Log: Kurt & Jubilee

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Jubilee and Kurt spend some time together in her apartment, and Jubilee issues a challenge.



There was still a movie playing on the TV, but the couple on the couch weren't paying attention to it. Kurt and Jubilee were half-lying, arms around each other and leaning on one armrest, absorbed in a kiss. Jubilee pulled back after a time to take a breath, her fingers curling around Kurt's jaw as she smiled, before turning and comfortably settling back against his chest.

"You're very good at that," she murmured, only vaguely watching the movie in front of them.

"Thank you", he said equally softly with a smile down at her, fingers stroking through her hair. "You are not so bad at it yourself."

"Mmm, I've had lots of practice," Jubilee replied, leaning in slightly as his fingers stroked through her hair. She'd always loved the feeling of someone playing with her hair. "I'll give you about a million years to stop doing that."

"I would not dream of stopping, in that case." True to his word, the gentle combing sensation continued. "Relaxing for both of us." The next was spoken quietly, directly into her ear. "And being with you makes this old acrobat very happy."

"Not so old," Jubilee noted, turning her head to catch his lips again as she drew her hand upwards along his jaw.

He smiled into her mouth, the hand in her hair sliding around to cup the back of her head as the other caressed her cheek. When he eventually - and a little reluctantly - pulled back for a breath, he laid a soft kiss on the sensitive spot behind her ear and nodded. "Not so old, at that. I think I can manage to keep up with you."

"Be careful, I might challenge you to a race across the rooftops of Manhattan," Jubilee warned with a teasing glint in her gaze. "One without powers use."

"Teleportation would be cheating in a race", he agreed cheerfully. "Though I might still have an unfair advantage, and one I cannot so easily turn off."

"See, I just figure the tail makes up for the fact I'm more familiar with the street layout," Jubilee noted, relaxing against them as they talked. She knew that she'd have to say goodnight soon, or she'd never get up for work in time. For the moment, it was nice to just lay here with him. "It's not as straight forward as it looks."

"The tail aids in balance", Kurt said with a nod. "Also, I can climb walls. I find it easier to get hand and foot holds than I think most people can. But it is true, you are more used to the routes."

"And thus, I figure out what our next date is going to be," Jubilee said with a challenging grin. If there was something she enjoyed more then movies, or just hanging out, it was being out in her city. "I can totally share all the good spots with you even."

He grinned back, a spark of enjoyment in his eyes at the banter. "That would be the point of a date, no? I shall defer to your knowledge and leave the choice of racetrack entirely in your hands."
