A Walk In the Woods

A/N: I wrote this in about 30 minutes. Don't be surprised if it's really bad.
Rachel walked up to him. They were deep in the woods. Their plan, like always, was to fly, but somehow they got preoccupied with their conversation. After a while Tobias changed into a human so they could walk.
"You ever think what it would be like in the future?" She asked.
"I thought about going back to school. Start the eighth grade over again and work my up, maybe even go to college."
"I've thought about that too. I would start my freshman year over again, and I've always wanted to go to college. What do you want to major in?" Tobias was not paying attention. He was looking at Rachel. Her blond hair, the tip of her nose, everything between her shoulders and hips. He wanted her more than the hawk in him wanted his next meal.
"You." Then he realized what he just said. "I mean, uh, I haven't really thought about it." She looked at him and smiled. He smiled too. "I'm sorry."
"Tobias, I believe that's called a Freudian slip. I think it revealed what you were truly thinking."
"Yeah, and I think you just revealed what you're going to be majoring in, Psychology." They laughed. He slid his arm around her waist.
"I've been thinking about other things too." He chuckled. "Oh man this is hard." He tried to clear his mind. "I was thinking that if I met the right girl, I would have a family. But there are times I think that we won't live that long. I want a sort of Carpe diem life. Live from one day to the next."
"And have you figured out who the right girl is?" She stopped and turned to look at him and reached out to hold his hands.
"She's standing right in front of me." Her hands wrapped around his shoulders. His hands went around her waist. They drew closer and closer. It seemed an eternity before their lips touched. Their lips were on fire. Their tongues splashed together. Something neither of them had experienced. They parted in surprise. It was a new emotion. After a few minutes they just smiled.
"Oh! I'm telling mom you were making out in the woods!"
"Sara come back here!" She sighed. "How would you like one of those?!" She asked Tobias.
He laughed "I think we can wait on that a little while."
