---Iris' Room---
Iris, Kitty, and Rogue all sat in a circle (well a triangle) on the bed. "I wanted both of you to know, I really like you. I can't say that I like one of you any more than the other. I know that at some time I'll have to make a decision, but for now, will both of you accept me?"
"If I didn't accept this then I wouldn't have let you go to the courtyard last night." Kitty said with a smile and a light blush.
"Do you really think that I would say no now?" Rogue asked, crossing her arms with a small smile.
"I'm glad. Friday night, I was hoping I could take you guys out-not at the same time of course. But I thought maybe a date." She looked between the two of them.
"I would love that." Kitty said excitedly, taking Iris' hand.
"I've never been on a date before, but I'd love to go out." Rogue agreed, laying her hand on top of Iris'.
---Friday Evening---
There was a fair in town, games, rides, and food. It was crowded, but it didn't matter. "Wow! You can see the institute from up here!" Kitty said happily, holding tightly onto Iris' arm at the top of the ferris wheel. "And there's school." She added, though obviously not as excited.
"Are you enjoying yourself, Miss Pryde?" Iris asked once the ride stopped and their feet were planted safely on the ground. Kitty said nothing but pushed herself closer to Iris, walking hand-in-hand. She had nothing to hide, even from her parents. They had always been open about this sort of thing, and right now she was very grateful. "Hungry?"
"You already paid to get us in and you bought us tickets for the rides, I can't make you get us dinner too." Kitty said, looking up into her eyes. "And I'm having a great time, it couldn't be any better."
"It's no big deal, I have plenty to spend. I've been saving my money for a long time to leave home, but now that I'm out of there it's just sitting around burning a hole in my pocket."
"If you're sure." Kitty said, biting her bottom lip.
Two sandwiches later the sun was lowering in the sky. "Do you mind if we do one more thing before we go?" Iris asked, looking down to Kitty-who clutched her arm again. She looked a bit confused, but she smiled.
"What is it you wanted to do?" She asked curiously.
They stood at a booth, lined from one end to the other with players. A water gun rested in the hands of each; the bell rang. From the start, Iris hit the target, the small stuffed frog rising quickly to the top past the others. The alarm signaled the winner, and from behind the counter was passed a huge version of the same pink frog. "I have some pretty good carnival game skills." Iris said with a blush. "I just wanted to get you something you could take home."
Kitty's arms slid around Iris' neck and pulled her closer. She pressed their lips together and held them. She broke away with a deep blush, pulling the frog with her. "Thank you so much." She said with a smile, hugging the fluffy critter tightly.
"Kitty?" A familiar voice called.
Kitty sighed, her attention turning to the boy running toward them. "Lance? What are you doing here?" Her tone had a bit of bite to it.
"What? Just because I'm in the brotherhood means I can't go out and have some fun sometimes?" He replied, crossing his arms. "What about you?"
"What does it look like?"
"I see…" He turned his eyes to the ground. "So it is a date." His hands clenched and the ground began to rumble beneath them. The people began to act worried for a moment before the rumbling stopped. Iris had pulled off her glove and put her palm on the boy's forehead.
"You don't want to do that here. Not only will you put these people in danger but yourself and Kitty as well. Is that what you want?" Iris said, her voice low so the others couldn't hear.
"No." Lance answered, pushing Iris' palm away and turning around.
"I guess it's time to get you back home." Iris said, pulling the keys to Scott's car from her pocket. She had begged him for hours to borrow the car, she even had to go on a test drive with him and promise that she wouldn't let Kitty even sit in the driver's seat.
---The Park---
Rogue wasn't the type to go to a crowded fair, so first was dinner. The restaurant was nice, a quiet place with great food-suggested by Scott and Jean. "You really didn't have to do all this, this place is so nice." Rogue said, looking up from her menu.
"This is only the first half." Iris replied, her gaze catching Rogue's eyes. The waitress brought their drinks and Iris whispered something into her ear.
"What are you up to?" Rogue asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You'll just have to wait and see." She winked.
When the bill arrived the waitress sat a brown bag on the table. Rogue was curious, she tried to catch a glimpse at the bill, but her attempt failed and Iris pulled the bag into her lap. "You can see it soon."
Across the street was the park, the gates stayed open all night and lights lined the paths. It was beautiful and quiet, a place where they could walk without worrying about a crowd. Both of them took off their gloves and clasped each other's hand.
There was a pond in the park, and a wooden footbridge that arched over it. It was surrounded by lights that reflected on the water, every once in a while a fish would jump. There they stopped, both of them leaning on the railing. Iris opened the bag and pulled out two slices of cake. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting and whipped cream on the top. She handed one to Rogue, along with a fork.
"It looks great." Rogue said with a smile. "Just one thing will make this perfect."
"And what is that?" Iris asked, looking down into her eyes. Rogue leaned in, Iris could feel her breath on her lips, but more than that she could feel the cold whipped cream that was being smeared on her cheek. Her jaw dropped. "No you didn't."
"Oh, I did." Rogue said with a smug smirk. "What'cha gonna do about it?" Before she could back away, chocolate icing smeared over her nose. It was an all out cake war, creamy icing and spongy cake flew. Rogue won, smashing what was left of the cake into Iris' face.
Laughing, Iris wiped the cake from her face with a pile of napkins. They sat in the grass now, by the edge of the pond. With most of the cake gone, Iris held a napkin up, "Here, hold still." She instructed, raising it to Rogue. "You've just got one more little spot." She wiped it away.
"Here, let me get this one for you." Rogue said, her finger tracing over Iris' lips. She leaned in, pushing Iris onto her back and sliding her tongue between her lips. Iris slid her hands into Rogue's jacket, feeling bare skin. She hadn't worn the fishnet shirt, she didn't have a need for it. Rogue shivered at the feeling of the cold hands, but she didn't let that stop her.
They both lie in the grass now, staring up at the stars and using their jackets like a blanket. Rogue lie on her side, one arm over Iris with her head laying on her chest. Iris checked the time on her phone and sighed. "I told Scott that I'd have his car back by eleven."
"Is it really already that late?" Rogue asked, sounding amazed and upset at the same time.
"Unfortunately."
"Well, well. It looks to me like the love bug has bitten the x-men." Toad said to himself in the shadows. "The guys are gonna love this."
---The Mansion---
There was a knock at the door. "Come in." Iris called, rubbing a towel through her wet hair. Kitty phased in through the door.
"I'm sorry, do you want me to come back later?" She asked, plopping down on the bed, she already knew what Iris would say.
"Of course not, it's fine."
"I thought you might want to know about Lance." Kitty said, biting her bottom lip.
"Lance?" It took her a moment to remember. "Oh, I think I know." She said with a smile. "He still likes you."
"Maybe, but I don't." Kitty admitted, it certainly sounded like the truth. "I just wanted to make sure you knew."
"Come here." Iris said, holding out her hand to the girl.
"Huh? Are you sure? I mean-"
"It's fine." Iris said with a smile. She pulled Kitty to her feet and into her body. The towel that covered her was still wet, but Kitty didn't care. She blushed, her arms around Iris' thin body and her head leaning on her chest. "Your ex showing up didn't ruin my night, don't let it ruin yours." Iris lifted Kitty's chin and gently kissed her forehead.
"Ok." Kitty said lowly, her cheeks glowing again. "Do you mind if I-"
"Stay as long as you like, Kitten. Just let me get dressed." Iris dropped her towel, Kitty's hand instinctively rose to her eyes. It didn't take her long to slide into her pajamas and take a seat next to Kitty on the bed, only after sneaking a quick kiss of course. Kitty lowered her hand.
"Kitten?" She repeated with a smile, cuddling up to Iris on the tiny bed.
---Upstairs---
Kurt popped into Rogue's room. "Kurt!" She yelled, "What if I had been changing or something?" She punched him in the arm again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't even think about that." He raised his hands up in defense. "I was just wondering how it went."
"It was ok." Rogue said with a shrug. Kurt knew that in Rogue-speak that meant it went great and she had a good time.
"Well I'm glad to hear it." He said, following Rogue around the room as she prepared her self for bed. "What did you guys do?"
"dafsmumofyurbznss." She replied, brushing her teeth and spitting the toothpaste out.
"Yeah, that's attractive." He rolled his eyes.
"Nobody asked you." Rogue snapped, though in an almost happy way. "It's not your business what we did, but it was nice." She said with a small smile. "Now get out I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight." Kurt said, poofing himself away.
---In the Morning---
Kitty awoke, blankets covering her in an empty room. She sat up, realizing that it was not her own room. Iris peered out of her bathroom, toothbrush in her mouth. "Murnn." She waved.
"Morning." Kitty guessed that that must have been what she meant. She shuffled over to the restroom and leaned in the doorway. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I fell asleep."
"It's ok." Iris replied, rinsing the toothpaste from her sink and wiping her mouth with the towel by the sink. "I slept on the floor, I didn't want you to wake up and be uncomfortable. You were just too cute for me to wake you up. Even with your bed-head."
Kitty reached up and pulled the ponytail out of her hair, coming it with her fingers. She giggled. "I guess I should go get ready for breakfast." She said with a soft blush.
"I'll see you there." Iris said, letting Kitty slip out through the walls.
Cast your votes guys, last chance before I make my decision. Kitty or Rogue?
sodachex13 gave me a wonderful idea. A suggestion of having an ending for each pairing. I will go ahead and do this, and based on votes that I have gathered around here and other sites-Rogue's ending will come first. The next chapter will the the final for Rogue, and the one after will be Kitty's ending. Thank you very much for that genius idea, sodachex13!
