Prompt:
Several of you. Like literally all of you. Hope you like it! 🙂
After two months of living at the Mansion,
you fell into a routine. Every morning, Jean or Ororo would walk you down the
stairs for breakfast, and then Kurt would pop in, usually a few minutes later.
After that, the two of you would be inseparable. Not quite dating (yet) but
certainly more than friends.
After every class, he would teleport to you
so he could walk you to the next one. You ended up eating lunch and dinner with
him and the others pretty much every day.
And you noticed something while living at
Xavier’s. For once in your life, you weren’t an outcast. Even though you couldn’t
see, the others did their best to help you in every way and make you feel
comfortable and welcome.
You were walking to lunch, latching to Kurt’s
arm, as you usually did, when Hank stopped you. He was your science teacher,
and it had come up in discussion the day before that your mutation was the
reason you were blind.
“Hey (Y/N), can I talk to you for a second?”
he asked.
“Sure,” You replied, stopping. “What’s up?”
“Well um,” Hank started. “The discussion we
had in class yesterday about your mutation blinding you really gave me an idea.
I use a serum to suppress my powers temporarily. I’m not saying it’s a guaranteed
fix, but I could make a solution that works for a few hours maybe.”
“You’re saying you could give me my sight,
even for a few hours?”
“Theoretically, yes.” Hank nodded. “It’s not
guaranteed, but I think it could work.”
“Thank you so, so much!” You said excitedly.
Kurt smiled a little, but his smile faded when he realized what this meant. No
longer would you have a vague image of what he looked like. You would see him
in all of his blue, three-fingered, red-eyed glory.
He walked with you down to lunch and both of
you sat with the others. Your smile gave away your good news, so you shared it
with the others.
“So you might be able to see?” Jean asked,
smiling. You nodded excitedly. “That’s great, (Y/N)!”
“I can’t wait to put the faces to the voices,”
You said. Kurt still looked distant, but didn’t say anything. Jean took a peek
in his mind and looked at him with sympathy. She knew how each of you felt
about eachother, but didn’t want to intervene.
“So when might this happen?” asked Peter. “When
do you get to see how attractive I am?”
“I don’t know. I’m not sure. But I can’t
wait!”
“I bet,” Scott smiled.

It was a few days later that Hank came to you
with a little briefcase. He took you to his office, a few of your friends
standing there to meet you, officially, for the first time. Kurt, Scott, Jean,
Ororo, Peter, and Jubilee all stood there waiting in anticipation as Hank slid
the needle into your arm and squeezed the medication into your veins.
You closed your eyes. They stung a little,
but nothing too serious. You blinked, tears forming in the newly functioning
eyes. As soon as the medicine took effect, you heard a *bamf*. You rubbed your
eyes. Everything was fuzzy, but things began to come into focus.
You looked around at the mutants standing in
front of you and started guessing their names.
“You’ve gotta be Peter,” You pointed to him
first. The silver hair was a dead giveaway. “And you’re Jean, right?”
“Yep,” she smiled.
“Ororo, Jubilee, Scott…” you listed, pointing
to each one. You looked around. “Where’s…Where’s Kurt?”
“He teleported out a few seconds ago,” Scott
said.
“Why?”
“I think I know why,” Ororo shook her head.
“So do I,” Jean nodded.

“Right there,” Jean pointed from the steps of
the mansion. Kurt was sitting at the fountain, staring at his reflection. His
tail swayed back and forth, and the wind ruffled his black and blue hair.
“Which one?” You asked. As it was a Saturday
and the courtyard was flooded with students.
“The blue one,” She smiled. Your eyes found
him.
“Awwwww, he’s so cute!” You gushed. “I don’t
know what he’s so worried about.”
“Go get him, tiger,” Peter patted your
shoulder. You made your way across the courtyard, walking down the path. The
other kids stopped to look. They all knew who you were, and here you were
without anyone to guide you.
“Hey there,” You said quietly. Kurt turned, jumping
in surprise.
“I see you found me.”
“I did,” you motioned to the others on the
stairs. “With some help.”
“So…I’m ‘not much of a looker’ as Peter says,
ja?”
“Kurt, you are the cutest. Literally. You are
so, so cute. I don’t know what you’re so worried about. I mean, after all, blue
is my favorite color. And it looks so, so good on you.” You told him. He
smiled, heat rising to his cheeks. He felt like he might melt.
“You mean it?”
“Of course I do,” You smiled, happy tears
running down your cheeks. “I have been waiting forever to see you,”
“Oh, don’t cry, liebe,” he pulled you into
his arms, holding you tight.
“They’re happy tears,” you laughed,
sniffling.
“Ich liebe dich,” Kurt whispered so softly
you barely heard it.
“I love you too, blue,” you smiled, hands
rubbing his back. He gasped softly.
“You know German?”
“Only a little, and I only learned so I could
tell you that I love you in your own language.” You confessed.
“So are we…?”
“Dating? If you want to,” You told him. “But
I’m still going to need you to be my seeing eye man.”
“Vhy is zhat?” he asked softly. You pulled
out of the hug to look at him, lifting your hand to touch his cheek. He smiled,
and you took in all of the details of his face, every intricate design. You
tried to memorize every facet of him.
“It’s already going away,” You sighed sadly,
vision beginning to blur. He stared at you, wide-eyed.
“Zhen let me do zhis vhile you can still see
me,” Kurt said.
“Do what?” you asked, but you were cut off my
a pair of soft blue lips. He kissed you softly, passionately, like he would
never get another chance. His three-fingered hands held your cheeks, thumbs
softly stroking your skin as the colorful world around you faded to black once
again.
