Upstairs
Kitty phased into Pete's room not bothering to knock. He was sitting on his bed. She grabbed the bottle of Scotch he had gotten out and put it away. "`Ey!" Pete exclaimed.
"Pete, you never gave me a chance to say anything," Kitty said gently.
"`At's because I don't want t' `ear `bout how you can't be with a murderer."
"Pete-"
"I can see it in your eyes, Kitty. You can't even look directly at me right now."
"You can't expect me to be able to, like, accept something like that that fast? I needed a few seconds." She knelt down so she could look in his eyes. "Listen up, Wisdom, just because I took a few seconds to accept something that major gives you no reason to question my acceptance of you." Not seeing the doubt in his eyes lessoning any Kitty decided to prove it. She got back to her feet and straddled his legs.
"Kit, what are you doin'?"
"Talk's cheep," she said simply and kissed him. Pete recovered quickly and returned the kiss for a few seconds. Sensing her inexperience in their kiss, he pulled away.
"Congrats," he murmured huskily. "You've convinced me."
"Good," she whispered back shakily.
He smiled a little. "Ya know, luv, I've never wanted anyone as much as I want you right now."
Kitty's eyes widened and she flushed warmly. "I... um..."
Now he chuckled. "I ain't sayin' `at we should do somethin'. `Cept maybe this." His mouth swooped down on hers. Kitty tilted her head slightly at his coaxing. He ran his tongue over the outline of her lips but didn't receive a response.
He nipped her bottom lip causing her to gasp sharply. Her gasp was lost though, by his lips. His tongue swept into her mouth tasting her. He felt Kitty tense in his arms before leaning closer and moving her own tongue against his. He ran his hands down her back before they rested on her denim-covered buttocks.
He pulled her closer but she pulled away feeling the bulge in his slacks pressing against a very sensitive place. She regarded him with wide eyes and the realization hit him. "Shit, you're a virgin, aren't you?" Kitty blushed and looked down, it was all the answer he needed. He pulled her down for another quick kiss before regarding her seriously. "It's okay, luv."
"But you stopped."
"Look, I don't want you t' be with me just cause of what just happened."
"It wouldn't be," Kitty whispered.
"Plus, both of us are emotional right now. Trust me, grasshopper. Now would not be a good time. Still want t' t'morrow and I would be more `an happy t' oblige."
"You really are a sweet guy," she smiled.
He placed a finger to her lips smiling. "Shh... don't tell, you'll ruin me reputation, you will."
Kitty giggled kissing him. "You're secret's safe with me." She cuddled closer no longer shy of the bulge that was still throbbing painfully in his slacks. Pete sighed knowing that he had to leave unless he wanted to be in pain for the next few hours.
"Kit, I still need t' take a shower," he murmured. "Be right back." He lifted her onto her feet and left the room.
Downstairs
Rahne flushed warmly as Doug moved slightly closer, making room for the other two couples who were cuddling on either side of them. She blushed even more when Doug reached out and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She tensed briefly before relaxing and leaning against him with a smile.
Rogue was cuddled comfortably in Remy's arms, and Amanda sat on Kurt's lap as he wound his tail around her waist. Rahne suddenly felt as though she belonged in a way she never had in Bayville. Rogue and Kitty had accepted her as one of the girls instantly, something Amara, and even Jubilee had never done. Now here she was watching some stupid movie as one of the couples. Brian and Meggan came in just as the movie was beginning to end.
"What are you guys watching?" he asked. Rogue told him.
"Pull up a chair," Amanda said. Brian said down in the arm chair and Meggan sat down on the arm of the chair.
"Ya know," Rogue said suddenly. "We have to get Betsy a guy."
-You have to do no such thing,- Betsy told them telepathically. The entire group jumped.
"Rahne," Doug said. "You want to, um, go for a walk?"
"Sure," Rahne said hating herself for blushing again at that innocent invitation. Doug stood and got their coats going as far as to help Rahne into hers.
"Out little Rahney is growin' up," Rogue said with mock-sadness.
"Even de kid sees more action den Remy," the Cajun sighed although a smile was on his lips.
"There's a good reason for that."
"What's dat?"
"Doug's skin isn't lethal."
Remy's smile merely grew. "Chére, dere are many ways around dat," he murmured huskily in her ear. "Remy's creative. He already has several ways thought up. Want ta hear about `em?"
"Brian," Meggan said. "Would you show me around?"
"I'd love to," Brian said.
"Ja," Kurt said. "Ve'll go too." Meggan just wanted to get away from the intense emotions coming from the couple. Kurt just didn't want to hear the intimate conversation between Remy and his foster sister.
"Remy," Rogue said sofly. "Ah appreciate what you're tryin' ta do-"
"But?"
"But Ah've always wanted mah first tahme ta be..."
"Ya want skin on skin, right, chére?"
"Yeah."
"Dat be understandable. Bon, we wait. Moira's still lookin' Remy be sure she'll find a way."
"Ya really are a great guy."
"Remy just know dat he's fallin' fer ya. Remy be de t'ief and dere you go stealin' mah heart.*"
Outside
Rahne and Doug sat watching the stars as they shone brightly. Doug saw her shiver and used the situation to move closer and wrap his arms around her waist. Rahne relaxed, leaning against him. She was surprised when he tilted her head up and lowered his own his lips catching hers chastely against his own. Rahne flushed her eyes widening with the simple thought: /my first kiss./
