The Heart of A Human
Paired Couple: ZakXPips/SLASH!/Lemon
A/N: Again, the disclaimers are as always. Now shut up and read! Or if you're not a fan of this pairing, yaoi, boy-on-boy romance, or sex, then suck it and leave! XD
Zak thought he was about to have a heart attack when all the faeries of Ferngully popped out of their hiding places to wish him the biggest happy birthday cheer that he had ever had. His heart was going what felt like two-hundred miles a minute!
A certain red-head dispatched himself from the crowd and wrapped his arms around him.
"Happy birthday, Zak." Pips whispered into his ear, grinning.
"Pips? Did you have something to do with this?" The blond finally managed to gasp out, not able to believe that Pips even knew what a birthday was... or what it meant to him to have his lover arrange this surprise.
"I might have." The red headed faerie said coyly.
"But... How did you know?"
"Let's just say I have my ear to the ground, babe."
Crysta flew over to join the two. Zak looked over Pips' shoulder to see her flying over, suddenly remembering that she was the only faerie he told about human birthdays.
He smiled at Pips knowingly.
"...Crysta told you, didn't she?"
"Hey! I'm trying to be sentimental here!" Pips gave him a playful slap on his rear, causing him to jump two feet.
"Having a good birthday so far, Zak?" Crysta giggled, having witnessed their playfulness.
The blond faerie resettled himself next to Pips, putting an arm around his waist. "Uh... Yea..." He blushed, looking down at the forest floor several feet below in embarrassment.
She smiled, her kind green eyes glittering mischievously. "Well, there's much more to it than just a simple greeting." She flew back to the assembled crowd of faeries.
"You call that 'simple'?" Zak asked, incredulous.
"Okay guys, let's party!" Crysta yelled happily, accompanied by cheers.
Several faeries pulled out flutes and small harps and began playing a melodic tune while the rest went and gathered several big leaves weighing heavily with fruits, vegetables, and nuts. They assembled the food out on the forest floor.
Batty Koda, who had been at the back of the assembled group, spotted the food and dived down to a particularly juicy pear. He gorged on the fruit, his cheeks full and juice dripping down his chin. He looked like the happiest marsupial that anyone had ever seen. A few faeries laughed good-naturally as they watched him stuff his face.
The day was taken up by music, dancing, rejoicing, and the consumption of lots of good food. With Pips by his side, Zak was having the time of his life!
Pips loved seeing the smile on Zak's face as his lover enjoyed the sights and savored many flavors. But seeing him sit out while many danced to the music didn't make Pips satisfied. Zak should enjoy dancing!
The red head stood up from the ground and lowered his hand to the blond. Zak looked up at him, confused.
"Wanna dance?" Pips queried with a tempting smile and the quirk of an eyebrow.
"What? Oh, no. I... I don't dance." Zak declined, picking up a wooden goblet and taking a long drink of water to hide his shame.
Pips' wolfish grin only got bigger. Zak knew what that meant...
"Nonsense." He grabbed the blond's hand and pulled him up. Zak stumbled to his feet and fell against Pips. Pips only chuckled warmly, holding the other faerie in his arms, just before he pulled them into the air to dance.
The wind instruments and the harp played a soothing note. As Pips led Zak into a folk dance of the faeries, a tradition that had been upheld for countless centuries, the minutes blurred into hours. And Zak could only keep Pips in his line of vision as they danced.
~/~/~/~/~/~/
Zak sat down at last, thankful for the reprieve. He was sweating slightly and trying hard to catch his breath. He hadn't danced in a good couple of years, so the adrenaline and dexterity that was required for such a thing made him think that he might be a little out of shape.
Pips sat down next to him and smiled. The blond could only blush in embarrassment, feeling out of practice. The red head took his hand in his.
All the faeries settled down in a circle around Crysta, who proceeded to stand on the forest floor among them in a single ray of moonlight that peered from between the branches far above them. When everyone quieted down, she spoke.
"Today, many seasons ago, marks the birth of our friend Zak!"
All manners of cheers erupted among the crowd, whilst Batty Koda sang harmoniously between mouthfuls of berry, "Happy birthday to you..! Happy birthday to you..!"
After the cheers had subsided, Crysta continued, "And with every passing season, it reminds us all of what is important to us: family." At this point, Crysta looked directly at the couple sitting in the third row back in front of her line of vision. "Pips, if you would care to join me..."
Confused, Zak watched his lover leave his side, after squeezing his hand before letting go, to join the leader of the faeries. Pips gave a warm smile and winked at him mischievously before clearing his throat to speak.
"Zak, I know that you have had a wonderful life here in Ferngully among us, but I also know that you have had to leave behind the life you once had... So I'm offering you a chance to reclaim what you had sacrificed..."
The golden haired faerie's heart started to palpitate, uncertain of what was transpiring. Everyone in the audience looked at him with just as much confusion stamped on their faces. Even Batty stopped devouring his fruit to gape at him, his jaw hung wide on it's hinges as bits of fruit juice dripped from his teeth, giving him a comical and flabbergasted appearance.
Pips walked back over to Zak, parting through the assembled crowd as he reached down and grabbed Zak's hands in his, looking into his crystalline eyes all the while.
Not taking his gaze off of him, the red head continued loud enough for everyone to hear, although it was aimed for Zak. "Would you like to become human for seven cycles of the moon and walk among humans with me, Zak?...Would you like to visit your family one last time?"
The crowd gasped. It was one thing to have a human physically changed and living among them, but to have one of their own becoming human...?
"A-Are you serious?"
"I am."
Zak looked down at his feet. He had been wanting to see his uncle and cousins again, but this was unexpected! He never dreamed that he would have that chance again after becoming a faerie!
Emerald green eyes pierced him, awaiting his answer. He was truly stunned and didn't know what to say, or how to react, to such a sudden and surprising question.
Zak had to admit, he did wonder from time to time on how Pips would look as a human and how he'd get along in the human world. The thought made him smile.
"For seven days?"
"Seven." A tone of agreement.
The blond held the red head's hand in his and lifted it into the air amongst the crowd of waiting fae. "I accept!" He declared loudly enough for all to hear.
With raucous applause, the crowd went wild! Pips leaned over next to his partner and kissed his earlobe, whispering, "Happy birthday, love."
~/~/~/~/~/
A/N: So here's where the fun begins... Fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be one heck of a ride!
