A Mercenary's Homecoming
The Starfox team sat in the lounge of the new Greatfox. Slippy sat on the couch, eating an apple, and he was over all very bored. No repairs to the Arwings or upgrades were needed. They were full of fuel but the ships have been sitting dormant on the flight deck for about 6 months now. He sighed and stood up to throw away his apple core. He walked by Krystal who was reading a magazine. Slippy looked at the clock. It read 9:47.
"Funny how you sit around all day and do nothing yet still feel tired, huh Slip." Krystal said as he dropped the core in the garbage can.
"Yeah, weird huh. Guess I'll be hitting the sack a little early tonight. Good night, see ya in the morning." He yawned and walked down the hallway to his room.
Krystal put her magazine on the table and brushed her blue bangs out of her eyes. She stood up and looked over at Falco and Peppy. Peppy as usual had fallen asleep in his favorite recliner. Surprisingly Falco was also asleep, stretched out on the couch, snoring softly. She looked over at Fox who had gotten up to get a drink of water.
"Looks like Falco hit it a little early too," He smiled one of his good natured smiles and got a water bottle out of the fridge and opened it, "I assume you'll be going to bed early to tonight also Krystal?"
"Yeah, why not, it will bring tomorrow a little sooner I guess." She came towards Fox and placed a small kiss on his cheek, "Goodnight Fox, looks like you'll be the only one awake tonight." Falco had usually stayed up with Fox while he made sure no late calls came in. He reinstated Krystal's words with a loud snore.
"Hehe, looks like I am doesn't it. I'll be in my room soon enough though. Goodnight." Krystal walked of into the hallway her tail swishing behind her. Fox couldn't help staring as the blue fox walked down the hallway. Krystal sensed this and turned her head. Fox quickly looked away blushing and tried acting busy. Krystal silently laughed and turned down the hallway to her room.
Fox started thinking on how to break the ice with Krystal. It was obvious they were more than friends. He just really didn't know how to approach it. The one area in life he wasn't experienced in was women. He shook his head and drank the rest of his water. He threw the water bottle from a fair distance into the trashcan. To bad no one saw it.
Krystal soon found herself in her room. The door silently shutting behind her. She couldn't understand Fox. He was interested in her that was for sure, yet he held back. Was he shy or was it something else? Krystal didn't know. Only time would tell.
Here it is better than my last attempt (I hope). Reviews please!
