The flock and I were resting in a clearing after a couple hours of flight. Nudge was chattering away while Angel nodded randomly. She seemed distracted. Oh, well. Iggy and Gazzy were off somewhere probably making a bomb or just wrecking chaos, I'm not sure. Total was sleeping by the bags. He was supposed to be watching the bags. Why I agreed to that, I'll never know. And Fang was on a tree branch sleeping. I, myself, was on another tree branch staring up at the clear blue sky.
After a few moments, I felt my neck prickle as if somebody was watching me. I turned around and saw Fang staring at me. Apparently, he wasn't sleeping. His eyes were just closed. I raised my eyebrow at him and he just continued staring. I shrugged and went back to staring at the sky. I was too used to his weirdness.
Suddenly, I felt, rather than heard, leaves rustling and I saw Fang sitting on the branch beside mine.
"'Sup?" I asked him. He just shrugged and stared at the sky. I sighed and went back to staring. He then grabs my hand. I was surprised and looked at him. He was still staring at the sky. Then, he spoke.
"You know, you've got small hands." He commented. I raised an eyebrow.
"You notice that now?" I laugh. He looks at me, then his eyes staring at my own chocolate brown ones. I sucked in a breath. His eyes were full of affection and, I can't believe I was able to read it off his eyes, love.
"They're so small, it's amazing to think that you hold my world in them." He whispered. He leaned in and I started leaning in, too. Then, I pushed his head away.
"That was so cheesy, Fang, even for you." I laughed. He just smiled, which was his equivalent of a grin and shrugged.
"Well, can't blame a guy for trying." He said. Then he leaned in and kissed me on the mouth. Oh, did I forget to mention that Fang is my boyfriend now? Oops. My bad.
