Mina starts giggling the minute he calls her Moon Moon. It was a nickname she loved dearly, especially after Kurt took her to the woods for nearly a week when Mommy had to go on an important trip. Her Daddy wasn’t so happy when he’d found her covered in dirt and eating mostly raw deer meat. But then again, her Daddy didn’t like Kurt all that much either. 

She catches the pen out of the air and hurriedly scribbles her name on the portrait as if someone was already waiting to snatch it. With a satisfied harumph, she caps the pen and tosses it back to him. “Smores now?” The excitement in her eyes was infectious. She would live in a marshmallow house if she could. And sleep on a cozy marshmallow bed. The thought has her giggling again, except this time he has no idea why she’s in stitches.

Kurt catches the pen and sets it back down, “Come on moon moon we gots us a fire to start” and motions her to following him to the fireplace. Her laughter was like a beautiful song that warmed his heart, he couldn’t imagine a better feeling that making that tiny little angle happy.

Quickly grabbing a pile of logs from the stack that was close to the fireplace, he places them neatly in a stack so they start up quick. “Now moon moon we almost forgot the most important part, the smores ingredients! Go grab them while i set this up.” He says with a smirk. Once she returns he says, “Okay now its time for some fireworks, I seem to be all out of matches, could you lend this fire a light?”.

Riley growls in mild annoyance at his suggestion. “Those shit bags,” she mutters as she lets him have his fun. When he’s gone on for a moment too long she gives him a sharp nip to the tip of his nose. “Cut that shit out and get me some breakfast.”

A lazy stretch has her toes peeking out from the blanket and she squeaks at the chill in the air. “And more blankets. Breakfast and blankets.” She gives him a nudge on his neck with her nose, hoping a sudden sweetness will make him move faster. Mostly, he moved like sludge in a pool of more sludge. “Lots of meat, okay? I’m full of ravenous carnivores.”

He responds with a loud exasperated sigh and shot out of bed. As he runs into the kitchen to make her requested breakfast he returns with more heavy blankets to help her balance out the lack of his heat in bed.

As he leaves and returns back towards the kitchen he jokingly yells over his shoulder, “I’m gonna make some bacon, sausage, potatoes, and eggs, do you want your eggs scrambled.... or fertilized” he says with a sheepish grin. He could feel the power of the fatherly puns flowing through him now and he hoped she was ready for the torrent of terrible jokes headed her way.

Michael hears movement behind him, a soft shuffle of bare feet. It would seem that Kurt had found his way out of his room. Finally. It had been more than a bit dim in this lab since Lisbeth had been sent to the UK. Michael wasn’t fairing any better than Kurt in her absence.

He wondered if he should hide the envelope in his hands or if it would help Kurt cope if he showed it to him. Lisbeth hadn’t written to the werewolf, and if she had she’s sure Patrick has already intercepted it. Tapping his palm with the letter, he makes a quick decision before Kurt spies it and makes it for him. “Lisbeth wrote me,” he says absently, holding the letter over his shoulder. “Would you like to see what she’s been up to?”

Kurts heart radiated with excitement hoping maybe the letter mentioned him in someway. He takes the letter trying to contain his excitement, trying to not seem to so eager but fails terribly.

“Wow it sounds like she’s having a ok time so far..” he says trailing off, the letter did not mention him at all. The warm feeling quickly receded as his disappointment sunk in it’s place. He wondered if he would ever be able to contact her or see her again.

A wide smile spreads over her face, magic buzzing excitedly beneath her fingertips. Her mom didn’t really like her using her fire magic. Especially not inside the house where things burned up so easily.

“Yeah, yeah okay!” she bounces in her seat before standing up to rush to the kitchen. She intended to put up the picture now, if Mom didn’t like it then she could take it down. Climbing up onto the counter, she digs in the cabinet beside the fridge for the tape to hang it up. “Kurt!” she calls when she can’t find it. “Kurt I need the tape!!”

“Moon Moon you silly goose it’s in the top cabinet” he rushing into the kitchen and swiftly picks her up and plops her on his shoulders so she could reach the tape herself.

She’s in a giggling fit from being pick up so he’s extra careful to stabilize her so she doesn’t go tumbling to the ground. Once he’s set her down he watches with a smile on his face as she waddles to the fridge to tape her masterpiece up. He tosses her a pen from the counter and says, “Hey little picasso don’t forget to sign the bottom, that could be worth something someday”.

Until she’d met Kurt, Riley had never felt this way. Sure she had Alois and Rex but she’d never felt this unbelievably loved. Taking gasps of air as she tried to catch her breath, Riley squirmed beneath him. “Stop it!” she yells as loud as she can, but they both know she doesn’t want him to.

If someone had told her that she’d be shacked up some day, barefoot and pupped, then she would have decked them. This wasn’t the life she’d imagined, but it was the life she’d deserved. Grabbing him by the ears, she pulls him up until their lips meet. It’s a series of short and sweet kisses, each messier than the last. When she lets him go, she’s beaming. “How many do you think?”

“Well I always say the more the merrier” he says with a giant blissful grin on his face. He was glowing in the happiness of her and his child or children to be. He never wanted this amazing moment in his life to end.

“I’m thinking we can name them Rex and Aloise what do you think” he says with a sarcastic smile. After a moments hesitation he continues the torrent of kisses all over her neck, sneaking in a couple of not too hard bites in between. She smelled amazing and he couldn’t help himself.

Their cabin isn’t much, but it is smack in the middle of the woods and it was hard to reach by foot. Human feet, anyway. Perfect for the both of them, neither of which liked having visitors. 

The sun is just starting to rise, peeking through the dark in shades of pink and orange. There’s a cool mist filling their bedroom from the window above their headboard. Riley watches it hover above them, relishing the way his warm breath puffs at her bare shoulder. Closing her eyes slowly, she turns her face to nuzzle into his hair until he wakes.

“I’m pregnant.” The way she says it, it’s clear there’s a sweet and slow smile on her lips. 

[experxmentd-blog]

“Was that so hard to say?” Kurt says with a joyful smile. He had smelled that was pregnant for about a week now and was waiting until she told him herself, cause he was excited to hear it from her.

Ever since Kurt helped raise Mina he always wanted his own children, and after finally sealing the deal with Riley it didn’t take long to complete his dream. He was extremely excited and instantly jumped on top of Riley and started kissing her all over, ultimately kissing her on her belly a million times till she was in a laughing fit.

Lisbeth looks at him for a long moment. Kurt was sweet to her. He was kind to her. To everyone else, he was kinda mean. Being out in public with him was sometimes scary. Taking a deep breath, she moves to stand in front of him and takes both of his hands in hers.

“Promise me you won’t get into trouble,” she says as sternly as possible. It comes out like a high whisper, breathless like she had to force it out. Which she kinda did. “People here are going to look at you differently, and I know you’re used to that, but… The students like to hang out in the park and it will probably be worse than the cafeteria.” She’s rambling, cheeks a bubblegum pink. Huffing, she lets go of his hands and heads for the door. “Come.”

Kurt gives her a reassuring look, she was so serious but all he could do was chuckle at the notion of him getting in trouble. He was sent to keep her out of trouble, and he found the irony of the situation hilarious, but tried his best to not let it show on his face.

“If it makes you feel better we can just go back to your place, that way I don’t draw attention with you on campus’ this caused him to unknowingly raise his eyebrow at her. He then proceeds to follow her out the door, and as soon as the fresh air hit him, his senses felt much better after being so close to all those chemicals.

Lisbeth decides not to hold it against him. It’s not his fault he is all thumbs. She’s pretty sure her dad messed up some of his wiring. Rolling her eyes at his choice of words, she picks up the glowing tubes to place them into a mini fridge behind her desk. “They had me working on a new weapon, of sorts.”

Theoretically anyway. They’d needed her to discover how to kill the witches indefinitely. More than just trapping them inside objects. Sighing, she sits back down and recalls the moment her door was kicked in just a few days ago. They’d stolen all of it, all of her research. Blushing, she shrugs and looks down at her hands.

[experxmentd-blog]

For a moment Kurt thinks about how this could help kill the witch that destroyed his chance at a normal life with his family. To avoid being somber around Lisbeth he quickly cracks a big old grin and says "So glow sticks are the answer then! Come to think of it I have never seen a witch at a rave, it all makes sense!." He's trying to cheer her up sensing her discomfort towards something.

Kurt then trys to think of what they should do next, he hates seeing her feel like this and wants to help take her mind off whatever she's sad about. Still cracking a smile and awaiting a response to his stupid joke he quickly adds on, "Hey it's kinda smelly in here with all the chemicals on the ground, wanna go to a park or something? We could use some fresh air before our nose hairs burn out." hoping she says yes.

[atomicflaw]

She’s so lost in thought she doesn’t notice him slipping towards her work. The shattering of glass brings her to the present, and she jumps in her seat. “Oh Kurt…” she whines, pushing back her chair so she can rush to where he’s standing. “No, no, no.”

“This is why you’re not supposed to touch things,” she says frustrated, pushing her hair away from her face. Standing back up, she heads into the closet a couple feet away. Finding the broom she comes back out and shoves it into his hands. “Keep your hands in your pockets after this.”

[experxmentd-blog]

Kurt takes the broom and starts cleaning up his mess, Lisbeth is unable to see his cheeck redden from embarrassment. He always found some way to be a klutz around her, it had been this way since the first day they met, when walking away from meeting Lisbeth the first time, he tripped looking back at her instead of watching where he was walking. Funny how it still happened even now, he wondered if she remembered his clumsiness.

"So what have you been working on in these labs recently? any amazing break throughs? I see you have glowstick engineering down" he said with a grin, motioning over to the viles on the table beside him. He was fascinated with the stuff she was studying and couldn't even imagine how much time and studying it would take, he couldn't stand staying inside that long so school was always out of the question for him, getting all his edjucation from Michael and Lisbeth.

[radiantarrow]

He was naive to think she wouldn’t find someone else, but it’s not like this wasn’t his own fault. Leo was a book filled with failed romances and now he had to see one move on without him. After knocking on the door to her apartment, he waited dreading the possibility of someone other than his daughter answering it.

Unlucky, he squared his shoulders and stood as tall as he could before the door opened. “Hey, I’m here to pick up Mina.” 

[experxmentd-blog]

Just finishing a couple hours of playing games, Kurt puts Mina to sleep and heads downstairs to reheat the morning coffee and finish his news paper. He's on the last page when he senses someone approaching the front door. He wasn't expecting anyone by, at least Lisbeth hadn't mentioned any visitors. Still wearing his costume from playing secrect agents with Mina he stands up and walks over to the peek hole, waiting for said person to knock.

He could smell him before he even looked through the peep hole, it was Mina's biological father Leo. He opens the door and says, "Sup brah? Lisbeth didn't say you were coming by today, and I just put Mina down for her nap".

[atomicflaw]

On the outside looking in, it might appear that Kurt was being cruel. Lisbeth knew this wasn’t the case, it was just how they spoke to one another. She laughs, nose scrunching. “No they haven’t. I haven’t made many friends here,” she says nonchalantly. It didn’t hurt her feelings, but she was pretty lonely. It didn’t help that everyone here pretty much knew each other from birth, as did their parents, and so on.

Heading into the east wing, she leads him to the group of labs designated for the occult scientists like her. The hallway is brightly lit, like a hospital and the tiles are a stale grey. Still, she stands out. This was her element, her confidence obviously soaring here.

“If you’re nice, I’ll let you play with some of my toys.” Opening the room to her lab, she lets go of his finger to make a grand sweeping gesture with her arm and welcome him in. The light is lower in here, most of the overheard lights turned off. Lisbeth didn’t do good with bright when she was working. It was overstimulating. Closing the door behind them, she brushes past him to sit at her lab table.

[experxmentd-blog]

"Don't worry Lisbeth I'm here now, and I'll always be your friend when you need me" Kurt said with a cheeky grin. He hated the thought of her being lonely, she may not like other people that much but he knew she needed conversation every once in while, at least someone who could listen to her exciting research.

Looking around the dimly lit room, he becomes transfixed on three glowing viles that cut the darkness like a knife. He glances at Lisbeth and then rushes over to them, hurrying because he knows she'll yet at him not to touch anything, which isn't any fun at all. He goes to touch one of the viles and knocks over a test tube that was teetering on the edge of the table, he didn't notice it in the dark. It falls to the floor and shatters, he turns to Lisbeth and start profusely apologizing, "Shit, fuck, I'm sorry, I didn't see it there, Sorry, grab me a broom I'll sweep it up".

[wickxng]

Even though Mina was sad that Daddy didn’t live with them anymore, she liked that Kurt was coming around more often. No one could replace her father, but the werewolf made having her dad not around a little easier. Like fire through her nose, she chortles at his comment about her smell. She knew he didn’t mean it, he liked her too much. “You’re dumb,” she says in a matter of fact manner, glad her mother isn’t here to chastise her for that kind of language.

Setting down her pencil, she sighs and contemplates the whole smores thing. On one hand, she’d like to eat more sweets than she was allowed but on the other hand she knew her mom would find out somehow. Still… she never stayed mad for long. A slow smile takes over Mina’s lips and she decides his portrait is finished. “Okay, but first, do you like it?” She holds it up, peeking over the top to see his reaction. It isn’t his human face at all, but the wolf inside. She’d seen it only a handful of times so there’s some mistakes, but otherwise it’s a stunning picture for someone of her age.

[experxmentd-blog]

Awesome he thought, he was really craving some chocolate mashmellowy goodness. “Wow Mina, that looks great, maybe we can put it on the fridge if mommy doesn't mind” the picture was detailed for something a 7 year old drew, a spitting image of his wolf form.Worried about getting caught by Lisbeth for giving Mina too many sweets, again, he sat for a moment and contemplated how to be sneaky about it. "Hey Mina, if you don't Mommy about the smores, I'll let you light the fire with your powers" he said in a joking, but half serious manner. He knew she wouldn't tell like she often didn't cause that meant less sweets for her, and god did that kid love her sweets.

He flipped the page of his paper as he waited for Mina's response, he loved conversing with her. Even if Mina didn't feel the same way, Kurt loved her like a parent, even if he wasn't her real father. He wish he was around earlier in her life, but was content being apart of it now, it made it feel good to be in a family setting like this, as if answering to some deep yearning in the back of his mind.

[atomicflaw]

Lisbeth chooses to stand by the door in wait, awkwardly shuffling. Some hunters were still stealing glances at the werewolf, and it made her nervous. When Kurt turns to look at her again, she senses it and flashes him a wide smile. She didn’t want him catching her nervous scent.

Most people didn’t understand Kurt. In fact, there were only three people that did. It’s not like he had much chance to connect with anyone else. Between herself, her dad, and Aunt Francine they were able to keep his childhood from being too lonely. It’s not like she was doing him a kindness, she’d needed him as much as he’d needed her. Being different and being a Derringer didn’t quite go well together. Her social ineptitude didn’t go unnoticed by her peers, and no amount of genius could deflect that.

Warmly, she accepts his gesture and wraps her finger around his. Gives it a little tug as well, staring at their linked digits. It was hard to remind herself why they’d been separated in the first place, and how carefully she’d have to tread. It felt like just yesterday Uncle Patrick had ripped him from her, his angry red face still clear in her mind. She clears her throat and pulls him in the direction of her lab. “You’ll like it here I think.”

[experxmentd-blog]

As they walked out the door the smells of the Hopkins estate hits his nose once again, the biggest smell being all the angst of the students in the air. Sometimes his nose was distracting but after so many years he found ways to suppress some smell from overwhelming him. Apart from the lingering ambiet smells from all the passersbys, Kurt's nose was being distracted by some flowery smelling perfume Lisbeth was wearing, he wasn't a fan, her natural scent was much more apealing to him, but he wasn't going to say anything about it, didn't want to upset her.

"So have they crowned you queen nerd yet? Cause I don't see your crown or septor on your person" he said sarcastically. He used to call her this grower up constantly due to her extreme intellect. Sarcasm and poking fun was the easiest way for him to communicate to Lisbeth, and she was always a good sport and never complained too much about him. He hoped she still would allow this type of talking, so he tested the waters with this comment, to see her reaction. Excitement and anticipation was also building in his mind, he new once they arrive at her lab she would catch him up on her "book learnins".

[atomicflaw]

Lisbeth picks apart her cookie, not because she doesn’t like it, but because she likes to eat her cookies in sections. Edges first. Center last. She munches, crumbs at the corner of her mouth. “Book learnings?” she giggles, trying to cover her mouth so none of her cookie falls out. She wasn’t exactly house broken either.

She smiles at him, all big and bright, with her lips pursed to keep her cookie in. After a swallow, she answers him, “I want to show you my lab. It’s so cool. Dad was right, they have the more advanced equipment here.” There’s a couple onions left on his plate, and absentmindedly she reaches over and pops them in her mouth. Quickly she chases it with cookie, liking the odd flavor combination but mostly enjoying the double crunch.

[experxmentd-blog]

God I forgot how cute she is when she eats he thinks to himself. He turns towards the register and says "Looky here missy, I'm gunna order 'nuther one uh them there sammichs for the road" he says keeping with his fake country slur. He grabs her food basket and stacks it in his to throw in the garbage on his way to the counter. He orders his food and pays, proceeding to tap a tune on the plastic couter wit his fingers. Thinking about it he has them throw in a bag of chips and a cookie too.

He senses Lisbeth moving and glances over to see her smiling at him waiting by the door, he could stare at that smile all day if given the chance. For a moment he thinks about their childhood together but is dragged out of his daydream by the sound of the food ready bell. He grabs his paper bag filled with his dinner for the night and meets Lisbeth at the door, putting his index finger out hoping they can hold hands again like before.

[wickxng]

Light filtered into the room by her short table, where she sat drawing on a piece of construction paper. Her hand is strangely steady for a seven year old, moving in calculated strokes even when she glances up at him. The room is drafty but she sits in a tanktop and shorts like it’s the middle of the summer. Sometimes when her colored pencil twists in her finger, a tiny spark ignites.

“Why do you sleep outside?”

[experxmentd-blog]

"Why you gotta ask me questions before my coffee?" he says looking up from the morning paper he's glancing over. Lisbeth had been over what to tell Mina when she asks this question, which she has multiple times. Kurt knew how intelligent she was for being just 7 years old and didn't want to say the wrong thing or give the wrong impression. After finishing the page he's reading, he takes a deep sip of his coffe and finally responds, "Cause I don't like smelly girls like you, makes my nose sting if I stay in the house too long".

A year had gone by with him being around Mina and Lisbeth consistently, and he was loving every moment of it. Today he was playing baby sitter as he did Monday through Friday, while Lisbeth was at work. Staring at Mina's drawing he was thinking of what fun activity to do today. Yesterday he took her hiking and she caught a butterfly in a jar, he tried to help her hide it in her room but they got caught by Lisbeth, and she yelled at Kurt for letting Mina bring bugs in the house. "How do you feel about collecting some firewood and making some smores today?", Lisbeth told him to not let Mina not have to many sweets, he snuck her plenty anyway.

[atomicflaw]

This was a nightmare. She forgot how bad this could get. She watches in horror as he approaches the employee, sucking in her breath and wiggling in her chair. “Oh no, no, no,” she whispers, hands on her face ready to hide.

There was no way she would be able to come back here without him now and she didn’t want him to stay here watching her for years to come. He’s all hunched shoulders and clenched fists and she knows that tilt of his head, and the face he’s probably wearing. Pretty soon she’ll hear the growling, and see his nails cutting through his own palms in anger. Wriggling more in her seat, she looks around for nearby exits. They were surrounded by hunters, if he wolfed out she would have to get him out of here quick and- She stares at the cookie he offers her and very slowly, huffs. “You… That wasn’t nice.” Her bottom lip pokes out as she takes the cookie.

[experxmentd-blog]

Kurt lets out a small chuckle, his plan worked perfectly, and he didn't cause a scene. He noticed the scent of anxiety lift off her, and he gave her a slight grin sitting back down. "So you gonna show me around this place some more? Tell me about all that fancy book learnings you've been doing?" he says in a fake country slur, he used to talk like that all the time to annoy Lisbeth. He did small things like that to take her mind off other things she might be worried or thinking about.

As he waits for her response he finishes his sandwhich in huge bites. He considered maybe getting another for dinner that night, they may have messed up Lisbeth's sandwhich but his was perfect. He wipes the crumbs off his shirt and mouth, he never was the cleanest of eaters, but he never cared about it. Toying with the idea of ordering one to go he stays at Lisbeth awaiting for her to finish her food so she can command him what she wants to do next.

[atomicflaw]

Lisbeth curses at herself for not being more sneaky. Then again, she’s sure he would have figured it out pretty quickly. Her face doesn’t hide much. She stutters, sliding the sandwich closer to herself. “Oh that’s alright. It’s good, Kurt. Really.”

If he went up there now, he was bound to cause a scene. She didn’t believe his smile for a second. It’d always been like this between them. Her father made it clear when he was raising Kurt; protecting Lisbeth was the utmost priority. When he was Beast, and when he was Kurt. Over Nessie, over Patrick, over anyone. He took it quite literally. “Onions will just make my breath smell anyway,” she begins to rant, tearing at the paper lining her plate. “And I am going to start student teaching a class soon, you see. And what if I have to talk to the students? Like up close, and personal and I gross them out on my first day?”

[experxmentd-blog]

Kurt knew what she was doing, changing the subject so fast, but it worked, to his dismay, and made him realize causing a scene would put a lot of eyes on him which he didn't need right now. Also not wanting to upset Lisbeth further, he decided to play a joke on her, she used to get so mad when he would yell at resturant workers for messing her food up, that she wouldnt go back to those places if he wasn't taking her. So to mess with her a little he stomped up to the counter and heard her do a small gasp, too cute, he thought. When the employee walked over he just stared at him for a minute, fists clenched, he knew Lisbeth couldn't see his face which was perfect for what he was about to do.

He quietly buys a white macadamia nut cookie, he knew this was he favorite, the crunchiest cookies place like that usually had. But he made his voice sound as if he was being aggressive, he could sense Libeth's dread, and was anticipating the look on her face. He quickly glances back at her with his signature shit faced grin. All very steathily he pays and slips the cookie in his back pocket as turning, so she doesn't see it. He approaches her, sporting a grumpy face, then before she says anything he pulls out the cookie and says "Macadamia still your fave?".
