Well, here I go. This is my first story, so go easy on me.
Chapter One: A Night to Remember~Blu~
As I woke up two days after our incident, I glanced over at Jewel. I sat there and watched her breathing gently, her sides rising and falling.
Jewel is so beautiful.. She doesn't know that I love her yet, but today shall be the day. I told myself as I glided to the forest floor. I set about preparing a feast for her, adding some mangoes and other fruits to the mix. As I put the finishing touches on the food, I knew what would make her happy.
Jewel really loves lilies, I'll put some near where she would sit. I easily found the lilies, and carefully doing so, I placed them right near where she would be. I saved one, knowing how to start off her morning with a smile. As I softly flapped back to our nest, a thought occurred.
What if Jewel doesn't love me?
Wait a minute, she wouldn't kiss me like she does if she didn't love me. I told myself as I lay back down beside Jewel. I knew that she would wake soon. As gently as I could to avoid waking her up, I placed the spare lily in her head feathers.
She's so beautiful.. I would give anything if we could spend our lives together.. Blushing, I gently draped my wing over her and went back to sleep. I knew that, at some time today, I would tell her that I loved her. I mean, who couldn't fall in love with her, anyway? She was beautiful, had a great personality-When she isn't mad at me.-and above all else, she knew just how to treat me. With a soft sigh, I gently turned over towards her back.
~Jewel~
It was another day in the jungle. For me, it was the start of my new life with Blu. I slept easily, knowing he would be there for me. After a while, I felt him drape his wing over me. I smiled, knowing that he had a crush on me. I also heard him sigh and turn over. Slowly, I draped one of my wings over him. I was fully awake by then, and turned over toward him.
He's so cute when he blushes.. I thought, and slowly gave him a kiss on his beak, but just a short one. I gently eased his wing off of me, and stood up. I walked to the edge of our nest and looked around.
"Jewel, morning." I heard Blu tell me, and smiled at him. This, of course, made him blush. I slowly glided down to the forest floor and gasped. In front of me, there were mangoes and every fruit I liked. He even got some lilies for me, too.
Aww, how nice of him. I walked over and started to eat a mango when he landed beside me. Smiling, I rubbed his head.
"This was very sweet of you, Blu." I watched him blush as I touched him, and smiled. He slowly placed a wing on my left wing, and I looked over at him.
"Blu, do you have something to say?" I asked casually, as I waited for his reaction.
"Jewel, I've been wanting to say that I…That I…" I giggled at his loss of words, making him blush a deeper shade of red. I resumed eating, until he hugged me. Instead of ruining the moment, I let him hug me.
Blu seems a little different this morning. I turned to face him, and hugged him in return, knocking us on the ground. Blu blushed again when I landed directly on his chest.
"Jewel, I…" I listened to him, then giggled a little.
"Yes, Blu?" I watched his reaction, he had already started to sweat.
"Jewel…" I looked directly into his eyes, he blushed again.
Oh my god, is he going to say that he loves me?
Blu looked me directly in my eyes as he said,
"Jewel…I love you. I can't stand to know that you might be hurt, or alone. I would give anything to protect you, I might even sacrifice myself for you. I want you to know this, so that the day when…" As he came to this part, he was nearly in tears. "When you a-are about to d-die.." Now he was actually crying. I squealed and kissed him, knowing that now I could tell him how I felt.
"Oh Blu, I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time." Blu was gasping for breath after we had finished, but he smiled as he waited for me to tell him.
"Blu, I love you too!" I cried, and kissed him again. I knew that this was our moment, and it would be kept as a fond memory. That same day, before we went to sleep, Blu surprised me. This time, he actually kissed me first! I giggled when he pulled away, and I slept in his wings.
"This is a night to remember," we said simultaneously as we fell asleep. We didn't know how we were going to spend our life together, but at least we now knew that we were in love with each other.
