WOT

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

Kurt sighed as he gazed out the window. New home, new view. It wasn't that he disliked the castle, but a part of him missed his home world, even if the X Men and mutant haters were there all along.

But he wouldn't give this place up for anything, it meant so much to his Joy, and it was safe for her. All he wanted was a good home for her. His Joy.... He loved her so much when he saw her he could barely speak, but still, because his courage had failed him completely and the heartbreaks of Ororo and Mara had only just started to pass, he was afraid to do anything but take her on picnics, and sometimes made her a fancy dinner, if he could pursuade the kitchen staff to let him help.

He hated his gutlessness, but he didn't want to rush her, or himself. He wanted things with her to work out right.

Joy shook her head at the footstool as she tapped gently at Kurt's door. "Guten morgan, mein Leib," she called.

Kurt turned, blushed, fought it, then smiled, teleporting to her, taking her hands, and teleporting her back in before he pointed.

"Look at ze dragons play," he smiled, pointing up at them, then blushing again and looking at her. "How vas your morning, leibe?"

[random_xtras]

"Gut. Sehr gut." Her fathomless eyes looked up at the little creatures, ears twitching in a smile at their antics. "Ach they've bairns learnin' tae fly."

He smiled, then looked away before glancing back at her.

"Vould you like to do somezing today?" he asked.

[random_xtras]

She laughed softly and concentrated on the Cafe, then led him through the door, only to stop and look around in surprised dismay as they instead came out into the foyer of a large house. "Ach."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Zis is not the cafe," he frowns, looking around and putting an unnessessarily protective arm around her. Then he realized with a jolt where he was, and felt every inch of him run cold. "Oh Gott...."

[random_xtras]

"Vhat is it?" She looked up, ears going back as her wings half-furled.

[random_xtras]

She lay her head against the back of his shoulder instead, those fathomless black eyes watching them as she drew comfort from the contact. "Ve'll go, but ye maun promise t' nae harm us."

"Ya smell like me. Why?" Logan demanded, growling.

"Wait," said a familiar voice, and Kurt felt his heart near stop as the professor appeared.

The older man looked at the piar for a moment, then shook his head.

"Logan, leave them be," he said, looking at the man, who scowled back but went to stand by Ororo. Then he cleared his throat. "Would you two care to join me for some breakfast?"

[random_xtras]

"Mein Leibe?" whispered Joy, reaching around him beneath the shelter of her wings to take his hand. "I kin git us through t' vall."

[random_xtras]

"Kurt...." Joy looked up at him with those soft deep eyes and gently squeezed his foot with the winghand that was nearer to him. Then she looked at Charles. "I dinnae fight those veaker than mesel'. Tis one 'o th' first laws me vader 'n moeder taught me as a bairn."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

Kurt looked away, troubled and upset, even as Charles sighed almost unnoticibly.

"Thank you," he said gently. "Now eat. You two look hungry."

[random_xtras]

Joy looked at the food and shook her head, seeing nothing that agreed with her. "I'm gut. Danke."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I see," he said, blinking. "And you've returned...?"

"I told you. It vas unintentional," Kurt stood up sharply, then stopped and took a deep breath before he turned away, then felt something inside him snap as he teleported away.

Xavier sighed.

[random_xtras]

"He did say it. Three times." She gave Charles a look. "I dinnae care vhat 'e did, bub. Pesterin' a man like an errant kinder's no vhay t' gain peace vit' 'im."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"I know, I didn't mean to antagonize him. But I can't help thinking there's a reason he's here, even subconsciously," he said, looking over at him. "Did he tell you what happened?"

[random_xtras]

She shrugged. "In all the vones I've heard 'o the peace don't come due t' the X-Men, though they're there t' help it vonce tis there."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Well perhaps a force who can bring about peace will come about," he said softly.

[random_xtras]

She shrugged again, then put her ears back as Logan's voice came from outside the room.

[random_xtras]

She slipped inside and walked to him quickly, wrapping him in her wings as she lay her warm hands against his chest and looked into his eyes, the love in them very apparent.

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

Kurt stared in near shock for a while, then suddenly realized what she was to him.

He blinked, then kissed her gently.

"Fraulin..." he whispered softly, wrapping his arms around her. "I love you."

[random_xtras]

"I ken." She lay her head against his chest with a sigh. "Ye've told me. Und I love ye too. More'n anythin'."

[random_xtras]

Joy started in shock, then lowered the wing nearer the door to look at the intruder without letting go of Kurt.

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Hank," Kurt nodded his head once, and the big man sighed.

"Forgive the intrusion. The professor wondered if you were planning on staying here tonight," he said.

"You vould haff to ask my fiance," he said softly, looking at her, happiness shining in long-vacant eyes.

"Ve'll have tae try goin' home afore ve know." She looked at the furry man with mild curiosity but was still much too content with where she was to want to move.
