Summary; Two people with "K" names go on a date. Worst summary ever.
Log;

Kitty might admit that she spent some amount of time trying to pick out something to wear but she’d never admit just how long. Probably because eventually she’d lost track of time and in the end she just ended up frustrated and picking out something she was comfortable with; a black halter top shirt with a pair of stonewash jeans. She walked through her room’s wall and then through the cabin’s door, doors were for people who--well needed doors, and then made her way towards the Moss Garden.

She wasn’t sure why she was nervous it’s not like she really should be, or should she? It wasn’t Kaidan that made her nervous but rather the fact that he’d asked her out. Which wasn’t a bad thing at all, in fact she thought it was a good thing but she always had the worry of that semi-inevitable part where she’d say something insanely embarrassing. Or that some sort of evil power would decide this exact moment would be the perfect time to execute their new plan to destroy members of the X-Men. At least here that one wasn’t that likely.

Either way she was still really looking forward to seeing him.

"Yeah, no kidding," he said, laughing. "Instead, it was a remote space station near Pluto. We all called it 'Brain Camp.'"

"Nothing bad," he said, looking away thoughtfully. "I didn't have a choice, but my parents did."

"Near Pluto? That adds to the secret specialness," she laughed, "Brain Camp? I think I like the ring of that. It's probably really called something like fill in the blank research center or just something like the facility isn't it?"

When the subject got back to that Kitty stopped laughing again, it just made her angry that people could do that, "I don't get people sometimes. You should have been the one to make any decisions especially something that changing. I'm sorry...it's not my place to be angry or annoyed. It sounds childish to say but it just seems really unfair."

"Jump Zero is what it was and is called." He said. "They don't do research on biotics there anymore, but it's still around for other purposes." His eyes said there was much more to the story.

He shrugged at the thought of the amp. It let him do his job, and biotics got paid more than most other military personnel, so he didn't mind too much. "It's not so bad. It's a part of me now."

"That's actually more creative then I'd have guessed." She said with a mocking voice. "I'm guessing it's not attempting to bring world peace and happiness through non-violent happy means?"

"I'm sorry..." Was really all she could say. She didn't like the idea of people not having their own choice in things or the idea that other people had chosen something for him that ended up bringing him pain sometimes. But she was worried that asking all these questions about the research facility and the amp might be too intrusive.

"It's the outer-most outpost of the Sol system, actually." He said, and his matter-of-fact tone said he wished it just didn't exist anymore. Quite frankly, he hated the place. It was...he shook his head to clear it. No thoughts of all that today. Today was about Kitty.

"So, what do you do for fun, Kitty?"

"Space adventures are always the best, in that not really best best way," She said attempting to joke, she wanted to make him smile again because she liked it.

"Fun. Hmm...well back home sometimes I'd take some time off for concerts. Before I was asked to come back to the school to teach I was going to college. Normal life I guess, I had a good time at my job then actually. What about you?"

He chuckled. Not the best best. Wasn't that the truth.

"Me?" He was quiet for a moment, realizing he was, all in all, pretty boring. "Well, I read. I love to learn. Um, and I fiddle with computers." He smiled shyly and looked down. "And I sound really boring."

Kitty laughed a lot at that. "I'm not really exciting at all myself, being boring isn't that bad. I really like to read, learn, and I love building computers and messing with other types of technology."

Kaidan looked interested. "We seem to have a lot in common, then."

"We're both boring?" Kitty teased.

He laughed. "We're both geeks."

"I prefer to think of it as...yeah okay we're both geeks," she grinned. "But I'm a geek that's also danced on stage at a concert and worked at a bar. We're going to have to work on getting you some adventure," She poked him teasingly.

"It doesn't count that I'm the staff lieutenant of a star ship, does it?"

"I just don't know if that would cut it. It doesn't seem like a wild enough time," She said with a small smirk.

"Hell," he said, almost as much to himself as to Kitty, but he smiled all the while, "I am boring."

"Aww but at least you're cute while being boring," she said. She kind of stared for a moment as if she really hadn't meant to say that out loud and tried to turn her face away as she blushed.

Kaidan smiled. She really thought so? It was nice being around someone that didn't constantly think your head was going to explode or that you were suddenly going to turn on them and rip their throats out to smash them through a wall.

"Thanks, Kitty."

"Really, I um...I meant it. If that's not weird to say, it probably is, sorry." She smiled awkwardly.

"It's not weird," He said, stopping and pulling gently on her hand to stop her as well. "It's a compliment, and I thank you."

"You're welcome then," she said stopping.

Kaidan let his eyes wander over her for a moment, taking her in. She wasn't dressed to impress or anything like that, but her clothes, in that respect, just accented her natural beauty. The curve of her lips, the bounce of her hair in the wind, it all seemed to be just another part of her. She was comfortable like this. Kaidan could definitely respect that.

"Well," he said, his voice quiet. "I mean this: you're beautiful."

Kitty feel uncomfortable when he looked at her, she had that feeling of maybe not being that great to look at that. He was really handsome himself and she always did have lower confidence in the looks and people department.

She really turned red at that, "Jeez and I'd just turned a normal shade again," she said with a chuckle. "Thank you...that's really nice of you."

"It's also true, Kitty," he said, "no matter what you may think."

She tried to make her smile as confident as possible, "What makes you think I may think differently?"

He smoothed a hand over her hair. "The way you can't quite meet my eyes when you agree."
