Kitty stared up at him, the blue of his eyes like the ice he could forge. That ice froze her stormy waters to halt so she could think. She'd let him walk away from her twice. Was she going to let that happen to her the rest of her life? Let opportunity walk away from her because she was so passive?
Not with Bobby. "Bobby, I want you to be mine. I want...I want to share a glance with you in the hall and pass notes to you in class and leave little trinkets in your book bag when you're not looking. I want to have someone to think about coming out of a fight for, to have a reason to win. I love you, Bobby, I want you as my own." She wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly. "I'm sorry I'm so passive, I can't help it. I just can't think straight and I'm so used to things just...well, phasing away. It's easier for me. But I don't like watching you walk away from me, I can't take seeing your back all the time. I want someone to stop me from phasing away from everyone else, someone that cares." She fixed her eyes on him again, "That's you, Bobby."

Bobby felt his heartbeat crawl to a stop as she began to speak. This was it, he thought, my whole world on the line for one girl...one girl who has always been in the distance, but close to my heart. When she finally said those words, he felt the tension slip from his shoulders and his face nearly did a face plant on the ground. His balance was a bit off, probably because he had just walked across ice to profess his love to her once again. Bobby felt relief shine in his blue eyes and he could feel her arms around his, and, he made sure they stayed around him as he too wrapped his arms around her body.
"I'm glad Kitty," he said, "I don't think I had it in me to make another walk and turn around. I love you, and I really mean it. I will keep you from phasing from reality, I will keep you safe when danger is astrewn, and I will accept your notes and be proud to say you are my girlfriend. I am that grateful to have you in my life Kitty...and I will never overlook that or mistreat it, for your love goes alongside my heart making it ten times stronger to endure the worse of things thrown our way." Bobby kissed the top of her head and just held her, knowing that he had someone that he truly cared for in his embrace.

Kitty smiled against his shirt and let the fear drain out of her. If anyone could stop her from phasing from the world-it was Bobby Drake.
She pulled back to look up at him, smiling at the care and love in his eyes. "Now...how do we tell Rogue?" She swallowed hard and hoped that her courage to step up once was strong enough again to tell Rogue she couldn't have what she'd wanted.

Bobby sighed and stroked her chestnut hair slowly. "The plan is simple, the result will be instantanous. We will both approach Rogue, and, we'll tell it how it is. The only thing is we have to give her time if she doesn't want to speak to either of us for a while. So the question is, who shall tell her? I don't want to put you in the line of fire, but, if you want to do it, fine by me. I will do so though, or we can do it together...as a team."
Bobby knelt his head down and kissed her lips slowly before pulling back and just enjoying the intimacy. Tackling this issue required a plan, and, what he said was pretty much all they could do. Perhaps the analogy is best like a band aid, quicker off the less pain or procrastinating will occur.

She had to think to catch her breath from is kiss and think even harder to remember what his last words had been. Bobby had that effect on her.
"I think I'll tell her...just promise to bring a healer if she drains the life right out of me. Besides, I'm safer in that situation anyway, if I do it just right, she can't touch me." She offered a quick smile before shivering. The night was starting to get a chill to it and Kitty was standing only in her bathing suit. But, Bobby's arms around her made her feel warmed from the core. Next to them, Lockheed licked the ice rose, tail wagging happily.

"Are you sure? You don't want me to come as back up? I promise you'll get a healer within the touch, but, you can easily escape her because her flight power hasn't kicked in yet. Kitty, your cold...here take this." Bobby took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. "I know it isn't much, but, hopefully it'll provide you with the warmth you need." Bobby walked back to her and took her hands in his.
"I want you to know that I love you," he said, "and I want that love to be a shield when you do impart this news upon Rogue. Love is a strong shield, and, if you need an ice shield, I can easily create one within a second." He noted with his head the ice bridge that was still standing strong since he had created it.

She nodded and took the jacket with a smile, "It's warm enough because of you." She smiled and listened as he spoke again. "Well, maybe you being just around the corner would be best." She gave an unsteady laugh. The idea of seeing Rogue's eyes flare at her and see a glove come off made Kitty's knees shaky.
"Okay, before I lose my nerve. When and where should I do this?"

Bobby smiled at Kitty and was glad the jacket was warm. Having worn it when he dived deep into the pool to save her and having it dry made it toasty snug now. Staring at her with his caring blue eyes he knew that the time had came now to act, not to fall asleep and just hope that it went away on its own. Biting his bottom lip he stared into the reflection of the pool and knew then when it would happen.
"Tomorrow in the morning," he decided, "you shall tell her about me and you. We're dating now, a couple in love, anything else just let it fly. Do not let Rogue antagonize you, simply follow your heart and come out on top. As to where, tell her in the Japanese Garden." Bobby said looking at her.

Kitty nodded, imagining it already in her mind. "I hope the shrubberies give enough protection." She thought the plan out slowly and gave out a sigh, cuddling up against Bobby once more for comfort.
"This is going to be difficult, I can tell." And with that, she gave her effort for the night to come up with the best way to talk to Rogue, how to tell the wallflower girl that her one wish wasn't hers anymore.

Bobby smiled and kissed the top of her head. "The shrubbery there will help you, plus, your a strong girl Kitty, whether you accept that fact or not. Your a lot faster at running, and, I've seen what you can do when you apply yourself like when your in class. I have to get going though now, we'll hang out later...just give me a ring." Bobby took her hand and pulled out a pen from his pants and wrote his number down on her hand.
"I love you Kitty...always remember that," Bobby kissed her again, letting the kiss last for a bit before pulling back and walking off, this time knowing he had a girlfriend and was content with how things had turned out. A smile was on his face and his head was held up high as he walked off.

Kitty was breathless as soon as Bobby's lips left hers. She watched him walk away, happier than when he'd approached her at the beginning of the evening. He was walking differently, his head held higher than usual, there was almost a sway in his step. It made Kitty smile happily, it was because of her.
She looked down at her palm, still tingling from Bobby's touch. Her phone took down the number as her thumbs flipped over the pad and she felt Lockheed's feet land on her shoulder. He nuzzled her cheek lovingly and watched Bobby walk away with her.
Kitty scratched under Lockheed's jaw, "Come on, boy, lets swim some more. I'm even up for a race." Lockheed purred happily and flapped his wings before diving into the pool.
