Phases

[katherinepryde]

Kitty's hand froze at outside the door to one of the rooms in the hall. Why was she standing here like an idiot? She'd thought about Kurt Wagner a lot lately. He was a different mutant, one whose ability affected the way they lived their daily life. Kurt was blue, fuzzy and had amazing tattoos all over him. Not to mention that he had sharp teeth, a tail and strange hands and feet. And that was why she was here, she reminded herself. Because she was one of the few people that didn't care how Kurt looked, even so far to the point that she had an interest in him.

But how was she supposed to tell him that? She rested her forehead on the door with a 'thud' and sighed. Kitty grumbled to herself, Lockheed, her baby dragon was at her ankles, staring up at her curiously. He grumbled, shaking his head. He hadn't wanted to stand in the hall like idiots.

Kurt sat in his room in quiet contemplation , his bodily needs had been especially wanting and he though mediation would help but hearing his stomach grumble he though it was time to eat. Now normally he would heliport but this time he though he would walk down. Switching on his inducer he watched his hands change to pink and his face become more human.
Walking to the door he opened it and walked right into kitty his rams wrapping around her as if he was porting her.

"Verdammter Mist.(I knew I should have been more careful.) " he said moving back but keeping his hands on her shoulders "Kätzchen " he said and smiled the one face he was pleased to see. "I did not hurt you did I?" he asked looking at her up and down.

[katherinepryde]

Kitty's rubbed her forehead with a giggle, Kurt could be so forgetful when he was wrapped up in his thoughts. "I'm fine, Kurt, really. I just...well, I shouldn't have been outside your door like an idiot." She gave a glad smile to see him again. Kurt didn't smile enough, he always looked so sad. But he seemed to lighten up when he was around Kitty, at least that was what she'd hoped was the case.

She reached into her side bag and pulled out a couple hamburgers, "I thought you might be hungry. You always are." She gave a smile and ensured the hot smell of hamburgers fresh from the drive through caught his nose. He'd put on his inducer, so now he looked like a human boy. Kitty questioned herself, but was sure of it- she preferred how he really looked. Kurt had amazing tattoos and beautiful eyes, he just couldn't see it that way. "There's fries too!" She gestured to her bag full of treats for him, hoping the temptation would grant her some time to talk to him.

[kurtwagner]

Kurt saw the burgers and smelt the fries his stomach gave an audible growl he grabbed her hand and took her into his room leaving the door open as that was how he was.
"I missed breakfast" he said siting her down on the bed as he sat crouched , his transducer flicked off so he sat in all his blueness in front of her " so what is it zoo want ,kitty?" he asked smiling he knew her too well.

[katherinepryde]

She smiled as the beautiful and pure version of him propped back up and she could stare into his eyes and trace the tattoos with her eyes. She unwrapped the burgers, took out the fries and handed him a bottled coke. He did know her too well, as if she could think of such a gesture without some idea behind it.

Kitty smiled, her brown eyes lightening toward him. "What? I can't bring burgers for a friend?" She laughed and handed him a burger. No, she couldn't and she knew it. "I just thought that you hang out in your room too much, Blue. You never come out, I mean, I understand why but..." She fixed her eyes on him seriously, caring. "I really like how you look, Kurt. And I know you like to swim, you should swim with me sometime." She smiled and ate a french fry, Lockheed digging into her bag to find his own box of fries. His purple tail hung out of the bag as the sound of fries being munched echoed from the inside.

[kurtwagner]

he took the fries and bottled coke and drank happy to be eating, she tipped his head. "thank you kitty but most don't see me that way all they see is the demon that I look like, I do like to swim " he said finishing off the burger and starting on the fries , he chuckled and pointed it seems some one else likes fires , "whats his name?" he asked not seeing such a creature before but he liked it.

[katherinepryde]

"Oh!" She'd almost forgotten the two hadn't met before, though they were almost alike. No one liked her pet for his appearance either. She snatched the baby dragon's tail and hauled him out for Kurt to see. "This is Lockheed, my baby dragon friend." The dragon nodded, fries all over his beak as he made a happy laughter sound in the back of his throat. He was the size of a very small dog with small, leathery wings that he used to fly. His tail was nearly a foot and a half long with a spike on the end. His scaly body was purple and his eyes a yellow like Kurt's. "I picked him up at a temple I visited in the Alps while I was out traveling. It seems I'm the only one that understands his grumbles, not even the monks could guess what he wanted. They were happy to give him to me since we bonded so well."

Lockheed hopped onto Kurt's knee and watched his tail on the end of the bed. The dragon jumped happily and showed his tail in return.

Kitty laughed, "He likes you, and he's rather proud of both your tails." She giggled. "And...so am I." She said the last part a little quieter.

[kurtwagner]

Kurt looked at th little dragon as it hopped on his knee his hand stroking its head as it looked at his tail he brought it around so the dragon could take a better look.
"I have never seen anything like him before. he smiled hearing her faint words she forgot he had good hearing "zhank you kitty" he said his tail moving to brush her arm "zorry it zumtimes has a mind of zit's own" he said

[katherinepryde]

She smiled with a laugh at the tickle his tail brought her. Kitty would have to be more mindful of what she did around Kurt, his hearing was impeccable. She slipped her hand down to pet Kurt's tail lightly and gave him a warm smile. She loved everything about him, his tail and ears and eyes the most next to his tattoos.

"So," She started with a hint of nervousness. "What have you been up to in here for so long?" She gave the room a look around idly.

[kurtwagner]

He smiled softly at her as she asked what he had been doing in his room "you real think zat is a quvestion to ask a man?" he said then spoke again "Contemplating, meditating among other zhings " he said and sighed slipping a fries into his mouth truing to put anything but his big blue foot with her. They were friends he could not have impure thoughts around her yet he had become increasingly unable to stop them.

[katherinepryde]

Kitty laughed and her cheeks grew stained with a fresh blush. She hadn't thought of what the question sounded like until she'd said it. Mentally, she kicked herself. "Well, I mean, you always lock yourself away. I think...maybe you think you need to put yourself in some sort of cage because of what you are? I mean, that's what it sounded like when Jean and Storm found you in the church." Though, at his sentence, she'd grown increasingly aware of him as a man in front of her and she a young woman.

Struggling to think on something else, she tapped Lockheed's head when he started on the remnants of her burger. "Mind yourself, jeez. You've eaten so much today, you eat much more you won't be able to fly." She poked the dragon's stomach and he gave a frown at her.

[kurtwagner]

He sighed at her words "it is for that very reason i hide if not behind my transducer zit is behind ze wood of ze door Ach du lieber... Do you not think i vish to walk among zu but i vood scare too many" he said and looked at his three fingered hand in front of him "I vish for one day some one to accept me vor who I am and not vot zay see"he said and again sighed

[katherinepryde]

Kitty watched the pain slip into his eyes and she bit her lip and leaned forward to place her hand in his. "I think you're too wrapped up in what you wish for, that you can't see it in front of you, Blue Boy." She smiled and traced the tattoos in his skin carefully. "I accept you, Kurt. I have no problem when the way you look, or your funny accent, or the way your tail moves without your notice." She smiled and offered her care, her kindness to him.

Kurt was a nice person, a good guy. He just beat himself up too much to see it. "Would it help if I told you what I'm afraid of?" She fiddled with her shoelace now, afraid to meet his eyes.

[kurtwagner]

Kurt sat listening to her he tutrnee on the bed to fce her "you don't have to Liebling" he said touching her hand with his hoping he ahd not over stepped his mark. he pulle back his hand and waited his mind wondering what she of all people would fear.

[katherinepryde]

She smiled faintly, "Well, it's no fair that I understand you so easily and I'm probably a locked book." She watched their hands together with a soft joy and refocused to speak.

"You know I go through walls, but...lately...it's like I have to focus to stay solid. Like, if I don't keep myself here, I'll just fall away. I'm afraid I'll phase myself out of the world and never come back. Not only in the physical realm but, in the social one as well. Like my passiveness will be the end of me. I'm a wallflower, but one that can fall through the wall and sink away further. It only makes sense that I'll lose it and never come back."

Lockheed's eyes welled up next to her and he nudged her elbow as her own eyes welled up with fresh tears.
