fiction shows." She smiled at her new found friend.
They both started making fun of William Shatner's acting, bonding over the terrible special effects.
Soon Katie had nodded off to sleep, her head on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt was soon to follow, he laid on the couch with Katie practically on top of him, and fell asleep with his arms around her.
The next morning Katie woke with a start as the alarm on her phone went off. She reached in her pocket and turned the alarm off before laying back down for a few more minutes of rest.
It took her a moment to realize that she wasn't in her room, and she wasn't alone.
Kurt was fast asleep, his arms around her and his face buried in her short hair.
He pulled her closer, in the middle of a dream and said something in German.
She poked his shoulder to wake him up, "Kurt?"
His hips moved against hers and she had to bite back a moan, a very different part of Kurt was awake that morning.
"Kurt wake up." She said poking him again, but to no avail as his hips moved against hers once more.
She finally pushed the blue man off the couch, that woke him up. "Vas? Vere am I?" he stood up and looked around before he noticed the girl on the couch, and his rather strained pants.
"We should both go change before someone comes in here and thinks the worst of us." She told him, standing and straightening her shirt.
They both blushed heavily, Katie ran silently up the stairs, and Kurt teleported off to his own room.
She leaned against the door, her second day here and she had already been dry humped by a sexy blue man. She stripped and got in the shower preparing for her long day.
Kurt listened as she entered her room (right beside his ) and got in the shower. The mental image of her wet, naked form sent him to his own shower.
The day passed normally after that, they were able to get the kids up and going. They even ate breakfast together, both ignoring the elephant in the room.
And when three o clock rolled around they found themselves, once again, standing awkwardly in the hall.
"So." Katie flat lined, sticking her hands in her back pockets.
"Would you like to go on a walk?" he asked, noting that it was a sunny afternoon.
She pondered for a moment before she agreed.
They made their way outside and walked silently through the massive gardens. There were roses everywhere, and Katie observed the different kinds.
Kurt picked one and held it out for her, "milady." He said in a fake british accent, which he mangled with his german accent.
She laughed and took the rose, "Thank you good sir." She said in an equally awful accent.
He held out her arm for her and she took it, keeping up with their charade of manners.
They chatted back and forth in their awful accents, laughing and joking around as they strolled.
"I need to go call my family." She said sadly, not wanting to leave now that they were having fun.
"Now?" he asked, pouting just a tad.
She nodded, "My mother has a knack for worrying if I don't check in on time." She told him, dethorning her rose and placing it behind her ear.
"Well then, may I escort you to dinner this evening?" he asked in his british-german accent.
She nodded and smiled, "You may, good sir, I shall expect you at six." He bowed and she curtsied before walking inside to make her call.
…
Katie was in the middle of a conversation with her mom when there was a knock on her door. "Come in." she said, glancing at the door.
Kurt came in and smiled at her, "Guten abend." He greeted.
"Hi Kurt." She smiled.
"Katie, who is that?" her computer asked.
"Oh, mom this is Kurt. I work with him here at the school." She turned her laptop around to show her the blue mutant.
"Guten tag." Kurt gave a shy wave before Katie turned the computer back around.
"I gotta go mom, it's dinner time. Love you, bye." She hung up with her mom and tossed the computer on her bed.
"Sorry, my mom is a talker." She followed him out of her room.
"It's fine." They walked to the dining room side by side.
The dining room was almost as chaotic as the kindergarten room, but they filled their trays and found a seat at the teacher's table.
Another blue man stood up and introduced himself. "You must be the newest teacher, I'm Dr. Hank McCoy." She shook his hand and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Kathleen Bennet, but Katie works." They sat down with Scott, Logan, and Hank."
"So how do you like it here so far, Katie?" Scott asked, looking at her behind his sunglasses.
She thought about it, "It's a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it's fun work." She shrugged.
"Yes, the smallest ones can be the most challenging." Hank agreed.
"They're a damn pain in the ass." Logan growled out as he cut in to his steak.
"But you know you love them." Kurt smiled at him.
"The green kid is alright, but the rest of them are whiny." He picked at his steak.
"So Katie where are you from?" Hank asked, ignoring the argument the other three were having.
"Alaska." She said simply. "Born and raised there. I don't think I would have left, but the professor told me he needed my help." She picked at her food.
"Yes, none of us are experienced with mutant infants."
"I don't either, I have experience with mutants, and with infants, but I figured it would be easy enough to figure out."
"Well we're glad to have you. Are you going to join the xmen?" he asked.
"I'm not sure, the professor wants to work on my powers with me. I don't think they'll be helpful to your team."
Logan and Scott stood up and started a fist fight, which Kurt and Hank tried to pull them apart.
