Chapter Text
Kurt stroked Wanda’s hair as she cuddled next to him. “You’ve been in an exceptionally good mood lately.”
Wanda smiled, looking up at his face from where she rested on his soft yet firm chest. “I suppose I have. You know, I caught myself thinking how happy I am. It’s so new, and I love it.” Reaching up, she kissed his chin. “And I love you.”
“I love you, too.” He kissed her forehead.
“I think the therapy is working,” Wanda mused.
“Really?”
“Mmhmm,” she nodded, tracing patterns into his fur. “I’m having fewer nightmares, and I just feel better, overall.”
“Fewer nightmares. Maybe I should try therapy.”
She looked up at him again. “You should. I’m sure my therapist would see you. She’s very mutant-friendly.”
Kurt grimaced, realizing he’d backed himself into a corner here. He hadn’t actually meant he wanted to try therapy. “No, thank you. I’m quite all right.”
Wanda propped herself up on her elbow so she could meet his eyes. “Why not?”
Kurt wished he hadn’t said anything. “I just don’t think I need it.”
“I think it would be good for you,” Wanda encouraged, pausing a moment before continuing. “I’ve heard your nightmares.” She would guess that there was more going on than just nightmares, but she knew Kurt well enough to know that he wouldn’t say anything.
Kurt considered his words. He knew Wanda had heard. She was the only person he felt safe being so vulnerable with, but she’d never pressed him to talk about his nightmares, and he never talked about his nightmares. “I’m fine.”
Wanda laid back down, resuming running her fingers over his fur. “Maybe you should just try it, one appointment. It’s really not as bad as you think.” She considered his short blue fuzz. “It’s not bad at all.”
He sighed. She normally didn’t push things with him. If she was, maybe he should consider it. “If it will make you happy.”
She smiled, kissing his chin again. “I’ll talk to Zuhura and get it set up.”
