Hi, fellow KFP fans! So, it's been a while since I updated my other story, /Sweet Sorrow/, and I feel just awful about that. In an attempt to get back into writing, I've decided to do a 50-Sentence prompt. CraLing style. (Is that the pairing name? I don't even know). Anyways, here we go!
#01-CLEAN
He caught his first glimpse of her when he was mopping in the mess hall; she walked by, chatting with friends, sending him a courteous nod when he caught her eye.
#02-NECK
Mei Ling loved to kiss and nibble his long neck; Crane had no objections.
#03-FLIGHT
The mere sight of her makes him feel as though he's soaring through the air (even though his skinny little feet are planted on the ground).
#04-SHY
Their first few conversations (if they can be called such) mostly consisted of the mountain cat trying to get a response from him, while the poor bird stumbled over his own words.
#05-NOISY
She's delightfully surprised to learn that he's the more...vocal one of the pair behind closed doors, and teases him relentlessly for it.
#06-TEA
In their days at Lee Da, they would often have tea and talk and laugh all through the night.
#07-JEALOUS
While Crane never really said it aloud, he actually enjoyed the rare occasions where Mei Ling would send a cold glare at any interested female that neared him (besides, she's cute when she's jealous).
#08-COMFORT
Whenever the day leaves him particularly drained, her bright smile and warm embrace make it alright.
#09-FASHION
He donned his trademark hat, while she wore her scarf.
#10-PARTNER
Shifu (and everyone else, for that matter) is amazed at just how well the two fit together- both in battle, and out.
#11-GOODBYE
She tried her very best to not let the tears spill from her eyes until he left the academy.
#12-EYES
The stars reminded him of her twinkling eyes.
#13-ART
"Crane, I'm getting tired. Can I stop posing now?"
#14-KISS
He was mildly surprised that she didn't mind when his beak awkwardly clashed with her muzzle on their first kiss (she simply chuckled and pulled him closer...)
#15-SUPPORT
"Don't worry, Crane. You're improving. I know you can do it, so don't worry about it, okay?"
#16-CHARMING
She just loved how adorable sweet and shy he was- especially how flustered he got around her.
#17-DANCE
While he didn't care much for dancing in public, he loved holding her tight, moving together as he gazed into her eyes, and made sure to never turn her down when asked.
#18-TIME
Sometimes he wondered how things would have turned out if he had told her all those years ago.
#19-SILENCE
Crane could always tell when something was really bothering her; she'd sit still, silent and unmoving.
#20-BOLD
She gasped as he unexpectedly wrapped his wings around her, looked her directly in the eye, smiled, and said, "Good morning, My Love."
#21-BLUSH
In the beginning stages of their courtship, Crane was so easily flustered when openly acknowledged as her 'boyfriend', the avian would timidly tilt his hat over his face.
#22-PARADISE
Crane never would have imagined he'd have such a wonderful life- with her by his side to share it with.
#23-TABLE
She quickly looked away as she was caught staring at him as he ate.
#24-LINK
Mei Ling knew their bond was a special one- but it was only until after he left that she realized just how much she cared for Crane.
#25-BATH
Accidentally walking in on her bath left him unable to look her in the eye for days following (until she finally kissed him to snap him out of it).
#26-ATTENTION
Crane admittedly did enjoy how attentive she was- how she was only happy to listen to him.
#27-PUBLIC
It didn't take long for nearly all of China to know when they had 'officially' become a couple.
#28-DREAM
During their time apart, they would only ever see each other in their dreams.
#29-POEM
She giggled when she noticed the spot of ink on his beak, and asked him what he was working on; he smiled and responded "I'll let you read it later."
#30-FEAR
Now that Crane was going to leave, he wanted nothing more but to tell her how he felt; in the end, he couldn't do it.
#31-STARS
On the roof, they talked and laughed and looked at the night sky one last time until it was lit by the sun, and Crane would have to leave.
#32-HONEY
It was his eyes- the color of gold honey- that she gazed into whenever they danced.
#33-DISTRACTION
He tried (and failed) to continue his reading as she began to flick her tail along his leg.
#34-ENERGY
Their first time had him spent after a short while- she didn't mind though, and let him rest as she lovingly caressed and kissed his neck.
#35-SPAR
Oftentimes, their sparring sessions would lead to other...more intimate affairs.
#36-ARGUE
The others merely stared as they briefly went back and forth one moment, and kissed and made up the next.
#37-TOGETHER
Students and teachers alike constantly saw the need to comment on the two's closeness, to which they both would have to (embarrassingly) clear up: "We're just friends!"
#38-FESTIVAL
Crane knew that radiant glow wasn't coming from the moon or the fireworks or the lanterns in the background- but from her beautiful smile.
#39-MEADOW
It was in a field where they had confessed to each other, surrounded by Forget-Me-Nots, their words carried by the gentle wind that blew around them.
#40-SPEECHLESS
She can't seem to think of a single thing to say when he tells her he's been summoned to the Jade Palace.
#41-TICKLE
She would always burst into peals of laughter whenever he raked his wings along her sides.
#42-PROMISE
In her heart's devotion to him, she swore she would love no other; little did she know, he made a similar pact.
#43-SOFT
She loved to cuddle with him, soaking in his warmth, feeling his fluffy feathers against her fur.
#44-SNOW
Wrapping the scarf around him, Mei pulled him to her, placing a kiss on his beak, and Crane no longer felt cold.
#45-TRY
He wanted to be stronger, a better warrior, and he'd keep trying- for her.
#46-MIRROR
The bird checked his reflection, a frown on his face- which morphed into a smile as the mountain cat appeared at his side, placing a sweet and loving kiss on his cheek.
#47-SPY
At the end of their second date, they caught Monkey and Mantis observing from behind the bushes.
#48-VOICE
Sometimes Crane would hear her humming or singing softly at night, after she'd thought he had fallen asleep.
#49-FAR
Mei Ling sighed, looking out beyond the horizon, far beyond the mountains and towards the direction of the Valley of Peace.
#50-REUNION
When the two old friends saw each other again, it was as if a lifetime had passed by- and yet at the same instance, no time at all.
Okay, I should probably clear this up: some of these would take place at Lee Da (before and after Crane became a student), some while they were apart, and some would take place if they ever saw each other again.
