I've decided to continue the story since so many people were asking me to. Sorry about it being a bit short, I was pushed for time. I hope it'll turn out ok! Please R&R and let me know what you think! The song used was No One by Alicia Keys.
It was nearing midnight and the moon was shining brightly while flooding the entire Atmos in it's wonderful light. There were no clouds in the sky, letting the many bright, white stars twinkle and shimmer. A small carrier ship was quietly flying towards an unknown destination. It bore a circular hawk shape logo on the hull, dark blue in colour. Outside the bridge, on the balcony, stood a lone girl.
She was wearing thick trousers and a woollen jumper to protect her from the bitter coldness that swept over the ship. Her deep blue hair was down for once and loose around her shoulders, blowing this way and that, courtesy of the wind. Her amber eyes were relaxed and her soft brown skin reflected the moonlight, making her seem to glow in the most beautiful way. Her arms were folded tightly into her chest, preventing as much warmth as possible from escaping. A cold wind whipped around her and a chill travelled up her spine causing her to shiver. Little did she know she was being watched.
She leant forward onto the rail and let her mind wander. She remembered a song she was listening to earlier on that day and started to hum the tune. Slowly she began to sing.
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
Her watcher was held in enchantment. Her voice was beautiful, it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. He was sure he was blushing at this. He wouldn't be surprised if he was a deeper shade of red than his hair.
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you ,you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
The girls foot started to tap the ground with a steady beat and soon her hips were swaying as she sung.
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's going to be alright
The boy watcher was mesmerised by her delicate and gentle movements, it amplified her beauty so much. His emerald eyes took in every detail possible, sweeping over her body and curves.
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
She trailed off still singing under her breath. Her movements decreased to a minimum as she started to gaze into the black abyss that surrounded her. The boy wanted so very much to say something, to compliment in some way but he found nothing. He was too scared of what might happen. They're such good friends. What if it went wrong? He couldn't risk it, he just couldn't. He sighed and turned to return to his sleeping quarters.
The girl swore she heard something, yet when she turned around there was nothing there. Another shiver down her body persuaded her that she was going to catch pneumonia if she stayed outside for much longer. She slowly turned and walked in the welcoming warmth of the bridge, still singing under her breath.
The next morning, a huge crash woke her from her dreamless sleep and her eyes snapped open as if they were blinds. Groaning, she rolled over and fell out of bed. The boy, hearing the thump emitting from his team mate's room, knocked on her door to see if she was ok. "Come in." was the muffled moan he heard. Opening the door a tiny bit, he stuck his head around to see what was going on. He saw the girl on the floor rolled up in her duvet. She was clutching her head and groaning in discomfort. A flush of pink entered his cheeks before quickly retreating again.
"You ok Piper?" he asked in worry. She looked up at him and groaned again.
"Yes, I'll be fine, I just fell out of bed. What was that loud crash?" Piper questioned while trying to get up. She failed miserably so she just lay on the floor looking up at Aerrow. "Uh, Aerrow? Are you OK?" Aerrow was staring at Piper but he came back to his senses as soon as he heard his name.
"Oh yeah, right, yeah, whatever." he replied quickly. Piper swore she saw a touch of pink enter his pale cheeks but it was gone as soon as it came. "That was Finn. He crashed into a bucket, spilt water everywhere, slid on that and tripped over a mop. He was chasing Radarr." Piper rolled her eyes.
"Hair gel situation again?". Aerrow nodded . Piper sighed as she rolled over. "You tell Finn that if he doesn't pack this in, he's going to get a seriously bad butt-kicking from moi." Aerrow chuckled at her comment. "I hate this duvet! It just won't get off me!" Piper fumed as she thrashed about in her white prison.
"Hold on. I'll help." Aerrow said as he entered the room. He knelt down on the floor and started to untangle the duvet. The flowing material slowly began to free itself and Piper was able to move. They suddenly noticed how close they were and the current position they were in; Piper lying on the floor with only part of the duvet now covering her and Aerrow knelt down leaning over her. She was wearing a plain white t-shirt and pale blue shorts while Aerrow wore a shirt and loose grey trousers.
Piper could feel Aerrow's breath tingle on contact with her lips and Aerrow could see Piper was starting to blush. He leant down and whispered something in her ear. "You sing beautifully." his hair tickling the side of Pipers face as he said so.
"T-Thank you." Piper stuttered. "It was you…". Aerrow nodded meekly before placing one of his fingers on Pipers lips, silencing her. He leant over and brushed the hair out of her face. He gazed into her amber spheres before saying anything.
"You have beautiful eyes…" he whispered before he leant in over her. He was about to brush her lips with his when they heard whistling coming from the hallway. Both of them turned to look at the door realising it had been left open. Their eyes widened as they started to panic they knew it was too late to do anything. Unless by some miraculous event did the person just walk by the door without glancing or even looking in the room, they knew this was going to be the talk of the day and most possibly the rest of the month.
Aerrow silently begged to himself 'Please not Finn, please not Finn!'. The whistling had stopped and a pair of big sapphire blue eyes were staring into the room. 'Great' he thought to himself, 'He's never going to let this go.'.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Finn asked curiously, a smile spreading across his face. Aerrow searched his mind for something to say. He glanced at Finn and back at the floor and then suddenly looked straight at Finn. His expression was totally readable. His smile turned into an uncontrollable grin and Aerrow started to get to his feet.
"Say one thing and you-"
"GUYS! LOOKIE WHAT I FOUND!!" Finn bellowed at the top of his voice, attracting the attention of all the Storm Hawks. Aerrow looked at Piper with OMG-I'm-going-to-kill-him look on his face but when he turned around, he noticed that Finn had disappeared. Sprinting out of Piper's room, he caught a glimpse of the blonde turning a corner, leading to the Bridge. Using all the energy he had, he rounded the corner and burst down the hall after the blonde, desperate to stop him. He wasn't going to make it, Finn was nearly there. A few seconds later, Finn burst onto the bridge, gasping for air distracting the occupants in the room from their previous tasks. Stork and Junko looked at him, waiting for him to start. He coughed and began to speak really quickly. "You'll never guess what I saw, I sa-" but he was cut off my Aerrow hurling himself through the door and landing on top of him. He grabbed Finn and proceeded to drag the struggling teen back out of the bridge. Aerrow's hand was covering his mouth, making it impossible to talk. As they left the room, Stork mumbled something about 'Mind Worms' and how they should all be tested even though there was no real cure.
Hauling Finn through the doors, Aerrow picked him up off of the floor and pinned him against the wall. This rage was a side of Aerrow he had never seen before. "If you so much as mutter one word as to what you saw in there, so help me I'll hunt you down and kick you ass." growled Aerrow with a tone of ferocity that Finn had never heard before. His emerald green eyes were filled with anger and Finn could see this was no joke. "Am I clear?" he hissed. Finn nodded in fear and as the anger retreated from his eyes, he felt it was safe to talk again.
"Hey bro." Aerrow responded by turning and looking Finn in the eye, "Sorry. I Didn't mean to do it. Just came over me."
"Don't worry Finn." Aerrow said, smiling. "It's probably Piper you should apologize to though."
"Dude! Every time I try to apologize for something to Piper I get like stuck hanging from the ceiling or dangling off the condor!" Aerrow laughed as all the times when that had happened flooded back to him. "You know, you could shut the door next time, that's kinda what they mean when they say 'Get a Room'."
