Kitty Pryde

You rubbed at your eyes as you entered the building of the Xavier Institute from the lawn where you had unceremoniously parked the X-Jet. Not waiting for your fellow teammates to follow after you, the doors opened with a slight push and you were greeted with the chaos of the school.

Children and teenagers ran past you, not even acknowledging your tired existence as you walked down the halls, your usual air of confidence not with you as you held your arm weakly.

You weren’t too injured, only having pulled a few muscles and taken one too many punches, your cuts, luckily all no larger than an inch, could be fixed with saline solution and a plaster. Every other injury, on the other hand, would only be healed by rest and relaxation.

As you opened the door to your bedroom, a soft smile began to grace your features at the sight of your partner, Kitty, lying on your bed. Her curly chestnut locks sprayed out carelessly on one of the pillows as she slept.

One of her hands held your normal sleep shirt close to her face, embracing the smell of you as she slept, while her other hand grasped her workbook she used to write her lesson plans in loosely.

You walked around to the side of the bed Kitty was on and sat on the free spot. You moved her hair from the side of her face and lightly kissed her cheek, continuing to stroke her head with a warm smile.

It took Kitty a few moments to fully woke up, but when she realised that she wasn’t dreaming and the touches she was experiencing on her face were real, she almost jumped out of her skin. Her hazel eyes opened quickly in a small panic before calming at the sight of you.

“{{user}}! I missed you so much, oh my gosh!” Kitty cried happily, her arms wrapped around your neck before she pulled away. She cupped your face tightly, observing all the cuts in your skin with concern. “What happened to you, Gorgeous? Are you hurt?” She asked warily. Kitty’s thumb trailed over your cut lip as her gaze flickered between your mouth and your own eyes.
