A demons dance
(Warning, cringe, long, me trying to write Kurt’s accent in text)
A mutant who can manipulate ice, so of course she was thrown into the ‘stupid little hero school’ as she calls it, she works at the Xavier school of gifted youngsters as a dance teacher. She’s mostly known as an ice queen
‘She doesn’t have a heart!’
So when the ice queen met Kurt for the first time everyone froze. Everyone knows rose isn’t scared of sharing her opinion, she’s blunt, she’s honest, she doesn’t sugar coat and she doesn’t care if her truth is hurtful, lies hurt more in her opinion.
Rose was making herself tea in the kitchen, it was breakfast time and most of the team were half asleep around the kitchen, Jean and remy arguing about ‘proper spice to pancake ratios’ (rose doesn’t comment), jubilee is showing kitty a new tik tok trend, Ororo and Scott are ushering students to get their breakfast when Kurt bamfs in with a smile next to Logan
“Hallo mein Freund” Kurt greets, getting a grunt out of Logan in return, looks like he’s in a good mood today, “ah, iz zat ze new teacher?” Kurt questions noticing rose by the kitchen window
Rose was by the window, the morning sun reflecting her features beautifully, her hair back in a neat bun, posture perfect, she truly looks like an angel
“Careful elf, she’s got a bite” Logan grunts
Unfortunately curiosity killed the cat, and well, Kurt does have cat like reflexes, so he walks over, he doesn’t want to startle her yet
“Hallo! I believe ve have not met, I am ze amazing Nightcrawler,” he chuckles “but Kurt works better”
It’s like the entire room freezes as rose looks Kurt up and down, ignoring his outstretched hand, everyone is holding their breath. It’s quite well known Kurt isn’t exactly the average looking guy, he’s rather..demonic for a catholic.
Rose finally meets his eyes “silk blue velvet hm..with sunny yellow eyes..” she mumbles “hm. Decent curls, above average jaw, lean build. Hm.” She mumbles, Kurt is beyond confused silk blue? Sunny yellow? His jaw? His build?
“Ah, sorry?” He chuckles awkwardly
“Hm. You are acceptable.” She deems as she shakes his hand “rose.” She says simply before walking away. As soon as she’s gone jubilee basically leaps up “OH MY GOD KURT- SHE WANTS YOU!” Jubilee declares loudly
“Vhat?! She deemed me ‘acceptable’! Vhat does that even mean?!” Kurt raises his hands in confusion
“Okay so like, rose is like SUPER picky, Logan tried to grab her shoulder and she almost froze him for even dare to try and touch her!” Kitty explains
“So basically her calling you acceptable? She’s basically just said ‘oh kurt! I want your babies!’” Jubilee says in a dramatic Russian accent, making kitty snort
Kurt blinks a few times and looks to the others for some sort of real explanation, but they mostly nod
“She even shook your hand, willingly, she perhaps admires you?” Ororo smiles
“Or she gon come for yer soul!” Remy snorts
Kurt just shakes his head in exhaustion as he heads to his first lesson of the day but the words kept repeating in his head while he tried to teach, so he decided to ask his students, the teens said she was a vicious vain bully! Some said her hearts made of ice, some said she sold her soul for beauty.
Kurt sighs as he looks at his last class of the day, it’s the kid class, he looks around at the 8 and 7 year olds and asks the question he already dreads
“Vhat do you think of professor Solovyova?” He asks expecting the worst
“Miss rose is the nicest! She gave me warm milk and let me sit on her lap when I couldn’t sleep!” A little girl piped up happily
“Miss Rosie bought me some new art supplies when she found out I lost mine..” a little boy mumbled
“She lets me dance on her feet!”
“She called me super pretty!”
Kurt listened as his entire class sang roses praises, now he was curious, all the teens and adults complained about her, but the children adored her, so he did more digging, and what he found could break roses reputation in half, she..was a massive softie, but for specific people only.
She adored kids, and she was gentle with some students that Kurt suspects she sees a bit of herself in.
Rose wasn’t a monster, she was just didn’t trust easily, she had walls as high as everyone else, she strived to be perfect. But at what cost?
He didn’t really speak to her one on one again until Sunday, he was holding mass..unfortunately it’s a school where most students prefer sleeping in rather than praying, the chapel was usually fairly empty, a few devoted people, Kurt was preparing for his usual routine when he notices someone new in one of the front rows, next to the heater in the sun, Rose, her eyes were close as she basked in the sunlight, when she felt his eyes on her she looked over, and Kurt swears, just for a moment, he saw a smile.
She came every week, in the same pew, same beam of sunshine, so Kurt returned the favour, he watched her dance, she was graceful, like she was floating on air
“Do you watch everyone?” She questions him one night
“Only ze ones zhat deem me acceptable” he smiles back, and Kurt swears, her icy heart melted a tad
