Chapter Two: A Grand Start
~Jewel~
I woke up, still nestled in Blu's wings. With a light yawn, I gently tapped him.
"Blu…" I heard him yawn and chuckled.
Must be sleepy today. I'll return the favor.
I gently eased out from under his wings, then looked back to make sure he was still sleeping.
Good, now I have some time to get everything prepared.
I landed on the forest floor, and set about gathering every fruit that we both liked. I also tossed in a couple of passion fruits as well, seeing as those were his favorite. I slowly stretched and yawned, then flew back to the nest.
He's going to wake up any time now... I gently eased back into his wings, and fell asleep again with a smile.
He is going to just about fall head over heels for me with this surprise.
~Blu~
As I felt Jewel slide back into my wings, I woke up.
"Jewel…Jewel, wake up…" I heard her mumble, and decided to gently lay her on the floor. As I walked to the edge of the nest, I heard her yawn.
Wow, she usually isn't this sleepy.
I slowly glided down to the forest floor.
"Whoa!"
I barely avoided shouting, and I heard Jewel cry out in shock.
I woke her up! Oh, this won't be good…
Jewel came down and landed beside me.
"Surprised, Blu?" I just looked at her with a shocked expression.
Did she do all of this…for us?
She laughed at my expression and kissed me, which made me blush for a little bit.
"Jewel…did you really do all of this, just for me?" I saw her laugh, then she sat down.
"Of course I did! You don't think I would let you have to get food this time, would you?" I rubbed the back of my head with my wing, slightly embarrassed.
Another reason to love her even more. She laughed at me, and tossed me a passion fruit.
"Oh, Jewel, how'd you know I liked these?" She chuckled, lightly smacking me.
"I repaid you for getting me my favorites yesterday." I laughed then, slowly pointing at her head feathers.
"Did you check your feathers yet?" I watched her as she found the lily, then she laughed and nearly tackled me.
"Jewel, what…?" She shushed me then kissed me again.
"Blu, you know that I love lilies, this is why I kiss you for it." I laughed and gently rubbed her head, much to her delight.
"Perhaps I should get you some more then." She laughed with a smile on her face.
Seeing her happy is the best thing in the world to me. I started to hum a tune, making a few dance moves.
"Blu, what are you…?" I started to sing, the words very familiar in my mind. It was a simple tune, one that we both loved.
"All the birds of a feather…" At hearing this, Jewel laughed and hugged me.
"Blu, I had no idea you could sing. You have a beautiful voice." When I heard this, I smiled at her.
"Not as beautiful as you are, Jewel," I told her. It was the truth; there was no way I would make something like this up. Jewel blushed and rubbed my head.
"Blu, that's so sweet of you." I smiled and gently picked her up in my wings.
"Let's go dance. I haven't seen Nico or Pedro in a while."
"Sounds like fun. I'll race you there!" With a rush of her wings, she took off.
"Hey, get back here!" I teasingly told her, then took off after her. Like always, she beat me there. "I'm still getting used to flying, I don't see how this is fair." Jewel laughed at me, making me blush.
"Blu, you worry about flying when you can fly." I glanced around, making sure Nico and Pedro weren't outside to see us.
"Jewel…" She looked at me with a smile.
"Yes, Blu?" I kissed her, making sure that she knew how much I loved her. Jewel pulled away first, gasping for breath.
"I love you, too Blu." After our little kissing session, we both went inside and had a blast.
Jewel is going to be so happy with me beside her.
That night, as we flew back home, Jewel surprised me.
"Blu, I have to tell you something." I stopped, almost near our nest, hovering in the air.
"Yes, Jewel?" She came closer, her wingtips brushing against mine.
"Blu…I want to start a family." At hearing this, I nearly fell out of the sky.
Deciding it was best to continue this topic tomorrow, we both landed in our nest and went to sleep. This time, I slept in Jewel's wings.
Well, that's it for chapter two. Review, let me know how I did. More chapters to come!
