Title: Everybody's Looking for Something: Chapter 1: Come Together
Pairing: Kurt/Evan
Disclaimer: Not mine. Never have been, never will. Please don't sue. The series title is from "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. The chapter title is from "Come Together" by the Beatles.
Summary: Kurt's worried about his friend Evan.
Warnings: This series will contain boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, and some of the characters do more than just kiss. Also, the characters are in high school. This means some of them are underage! If you can't handle it, leave. Also, there will be some (slight) swearing.
(Series) Notes: This is a six chapter story. Each story deals with a different pairing, but they go in chronological order. So Ch. 5 won't make any sense without having read the four previous chapters.
(Chapter) Notes: I'm not writing Kurt's accent for two reasons. One, no one I know that is German sounds like that. Two, it's extremely annoying to read. C'mon, anyone reading this should know what he sounds like.
Technical notes:
*Blah* for emphasis.
_Blah_ for German.
***** for a scene change.
Translations:
mit mir = with me
Scheisse = shit
mein Freund = my (male) friend or my boyfriend, depending on context ;)
Feedback: Yes please. If I don't know what was bad, it ain't ever gonna get better.
~Come Together~
Kurt stood outside the classroom were Evan and Pietro were finishing up their detention. He and Evan were supposed to be studying together, but Pietro had antagonized Evan at lunch. Evan retaliated, Pietro responded, and then both were staying after school. Kurt could hear the teacher's voice coming through the open doorway.
"I have to go. You two may leave when your essays are done. Put them on my desk unless you want a Saturday."
The teacher spared Kurt a brief "Hello" after exiting before continuing on her way. Kurt started to step in but paused when he heard his friend's voice. Evan had been acting... hesitant toward him lately. Any clue would be appreciated, and Pietro *had* known Evan before high school. He ducked back into the hallway before either boy noticed him.
"Leave me alone, Maximoff. There's nothing left."
"How can you say that? After all, there's still my gorgeous body."
"That's not what I meant, and you know it."
"None of your X-Geek friends know, do they?"
"And I'd like to keep it that way."
"But why? Are you ashamed of what we shared? You are, aren't you."
"Stuff it, Pietro."
"Maybe I should tell them.... They'd probably like to learn about their teammate."
"Remember, my secrets are yours too. So unless you want the Brotherhood to know...."
"...."
"I thought so. Later."
Evan looked surprised when he saw Kurt outside but put a smile on after a moment.
"C'mon, furry buddy," he said, clapping Kurt on the back while simultaneously steering away from the classroom. "Let's go tackle that math homework."
*****
"What were you and Quicksilver talking about at detention?" Kurt finally asked when he and Evan were ensconced in the library of the X-Mansion.
"Hmm? Oh, nothing."
Kurt let the topic drop and didn't bring it up again with Evan.
*****
Kurt caught Storm one afternoon when the X-Men had finished their training session in the danger room.
"Can I talk to you, Ms. Munroe?"
"Of course, Kurt. What is it?"
"It's about Evan. I overheard Quicksilver threaten him with some secret, and when I brought it up, Evan changed the subject."
"I'm sorry, but it's not my place to tell you."
"Please, ma'am. He won't tell me. And I don't want Evan to be hurt."
"If you really must know, Evan and Pietro dated before high school. Please excuse me; I must go."
Kurt pondered that tidbit of information as Storm walked away. Evan was gay? Apparently. But then why hadn't he told his teammates? They were all freaks anyway; one other thing wouldn't matter. Or maybe Evan thought it would. Kurt wanted his friend to know that he didn't care, but he needed to do it unobtrusively. He didn't want it to sound like he was accusing Evan.

It was movie night at the Xavier Institute. However, everyone but Kurt and Evan had begged off, most citing homework as the reason. The two were watching Top Gun while seated on an ornately plush sofa. Both boys had seen the movie several times, so neither was bothering to pay too much attention.
"So, Evan, what would you say if I told you I'm... romantically interested in someone?"
"I'd say, no surprise there. Anyone with eyes can see you pining after Kitty."
"And I'd say, it's not Kitty."
"Oh? And who is it you like?"
"You know, I don't think I want to tell."
"C'mon. One hint. Please?"
"Alright. I'm bisexual." And then, Kurt 'ported out of the room, leaving a confused-looking Evan on the couch.
Back in his room, Kurt wondered why he'd said... what he'd said. The bi thing wasn't a lie. He'd figured that out in Germany when he'd taken a more-than-casual interest in some of his favorite television characters. But he wasn't attracted to anyone now, was he? Flirting with Kitty was fun, but that was it. And wanting one of the Brotherhood? Ick.
Although, Evan didn't seem to have a problem with it. But it was before Quicksilver had joined the Brotherhood. Still. Evan could do much better.
_Mit mir_ for example, Kurt thought. Then paused.
That was a... different thought than usual. Evan was a nice guy, fun to be around, and charming in his own way. But that didn't mean Kurt was attracted to him. Oh _Scheisse_, he was.
*****
The next night, Evan pulled Kurt aside after dinner was cleaned up. Lucky for them, no one else was in the hallway.
"Kurt did-- Did you think I'd have a problem with you? You bamfed out of the room pretty quickly."
"*Is* it a problem?"
"No! I'm gay, so it'd be kind of hypocritical if I did."
"Good. So you wouldn't mind if I kissed you?"
"No...."
Kurt leaned forward and bussed Evan on the lips. When he finished, he could feel himself smiling foolishly.
"_Mein Freund_, I think that this is going to be the start of a beautiful relationship."
