Broken - Reader x Kurt Wagner - an X-men fanfiction

6 Company

Kurt was talking with Peter when he heard a door shut. Peter and Kurt nodded to each other and headed to their wing. Once they arrived, they saw Jaedon with a concerned look on his face.

"It's been a few hours. I'm sure she's calmed down by now."

"Well, good luck. I have a class, so..."

And with that, Peter zipped away. Kurt rubbed his arm and hesitated to speak. Jaedon cleared his throat to catch Kurt's attention.

"Why were you really up last night?"

"Well... I woke (Y/n) up from a nightmare and we went on a walk together."

"Why did you lie?"

"Because she did..."

"Do you want to talk to her?"

"I would, but what do I say? I have the feeling this has something to do with me..."

"I sincerely doubt it. She's probably just upset that you didn't stay with her last night. Seeing as you fell asleep leaning against her bed."

Kurt blushed lightly, still rubbing his arm. Jaedon rolled his eyes and knocked on (Y/n)'s door.

"Yeah?"

"Feeling better?"

"A little..."

"Want to talk about what happened?"

There was no response, so Jaedon took that as a no. He rolled his eyes and motioned to the door while looking at Kurt, then went to his room. After Jaedon shut the door, Kurt stood in the hallway, thinking about what to say and do. He swallowed hard and knocked on the door.

"(Y/n)? It's Kurt.... can I come in?"

"Sure..."

He said a silent prayer and walked in, closing the door behind him. The room was a little messy, papers scattered all over the floor and multiple broken pencils. Most of the papers were blank, but some had some writing on them; a majority of the writing was illegible.

"F-feeling better?"

(Y/n) sat on the edge of her bed, hugging her knees and staring down at the ground. Slightly shaking as she took deeper and deeper breaths.

"A little... I suppose... I had to blow off some steam."

Kurt felt even worse, still wondering if it was about him or the moments they shared the night before.

"If you don't mind-"

"I'd rather not talk about it right now."

He swallowed and nodded, moving to sit on the bed next to her. He contemplated his next move when she moved to lean against him. He tensed for a second before easing up a little. She wasn't mad, just scared. He thought back to the night before when she looked at him with such a happy smile when he was there to help. So that's what he did; he stayed and kept her company.

"Thank you..."

"For?"

"Staying."

~~~

Kurt and (Y/n) sat in comfortable silence for a while, simply leaning on each other and enjoying the company. Kurt was relieved that whatever happened wasn't his fault or at least wasn't a big deal anymore. Eventually, (Y/n) pulled back a bit and looked over at Kurt.

"Thank you. I feel a lot better."

"I'm glad."

(Y/n) cupped his chin and moved to kiss his cheek softly. He blushed and his eyes widened a bit. She chuckled and hugged him tightly. He hesitated, but hugged back.
