The Fuzzy Dude ( Nightcrawler X Fem!Oc)

Ch 6. Dammit Grey!

Jean and I sit on a bench as Jubilee runs rampant in a nearby store. We've already been to a few shops and I am completely tuckered out. I sigh as I relax into the cool metal of the bench and Jean let's out a giggle.

  "How does she have so much energy?' I question tiredly.

  "Must be a secondary mutation." Jean jokes. I grin and look around the mall. I see kids playing by gumball machines, old couples sharing ice creams, young couples walking hand in hand.

  "This place really is amazing." I say softly, not realizing I had spoken aloud.

  "You really are like Kurt when we first brought him to the mall. He didn't have much luck clothes shopping, but he did find the red jacket he's wearing today on our trip." Jean says with a small smile.

  With the mention of his name, I remember my question. I bite my lip and look over at Jean.

  "Hey Jean? Can I ask you a question? A-about Kurt?" I sheepishly ask. She looks at me in surprise.

  "Of course Katie, what is it?"

  I take a small deep breath.

  "I don't know if this is out of line to ask, but is he also a telepath? Or does he have some sort of emotional manipulative powers?" Jean cocks her head in confusion.

  "No he doesn't... Why do you ask?"

  I blush and scratch the nape of my neck.

  "Well In the car I realized how calm he makes me. Its strange, seeing as how we just met. But it's as if since the first moment I laid eyes on him, I've felt comfortable around him." I ramble. I look over to jean and see a big smile plastered to her face.

  "Wh-what? Did I say something weird? Are my ears out?" I question, patting my head to check. Jean chuckles.

  "Katie you didn't do anything weird, you did something... Lovely!" I mimick the confused look Jean gave me a moment ago.

  "Whaaat are you talking about grey?"

  Jean grabs my hands.

  "Katie, you have a crush on Kurt!" She exclaims. My face turns beet red as I take in her words. Oh no. A crush? But I just met him? How is this possible? Well I mean he is kinda cute. With his blue skin, thick accent and kind nature. The way that red jacket compliments his skin tone is kinda attractive... And seeing him so calm at the mansion earlier... Not to mention...

  "Katie likes Kurt?!" I hear Jubilee exclaim. I look over and see her standing in front of the bench, shopping bags in hand.

  "W-well I, I don't know I just... It's not... We just!" I stammer. Jean giggles.

  "Your thoughts are saying otherwise Bloom." Jean smirks and taps her head like the professor did when I first met him. Jubilee squeals in excitement.

  "Dammit Grey!" I exclaim as I bury my face in my hands. My bunny ears popping out.

  "Bunny ears mean we're on the right track." Jean taunts. I groan and lean back on the bench.

  "Ooo we should get you a super cute outfit! Something that'll make Kurt really notice you." Jubilee says. Jean agrees with her. What proceeds is an hour long dress up session where Jean and Jubilee drag me from store to store trying to find the right outfit. Originally I went reluctant, but ended up having fun. I was still processing these feelings of course, but I figure why not take my new friends advice? And why not try to have fun, at the very least.
