Kurt Wagner, better known as Nightcrawler, found himself in a familiar yet nerve-wracking situation. He was perched on the edge of a rooftop, his usual playful confidence wavering as he glanced down at the street below where you, his best friend and secret crush, were waiting.

You two had always shared a close bond—laughing at the silliest things, training together, and comforting each other after rough missions. But lately, Kurt had been feeling something more. Every time you smiled at him, his heart would flutter, and he couldn't help but wonder if you felt the same. Taking a deep breath, Kurt teleported down to where you stood.

"Hallo, mein Schatz," Kurt replied, his tail flicking nervously behind him. He usually used playful nicknames, but this one slipped out unintentionally, carrying a deeper meaning he hoped you wouldn't notice.
