Circus - Kurt Wagner One Shot

From the moment of your birth you were different. Different in so many ways but just by looking at you, your parents knew what you were. Mutant, you were a full-blooded mutant. Your eyes were yellow, your skin red, a tail as long as your body, and the power to teleport. Your parents were mortified but they did not give you away, they simply locked you up. For a majority of your life you had seen nothing of the outside if it did not pass your small window. Being taught in private by your father and fed by your mother, you weren't happy but not exactly sad either. 

You weren't sure what to feel because you hadn't known anything else. When you were seventeen your mother and father were given a large sum of money by a man you'd come to learn well. You had been sold for an amount of money that was barely anything to laugh at. You were still unaware at this point that you even had the ability to teleport, you'd find that out later. Cuffed, tasered, and placed into the back of a truck you were driven for a long time to an unknown destination.

You met Kurt when you were finally at your destination, you found out that you had been sold to a German Circus for about 100 grand. You over-heard some men talking, they were calling you-the new act; and unwilling participant the "Lady Devil."  You were not happy with that, you hadn't been given any opportunities to feel anything but this you didn't like at all. 

In a cage, like an animal, stuck by yourself out of the way so no one was given a sneak peak of the "big attraction" before its reveal. You really started to feel all of the emotions you had yet to experience. You were angry at your parents for selling you. Sad that you were alone. Happy to have met a friend but most of all, lonely.

"Hello, again." Kurt's voice startled your and you clasped your hand over your chest.

"Don't do that!" You didn't have much of an accent because you had never talked much while with your family.

"I do apologize." He flashed you a white grin and you blushed, something that did not show against your already red skin.

"I hear zat zey plan on letting you show tonight? It iz zuppose to be for an 'alloween special or somzing like zat. Are you going to be alvight?" His accent had always made you smile, or maybe it wasn't the accent but the man behind it?

"I will be alright," you stopped for a moment and examined your hands nervously "will you be there?"

He nodded enthusiastically, he had clearly become fairly used to this life but you weren't as quick to catch on. Not because you weren't smart enough or that you lacked the mental capacity for these activities, it was just childish to you. Making grown men and women dance like monkeys at the end of a puppet strings.

That was a long, long time ago and within that time you've learned so much. You had started to develop an ever-so-slight accent and can now fully control your teleporting ability. You have stayed next to Kurt all this time because he became your only friend. He was the one you cried to when you were sad, the one you laughed with when you were happy. He was always right there. Even when you didn't want him around or you were angry he was there.

"Kurt?" Now able to go wherever you pleased you opted for a more stable life within the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

"Kurt?" You called out for him again, your tail swishing mindlessly behind you. It had always had a mind of its own.

"Sorry!" His tale-tale 'pomph' that signaled his arrival made you swirl around to face the blue man.

"I vas talking vit ze professor!" You offered him a kind, understanding smile because despite all of the things life had thrown your way you were still pretty happy.

"No vorries, hm, I meant no worries" you blushed looking away from him quickly to avoid embarrassment.

"Oh would the two of you love-birds just kiss already!" Your eyes widened and your head snapped around to the very familiar voice of Logan.

"And vould you go both someone else!" You snapped, no one said you could control your temper but you try hard to keep it in check.

"Hey, shh, let's go somvhere else" Kurt, in a moment of bold courage grabbed your arm and teleported you to the one spot you knew you could no longer stay angry. The lake.

"I'm sorry, Kurt." You looked across the lake, unable to make eye contact.

"Um, no vorries, right?" you grinned hearing him use the same phrase you had earlier.

You reached out and grabbed his hand, something you just didn't do. you had never been good with physical contact and so it was naturally foreign to you. You moved closer to him, shoulders touching and your tail slightly touching his. It was an intimate moment for the both of you and one neither of you would forget.

"Who vould have thought that this would happen?" you whispered to no one in particular and Kurt only nodded in agreement. 

"All because of some circus freak. . ." you whispered enjoying your time with Kurt.
