I don't own Silverwing or the song I Will Come To You by Hanson. I want to see if I can write a song/fanfic that Ii have seen around here. This time I want to expand on Chinook's feelings toward Shade. Kind of short, please tell me how to do better since I just started this!

Chinook and Shade were back at Statue Haven that day. They had a surprisingly safe journey even with Shade and Chinook slowing them down by their injuries; the forest was still in chaos from the explosion of the pyramid. The plan was to rest until midnight, then after two hours of hunting start their long journey back north. Chinook could not fall asleep, not after what happened.

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

He and Shade had to sleep on the ground because of their injuries. The smaller bat fell asleep next to Chinook almost instantly, but Chinook stayed awake, thinking about what had happened earlier. Shade told him that he loved him, something that the bigger bat felt for Shade for a long while. It was hard not to love him. Shade was the only thing that made sense in his life.

When the night is dark and stormy
You wont have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

Chinook turned to stare at the sleeping bat, watching his chest slowly rise and fall with each breath. Shade was always there for him. When the humans took shade and sewed the explosive disk into Chinook, it was the first time he felt truly scared in his life. When Shade came to save him, it was the first time he felt truly grateful for the small bat in his life.

Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you dont know how or why, but youve lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin
I will hear your spirit callin
And I swear Ill be there come what may

Tears came to his eyes, remembering what happened when they got dumped in the jungle. Shade saved his life, preventing him from colliding to the human building and setting off the disk. Then his whole world crashed when he learned his parents were with those bats who didn't make it. Shade was there for him again. When Chinook's world was filled with fear and confusion, Shade remained the only thing that kept him stable.

cause even if we cant be together
Well be friends now and forever
And I swear that Ill be there come what may

More tears came, and Chinook let them fall. He was captured by the cannibal bats, and again Chinook felt weak and scared. Shade was there again, and again for him. Shade saved him from death so many times, what Chinook felt for Shade was not gratitude. It was more than that. Chinook would be there for Shade. He had to.

So if you feel that your soul is dyin
And you need the strength to keep tryin
Ill reach out and take your hand

Chinook crawled next to Shade, and slowly as to not wake the smaller bat up, he wrapped a wing around him and pushed his nose gently into Shade's neck. He would try to protect this bat, this bat he loved, this bat who was always there for him. No, he would not try to protect him. He would protect him. Chinook let more tears fall, and felt truly happy, knowing that he was safe there with Shade, and knowing that Shade would be safe with him.

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
