I Am But A Fool

"!" Kurt jumped as the alarm next to his bed went off. Bringing his arm up he batted the old radio to the floor with a lazy swing.

Today was the day. The rest of the class would be reading their poems, and confessing to their special someone.

// At least mine is done...// he sighed. He'd confessed his love for his dear Kitty yesterday, in the only way he knew how. A very sappy poem.

He'd then spent the remainder of the day, and most of the evening waiting to have his head biting off.

Kurt groaned kicking off the covers, and walking over to the mirror.

A small smirk lit his face.

// but she liked it // his reflection likewise smiled back at him.

They had gone for a walk and talked about..themselves...they had even shared a first kiss. That is until Logan had showed up, and interrupted them. But still.....

// she likes me...!!// Kurt laughed happily porting down to the breakfast table.

***************************************************************************

Kurt sat on the bench watching Evan as he practiced his skateboarding routine, over their lunch break..

He had been waiting for their English class most of the day, psyching himself out over it.

Kitty still had to read her poem.

// who would it be..// he felt butterflies in his stomach. She had had her poem finish over the weekend, even before he'd started to work on his...before he'd confessed...........

Kurt shook is head... // Does that mean I am too late...? Uh no....is her special someone......someone else...?//

"It has to be..." He gasped "She didn't even realized I cared for her until last night..." he hung his head, his Kitty had someone special all along.

Last night didn't make any difference at all.

"Oh Kitty, how you make me cry...but if you leave me I will surely.."

******************************************************************

"Die, die die...."

"Er...thank you Colin.." The teacher grimaced, as the nerdy looking red haired boy made his way back to his desk.

Forcing a smile to her face once more the teacher pick up her list, looking down at the remaining names of those unfortunate students still waiting to go.

" Next, we have the poetic talents of Lance Alvers..."

"Oi, this outta be good yo," Todd whispered to Fred, from the back row.

"Ahem," Lance cleared his throat. "What you are to me....to me you are...........like a rock...strong and steady like a rock....always ready, like a rock..."

"Always ready for what..?" Todd exclaimed "It's a rock for crying out loud!"

Scott groaned "That man has issues.."

"Scott, would you like to go next.."

"Yes ma'am" Scott mumbled, walking up to the front, passing Lance on the way.

"Good luck Sumners." Lance sneered.

"Rock on Alvers" Scott smirked.

And so the class continued with Scott's poem "If you could read my mind.." to Jean's " The guy in shades and various others, till at last.

"Kitty, are you ready to go.."

"Ah.." she gulped "Yes..ma'am.." she walked up to the front turning to face the class.

" I actually wrote this poem last night, I had another but....it didn't seem..that is..I. ..I wasn't able to like really put my feelings to words. I was wrote a poem about a boy a love , but I was scared .....scared of what he would think. Scared that he might not like me back....." she looked up from the floor, her eyes on Kurt as she smiled "But he does, I know that now.." Kurt smiled back, feeling his cheeks go red. "He always has.............it just took me awhile to realize it.."

The class listened attentively as Kitty began her poem.

Oh Kurt I've loved you for so long

I never dreamed You'd put me in a song..

I'm Kitty, just as plain as plain can be...

I never hoped that you would notice me

Darling when I met you at the Mansion my pulse skipped a beat

My heart felt so heavy, like I had to much to eat

Last night you took me walking in the moonlight It was oh so sublime

I musta had too much molasses , cause your lips stuck to mine.

Oh Kurt, I'd even give up a whole month of my fashion maggie

Just to be know as Mrs. Kurt Waggie

Mr. Logan he don't like our moonlit nights

he say if he catches us we will surely die..

Look out I hear him coming through the hedges, there's nothing left to do.

Oh Kurt, You know I'd surely die for you.."

The class applauded, as Kitty, walked down the row and kissed Kurt.

"I love you Kurt..."

"Ja, I love you to Kitty..."he grinned.

"Enough mush to last a life time" Scott mused, before getting a swat on the head from Jean.

***********************************************

"So did you like it..?" Kitty smiled, later that evening as they sat out on her balcony.

"Ja, Kitty, I loved it, I love you" he smiled"Were you really scared that I wouldn't like you..?"

"Yes,.. But one way or another I was going to find out..."

"Really..?"

"Yes" Kitty nodded "My old poem was about you too...but it really wasn't how I wanted to say it...because I didn't know how to say it.....you helped me to fix that..." she leaned close letting her hair, fall down over her shoulders, as she kissed Kurt goodnight

"I'm glad you liked it..."she said as she stared inside.

" Ja .....but there vas one line..." Kurt said frowning

"Oh.." She turned to him. "Which one was that..?"

"Kurt Waggie..?" he gave her a goofy grin.

"Oh shut up !!" she laughed, throwing a pillow at his face.

They dashed back inside, both laughing as they relived the events of that day...

From far below the bushes stirred ever so gently, as a black mane popped out, followed by the rest of the body known as Logan. He gave a glare up at the balcony before continuing on his patrol, shaking his head as he went...

"Kurt Waggie..." he muttered with amusement.

End.
