Well, here’s chapter 3 of my little Storm Hawks slashtastic fiction. I’m dedicating this chapter to my boyfriend, Greg, because I know he’ll be asking for a copy the minute I’m done. Oh, just a warning, the scene you’re all waiting for (pervs, haha) is most likely coming next chapter.
The Mile-High Club
Chapter 3
Damnit damnit damnit.
I keep cursing myself as I blindly maneuvered my way to my bedroom, tears stinging my bloodshot eyes. I just left him there…
I felt so bad, but I couldn’t face it. A Cyclonian attack? Pfft, a Sunday drive. Piper’s wise-ass remarks? No problem. But this…a crush on my best friend was something I couldn’t grasp. I’ve known this guy for only three years and he’s always been there for me, but has it been like, that?
The kiss wasn’t forced, but a kiss with Junko? It just seemed…awkward.
But it felt right.
I just couldn’t deny it. Why did he have to be so…loving? He’s supposed to be the tough-and-rumble guy!
Emotions in chaos, I sighed as I entered my room. I braced myself for the pain that would shoot up my legs, but amazingly, I got up by myself with little trouble. I awkwardly walked around for the first time in two weeks, a smile creeping onto my face, but leaving just as quickly. Another reminder of how I put myself first before others.
The strain was back and I sat on my bed, burying my face in my hands.
God, this is like a cheesy soap opera.
Why was it so hard to accept what I felt? Was I scared of what others would think? Chasing the girls we met on our journeys always seemed like my character, yet now it seems it was all a lie.
I fell onto my back and grabbed my headphones, hoping the music would drown out any hesitations I had.
Music didn’t help. My old, worn TV with three Atmos Access channels didn’t help. I even cracked open a lonely book I found burying under a mountain of garbage…nothing.
Frustrated, I sat help carefully as to not hurt my legs. Maybe a glass of water would help.
I limped my way through the main hull of the ship, wishing I had put on a blanket over myself. Teeth chattering, I suddenly wished for some tea; the heat would –
“Finn?” a voice asked, and I practically jumped out of my skin.
“Who the hel-”, I began shouting, but felt a hand quickly cover my mouth.
“Shhh, you idiot, it’s Piper!”
Relieved, I pulled her hand away. “Sorry, but don’t sneak up on me like that! I almost had a heart attack!”
Even in the dark, I could sense the scowl on her face. “What are you doing sneaking around? It’s three in the morning!”
“Thanks Mom, I almost forgot how to tell time,” I snapped sarcastically, and started walking again towards the kitchen.
Piper followed, her voice right in my ear. “Finn, you don’t have to be a jerk. I was just concerned. Why are you out of your wheelchair?”
I sighed, sitting down with a plop. “My legs are actually feeling better. I thought I would stretch them out a bit.”
Piper just looked at me, then shook her head. “Great. Do you want some tea?”
Is she reading my mind?
“Sure, thanks,” I said, honestly taken aback. Why is she being so nice to me?
A couple minutes later, she joined me at the table, two steaming cups in her hands. She passed one to me, and I immediately started sipping from it. The warmness sliding down my throat was always doing wonders.
“Finn, can I ask you a question?”
“Sure,” I said, half-heartedly listening.
“What have you been doing with Junko?”
At that point, I started choking on my tea, pounding my chest to try and swallow.
“W-what did you s-s-say?”
Totally ignoring my desperate fight to regain control of my lungs, she continued to stare at me. It was creeping me out.
“I just want to know.”
I started back at her as if she were insane. “Piper, there’s nothing between Junko and I. W-w-why would you think that?”
She snorted, then laughed. “Finn, I know we’re not best friends or anything, but we are co-pilots. Plus, I’m a girl. Girls have intuition.”
“Intu-what?”
Piper sighed again. “I just know you two are crushing.”
I couldn’t hide from her; she knew I’d be lying through my teeth. “I don’t know, Piper. I’m just…scared. Scared to jump headfirst into this. Especially without any support.”
“Finn, we’re the outcasts of Atmos. Do you really think we’d judge you based on your sexuality? All of us love each other, like a family. Families stick together.”
Families stick together.
That last line really got me. I could feel the tears threatening to make themselves known again, and I realized I turning into quite an emotional guy.
“What should I do?” I whispered, holding my breath.
Piper put her hand on mine and squeezed it. “You need to tell Junko how you feel. It sounds simple when I say it, but it might be difficult once you actually do it.”
I nodded, then smiled. “Thanks Piper.”
Suddenly she got up, yawning, and helped me up. “Anytime, Finn. One more thing though.”
“Yeah?”
“Stop keeping yourself a prisoner in your own mind.”
She left me there, a little confused, and suddenly I was very much alone.
Thinking about her last words, I found myself walking to Junko’s door, mind screaming to turn back. My pleas went unheard and my hand turned the knob on his door carefully and quietly.
I carefully tiptoed my way to the foot of his large bed. You’d think a guy like him would snore the roof off the Condor, but the Wallop was in a deep, silent sleep.
That’s when I noticed he was holding something in his hand.
It’s a photo of him and I!
I drew my breath and felt terrible again. Who knows how long he sat there, thinking about what I did…
I bent down, my heart racing, and put my lips on his. They were so soft. I broke the gentle kiss and suddenly the sharp pain in my legs was back, and with a vengeance.
Shit.
Panicking, I sat down on the bed as softly as I could, rubbing my legs. I had to elevate them, and quick. I swung them onto the bed, and –
Oh my god, I’m laying in his bed with him.
I had to get up, but, the bed was so soft and I found myself drifting…
off to…
Oh boy, this should be interesting. Thanks for all the reviews everyone; I should be updating again in the next couple days.
