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.

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.
