Warning: one swear word in German

Pairings: Kurt Wagner x Reader, some Cherik

Original Request: 

How about one where the reader wants Kurt to teach them some German, and asks for certain phrases, and after a while asks for a random phrase to try and figure it out, and he tells them I love you in German? And Kurt is just silently hoping they don’t figure it out, because he just told his friend and crush that he loved them, and oh god it’s really embarrassing (I don’t know if anybody has done one like that before, but I’m too much of a worry wart to write it myself)

A/N: This has been sitting in my inbox for a while and I haven’t posted any Kurt fics so why not!

You
were sitting on your bed with Kurt Wagner and you were speaking German. Well,
you were trying to at least. He had been spending every day for the past two
weeks with you trying to teach you German but it was hard as he was still
working on his English and you had never heard a single word of German in your
life. So, every day after class you would sit in your room or his room and he
would give you German lessons. Considering you had a particularly big crush on
the adorable blue mutant and had had one for several months, learning his language
had become a big priority for you. It wasn’t going easy though. You were trying,
but it was going as well as getting Angel to listen to opera music. Which is to
say, not well.

“Kurt, teach me another one!” You begged looking at the
entirely blue mutant in front of you. He looked hesitant as had had been for
the past hour.

“I’ve already taught
you 12 new phrases!” He protested with a smile on his face but was hoping you
could stop. He was going to say something stupid at the rate he was going. You
two had been spending so much time together and he couldn’t be happier. He had
fallen for you months ago, but had been too nervous to say anything. Now, every
say you were talking to him and being together was great, but he was afraid he
was gonna say something stupid.

“Teach me more!” You begged again. He sighed.

“Haben Sie einen guten Tag.” Kurt said. “Have a good day.”

“Haben Sie einen guten Tag.” You repeated slowly.

“That’s good!” He smiled showing off his pointed teeth. He
was happy. It felt inexplicably good to hear the person he had secretly fallen
for speaking his language. “Ich muss zum Unterricht. I have to go to class.”

“Ich muss zum Unterricht.” You knew you had mispronounced a
word or two but he was patient. You tried again and you were rewarded with a
smile. You loved his smile.

“Ich liebe dich, Y/N.” You waited, but he never said the translation.
He looked sad for some reason but you didn’t comment on it.

“Wait, what does it mean?” you asked in you confusion.

“I want you to guess.” He replied and you could swear he was
blushing as his face began turning purple.

“But I have never heard that phrase before.” You protested
wanting to know what he had said.

“Try.” With that last word, he BAMFed out of the room and
was gone. You sat there, mouth open, and knew you had to figure this out.

The next day you tried to look up the phrase in the library
but there was a slight hitch in the plan as you could not read nor spell in
German. You gave up after the words began swimming off the page. You had been
wandering through the mansion trying to find one of the other mutants who spoke
German. You knew of only two others. You eventually located one of them in one of
the lounge rooms.

Warren was laying on one of the couches with his wings
thrown over the edges with no shirt on his body and lounge pants on. You hadn’t
spoken to Warren much considering his wings scared you and you still didn’t
trust him but you had heard him on more than one occasion speaking to Kurt in
perfect German so you figured he was a good bet to figure this out. He watched
you walk up and he looked at you.

“Can I help you?” he asked in a curt tone.

“Ich liebe dich.” You said and you watched his eyes go wide
in shock.

“Excuse me?” he said sitting up wondering why you would
suddenly profess such a thing to him.

“What does it mean?” You asked before he could say anything
else.

“What does what mean?” he asked confused. You pinched the bride
of your nose.

“That phrase, ‘ich liebe dich’? What does it mean?” you
repeated. You watched a smug smile appear on your face.

“Who told you that?” he questioned staring at you.

“Kurt.”

“Oh. Well, kid, that’s your problem. Why are you asking me
anyway?” he held up the magazine he had been reading.

“Because you speak German.” You said like it was obvious.

“Well, I’m not helping you with your homework. Go ask
someone else. Verpiss dich!” You had a feeling you knew what that one meant.
You turned and walked off not seeing the sympathetic smile her threw your way.

You had one last option. You were gonna speak to Erik
Lehnsherr.

You found him sitting in the Professor’s office playing
chess with Charles. You knocked on the door.

“Come in Y/N.” the Professor beckoned. Erik looked up. “Erik,
I believe Y/N has a question for you.” Secretly, you were still scared of
Magneto but you were willing to do this if it meant figuring this out.

“What is it?”

“You speak German right?”

“Ja, ich spreche Deutsch, warum fragen Sie?” he responded.
You looked at him in delight.

“What does ich liebe dich mean?” you responded. Erik stared
at you. “I know the first word is ‘I’ and the last one I think means ‘you’ but
I don’t know the middle word.” He looked at Charles and gave him a very clear
WTF look.

“And, who said this to you?”

“Kurt. I already asked Warren and he told me to quote ‘Verpiss
dich’. So will you please tell me what it means?” you asked ready to give up.

“Erik, tell her.” Charles said looking at him.

“I don’t know Charles. It might be more than she can handle.”
Erik gave him a shark like smile

“Please tell me. I can handle it!” you begged and Erik and
Charles exchanged smug looks to each other.

“I love you.” Erik said and it took you a moment to register
this.

“What?”

“Ich liebe dich mean I love you in German. Ich liebe dich
auch means I love you too.” Erik smiled as your eyes widened.

“Thank you Mr. Lehnsherr!” You turned and bolted out the
door. Erik looked at Charles and smiled.

“Ich liebe dich, Charles.”

“Ich liebe dich auch, Erik.”

You found Kurt sitting on his bed reading and walked in. He
looked up in shock and saw you with a fierce look on your face. It was now or
never.

“Ich liebe dich auch.”

“Vas?”

“Ich liebe dich auch. I love you too.” You plopped down on
the bed and planted a kiss on his cheek. He looked at you in pure shock. You waited
for him to move. Finally he grinned wider than you and ever seen him grin.

“Ich liebe dich, Y/N.” he moved closer and kissed your cheek
as well.

“Ich liebe dich, Kurt.” You two smiled and closed the gap,
this time however, you stole his first kiss and he stole yours.
