"Okay, I think thats my ride." Kitty leaned against the wall, stairing at the stairs like she was about to descend into the bowels of hell.
"Shhh not so loud ohmyfuck." Jubilee crammed a big, flowery hat on Kitty's head, and then shoved a pair of sunglasses into her hands, "You're gonna need these."
Both girls winced, and Kitty hissed, "SHH!"
Whispering, Jubilee replied, "I'm trying to shh!"
"Not so loud!"
They both grabbed their heads that time and Jubilee guided Kitty back towards the stairs, "Go! And tell me what her boobs are like."
"What?!" Kitty flailed, nearly falling down the stairs and grabbing onto the railing, "Bitch!"
"No you!"
They looked at each other and then started to snicker. It didn't last long. Jubilee closed her door and all but crawled to her couch, begging for God to strike her down.
Kitty shuffled down the stairs and out towards Xi'an's car. Even though she had that hat and sunglasses, it still wasn't enough to block out the evil, terrible death ball in the sky. Or the shame. The hungover shame.
She shaded her eyes and hissed, then opened the door and got in. Her other hand went immediately to Xi'an's and took it, "I acted like an ass last night, I'm so, so sorry."
Xi'an smiled faintly at Kitty's hat and sunglasses. "It's okay. And I did warn you about the hangover."
"I feel like my brain is going to melt out my eyes," She replied, lifting Xi'an's hand to kiss the knuckles. Her misery made her feel like she needed closeness, "It's really okay?"
"It's okay," she said. "Just don't do it a lot, okay?"
Kitty held up three fingers, "Only the third time ever, hon." Oh, that was too loud. She groaned, "I think that was inevit..that was gonna happen eventually." Her brain hurt too much to think of big words, "With all the bad dreams and everything. Next time, ice cream."
The 'hon' was nice. And it made Xi'an smile again. "Icecream is much better, yes." She started driving, then asked, "You had more bad dreams?"
Kitty flushed slightly, "Oh, where do I start? Last night I had one where I was an Agent of some kind of government agency called S.H.I.E.L.D. I had to fix computers on a flying aircraft carrier, and it was possessed by that demon from the ninja dream."
She leaned forward, turning on the AC, "That one wasn't so bad. It was exciting, I woke up hor...er..."
Kitty coughed, and quickly continued, "The one where I'm dying though..I can't stop thinking about."
Xi'an's brows knit together. "Dreaming about dying isn't a good feeling, no. I'm sorry."
"Well. I'm inside this big thing. Like a bullet or missile. Big enough to wipe out the planet. No one can stop it, except me." Kitty glanced over at Xi'an, "How egotistical is that?"
"I do it too. Like how I can pass through walls, I make it pass through the Earth. But then I get stuck like that, and no one ever comes to save me." Kitty's voice grew progressively more rough until it cracked on the last word.
Xi'an gave Kitty's hand a squeeze. That was horrible.
It made Kitty feel like a selfish bitch, really, "Maybe I live? I don't know. I wake up before I find out."
"I hope you do." Xi'an brought Kitty's hand to her lips.
Kitty shivered, "I have a lot of...regrets..not kissing you was one of them. Although in the scheme of things that seems kind of selfish and petty."
Xi'an gave Kitty's hand another squeeze.
"What if these aren't just dreams, Shan?" She looked at the other woman, her voice soft. She'd hesitated in asking the question, but now it was out of the bag.
"...I don't know," Xi'an said. She didn't know what exactly these 'dreams' could be if they weren't dreams.
"I'm seeing people I don't even know in them. You've seen people talking about odd dreams on the network, right?" Kitty started talking faster as she got more agitated. She tried to calm down and slow her speaking, "We shared one. The exact same one." She trailed her fingers down Xi'an's cheek, then over her lips, "I'm relieved because it makes us closer but I'm terrified that you'll have something horrible."
Xi'an stopped the engine and leaned over to kiss Kitty. She hadn't minded the shared dream, but Kitty had a point. What other things might she dream about? What did it all mean?
Meanwhile, the twins saw the kiss and, not having any idea anything angsty was happening, high-fived each other.
"Oh..." Kitty hadn't expected that, and for a moment her headache faded into a dull pounding. She forgot what she was even going to say, instead leaning into the kiss as though Xi'an had tossed her a life preserver. She'd blame the sudden onset of wet eyes on the hangover.
She thought she might be fortunate Xi'an hadn't dropped her like a hot potato after those txts.
The kiss was a welcome break from the thought of dreams. And, mainly, Xi'an was just glad the boob picture had been texted to the person it was meant for rather than anyone else.
"...when you're heads feeling better, you might get a surprise."
"What..kind of..." Kitty's eyes were at half-mast and her voice barely a whisper. Then it hit her what Xi'an meant, "Oh you don't have to! I mean I wanted to get you naked the normal way. Oh god I meant get us naked together. Imean...I do want to see them!"
She wanted to facepalm but that would hurt too much. She kissed Xi'an again before she made more of an idiot out of herself.
Xi'an grinned into the kiss, cupping Kitty's cheek with her hand.
She really could get used to this. She hadn't been lying when she told Jubilee that she'd take Xi'an's kisses over a casual lay with a rich person.
God, why did I have to get myself that wasted? This would be more enjoyable without the hangover.
Without the hangover she'd probably be trying to get to second base, so there might be a benefit to that.
Because if she was the twins she'd be placing bets on that!
"Let's get you inside to a nice dark room so you can sleep this off, hmm?"
Kitty gave her a sheepish grin, "I don't suppose I could talk you into some cuddling until I fall asleep?"
And hair stroking. Hair stroking makes everything better.
Xi'an smiled. "I think you could manage that."
Kitty stole another kiss, like she had when she'd left the previous morning. Only it was just one and not fifteen. Then she got out of the car, and headed insidescaling the stairs like she was climbing Everest, acting like they hadn't been kissing at all.
Xi'an motioned for the twins to be quiet once she and Kitty entered the apartment. The twins just grinned. Xi'an rolled her eyes and guided Kitty back to Kitty's room.
Kitty fumbled inside her shirt, getting her bra off without flashing anyone as she was guided towards her bed. She only got her shoes off when she got her jeans off. Her panties were black and said 'Warranty Void if Removed.'
Then she crawled into bed. Her wonderful, safe, warm, soft bed.
Xi'an raised an eyebrow at the panties. Then she took off her shoe and sat on the edge of the bed to remove her prosthetic. Cuddling on a bed was much easier without it.
Kitty rolled onto her side and smiled, "You might be more comfortable without your pants, too. I promise I'll behave."
Gently, she added, "Your leg isn't going to frighten me off."
Her head hurt too much to stay conscious for much longer, so she couldn't be frightened off even if she wanted to be.
Xi'an smiled and slipped out of her jeans before cuddling up next to Kitty. "I'm glad it doesn't...bother you."
Kissing Xi'an's shoulder, Kitty murmured, "S'who you are..makes you beautiful and unique."
She stroked at the woman's stomach lightly, and moved her head to pillow on the shoulder she'd been kissing. She would declare this the best headache cure ever!
Xi'an stroked Kitty's hair and smiled. She really had lucked out when she'd met her.
"Sweet dreams," Kitty whispered, as she slipped into blissful, blissful slumber.Falling off that cliff so hard
