Disclaimer: I own nothing but the rights to write this ship and cry about it.
Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Ok, so this ship is kind of clogging up all my other fanfics. I can't for the life of me write TDASB. When I go to write the next scene, all I'm thinking about is: how can I make Kitty and Alistair more adorbs? So, because of this ship, everything else is suffering. AND I LOVE IT GOSHDANGGIT!
Oh, and I want to admit this publically: I am a total crybaby.
Also, looking down at the prompts I have… this fic might be darker than I anticipated. Still cute, as I will try to make it… but some of these prompts are pretty harsh. Just thought I'd warn you.
Another thing: This one takes place before chapter two. Like I said, these won't be chronological. I'll try to warn you when they aren't.
Prompt 4: Mistaken
Kitty had to be mistaken.
She was going over to Alistair's locker, like she normally did when she had free time. She wanted to be with him whenever he had a free moment. Sure, she knew they both had social lives, but could anyone really blame Kitty for wanting to be with her boyfriend?
Kitty had entered the hallway and spotted Alistair. She smiled and was about to approach when she suddenly saw Bunny standing with him. She stopped and her heart sunk for a moment. She watched the two of them, and they both seemed… happy. As if… they knew something she didn't.
Whenever Kitty needed to teleport, she'd usually smile and vanish gradually. This time was different. Her lips quivered as she vanished, appearing on a bench she usually went to when she needed to talk with Alistair.
But this time… she was sure he wouldn't show up.
She had always suspected Alistair loved Bunny more than he loved her. Alistair had tols Kitty when they got together that Bunny and him were just good friends. But… they looked so happy together. She knew they had to be together behind her back.
And… she knew, deep down, she had to let them be together.
"Kitty?" Alistair asked. Kitty, startled, jumped to her feet and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Alistair didn't let the tear slip past him though. "What wrong? You only come here when we need to talk."
Kitty, clearly upset, said nothing, afraid she might break down crying. Alistair quickly walked over and sat down on the bench. Kitty didn't follow suit, much to Alistair's confusion. "Kitty, something's wrong," Alistair said. "What is it?"
Kitty said nothing.
"I'm all for unlocking secrets, but if this is some kind of game…" Alistair started.
"Oh, like you don't keep secrets either!" Kitty snapped, startling Alistair. "I saw you with Bunny! I saw how happy you were together! I saw, Alistair! I saw with my own two cat eyes!" Tears streamed down her face. "You two are probably dating behind my back! It's probably better two, because you two go better together than we could ever be!"
Alistair was stunned by Kitty's outburst. Why do girls cry over things that aren't as big as they think they are? He thought to himself. He stood up and hugged Kitty while she cried. They stood there for a few minutes, not saying a word. When Kitty had calmed down, Alistair started to explain.
"Kitty, I want you to listen," he said. "Bunny and I are best friends. We literally did everything together, especially when we were the only ones in Wonderland. Bunny is probably my go to girl when I need to vent or need advice."
"But your my girlfriend," he continued. "When you saw us today, she was commenting how bad I was at understanding girls emotions. We were only sharing a good laugh, which she and I do every once in a while. But Kitty, I don't love Bunny. While I hold her in the highest regards… I love you. I don't feel like the world is complete when I'm with Bunny. I feel complete when I'm with you."
Kitty sniffled, looking Alistair in the eye. "So… I was just mistaken? You aren't cheating on me? You just… spend time with Bunny because you're close friend?"
"Exactly," Alistair said. "I love spending time with Bunny because we're close. But I love spending time with you more. We're a couple. I wouldn't ever hurt you. You have my word."
Another tear exited Kitty's eye as she hugged her boyfriend tight. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I won't assume anything again. I trust you."
Sometimes, we mistake some situations and jump to the worst. It could spiral downwards and lead to more problems. But Alistair knew that Kitty just didn't know how much he loved her. And Kitty realized that she didn't have to jump to the worst scenario, because she knew Alistair would always be able to explain.
BN: *bangs his head on the table* STOP BEING SO CUTE! It's literally killing me on the inside. I've never produced such raw cuteness before. It might be because I'm sick and I write better when I'm miserable. Weird. Anyway, I wanted to portray something I've noticed over the years in my reading and actual life. Don't take this the wrong way female audience, but I've noticed that girls normally jump to worse in the dumbest of situations. I wanted Kitty to have one of those moments and have Alistair realize he has to deal with such things time to time. I also wanted to start to show that, despite being this fun-loving prankster girl, Kitty has her own insecurities. I'll hit more on that as we move on, but I wanted the seed planted in a chapter like this. It might not have been my best work, but I quite enjoyed this one.
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know in a review! Or don't! Either works!
