You were exhausted from training today with Jean. And all you wanted to do was run to your room and sleep. But as you walked passed the living room, you saw Kurt laying on the couch, alone.
“Hey blue.” You muttered, walking over to him.
He glanced up at you, his mind flustering, creating him to drop the tea he held with his tail. But before it could fall over him, creating a mess, you froze it with your powers.
He flashed you a nervous grin, sitting straight, and placed his cup down onto the table. “T-Thank you.” He exhaled.
You shrugged your shoulders, and plopped down beside him. “No problem. So, what’re you reading?”
By being so close, Kurt’s heart began to pound profusely. “T-The O-outsiders.” He hesitated. “P-Professor Xavier thought I-I Vould like it.”
“Oh! I love that book. Pony boy and Soda Pop. Right?” You chuckled. Making yourself comfortable, you decided to lay on him. Your head pressed against his chest.
Kurt fell still, his breath shaking in the back of his throat. He wasn’t sure what to do or how to react. Especially around you.
“You are ridiculously comfortable…” You exhaled, feeling your eyes grow heavy.
Your words made him smile, knowing that you saw him for him and not some creature. It made him feel wanted.
“Read to me.” You whispered.
Kurt glanced down at you, a smile playing on his lips as he watched your head slightly move up every time he breathed. “O-Okay.” He muttered.
As he began to read, you felt yourself give in to sleep. Your arm draped over him. Being with him, you felt safe. And hearing him soothed you.
But before drifting into complete slumber, you whispered one last thing.
“You’re pretty amazing.” You mumbled.
In that moment, Kurt felt everything fall into place. As he looked down at you, his heart was now whole. And every bad thing that had happened, ceased to exist when he looked at you.
As you lost the battle, and you were now lost in slumber, Kurt pushed the strand of hair out of your face, and smiled.
“And you are the most beautiful girl in the world.” He whispered.
