Kevin and Soo

[southernreaper]

He's leaning against the doorway. He'd been dared, by a senior X-Man of all people, to do this. Said his puppy love was getting on nerves. Damn Wolverine anyway.

He's got his hands shoved deep into his pockets and he's wearing his typical black. His back is slick with sweat. He's never done anything like this before. Not even back at his high school. He'd always avoided dances and movie nights and everything that other kids had taken for granted. And now, he's here to do the exact opposite of that avoidance.

He closes his eyes and thunks his head back against the wall. This is going to be so bad, so so bad. Why is this a good idea?

Right. Dawn in the Danger Room with Wolverine and Jubilee. That's just not fair. Ask the girl he likes out or be pummelled into the ground. He closes his eyes on a groan.

This is going to go badly. But he hears the swish of fabric that is particular to her. He knows that sound. Opening his eyes, he pushes off the wall and clears his throat. "Hey, Sooraya? Ya got a sec?"

Comments

"Goats?" He asks, surprised. He can't imagine her passing the time herding the animals. He sees her doing something far more fabulous. Fashion design perhaps.

But then his smile turns a bit teasing. "You'll see. It's a surprise." He says, as the movie starts. "C'mon, movies' startin'."

"Yes," she laughs. "Little ones. I love animals," she confesses. "We raised them for milk and wool to make money."

She smiled at his teasing, nose wrinkling as she grinned. "Oh, I'll see? You're starting to be as closemouthed as Logan is."

[southernreaper]

He chuckles. He's glad she likes animals. She'll love the pest that is currently living in his forge. The pup had wandered in there, and due to some quirk, or genetic mutation (can animals have the XGene?) she's immune to him. He'd taken her first to McCoy to make sure that she would be safe around him.

He grins at the comment about Logan but settles in to watch the movie. Luckily, there are English subtitles, so he's not completely lost.

The movie is a beautiful love story, about a pair that are kept apart by feuding families. It turns out much better than the Romeo and Juliet story he was expecting. But he holds her hand through the whole thing.

When it's over, he glances at Sooraya, and then gently tugs her to her feet. "Come on. Food and then the surprise." He teases.

[x_coriare]

"Very well," she laughs, gladly holding on to Kevin; she likes his company, she likes him being nearby.

"Not going to tell me what this surprise is, are you?"

[southernreaper]

He waits until they're outside the theater in the cooling evening air, before he grins. "Don't like surprises?" He teases, heading for the car. He's bursting to tell her, but he wants to show her as well. There are things he just can't explain. One of them being the puppy he's been hiding for a week. Only McCoy, Forge, and Summers know about her. He likes it that way.

He opens the door for her. "So," he leans on the door, grinning like a fool. "We can go get food and then show you the surprise, or we can just head straight for the surprise and raid the fridge."

[x_coriare]

Sooraya pretends to consider that. "Oh, I'm always okay with raiding the fridge with you," she chuckles. "By all means, show me this surprise you have for me."

[southernreaper]

Kevin does something that people don't see him do very often: He laughs. "Alright, alright. We'll go back to the Mansion and I'll show you." He teases.

He's sure if there's nothing in the fridge that catches his fancy, he can whip up something.

He climbs into the car and buckles in. "Trust me, you'll be surprised and it'll be worth it."
