"Why are we here again?" Gazzy grumbled as his eyes slowly dropped.
"To…spend time together" Iggy said threw clenched teeth
"You know this is absolutely ridicules we see ach other enough!" Star grumbled "we live in the same neighbourhood for Christ sake."
"Oh god...I agree with Star what has the world come to?" Ratchet growled, earning a piercing glare from Star.
"It will be fun," Dylan said trying to smooth the tension.
After the Gang and the Flock fought together they found many more similarities then differences and soon become accustomed to each other…even to the extent that some people may call love.
It had been only a week ago that Maya and Fang had come up with the idea of going on an outing (which I thought would turn out like this) with the whole…Flock Gang? Gang Flock? We hadn't come up a name for the lot of us yet. maybe something like Weird-freaks-with-special-abilities-club? Or something easier on the tongue.
"I think it's a great idea!" Nudge proclaimed excitedly,
"Of course you do Nudge, you love anything that will give you the excuse to play dress up" Holden laughed
"You make it sound like I'm five!" she grumbled her face turning red.
"Aren't you?" Ratchet asked, Nudge gasped angrily glaring over at Ratchet who luckily stood meters away. Star quickly snapped her fist forwards and the speed of lightening hitting Ratchet in the shoulder.
"Thank you Star," Nudge said grinning again
"With pleasure," Replied Star as enthusiastic.
"Maya did you just see that!" Ratchet yelled
"Yes I did" Maya said with a worried tone, or let me clarify MY worried tone. It still was weird at times hearing my voice coming from a different person. Though since the war there were large difference between Maya and me. She had a pixie cut and a large scar ran across her bridge of her nose after a life threatening fight in the war. In which Fang had told her he loved her, and very politely kissed her in front of all of us, including moi at the stage of a still some what Fang driven heart. Something that I wouldn't soon forget.
"…nice punch," Maya added, this did make the rest of us laugh, at a sour face of Ratchet.
I looked back at the scenery to find that we were still in the mountain infested wilderness with only a few tents and many large bins of food which were still being unpacked. This could be a horrible mistake.
I suddenly felt a warm hand travel the length of my arm and then fingers intertwine with my own. I looked up lovingly to see Dylan's own eyes studying me.
"You okay?" he mouthed, I nodded leaning onto his side as I watched Gazzy, Ratchet, Holden and Iggy fumbling to put up there tent while Star, Nudge's, Kate and Angels tent was up in a second due to Kate's strength and Star's speed. This is when a sudden thought blew up in my mind
"Where are you two sleeping?" I asked Maya and Fang, I was greeted by a large blush on Maya's face. I watched as Fang grabbed a pole slowly standing up, his hair was practically chopped. I was able to see both eyes and he jaw line clearly, something that had also changed about him.
"We are…" Fang began
"They are sleeping in their own tent…alone" Iggy winked, my eyes winded.
"Oh!" I said suddenly a slow stream of red crowding my cheeks. "Is there more things to unpack?" I quickly turned around grabbing a box of food.
I scrabbled around the campsite avoiding any eye contact with either Maya or Fang as chatter began again in the group. I quickly felt a body behind my and felt a warm breath on my neck that sent Goosebumps along my back and a pinch in my stomach.
"Do you know how adorable you are?" A soft murmur came.
"Me, Adorable?" I squeaked turning around again finding Dylan looking down.
If there was one change it me it was surly him. He did things to me that I couldn't have dreamed. My legs turning to jelly, my own self control lowering its guards. I even let him see my vulnerable sides, something that no one had ever accomplished.
"Yes," he whispered "and you are doing it again" his arms wrapped around my waist, I put my arms onto his shoulders as I watched his calculating glance.
"Doing what?"
"Blushing" he sighed, skimming a finger along my cheek.
"It's cold"
"It's summer"
"Oh shut up," I muttered. He grinned leaving his mouth close but muttering still, which came out as a cave man grumble. I lightly slapped his shoulder, which lead to him opening his mouth again
"Hate to burst your bubble Max, but they do live in the same house."
"I know" I sighed. He stuck his finger out till it was close to my stomach
"Pop," he said, I looked up at him quizzical
"Huh?"
"I burst your bubble." with this I slowly rolled my eyes pulling away from Dylan's embrace. But this only made him tighten it,
"Not done" he said with a goofy grin, I sighed looking back up.
"Yes?"
"Well…" he said looking behind his back seeing that everyone was still distracted he continued "I brought…and extra tent just in case that tent with the girls was too crowded." I stared at him for a few short seconds
"Would you be in the tent?" I asked
"Would you like me to be in the tent?" I bit my lower lip before slowly nodding.
"Then yes I would be there" he grinned kissing the top of my head. My heart jumped out of my chest
"I better go help the boys, they look like there are never going to figure out how to get the tent up" he smiled taking a step back, I quickly pulled him back
"Not done," I grinned, standing up onto my tip toes and placing a soft whisper of a kiss onto Dylan's lips. With that I let my arms free. Dylan sent one last dazzling smile my way before turning and beginning to help the boys.
I let out a small sigh before going out to help setting up of the campsite…
The fire danced and moved along the night sky as the whole…pack? Would that be acceptable...no. that would make us sound like some weird wolf hybrids. Maybe The
Community? No…still not right. Anyways, the Flock and Gang sat around the fire a small bitter conversation currently rattling both the cages of Star and Ratchet's. I sighed at the familiarity of this fight, as it happed frequently.
"How long do you think it's going to take?" Dylan whispered in my ear, his arm was wrapped around my waist, as we sat on a log. "I'm betting in the next twenty four hours, at the rate they are going."
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Star and Ratchet of course" he said, smiling "how long do you think it will take for them to realize that they actually have feelings for each other" he clarified.
"Ratchet and Star?" I asked a confused glanceing at both of them.
"Well yes, did you not know?"
"No, not really" just then I tuned into the conversation again
"…and this concludes that…yes Star you are wrong" Ratchet said proudly.
Fang had his hands on his face as he let an exasperated sigh,
"Please for my mental health can you two just stop bickering like an old couple?" Fang grumbled. This made both Ratchet and Star blush slightly and Iggy laugh.
"Yeah, how long have you two been married again?" Holden teased.
"Shut up" Ratchet and Star both muttered at the same time which made the rest of us laugh leaving them both with deeper frowns. It didn't help that both of them had "accidentally" choose to sit beside each other either.
"You guys are blushing more then when Nudge got to talk to Justine Timberlake." Holden continued, Nudge eyes looked around with worry as she bit he lip looking at her hands.
"Don't tease her." Maya said grimacing a knowing look towards Nudge. A pit of jealously suddenly beginning to spin in my stomach, did she know something about Nudge that I didn't? Why would Nudge tell her anything more then me?
"Dylan, will you sing for us?" Kate said taking the conversation away from its current whereabouts. Dylan grimaced,
"I don't know,"
"Awh, come on Dylan!" Gazzy proclaimed.
"You should sing Gazzy." I said, grinning. At this I was greeted with an overwhelming groan from the crowed
"Please don't put us threw that again" Kate grumbled poking at the fire with a stick.
"You don't like my singing?" Gazzy said hurt now standing on the long. He cleared his throat before belting out the lyrics
"We're no strangers to love!" he started his voice cracking on a high pitch which made Fang and Iggy laugh.
"Our boy is going threw puberty" Iggy laughed, Gazzy ignored him.
"You know the rules and so do I! A full commitment's what I'm thinking of!
You wouldn't get this from any other guy! I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling!
Gotta make you understand!" now many were laughing.
Ratchet stood up now
"Never gonna give up! Never gonna let you down!" and soon the group was in a frenzy of laughter and song.
After the song many were still laughing and repeating lines. Maya lent over to Fang before whispering something into his ear that made Fangs face turn into a large grin
"Well, I'm getting pretty tired guys. Maya and I will see you in the morning." Fang said walking back towards the tent Maya's hand held in his.
Iggy let out a chain of sinkers as both Fang and Maya retreated to their tent. I looked up to find Star and Ratchet in a low discussion of whispers. Nudge had stood up and was now flattening down her new denim skirt, something that I would have thought not necessarily camping wear.
I looked pass her toward the glistening lake that had small waves crashing upon the shore.
"I think I'll go for a swim," Nudge said he voice stronger then before in the day.
"A swim?" Gazzy asked "it's like eleven at night."
"I know," she said matter-oh-factly,
"Won't it be cold?" Dylan asked curiously.
"I have warm blood." She said before walking towards the lake,
"What about your bathing suit!" Holden shouted after her. This made Nudge turn around with a coy grin on her face.
"Now I don't want to get my suit wet before tomorrow." She smirked, my body tensed up, what was she implying? Even if Nudge was sixteen I didn't like where this conversation was leading.
"What will you use?" Holden choked out in a whisper, but Nudge easily heard with her hawk earshot.
"Damn, you right, well I suppose I could always use my birthday suit?" she said before turning around and swaying her hips with a little more empathise. What the hell just happened?
Holden had his mouth and eyes wide open, as if seeing that Nudge wasn't twelve for the first time. I felt Dylan elbow me lightly, I looked up to see him nod in a different direction, when I did I saw something that I wouldn't have thought in a hundred years.
Gazzy had a stunned expression on as well but his eyes looked almost glazed over as his whole body leaned forward. How had it passed my glance that Gazzy had any feelings towards Nudge.
"I'm going to bed!" Holden shouted before running over to his tent
"And there he goes… sneaking around the tent and… awh yes going towards the lake," Dylan whispered only to me. Slight irritation was begging to bubble onto my skin, My Nudge! He was going out to swim with Nudge who before now I thought still as a little girl.
"What the hell is this? Are we just surrounded but hormonal teenagers?" I whispered / yelled to Dylan which to my disapproval everyone else heard. Iggy laughed nodding
"That's what happens after we defend the world. We get free time, and where else better to spend free time then hammering out some of that sexual tension." Iggy said, laughing.
I let out a small growl before grinding my teeth, fighting back the urge to run after the two in a mother like craze. I mean I saw Nudge threw out her stages and this one was defiantly new.
I looked over to Gazzy to find him with a sunken look, his head hung down. I grimaced looking at the fire which was now slowly dieing down to a small flicker. I felt Dylan slowly lean down to my ear.
"Are you tired?" he asked quietly, I slowly nodded before I stood up beside Dylan
"We are going to bed," I said quickly before turning my back.
"And then there was five," I heard Iggy say "I'm betting that Star and Ratchet leave next together"
This earned him a grumble and vast amount of colourful words from both Star and Ratchet.
When we reached the tent I felt a surge of nerves coarse threw out my spine, what was Dylan expecting from this night? What was I expecting from it?
"Home sweet home," Dylan chuckled zipping the tent behind him. I looked around to find that there was two sleeping bags on the ground. I let out a small sigh looking back to Dylan and grinned
"Looks great," I said.
"I don't know about that, it doesn't look nearly as wonderful as the girl standing in front of me."
"I'm eighteen don't they start counting that age as a woman?" I asked with a grin
"I'm not sure; do you want to be called a woman?"
"No" I laughed
"Well then" he snickered wrapping his arms around my waste. He bent down giving a small short kiss before pulling away
"Shall we?" he said gesturing towards the separate sleeping bags.
"Not done" I laughed before letting my night unfold in a most spectacular night of my life, spending it with the person I loved with every fibber of my being.
I'm thinking that i defiantly more ten three reviews to write another, just because i need to know if people are actually reading or if i am just randomly putting out chapters. Also i want to know what you guys think! I like knowing what i did write or what i should work on :3 xD I absolutely hate it when authors do this...I'm becoming my worst enemy. D:
