Who: Mike Chang & Kitty Pryde
When: December 24, 2010
Where: Lawrence, Kansas: Apartment Complex: 605 - Kitty's Room
What: Mike goes to see Kitty. DRAMAZ.
Ratings: PG-13

Mike had a lot of issues to work out. Evil twin, clone, whatever aside, Christmas was right around the corner and he really didn't want to spend it fighting with Kitty. She was special to him, even if he refused to label whatever they were and he didn't want to see her anymore hurt than she was, but he couldn't help the hurt and confusion he was feeling. Even if Elliot had his face, and he would maintain that it was his for all of eternity, finding Kitty kissing someone else had ignited a lot of anger.

Mike rarely got angry. Danny had knocked him out cold and he hadn't so much as shouted about it, which went to show you that Mike tolerated a lot. But seeing Kitty kiss someone else? Yeah, that wasn't going to go over too well with him.

But he knew that he was being too harsh on her. Even if he felt like she should have somehow magically known it was not him, she really had no way of knowing. So he was finally sucking it up and going over to talk things out. He wasn't going to say he was sorry, but he did want to make things...right between them.

Coming to a stop at her door, he stared at it hard before finally raising a hand to know.

Mike really wished things were as simple as things had been in the future. He had four years to get over Tina. Four years. He remembered them so well, so vividly. But he also remembered these past three months. It had been three months since he had been with Tina. And as short as their relationship had been, he had known her nearly his whole life and it was hard to get over that in just three months.

He wished this easier, that there was a magical off button for feelings, but there wasn't such a thing. If only it was that easy.

Still, his feelings for Tina didn't overshadow those that he had for Kitty. It was obvious in the way he waited until she closed the door to pull her close and hug her. "I'm sorry," he repeated into her hair. "I really missed you." Mike had never felt as lonely as he had, when being mad at everyone. And absence truly did make the heart grow fonder, evident when Mike nearly lifted Kitty off the ground with his hug. "I really, really missed you and hugging you and other stuff..." He trailed off with a smile.

Kitty was probably lucky, unlike Mike. She hadn't been in a relationship at the time she'd been taken. Sure, she had people that she cared about and that she wanted to be around, but they were friends. Leaving her friends behind was hard for Kitty. She missed them a lot. Still, she wasn't in the situation that Mike was in. She didn't have a relationship to worry about and be caught up on. She understood all of it, but it didn't stop her feelings from getting in the way.

Why couldn't emotions be more logical? It kind of sucked. Kitty didn't want to get hurt, she didn't want Mike to be hurt either. She just wanted the both of them to be content, honestly.

Kitty couldn't stop how she felt about him any more than Mike could stop how he felt about Tina, though. He made her feel good, there was just something there. She was surprised that he pulled her into a hug, but in a good way. She automatically hugged him back. "I know, Mike." She said, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I missed you too." She told him back. She had missed him. Not talking to him and him being angry with her had been hard. She didn't even mind that he was practically lifting her off the ground either. Giggling a little at his words, Kitty gave him a squeeze. "All of the above on my part too."

It filled him with a warmth that he hadn't realized he was missing this whole time, to be hugging Kitty like this. To be close to her, to smell her hair, to lift her in the air...it was intoxicating and he wanted it. He wanted to always be able to do this. She wasn't Tina, but she was Kitty and that had been enough for him in the future and he was sure that with a little bit more time, it would be okay for him in the present too.

Putting her down and pulling away slightly, he said, "I want to do this right. I don't want to mess this up. You know that even though she isn't here, I still love Tina...but if you stick through it, I think I can move on from her." He hadn't said it in so many words, but he wanted her to be his girlfriend. "I love you too, Kitty. I'm not going to deny it anymore."

MIke hadn't admitted it to himself, but part of the reason why he had been so angry was because their relationship had been left so undefined. But he was fixing that now, or at least he hoped he was. He was still, after all, only sixteen years old.

Kitty had really missed Mike. There was no question about that in her mind at all. She had known that she missed him. She'd been thinking a lot about him. Having him here, hugging her was pretty much the best right now. Things felt better already. Better than they were anyway. Mike was a great guy. Honestly, he made mistakes, he was human, and sometimes the two avoided things, but he was still wonderful. She couldn't call him her's, but he was amazing in a lot of ways. No one was perfect. She didn't expect him to be. Hell, she loved him despite his imperfections and that was the way to go. In the future his little quirks, habits, and imperfections had made him even more endearing.

Feeling her feet touch the ground, Kitty smiled. She'd never say it to anyone, but she liked being picked up sometimes. This was definitely one of those times. Looking up at him, Kitty blinked. "I know." A smile broke over her face. He thought that he could move on from Tina. That was....pretty much some of the best news he could have told her. that was the best thing he could say to her at the moment. "And I'm definitely sticking with you." Her smile was bright and she was pretty sure she understood exactly what he meant with that. She hoped, anyway. And then he said something even better. "Good because I love you too." She was smiling. Most of her was pretty positive that it wasn't difficult to tell she loved him.

Kitty was starting to feel much better than she had. This....was pretty much the best case scenario. She had hated that they had been so undefined. This felt better.

"Okay, so does this mean I can officially get irrationally jealous whenever that prick Nathan starts talking to you? Or when Puck hits on you?" Mike asked playfully, pushing her hair back from her face so he could see her clearly. He was grinning wide to show that he was only joking about what he was saying...even though what he was saying was how he really felt. Nathan was on his list for being a douche and Puck was on it for oinking at his girl.

His girl. Mike couldn't help how his smile seemed to get brighter at the thought of Kitty being his girlfriend. Would getting her a nametag that said, "Mike's Girlfriend" be overkill? Probably. But she brought out this silly side of him that he hadn't felt since Tina. At the thought of Tina, his smile seemed to dim a smidgen...until he said, "This means I can call you my girlfriend, right?"

The weights on his shoulders seemed to lift with every passing second. He was happy for the first time in a long time, without confusion or drama. And it was all because of Kitty. It felt good.

Kitty laughed, it was a genuine laugh that felt good too. Hearing him say that was more than a little cute and it did feel good. "Hmmm...I think that means that you can officially do all of the above." She told him, a wide smile on her face as he pushed her hair out of her face. She was glad that he was touching her, it was comforting having him right there. Even if he was joking about it, she wouldn't mind if he actually did it. It wasn't like she was interested in Nathan or Puck. She'd love it if they would both just steer clear. Didn't mean that it would somehow magically happen, though, unfortunately.

This was what Kitty had been hoping for. This was what she wanted. She liked the distinction, the definition, the title. He was her boyfriend, she was his girlfriend. It felt nice to have that distinction. Nodding, Kitty impulsively kissed his cheek. "You can definitely call me your girlfriend, boyfriend." She teased him a bit, feeling happier than she had in a little stint of time.

She felt lighter and much happier than she had. He wasn't angry with her. They had actually stopped putting things off. They had talked and it had ended in a way that Kitty had only hoped for.

For just a few minutes, Mike was happy. He had no idea what was to come, how difficult his life was about to get, but for now he was focused on just Kitty and how much he loved her. It was scary admitting it, but there was a weight lifted off his shoulders for now.

"Okay, so I think this calls for a celebration?" Mike suggested, wiggling his eyebrows. If he was Puck, he would have followed that up with a dirty comment. Instead, he picked up Kitty and threw her over his shoulder. "I say we go get some pizza and then go see TRON."

While they had done a little more than kiss before, he was suddenly shy again. It was different now that they were officially going out. It was all new and exciting all over again and he loved this feeling.
