Reminiscing

~*~

I took some shots and fell from time to time

Baby, you were there to pull me through

We've been around the block a time or two

I'm gonna lay it on the line

Ask me how we've come this far

The answer's written in my eyes

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new

That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been comin' to

I'm all about lovin' you

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby

We've been to hell and back again

Through it all you're always my best friend

For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do

Tonight I'm gonna find a way

-Bon Jovi

In Pete's room

Pete came back and saw that Kitty was lounging on his bed holding Lockheed. "Wot's the rat doin' here?"

"He knocked," Kitty said as Lockheed snuggled closer. Pete pulled out one of his cigarettes.

"Ya know, Pryde-" Whatever Pete had been about to say was lost when Lockheed suddenly flew forward and grabbed the cigarette right out of Pete's mouth. "Wot the bloody `ell! Get back here ya flyin' aardvark!" Lockheed merely growled at him.

"Lockheed!" Kitty scolded. "Bad dragon!" He crossed his arms in mid- flight and gave her a look as if to say: do I look like a dog? "Give the man back his cancer stick." Lockheed dropped the cigarette into Pete's waiting hand.

Pete threw the door open. "New rule, no flyin' rats allowed in me room." Kitty giggled as Lockheed growled at him again and flew out. She stood and walked over to the door. "You don't have t' leave," he told her.

"I'm going to, like, get some sleep," Kitty smiled. She stood on her tip- toes and kissed him. "Goodnight."

"G'night, luv."

The next afternoon

By the time that Pete drug himself out of bed it was already afternoon. He poured himself a cup of coffee and slouched down in the chair. He went into the living room after finishing the awful cup of coffee and saw Kitty lying on the couch asleep. With a mischievous grin he knelt down beside her. He leaned over and kissed her softly feeling her respond, even in her sleep. He smiled down at her brushing a hand through her hair. "Kitty," he whispered. She opened her eyes.

"Um... hi."

"Mornin'."

"Pete, it's one in the afternoon," she smiled.

"Where are the others?"

"Rahne, Doug, Rogue, Remy, Brian and Meggan are outside and Betsy is on the computer."

"The witchdoctor?"

"She's taking care of Carol."

"How is Carol?"

"Moira says she could wake up any day now."

"Good." Pete suddenly grinned. "`Ey, this means `at we're all alone," he said in a low voice. Kitty blushed. "Gonna let me sit down, luv?"

"Nope," Kitty smiled. He shrugged lifting her into his arms. He settled down on the couch holding her on his lap. "You have a comfy lap," she told him snuggling against him.

"`Is is nice," Pete said. Kitty smiled laying her head on his chest. "Want t' go upstairs."

"Pete!" Kitty exclaimed flushing.

"Wot? Luv, I tol' ya last night. This stops when you want it t'."

"Your room?"

"Yeah, luv," he leaned over and kissed her softly. "But up there we'd `ave a bit of privacy. All alone, t'gether, like." He smiled at her. "Wot do ya say?"

"I... don't know..."

"Anytime ya think I'm movin' too fast or you want t' leave just tell me. I ain't gonna be bothered by `at, luv."

"You won't?"

"Luv, I'm not an idiot an' I ain't gonna force ya int' somethin' you ain't ready fer. Ya mean a lot more t' me than that."

She smiled shyly. "I do?"

"Hell yeah," he kissed her softly. Kitty smiled again and stood walking up the stairs. Kitty sat down on his bed watching him carefully as he came in after her. He shut his door and crossed over to his CD player where he put in a few CD's before programming them. He went back to her and flopped down next to her.

Outside

Remy was smoking a cigarette watching Rahne and Rogue as they sat on a rock talking animatedly. Amanda was sitting across from them on a fallen log with Meggan. "Ever get the feeling that we were being talked about?" Doug asked.

Remy chuckled. "Feelin'? Non, Remy knows we're bein' talked about."

"You don't know that as a fact, Gambit," Brian said shaking his head.

Remy looked at him and shook his head. He glanced back to the girls who glanced in their direction before dissolving in giggles. "Just keep believin' dat, mon ami."

"Herr LeBeau is right," Kurt admitted. "As much as it pains me to say zat. But I must wonder where Katzchen and Herr Wisdom are right now."

Remy snickered. "Think, mon brave. De chat and Wisdom are both not here. What do ya t'ink dey're doin'?"

Kurt's eyes widened almost comically. "Keety?" His foster sister was hard to deal with but Kitty too?

Now Remy began laughing. "Are ya sayin' dat you an' de lovely Mademoiselle Stefton haven't...?"

Kurt felt a slight smile tug at the edges of his mouth. "A gentlemen does not kiss and tell."

"We're not asking for details on the kissing," Brian said allowing himself to fall into the locker room talk. Doug shook his head at the three men.

~*~

"Come on, girl, spill," Rogue said narrowing her eyes at Amanda.

"He's your foster brother!" Amanda said.

"I ain't askin' for positions, Stefton. I just want ta know when."

"Okay. This is going to sound bad. The night of your birthday party."

"What?"

"Well, he was walking me home and one of Magneto's henchmen, Sabretooth is it?"

"Big ugly hairy guy?" Rogue questioned.

"Yeah, that was him. Anyhow, he threatens us... me mostly. He takes a swipe at me and knocks me backwards. Kurt runs to me..."

Flashback

"Amanda!" Kurt exclaimed. He reached her side and grabbed her hand teleporting them out of there. They ended up in a barn almost an mile away. "Liebling, are you okay?"

"Kurt," Amanda asked softly.

"Are you hurt?"

"No," she whispered. "I think I'm okay."

"You're sure."

She smiled. "I'm fine, silly. I was just a little out of it for a second." Kurt suddenly reached out and crushed her to him.

"Dank Gott," he murmured into her hair.

"Kurt, are you okay?"

"Ja, I just thought I might lose you."

"I'm okay. Except that I'm losing oxygen."

Kurt blushed, although his fur hid the worst of it. "Sorry."

"Don't be, fuzzy." She cuddled closer. "That scared me a little too."

"I never told you, Amanda, how much you being so understanding about all of this has meant to me. I've never had a real girlfriend and to find one who vas human and still accepted and... cared about me."

Amanda giggled. "Loved, Kurt, you can say it."

"You do?"

"Of course. How could I not?"

He smiled feeling shy suddenly. "I-I love you too." He leaned closer and kissed her. She was the one who blushed this time as she leaned further into his arms. The result had him falling backwards into the hay. They pulled away from each other surprised. "Oops."

Amanda giggled again. "Kurt..."

"Ja?"

"Have you ever... you know?"

His eyes widened almost comically. "Well... I... nien."

"Oh, good."

Now he raised an eyebrow. "Good?"

"Yeah. I mean, I've never..."

"Ah." They paused regarding each other.

"Kurt, would you, um, turn off your image inducer?" He seemed slightly embarrassed as he reached out and turned it off. Amanda beamed up at him. "That's better." He smiled moving down for another kiss.

"We should get back."

"Why?"

"Won't your parents get worried?"

"No, my dad's working tonight so he's asleep and my mother's out of town."

He grinned down at her. "You know, liebling, you keep talk like zat up and I'm going to think you're propositioning me."

"And if I am?" She met his yellow eyes evenly and Kurt's narrowed slightly.

"It's not nice to tease, miene liebe."

"Maybe I wasn't." He lowered his head again, his mouth devouring hers. He allowed instinct to guide him as he nipped and licked her lips. Amanda opened her mouth to him allowing him to deepen the kiss. Their tongue's met and danced for a few moments as Kurt's hands grew restless and slid under her top.

His palm found one breast and he began to massage it gently at first but then slightly harder, encouraged by each sound of pleasure she made against his lips. They pulled away panting for breath. Kurt's nimble fingers busied themselves undoing the buttons on her shirt then the clasp on her bra. A few moments later her breasts were exposed to him. He lowered his head and gently suckled one firm nipple. "Kurt," Amanda breathed.

"I'm doing okay?"

"Don't stop," she said causing him to chuckle. He switched sides having to pull away when Amanda tugged his own shirt over his head. She ran her hands up his chest causing what sounded suspiciously like a purr. The two stood in order to remove the rest of their clothes. Kurt suddenly swept her into his arms carrying her back to their makeshift bed in the hay.

Relying on his knowledge from some movies the New Recruits had watched he began to kiss and lick his way down her body. He was pleased to hear Amanda gasp, and moan softly as he went from her lips, to her breasts, her bellybutton, then finally the juncture of her thighs. He breathed in deeply, loving the smell and sight of his lady. Amanda was simply watching him when she suddenly threw back her head and gasped feeling his tongue as it invaded her. Once he tasted that her juices had begun flowing he began his move back to her lips.

"So weich," he murmured as he licked and suckled her beasts again.

"Kurt, bitte," she murmured using one of the words she had learned from him. He finally reached her lips and kissed her deeply while positioning himself. He thrust into her in one swift motion. Her cry of pain was muffled when she buried her head in his fur.

"Ich bin erbärmlich," he whispered. "I'm sorry, liebe."

"I'm okay, keep going." He began to move within her as slowly as he could manage. He fought hard to hold himself back as he moved within her. He felt as though he had reached heaven at the feel of her wetness and heat surrounding him. His willpower was rewarded when he saw Amanda lose herself in her first orgasm. He finally let himself go and spent himself within her.

"Dank," he murmured collapsing beside her.

"Sie sind willkommen," she whispered back. "But I should be thanking you."

"Zat was amazing, liebling."

"It was," she agreed.

Suddenly Kurt bolted up. "Verdammen sie es!"

"What's wrong?"

"Ve didn't use protection."

She giggled again. "Double insurance, fuzzy. My mother put me on the pill when we started to get serious."

"Dank Gott!" he murmured relaxing again. "But ve should get you home."

"And we will. Right now I just want you to hold me."

"Zat would be my pleasure," Kurt smiled down at her. She moved back into his arms laying her head on his shoulder.

"Love you."

"I love you too."

Present day

"Now see, sugah, that is what Ah meant about what Ah didn't want to know," Rogue said wrinkling up her nose. Amanda blushed almost as red as Rahne was at the story.

"I didn't mean to say that," she said.

"Right," Rogue said now smiling. Meggan was fighting to hide her giggles.

"Um... I'm going to go talk to Kurt," Amanda said her blush going even deeper.

"We're just messin' with ya, sugah," Rogue laughed. "But yeah, let's get back to the men." Still giggling Meggan led the other girls to the guys.

"What's so funny?" Brian asked the fey who just blushed and giggled some more.

"Remy don' want ta know," Gambit said looking at the girls, Amanda, Rahne, and Meggan were flushing while Rogue was hiding an amused smirk.

"You're right about that, swamp rat," Rogue said walking into his arms. Remy kissed the top of her hair holding her against his chest.
