Dorm Room 229 - Tuesday Afternoon

[furrybluefreak]

Kurt was still trying to adjust to being back, both from jet lag and just trying to get back to his normal routine. After his one class that morning, he opted to stick around the dorms for most of the day.

At that moment, he was sitting in his hammock, laptop perched on his knees, as he worked on sending off more photos from the trip. Between his folks and his team back home, there were a lot of requests for photos! But it was fun looking through them all and remembering all the great times. So Kurt wasn't really complaining!


(Dorm room is open! Expecting one but anyone can stop by!)

Kurt sat for a moment, listening to everything Libby said and thinking for a bit before speaking.

"It's not the same as what you are going through, and I won't pretend to know what that is like, but it was similar for me when I decided to come here to the States. When Professor Xavier found me, and invited me to come to the school with the other mutants, my folks weren't sure about it at first."

Kurt gave a small somewhat sad smile thinking about it.

"I understand how hard it was for them. They had spent my entire life trying to protect me and when they felt like they couldn't, that was hard for them. And they were worried, and still are a little I think, about what will happen. But... this is something I want. Something I feel I need to do."

Kurt gave Libby a small knowing grin as he ducked his head slightly, finally saying out loud the thing he had been holding inside for a while now out of fear and uncertainty in his own abilities. "I don't want to just hide anymore. I want to help others and make a difference... if I can. And I think, that is all you are wanting to do now too."

"And you shouldn't have to hide," said Libby, even though she knew that wasn't the biggest take-away from what Kurt was saying, but she felt that was an important point to reiterate to him whenever she could, and she gave him another smile. "I think we both could do some really great things, Kurt. I mean....just look at all the great things we've manage to do in just this past year! And that's only just the start!"

Kurt smiled and nodded. It WAS good to hear it, after so long hearing and experiencing the exact opposite. It was nice to be accepted and to have friends that weren't your parents. To be able to go to school and be around others without worrying about hiding or fitting in. It was nice to have friends, like Libby especially, and Kurt felt his face heat up slightly thinking about it.

"Aye!" he said with a grin as he finally managed to look up at her again. "Only the beginning! And I can't wait to see what we accomplish next!"
