Once again, I don't own Storm Hawks.
Aerrow lay there, now bandaged, breathing quietly. Piper had been checking up on him regularly, making sure he was okay. Although, he would be okay, Piper felt she wouldn't if she didn't know how he was doing.
Piper popped her head in for the 6th time, and was surprised to see Aerrow up, looking at himself in the mirror, as if examining himself.
"How are you feeling?" She said, slowly stepping into his room.
"Well, I've been better." He turned his head to smile at her. "Thanks for patching me up."
She looked down. "Well...we couldn't just leave you there. Someone had to fix you up. " She smiled to herself. As she looked up, she realized Aerrow was still staring at her. She started to feel woozy again, but mentally forced herself to calm down.
"I've been wanting to tell you something...I was going to tell you earlier...but.." He faltered. Piper held her breath. She had a feeling she knew what was coming, but she didn't want to get her hopes up. She had to admit though, it was quite a sight to see Aerrow struggling to think.
"Well...I mean...we're really good friends, right?" He waited for her to make some sort of gesture. She nodded, and he took that que to continue. "And...well...I-I kind of-" He was stopped when Piper wrapped her arms around him. She felt things like this were better left to actions, not words. She could still feel Aerrow's eyes on her, and she lifted her head. She smirked as she heard Aerrow's breath stop, as they both realized how close their faces were. She could see those eyes start to close, and she felt herself lean, as if her body was on autopilot.
The kiss was quick, tender. But it was all she needed. She sighed happily as her thoughts once again started to organize themselves. She smiled as she looked up at him again, and this time, she allowed herself to get lost in those eyes. He smiled back, seemingly content with how things had played out.
"Thank you." She whispered.
"For what?"
She didn't answer.
Yeahhhhh like I said, not the best story ever. xD
