On his wall, there is a big poster with 'Mutants Suck.' written on it, and another which says 'Is he one of them?'

Answer: Not a crush, they just connect. Storm feels for him because of the pain and suffering he has been through, and Nightcrawler feels for her because she is angry at the world and he tries to comfort her. Besides that, he is closer to her because she was the first of the group to try and get to know him.
