Story
Summary: Amanda has broken up with Kurt and somehow he’s not as bothered by
this as he probably should have been. Toad on the other hand has always been a
rather lonely guy with little luck in life. The two are unexpectedly brought
together only to discover things about each other, not to mention themselves...
Chapter
Summary: This chapter is in Kurt’s point of view. Amanda brakes up with Kurt,
the fuzzy elf now confused about his feelings. Trying to work it out in his
head, he can’t bring himself to seek help from his friends. Looking for a
little solitude to think, he finds himself with unexpected company.
A/N: This
story is written in first person and will be flip flopped between characters. I
will make sure to be clear who is the focus at the
moment. Kurt is German, as many of you know, so I do try my hardest to
implement his accent into his speech as well as using actual German words and
phrases. Any of these will be followed by an * to indicate there is a
translation for it at the end of the chapter. Don’t worry,
all words will be translated even if they have already been mentioned before.
They will also be in the order that they first show up in the chapter.

This can’t be happening… It just can’t be… “Ja*… Ja*, I understand…” I murmur
softly. Mocha skin, straightened hair, dark chocolate eyes, long lashes, full
lips, a brilliant smile and a figure that most girls would envy… She has a
wonderful sense of humor, a very open mind, sweet, affectionate, independent
and endlessly supportive and understanding… She’s perfect. And she just broken up
with me.
“I’m sorry Kurt… I just don’t think I could cope with a
long distance relationship. Are you going to be alright…?” Came
the sweet voice through the receiver.
“Nein*… It’s alright. I’ll be fine. Gut* luck vith your new school. I’m sure you vill
do vonderfully.” I reply into the mouth piece of my
cell phone with a weak smile that she can’t see.
“Good… I promise I’ll call you when I get settled into my
dorm to let you know I’m okay… And I’ll visit as much as I can!” She promised
the sadness failing to be hidden in her happy tone.
“Ja*, I look forvard to it. Gut* luck again, Amanda… Auf Wiedersehen*.” And with that I quietly hang
up my cell… At least we are still friends, right? I slip my cell into my
pocket, staring off for a moment at nothing. What am I going to do…? She was so
wonderful to me and now she’s left me… She was gentle about it too so it did
soften the blow, but… What’s really bothering me is how little it
bothers me! She’s fantastic and she just broke up with me! I should be upset!
Angry even! Yet, I’m okay… Something’s wrong with this! Man… Maybe I really am
completely---
“Kurt…? What’s
wrong?”
My thoughts are
interrupted by a familiar voice behind me. Looking over my shoulder, there’s my
best friend in the whole world, looking very worried. “Kätzchen*…” I murmur
softly, failing to smile for her. I must look like Hell with as worried as she
looks. She quickly comes over, and without a word, hugs me. I cling to her
tightly and there we stay for several minutes. “Kätzchen*… Amanda broke up vith me… Her parents are sending her to school in London vhat’s more…” I admit, unable to stop the whimper as it
forces it’s way out of my
throat.
“Oh, Kurt… I’m
so sorry… Look if you, like, need anything, you can always come to me,
alright?” She coos softly, running her hand through my hair in an attempt to
sooth me. It does feel nice and I relax against her, but I don’t feel all that
much better. Still, that was to be expected, I suppose.
Before the end
of the night, everyone in the entire mansion knew and had given me their
condolences. Somehow, I only feel worse as more and more people talked to me. I
really don’t feel like going to school tomorrow, but it had already been made
clear that I was to attend. Glumly I crawl into bed, curling up into a ball
under my sheets and closing my eyes tightly. Sleep didn’t come easily, ‘3:07am’
being the last thing I blearily see upon my alarm clock before finally drifting
off.
7:00am and I
jerk awake, moaning as I turn off the alarm wailing at me and slowly start to crawl out of
bed. I feel like I could just die… I don’t feel any better than I did yesterday
and I really didn’t want to go to school… No choice it seems though… With a
sigh, I get out of bed and change into my clothes, brushing my hair before
strapping on my image inducer. I don’t flick it on just yet, leaving my room so
I could go brush my teeth. On the way I got more, ‘I’m sorry’s
and ‘Tough break man’s, things I really didn’t want to
hear… Amanda is still my friend and I’m happy with just that! In fact, I’m
totally cool with the idea of just being friends and that fact is what is
really tearing into me. I shouldn’t be so comfortable about the idea, I should be much more upset than I am! Why am I so
cool with this break up…? I come down to breakfast then, but I really don’t
feel much like eating… A couple of strips of bacon, a glass of orange juice and
a waffle and I’m done; something that pulls even more
attention my way. Normally I am a voracious eater and the fact that I’d only
eaten that got some worried looks turned towards me. Still, they don’t comment
on it for now, but I could tell the subject was going to come back up if I kept
this up for too long. Soon enough I’m flicking on my holo
and sitting quietly in the car being driven to school. It wasn’t uncommon for
me to simply walk, but I really didn’t feel like it today, simply too
distracted in my own thoughts.
Once I get to
school, things are so unfocused… It was like I wasn’t really there, even though
my body was. Amanda doesn’t seem to be here, likely at home packing for her
flight to London. I miss her already… How am I going to survive having her so
far away? Outside of everyone else at the Mansion, I have very few friends and
the thought of losing her of all people is very painful. She’s one of my best
friends after all! Maybe if I save up enough money I can pay her a short visit
while I’m visiting my family in Germany! Would she still be there during that
time? I’ll have to ask her for her schedule once she gets it.
I drift through
my classes and get more worried looks from my teachers. I’m not top of my class
or anything, but my grades are pretty good. I don’t think they like how
completely out of it and distracted I am. I did my work in every class, but… I
don’t know how well I did… I really should have been paying more attention to
what I was doing, but it was so hard! I just couldn’t concentrate on school
work when I have so many things on my mind.
Lunch time finally
came around and I really don’t feel like eating, too much turmoil starting to upset
my stomach. This is a good chance to get some peace and quiet. I leave my
class, make a pit stop at my locker to switch out some of my books then head
out for the football field. I know my friends will wonder where I am at the
lunch table, but I really need some alone time to gather my thoughts and really
think on things. I slip under the bleachers and settle myself down in a shady spot,
back leaned against a rail and pack at my side. I sigh softly as I quietly try
to gather my thoughts, now that I have nothing to distract me. Amanda is
perfect… She really is! Why is it that what I am sad about is the fact that she’ll
be so far that we won’t be able to hang out all the time? Why is everyone
mourning the loss of the relationship more than I am? I’m happy that she at
least said that she still wanted to be friends and that she would visit as
often as she could. What’s sad is how little that will be, not the fact that we
aren’t dating anymore! Is something wrong with me…? Is it wrong to think that
this is for the better? My thoughts are interrupted by a sudden scraping
against the metal bleachers.
Between two of
the bleachers came a set of light blue chucks followed a pair of legs clad in ripped
denim, a brown shirt and---Oh for the love of God it was Toad. This is quiet possibly the last person on the planet I want to see
right now… Toad blinks his large yellow eyes at me, looking rather startled to
see me. An unlit cigarette hangs loosely from his lips, stating his reason for
being here plainly without a word. There’s a short moment of shock before wide
lips parted further to speak with a smirk. “What you doin’
out ‘ere, fuzz butt… Shouldn’t you be sittin’ wit’ th’ othah X-Geeks?” Came his sneering voice even as he pulled out a lighter. Why
couldn’t I have just been left in peace…?
“I don’t see how
it’s any of your business, but… I am not really in zee mood for company…” I
grumble, looking away from him. I’m not about to tell him what is bothering me,
it’s a private matter! I haven’t
even talked to Kitty about this! Well… Not what’s really bothering me
anyway…
The dirty blonde
teen before me paused, the flame of his lighter falling just short of the end
of his cigarette. Something was off and Toad seemed to have caught on. Scheiße*. The lighter is moved away for
the moment, the Toad tilted his head to the side slightly, narrowing his eyes
suspiciously at me. “What’s got yo’ tail tied in a
knot, yo?” He asked before adding, “Ol’ One-Eye ain’t puttin’ out no more?” He added purposely trying to rub my
fur the wrong way, so to speak. Normally a comment like that would have gotten
a rise out of me, but somehow I didn’t have the energy to get mad today.
“Amanda broke up
vith me…” One of the reasons for my torment leapt
from my throat before I’d even thought about it, eyes widening as I realized
what I’d done. I look away quickly, biting my lower lip. Ugh… Of all things to admit to my worst enemy… Now Toad was going
to rub it in my face for sure. It seemed there was little the Slime-Ball
enjoyed more than making me feel miserable. What
happened next was totally unexpected.
“She did? Wow…
That sucks man.” He murmurs, no insult, no harsh words
or prodding at a freshly open wound. Instead, the dirty blond teen pointedly
moved himself down wind before finally lighting up. Wait… Is he actually being
thoughtful enough not to make my fur smell like cigarettes? “She give you a good reason?”
I stare for a
moment before quietly speaking again, “Vell… Her
parents are sending her to a private school in London. She didn’t feel
comfortable vith such a long distance relationship. I
have to agree, I vouldn’t do vell eizher…
Ve are still friends though and she promises to visit
vhen she can.” I answer honestly, looking out at the
empty field as I speak. Why am I telling him this? Toad isn’t exactly the guy
you go to when you need to vent about your problems. What’s more, he and I are
usually at each other’s necks! This is so weird… Still… It is kinda nice…
“Yeah, that’s
rough… At least you’re still friends though, coulda
worked out worse, yo. Personally, I got no such
luck…” Mutters the Toad, sighing out a puff of smoke.
“Wanda’s not interested in me at all, doesn’t matter what I do, yo…” He looks like he is in a lot of pain just saying that…
It’s hard not to feel sorry for the guy… He really did try so hard, yet nothing
ever seemed to come of it. Poor guy…
“Mmm… I know vhat you mean… I vanted to date Kitty vhen I first
saw her. Didn’t vork out at all… For zee better I
suppose. You should consider searching elsevhere. I
mean, Vanda is very pretty, but… She treats you very badly…” I reason gently,
knowing what it’s like to have pursued someone who took no interest. Well…
Technically it wasn’t the same thing as I was just… No, I shouldn’t be thinking
about that now. Hm… It’s kinda
weird that we’re having such a ‘normal’ conversation with each other when
generally we did nothing but fight.
“Yeah I know,
but… She’s th’ only girl that’s evah given me th’ time ah day, ya know? And she’s
so hot…” Murmurs the shorter teen dreamily, smiling softly as he takes another
drag of his cigarette.
“I’m sure she’s
not zee only girl in zee vorld zhat
vould do zhat. You should
find a girl zhat vill treat
you vell und* vould like
you for who you are.” Yeah… That wasn’t a
stereotypical answer… Geez, Kurt you could have tried a little harder than
that…
“Heh. I’d take anybody at this point, yo. Ain’t nobody that would want my
ass though. I mean, Freddy isn’t interested and I’m not really either, Lance is
with Kitty and Pietro wouldn’t date anyone that isn’t
a fuckin’ supermodel and has a female pref. like
Lance does anyway, so yeah… I’m pretty sure Boom-Boom was out to kill me either
directly with her bomb things or indirectly by making me implode from sexual frustration, Rogue wouldn’t look at me if she could help it
and would avoid me utterly when she could… Ah don’t got
much in dah way of choices, yo.”
Toad spoke with apparent annoyance, staring off at nothing as he puffed away at
his cigarette to see if he could think of anyone else. “Oh… Right.
And ya Muthah is terrifyin’. Seriously, she
scares the shit outta me, yo.”
I listen in mild
shock, eyes widening as I take it all in. Toad is bisexual? My thought was
quickly derailed as the last comment is added. I shudder almost violently at
the thought. “I vould really razer not think about my Mozher like zhat, danke*…” Shaking my head to
clear my mind of an image I really didn’t want floating around my head, I get
back on track. “But… You, um… Like… Guys…?”
“Yeah!” He laughs as if it was obvious, finally looking back at me. “I’ve
known sense I was thirteen, yo. All th’ better I guess, betters my odds of not dyin’ alone, ya know? What about
you?” The question held no malice, only curiosity, but the discomfort that the
words brought about was nothing to shake a stick at. I should have seen this
turned around on me, why oh why didn’t I see this coming?!
“O-of course not! Vhy vould
I?!” Did I sound too panicked? Did I answer too quickly? I stuttered
didn’t I? The smirk slowly spreading upon the Toad’s wide lips made it clear
that indeed I had.
“No kiddin’? Straight as an arrow? Why
don’ I believe ya?” He murmurs, slowly coming in
closer. I start to panic as the other grew closer not only physically, but to
my most well kept secret. I don’t even like to think about it to myself, let
alone have anyone even suspect!
“J-Ja*…
Straight…” I assure weakly, my panic slowly starting to grow, my chest
tightening in fear. This is NOT where I want this conversation to go!
“Yeah… Right.” The Toad seems sure of himself, settling down to sit
right next to me, flicking the cigarette away. “So! Ya evah ‘ad
a crush on a guy?”
“Nein*!” I yelp, looking positively mortified. I can’t let him find out!
B-but how do I divert his attention! Maybe he’ll drop the subject? That was far
more than I dare to hope for at this moment…
“Who was it?”
Pushed the Toad, leaning in closer than I am comfortable with. I can just feel
his breath brushing along my face… It was warm and smelt of the cigarette he’d
just been smoking and something a little more foul.
Toad needed to brush his teeth more often apparently…
“I-I…” I stutter,
feeling my cheeks growing hot, my holo
starting to blush horribly for me no doubt. That’s what sucked about this
thing… When I blush no one can see because of my thick fur, but my holo is kind enough to blush visibly for me every time.
“Well…?” Toad is
leaning in close enough that his crooked nose is nearly brushing mine. I could
even feel the heat coming off his body… If I don’t answer, I don’t know what
he’s going to do! As much as I don’t want to, I’d better give him what he
wants…
With a defeated
sigh, the answer came, “Scott…”
Todd blinked, apparently
not having expected to get an answer. “Fuck, does everyone have a crush on that guy? I guess I can see what you see
in ‘im, but shit, yo… You
can do better than that.”
I stare for
another moment, surprised by the reaction I’d gotten. Seems Toad was surprising
me left and right today. “’You can do better’? Zhat’s
all you have to say?”
“Yeah, why? I mean, I’m bi too, I can’t really make
fun of you for it, yo. Well, I guess I could, but I’d be makin’ fun of myself
too, so that would be kinda stupid, ya know?” He shrugs his thin shoulders, settling
back away from me again. Everything’s happening way too fast… What’s more,
something possesses me at that moment and I speak out before I can still my
tongue.
“I’m not bi…” I
mutter, ears drooping and falsely blue eyes casting themselves down to the
ground. I can’t believe I’m admitting this to Toad of all people… I must have
gone insane or something… That had to be it, I’ve simply gone bonkers.
“Dude, you’re
not a very convincing straight guy if you had a crush on th’ Boy Scout…” Large yellow eyes rolled as he spoke.
Apparently he didn’t understand what I was hinting at, forcing me to explain
myself when I really don’t want to say it.
“You don’t
understand… I’m… Vell...” I can’t seem to bring
myself to say it, legs coming up to my chest so I can hug them. “I’m n-not
straight eizher…” I force out, unable to give a more
direct answer than that.
“Th’ Hell you talkin’ ab…” And that’s when it seems to have snapped into place
within Todd’s mind. “You’re gay…” He utters softly, shock clear on his voice. I
hide my face then and refuse to answer, eyes squeezing shut. How could I have admitted
such a thing to Toad of all people! If only I had a rock to hide under right
now… I could just die there and no one would ever have to know… God, I’m going
to kill myself if Toad spreads the news around the entire school… I’ll kill him
for it first though. I hesitate for a moment longer before I peek out, just in
time to see a smile pulling at his lips as he chuckled softly. He pushs himself up into a crouching
position, leaning forward suddenly. I tense as warm lips press to the
top of my head before webbed hand ruffles my hair. “I’m sure you’ll find a
great boyfriend someday.” With that, he stand and
starts to walk away with a lazy wave. “See ya later,
Fuzzy.” And off he went, heading back to the school grounds in inhuman leaps.
I sit there for several
minutes, staring after the other teen even after he is out of sight. What just
happened?! I shake my head and take a quick glance at my watch. I should
probably get back to my friends, so they don’t start worrying about me. I pick
up my backpack and stand, starting to walk back to where I am sure my friends
will be sitting. What I can’t understand is why I feel so much better than I did
only a few minutes ago. I smile softly as I walk,
reaching up to smooth my hand through my hair to settle from it from it’s earlier ruffling. Somehow, things seem to be looking
up…
