Kurt had missed her as well, she was pretty much like a sister to him. The academy had gone quiet when the three had left the few years prior but Star's constant letters had given him hope that they were fine and safe until the day had come that they ended altogether. He had worried about his friend, team mate and sister, in a sense. He would attempt to look for her when given the time but with Xavier having disappeared and the rest of the school leaving and returning as they pleased, it left Kurt with a great deal of stress to stay and be one of the only constants in their beloved school and home.

He listened to her words and when she spoke of the silence he was about to say that it is alright, that she is safe and sound and that his prayers had been finally answered. That she was doing alright and was healthy. That Ryan and Thema--

Oh, he just figured three or so possibilities of what may have happened between the three or onto the three and her tears made two of them a heavy possibility. He put down his wine glass and bamfed over to give her a hug. Gently pushing her to rest slightly on his shoulder as he patted her back with his other hand. "Es tut mir leid. I'm sorry. Es tut mir leid."

The phrases repeated, both meaning the same thing. He just didn't have the heart to try and make it right with anything else right now. It was obviously rather painful for her to speak of it and he was sure it may have been some of the uneasiness she felt about the mutant/human tensions in one of the last towns they had visited. In his mind, he was praying for the two lost souls. He'd always prayed for the trio but now, he knew and was aware of may have happened and hopes that they are able to rest peacefully and enter the gates of heaven as they were wonderful children.

So Sorry, Old Friend

She perched on his bed, a soft wite smudge that stood out against the dark, theatre inspired fabrics and posters of Kurt’s room. She had managed to get the crazy sparks under control, at least most of the time. Could pass for human on most days, with the right accessories, claiming that her hair had prematurely greyed. She had to make sure to not wear a lot of black, and dark-washed jeans were a rarity in her wardrobe. They washed her out. Her one rebellious concession was the black leather jacket that fit her like a second skin, that Thema had made her buy because she had claimed that if she didn’t bring it home, she was just going to kiss her senseless, and bring both Star and the jacket home, whether she approved or not.

To busy her hands and distract herself from sad memories, Star shrugged out of her jacket, and poured herself and Kurt glasses of the nice wine she’d brought from California. 

“I missed you,” she murmured after a second, voice nearly swallowed by the room. She cleared her throat and tried again. “I really did. I missed you so much… I’m sorry for the radio silence, too, I just, I couldn’t for a while.” She rolled the stem of her glass between long, delicate fingers.

“So, uh, you know I was living with Ryan and Thema for a while, right?” she asked, and took a long sip of her wine. “That’s not… I… Not happening any more. None of it. Not getting married, not living happily ever after, home’s been completely destroyed.” A single spark traveled down her face like a tear.

“I am but an outcast among mutants…”

[bamfatnight]

Not gonna lie, I thought your URL said "Bam Fat Night". And I was really happy for a second. YEAH, BAM! FAT NIGHT BITCHES! Also, is it true that if I rub your belly, your leg kicks?

[ The fuzzy blue elf blinked as he tried to figure out if the question was referring to him as a dog or not. Offended, yet not because he was a bit used to such reactions that he sighed lightly and glanced at the man. ]

I wouldn't know because I've never tried.

And I don't know vat 'bam fat night' means, if you vouldn't mind explaining zis to me?

[bamfatnight]

No, he wasn't.

There were times when Kurt had hoped to be normal for various reasons. Primarily because it may become easier for Kitty to look at him as more than just a brother or friend, as a lover. But it was something that would always be thought and never spoken. When he was young he had regretted and thought poorly of his appearance but never had he truly left as he did now.

But perhaps his current appearance could help him with obtaining her affections? Taking the God's hand, he stood up. Attempting to forget the problem and find out just how he currently looked. It would be most interesting to see his new 'development' and hope that it would be to her liking.

"Coffee, huh? I heard there's a good cafe not too far from here," it took only but a second to teleport the two about three blocks away from the park and in a private enclave. It was a pretty little cafe and somewhere he frequents normally as the fuzzy blue elf. He was eager to see everyone's reaction to his "normal" self.

@ Kurt

Confused by the smaller man word, the blonde god rubbed his back comfortingly, trying to soothe and calm him down, ” What do you mean Midgardian? Are you not always like this? ” he asked, wondering what he could have been before. He thought about it for a moment and figured that he must have been one of the mutant that his team mates had referred to. 

” Come along with me, and I shall help you. We can discuss what had happened over a delicious cup of your delicious coffee.” Thor smiled at him as he helped him up to his feet.

Her words spoke to him, she had been through a similar predicament as himself. His, however, differed due to the fact that he found religion on his own, as a literal means of salvation since he was lost and without food or shelter. "You may not have faith in God, but you do believe in your knowledge. Zat in it's own right is faith, Etch."

He knew long ago that not all had faith in God as he does but it mattered very little. It was the believe and faith in something that mattered, the fact that they had something to guide them but more importantly, something that made them happy that mattered.

She was happy in her world of knowledge, with her books. What right was he to judge her? She used the knowledge for good and her own personal pleasure, nothing more. She wasn't going to massacre or harm innocents, nor did she intend on harming via other means. 

"A book about bones?" A bit displeased and somewhat turned off, he looked elsewhere to see if there was some other rich non-fiction that she may recommend to him.

@bamfatnight

“I admire you for that,” she said, almost absentmindedly, gazing once again at the bookshelf. There was a long pause as her eyes scanned the title, before she continued. “Sorry, that was wildly unspecific. I suppose I meant all of what you said, really. I never could manage to believe in much of anything.” Her voice caught slightly as she went on. “My parents were both fairly religious but they died before it could make much of an impression.”

Etch smiled slightly. “So, I admire you for having faith in something. I’m far too cynical and pessimistic for my own good, I guess,” she finished, brightening a little and laughing. 

“Oh, it was nothing- just scientific ramblings from that one there,” she replied, pointing at the book she had shelved. “About bones, I think.”

"Mein Freunde, please stop. Zere is no reason for you to be sorry," he was speaking quietly. His arms around her back, softly patting her in hopes of her feeling better. When she pulled back, his yellow eyes watched her. He noticed the wine and the glasses, his eyes smiling a bit as he stepped aside to let her inside his room.

It was decorated with the latest movie posters and some of his classic favorites. He had films and cases everywhere, the entire room was filled with various movie paraphernalia that he had managed to purchase with his salary. He pulled up a chair and motioned for her to sit on his bed as he seated himself on the chair besides her.

"Star, don't feel you have to speak about it but I'm glad you came back. I couldn't find you last time and I could really do well spending some time vith you. You mean a lot to me, to everyone here."

So Sorry, Old Friend

The look on her friend’s face damn near broke her heart. She knew that she had fucked up, running away like she had before. Her heart fell into her shoes at the look on his face, but she threw herself into his arms, tangling her arms around his neck. 

“I’m so sorry… I’m so, so, so sorry,” she murmured into the fluff of his neck, as she clung closely to her old friends. Tears brimmed at her eyes, she felt so badly for scaring one of her oldest friends. Her fingers stroked along the back of his neck, curling there as she clung to her friend.

“I’m not okay, honestly. But I’m working on it.” She smiled at him, and released her tight grip, resting her hands on his forearms. She looked so much better than she had before, less like a lost, half-drowned kitten. Star looked almost like herself again. “I’m sorry that I scared you. I just… there are too many memories here, and I wasn’t ready to face them… Mind if I come in? I brought glasses, we can catch up and have a little wine… unless you’re busy?” She bit her bottom lip nervously, her eyes hopeful.

[bamfatnight]

The words being spoken about being brothers, mentions of Kurt's father and more were making the blue elf ever so curious but there was a morbid fear like presence within him that wished to just dismiss this man before him. He was certain that the other was mistaken or rambling about things that had little concern to Kurt.

The sudden change in appearance also made Kurt thing that perhaps this Astaroth was not like him, but instead a shapeshifter. Clearly he was one, seeing how it was more than just colors that changed and he was now swinging a tail very much like his own.

Remaining where he was, Kurt glanced around. Trying to figure out just what he could do to escape and/or diffuse the situation that seemed oddly dangerous to him but couldn't think of anything without potentially putting the other residents at risk. So instead he attempts to befriend the shapeshifter before him, "I'm a little confused. You said zat ve are brothers, zat ve share die same father. How is zis possible ven I am an orphan?"

@bamfatnight

Astaroth blinked at the cloud of smoke in his arms before turning to the spot Kurt had teleported to. He smiled, eyes permanently half-lidded and relaxed looking, “You teleport too? Well I should have figured that one, but its still nice to know.” He purred, leaning back against the counter, “I just came by to say hi to my baby brother, look at you, fighting crime and stuff, all grown up. Its absolutely precious~” He said, grinning, “As for me, I’m your oldest brother, Astaroth. Half brother anyway. We have the same dad, but you should be used to all those shenanigans.” He said, shrugging.

“Hope I didn’t scare you or anything.” He paused, looking down at himself before looking back at Kurt, “OH. Right. I don’t look like you do I?” He asked, laughing, “Its a human form I take out here, mostly though its just a change of skin tone.” He shifted, standing straighter as his skin turned red, his hair turned black, and his eyes turned an unearthly light blue. His tail swayed behind him, almost like a bored cat, “Better? See? Related.” 

[bamfatnight]

Kurt was a bit unnerved, he had not meant to teleport here nor did he have the slightest of clues as to what the woman had meant. He remained still, standing in his spot until he heard the 'pleasures of the flesh' line which caused him to step back.

His arms raised to about elbow length as he stepped back, creating some distance if the female were to move towards him.

"Entschuldigung, I zink I may have valked into da vrong room and you have die vrong person." He continued backwards until his tail hit the wall behind him, causing him to feel for an exit.

bamfatnight started following you

Well, well, well… Papa has been busy this century. Hello, little one, my name is Kasdeya. Now. Are you like Astaroth, and shall I bring you sweeties, or are you more the type for pleasures of the flesh?

[bamfatnight]

It would be deceitful if it was not admitted to Kurt having a turmoil of emotions at this moment. On one hand he was beyond ecstatic, something he had always desired had been mutual and not as one sided as he had always thought it to be. On the other he was embarrassed despite how confident and flirtatious he had been with Kätzchen when she was involved with Piotr, she had always missed his references and never really caught on her feelings for him; so this moment seemed surreal and he was most definitely at a loss for words.

Those were not the only emotions stirring up within him, those were only the main ones. He also had some sort of fear within him, slightly afraid that his relationship with Logan would become rocky. He was well aware the ageless man and his best friend is protective of Kitty and hopes this won't put a strain on either's relationship. He is also a tad bit worried that something may happen and he loses her again, whether or not they had this development, his love for her is strong and he's unsure if he could handle her being lost to him again.

But her actions cause him to temporarily forget, to close his eyes and respond accordingly to her tongue and lips. To hold her in a tight embrace and whisper sweet words, in German or English, in between their tender kisses. He was not going to allow for anyone to harm her or take her away, this was a promise he had made to himself.

His arms held the back of her head and waist tightly, as his fur softly caressed her. This was a moment he was to never forget, to always remember and cherish. She loved him just as he has always loved her.

His fangs would lightly graze her tongue as she would push it against his own. It didn't take long before he pushed her back and pulled away from the kiss. A gentle smile graces his lips before his tongue runs over them, moistening them up before he pulls her back in for a kiss once more.

reunion of two [dead] friends

Kitty stared at him worryingly as he didn’t react. She had ruined everything. He didn’t care about her like that, he just wanted to be friends, she’s spoiled everything they’d had together. She pulled back slightly in fear. She didn’t want to have to deal with his rejection but she couldn’t bring herself to leave. She felt her eyes well up with tears and she blinked to keep them back. And then he moved.

His words as he cupped her face surprised her, and she stared up at him. He loved her. Kurt, her best friend, the person she cared about most in this world, loved her. Just like she loved him. Her breath caught before she flung herself at him, pressing her lips to his again eagerly. “I love you too, Fuzzy.” She managed to push the words out between kisses as she pulled him closer to her.

This was everything she had dreamed of, everything she had wanted for years but was too afraid of losing him to pursue. She pushed her tongue past his lips cautiously, letting it explore and battle his. She smiled against his lips, still in awe that this was all happening. How had she gotten this lucky?

[bamfatnight]

Kurt had been deeply upset when Star had left, he wasn't sure what it was he had said or done but something scared her off as if she had seen something worst or more frightful than a ghost. Although, he knew that she wasn't quite scared but that is what it had felt like. She had relived a moment that she obviously wished not to see again and it was all triggered by something he did.

Never would he have thought that she would be back at his door after such a strange turn of events. His yellow eyes widened when he realized whom it was a few seconds after he'd opened the door in response to the knocks he heard.

"Star...," he said. His voice had trailed off, he wasn't sure if he should apologize due to the fact that it seemed she beared gifts in this second attempted of a reunion.

He pauses, "are you alright?"

His brow was raised in concern, his arms extending but he refrained from giving her a hug. Until he figured out just what he had done wrong last time.

So Sorry, Old Friend

Star was nervous as she went to go find Kurt. She had put on a cute dress, tied her hair off to the side, and brought her old friend a bottle of wine straight from the orchards of California. She had left in a hurry, angry and upset and unable to keep on being at the Academy for even another second. Her quick departure had to have worried him. Scared him. She had to apologize to him.

So with trembling fingers, Star knocked on Kurt’s door. She was about to open a whole can of worms in her memories, but he deserved her love.
