Fox McCloud: Deception

Authors Notes

Hello, and welcome to my 2nd full length fan fiction. Much like Unforgiven, this is a romance. It deals with trust, loss, and a forgiveness. I literally just thought up the idea about five minutes ago, listening to the song "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin. In fact, I actually am not sure how this one is going to end up because I merely thought up the premise. But either way, I have a good feeling about this next fan fic!

Ratings wise, this is getting a T for language, drug use, and implied sex.

Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Oh and one more thing, this is non canon.

Chapter One: I'll Be Your Distraction

Fox and Krystal laid in their large bed, having just finished their usual Friday evening ritual of ordering and eating some pizza, followed by some good old fashioned lovin'. The sheets between them smelled of sex and rich mahogany. Fox looked over at the maroon walls and saw a picture of the whole Star Fox team. From left to right it was Slippy, Peppy, Falco, ROB, Krystal, and himself. Everyone looked extremely happy in the photo, and it brought on a sense of euphoria to the vulpine.

"That was quite a delicious romp, wouldn't you say?" Fox asked Krystal.

"Well," She responded, letting out a sigh in the process. "Depends on your definition of delicious."

"Let me rephrase it then," He said in a devilishly sly way. "did you have fun?"

"Oh well in that case, yes." She replied with a giggle.

The two kissed and sat up, looking out the amazing view that the two had from their thirtieth floor apartment. The whole city was lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Don't you just love Corneria City? It's got everything you could possibly want."

"Yeah, everything…" Krystal trailed off a little.

"What?"

"Nothing, I'm just talking to myself."

"Hmm, you've been doing that a lot lately. Makes me wonder what's got you gossiping with yourself." The vulpine said jokingly. Krystal didn't respond back.

"Fox, I need to t-"

"Hold that thought, I'll be right back."

Fox got out of bed and headed into the bathroom. While he was there, Krystal was silently crying. She knew she was doing wrong but couldn't muster up the strength to tell her lover. Every time she tried, she would suddenly be distracted by something or Fox would be distracted instead. It had reached the point of her just blurting it out, or not telling him at all. Why couldn't she just tell him? Even if it meant having to leave him forever, she just wanted to let him know. Her cowardess was only making the guilt worse. She heard a flush and immediately composed herself. The still naked vulpine stood in the doorway.

"Krystal, I was just wondering, after your drill exercises, if you could come with me to the mall to shop for a new flight vest. Mine's getting a bit old and worn down."

"And then some, sure..." He gave the blue vixen a kiss and hopped back in bed.

"I love you."

"I love you too Fox…" She struggled to hold back the tears.

Fox turned the lights off, leaving Krystal in the similar situation she was leaving Fox in.
