Just something I wanted to do since the idea was stuck in my head so badly. :S -I wasn't suppose to publish this but since someone asked me very nicely, and I hate to make people sad, I've decided to publish this anyway. ;)

R&R plz! :D

Lifty and Nutty are sitting next to each other on the train. They're on their way to visit Nutty's family in another town. The squirrel rarely talks about his family, Lifty had to nag for quite a while before Nutty gave in to let him meet them. So they're going to spend the first week of summer with them. Lifty looks out the window, thinking to himself 'I wonder why he's acting like this. I mean, how bad can his family be if he turned out this sweet?'. He eyes the squirrel next to him with a thoughtful expression.

Nutty is reading one of the magazines that comes with the seats, It's about different kind of cace so of course he is, he doesn't even look at Lifty when he says

"Ya feelin' carsick or somethin'?"

That's when Lifty realizes that he's staring Nutty down, only inches away.

Lifty sits up straight again, still watching his boyfriend.

"I guess I'm a little nervous to meet your parents, that's all..."

His confession is followed by an awkward silence between the two boys.

Lifty actually had in mind that Nutty would comfort him by telling him about how nice people they are but it looks like he's not going to say anything like that.

When he realizes that his plan is a failure he decides to try again.

"Are you nervous too?" Lifty asks with the most innocent voice he can make.

Nutty sighs, as to say 'okay, you win', and looks up from the magazine.

"Ma' folks can be a...pain in the patootie sometimes." Nutty mumbles as he closes the magazine and puts it away.

Lifty frowns and snickers gently.

"That's it? Don't worry, everybody think their parents are." Lifty pats the squirrel's head comfortingly. Nutty groans and pulls up his feet on the seat, hugging his legs.

"Ya'll understand once ya meet ma daddy..."

With that said the squirrel snuggles up against his boyfriend's shoulder and closes his eyes. Lifty puts his arms around Nutty to pull him closer. What did he mean by that? He can't be that bad, can he?

Nutty yawns and mumbles "Wake me when it's time for a snack, 'kay?"

Lifty nods and the squirrel makes a pleased yet cute sound.

[later]

Finally Nutty decides to wake up. Lifty lets out a sigh of relief when the squirrel sits up straight in his seat so he can get his blood back to his arm. Lifty takes Nutty's hand and follows him to the dining car.

He ends up by a table next to a window, eating a sandwich while Nutty's eating everything with sugar from the desert menu.

Still a little sleepy, Nutty puts a cupcake, with pink frosting and blue sprinkles in his mouth.

Lifty finds it strange how the fact that his boyfriend is only eating sweets never seem to quit amaze him.

"Eeehh...Nutty?" Lifty says low to the squirrel in front of him.

"Yeah?" Nutty answers with frosting around his mouth, looking a loot happier now.

"How come you're able to buy so much candy and stuff? I'm just curious."

Nutty's ears immediately drops and he now looks a little depressed.

"Because ma daddy owns a loot of hotels all over the country..." Nutty pokes a piece of cake as if he just lost his appetite.

"Wait...you...you're rich?" Lifty's jaw drops.

"Yeah." Nutty answers low.

"W-why haven't you told me before?"

"I didn't think it mattered..." Nutty mumbles and looks down at the cake.

Lifty's fingers begins to itch when the word 'rich' goes through his mind. When he realizes what he's doing he slaps himself mentally. 'Don't even think about it!'

"It doesn't matter. I'm just a little surprised. You don't look like the rich kid." Lifty tries to smile without looking like he's having second thoughts. Not that he is, he's just worried that it might look that way.

Nutty smiles slightly and takes a bite out of the cake.

"I guess you won't tell me anything else about your family, huh?" Lifty sighs when Nutty's done chewing his piece of cake.

"I don't wanna scare ya off before ya meet 'em, ya know?" Nutty answers nonchalant before he puts another piece in his mouth.

"Come on. You make it sound like they're evil or something." Lifty snickers and takes a strawberry from one of the many cakes on the table.

Nutty giggles at the comment and gives Lifty a look of relief.

"We're almost there. We should get goin'." Nutty states and gets up from his seat. Lifty does the same.

As they're walking back to their own car he can't help but feel like this is going to be a tough summer. But he can't imagine why.

(I know it's not perfect but "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy...)

Again, R&R (like always). I don't know why my brain is so stubborn when it comes to this pairing, it's like it only want to follow the same story all the time! :S

Oh well...I guess I'll go on like this forever then... T.T

Love ya! :D
