You shook your head, creating a portal off the ground and leaping through it. You dropped out of another portal that was higher off the ground, and you landed gracefully on your feet. You were enjoying showing off to Kurt, hoping that you were impressing him with your mutation. Not many people asked specifics about your mutation, but Kurt was making you feel incredibly special right about now.

"I can do it as far or as close as I can see. I can make it as small as I want, and the largest thing I've been able to teleport has been a truck length-wise, but Professor's been working with me to expand it."

Kurt smiled, "Could you teleport us?"

You nodded, a blush creeping onto your lips, "Where to?"

"Anywhere!" Kurt said excitedly, rushing to your side.

"Okay. Before I do, the most important thing is to not panic. For a second or two, it'll feel like you're falling but trust me you won't be."

Kurt nodded eagerly, grabbing onto your hand and wrapping his tail around you. Your cheeks flushed at the action, and you squeezed Kurt's hand to reassure him. Quickly you opened a blue portal in front of the two of you. Pulling Kurt ever so slightly, the two of you walked together. As you expected, Kurt's grip tightened on you, and by the time you walked out of your other portal putting the two of your on top of the mansion a second later, Kurt was gripping onto you deathly tight.

You smiled widely, gently placing a hand on the back of his head, "It's fine, Kurt, see? No one fell."

He pulled back from your side slowly. His eyes widened once more at the fact that you'd teleported him so quickly, "That was awesome!"

"Awesome!? Kurt, you can literally teleport you and anyone touching your body!" You gushed, smiling at the boy.

"But you can create portals!"

You both broke into laughter at the same moment. You'd dreaded going to the mansion at first afraid people would try to use you for your mutation like many often did. However, you'd been beyond lucky to fit into Kurt's group of friends. And admittedly, Kurt was your favorite, and that might or might not have been because of a crush you had on him, but regardless, you were happy to be where you were.

"Hey, teleporting couple!" Peter's voice called from below, "Why don't you come down and join us all for some air hockey!?"

You smiled at Kurt and the fact that neither of you had left each other's arms yet, "We'll be down in a sec, Petey!" Glancing back at Kurt, you raised an eyebrow, "So... who's gonna use their teleporting powers now?"

"Definitely you," Kurt smiled, "Imagine Peter's face when we drop in and steal his spot on the couch!"

You laughed softly as you opened a portal, "Great minds think alike."

"Oh! Kurt!" You yelped, rushing to wipe your tears, "Sorry, what's up? Is everything okay?"

Kurt frowned, quickly walking to you, "I should be asking you that. Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?"

"No! No!" You nervously laughed, "Just... thinking."

"I'm always here to talk to," Kurt spoke softly, tentatively sitting beside you.

"I don't want to bother you with my stuff Kurt," You smiled at him, "Thank you, though."

"You don't bother me!" Kurt quickly defended, reaching for your hand, "I would love to help!"

You nodded, acknowledging that you knew Kurt would always help you, as you would love to help him. A gentle silence fell over the both of you, however, each of your thoughts seemed to be screaming into the air, begging you to speak up. Finally, you made up your mind. You would tell Kurt.

You hadn't imagined telling Kurt everything this way, but part of you knew it was safe. It was always safe with Kurt. Here, in the rose garden, you knew that you could confide in Kurt to be your secret comfort. Taking a deep breath and squeezing Kurt's hand, you sat up straighter, looking out directly in front of you.

"I'm scared," You whispered, tears rising to your eyes, "I'm afraid I'm gonna be alone forever because... I'm asexual. I'm not aromatic, I mean, I still like people, I just... don't feel sexually attracted to people. I just... I'm so afraid nobody will ever love me or accept me because I'm not interested in that."

"What if somebody was already attracted to you and accepted that part of you?" Kurt asked gently, taking your other hand.

"W-what?"

"(Y/n), I've liked you since you arrived at the mansion," Kurt smiled, squeezing your hands, "I don't care if you're asexual... that isn't important to me. I could care less about sex. I... I love your personality, your kindness, and your bravery. I admire everything about you, and... I'm rambling."

Tears rose in your eyes at Kurt's confession. You dropped his hands, unable to resist the urge to throw yourself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Kurt.." You cried softly, "I liked you too, I have for so long. I was afraid you wouldn't like me because of me being asexual."

Kurt hugged you back tightly, relishing in the feeling of you pressed to his chest, where he could keep you safe from everything, "(Y/n) that doesn't change a single thing about how I feel for you."

"Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Your soft cries slowly grew closer to a sob, "Thank you for accepting me, thank you for supporting me."

"I always will," Kurt smiled, squeezing you tighter, "It'd be a bit unfair for me to judge you for being asexual when I not only have a tail, but I'm also blue."

A chuckle slipped through your lips as you sat there, wrapped up in Kurt's arms, feeling safer than you had in a long, long time. Nobody's opinion mattered at that minute. Kurt liked you and accepted you for who you were. A multitude of feelings swarmed over you, drowning you in them and giving you the strength to conquer anything, as long as Kurt was by your side.

As if he could hear you thinking about him, Kurt looked over to you, a large smile on his face as he gave you a small wave. Immediately you looked away, heat overtaking your cheeks as Peter laughed.

"(Y/n), it's not that bad. I know he likes you back. You just need to talk to him!" Peter scolded you playfully as he watched Kurt's shoulders drop before he readdresses his attention back to Jean and Jubilee.

You scoffed, your cheeks still flaming red, "Peter I--"

"Hello (y/n)!" Kurt's voice suddenly rang in front of you as Peter now held him.

Immediately you flushed again, your gaze flicking from Kurt to Peter and settling on the ground, "H-hi."

You missed the way Peter nudged Kurt forward, an encouraging nod being sent from the silver-haired boy, "I uh.. how are you?"

"I'm good... how are you?" You immediately praised yourself for not stuttering.

"Good! I was going to ask if you and Peter wanted to join us, but he ran me over here before I could come myself."

Peter smiled proudly, wishing you would take your damn eyes off the ground and look at Kurt. Instead, you kept your gaze down, even as you slowly stood up. 

"Thanks, Kurt, but I have to get going. I have a meeting with Charles."

Just like that, you bolted off, seriously making Peter contemplate the idea of running and grabbing you. But you made him promise not to, and contrary to popular belief, Peter kept promises quite well. Kurt sighed, turning to Peter with a frown that made the silver-haired boy want to slap some sense into you. It was so blatantly obvious that the two of you liked each other, acting like nervous kids and not superhero mutants! Everyone could see it besides you two!

"I told you she doesn't like me," Kurt sighed, patting Peter's shoulder once before he 'bamf'ed back to Jean and Jubilee.

Peter sighed in frustration as he watched your retreating form enter the mansion. He knew that you were shy, and he also knew that nothing would ever happen between Kurt and you if you didn't say anything. Kurt was so set on the idea that you didn't like him that it scared Peter. However, Peter was tired of all this waiting for one of you to do something and quickly decided to create a plan of his own.

It was only three hours later that Peter appeared in front of you with a devilish smile before you were in a different room, Peter seemingly gone.

"Pete?" You shouted, "What the hell?"

"(Y/n)? Do you know what's going on?" 

You spun around in horror, a squeak leaving your mouth as your eyes landed on Kurt. Immediately you shook your head and bolted to the door, yanking on it as your face flushed in embarrassment. Peter, who stood happily on the other side of the door, gave a thumbs up to Jean and Scott. 

"(Y/n)? That you?" Pete called teasingly.

"Peter, I swear to god, open this door right now!" You shouted, yanking desperately on the handle.

Peter rolled his eyes, "Not until you two talk this out! You both know what I mean! Kurt! You're not allowed to teleport! If you teleport, I'll just run you back!"

"Peter!!" You yelped, kicking the door.

Kurt gulped, watching as you seemed to begin panicking, "(Y/n), may I ask you a question?"

You turned slowly, trying to look at Kurt, but you decided you couldn't. You turned your gaze away but still faced him, your cheeks flaming red, "Y-yes."

"Have I done something to make you dislike me?"

Your head snapped to look directly at Kurt, and you froze for a second. He looked incredibly hurt, and it made you scrunch your eyebrows in confusion. Had you really been giving the impression that you disliked Kurt? Surely not. Peter was constantly saying how obvious it was that you liked Kurt. 

Realizing you had been silent for too long, you shook your head, "No... no, no, no! Kurt, I didn't mean to give you that impression. I just get so nervous around you. I always get all flustered and shy because I like you so much, and I--"

"You like me?" Your eyes widened as Kurt smiled, "Like, you like like me?"

"I uh..." You felt your cheeks grow flaming hot as you stuttered, "I... I uh..."

"This is great!" Kurt cheered, quickly walking up to you, "I like like you too!"

Slowly, a smile found its way to your lips as you gazed at Kurt, "You do?"

"Yes! I've been wanting to tell you, but I thought you didn't like me!"

You threw yourself into Kurt's chest, wrapping your arms around him tightly as he mocked your actions. His tail wrapped around you also, and you found yourself smiling impossibly wider as Kurt rest his head on yours. The two of you listened at the door opened, and Peter's 'whooping' filled the air.

"Haha! Yes! I told you guys!" Peter cheered, beyond happy at the sight of you and Kurt hugging, "I am the best matchmaker!"
