Chapter 7: Confessions


It was late afternoon. Paul had just finished teaching Blu how to preen himself. "..and make sure you only pluck the bad feathers out. So... yeah. That's it for today, I'm tired now. So you can go home and uh... have some fun with Jewel." he teased Blu.

Before Blu left, he wanted to ask Paul about something. "Hey, Paul?"

Paul turned around to face Blu. "What?"

"You know that crow?"

"Who? Alex? He gives you the shivers when he's around you, doesn't he? Well, I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. He's a nice guy when you get to know him." Paul laughed.

"Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow," Blu said as he took off. Paul turned away waved his wing once, which was what he usually did to bid someone farewell. Before flying back to Linda's room, Blu picked an orchid flower for Jewel.

...

When Blu reached Linda's room, Jewel using Linda's iPhone, playing games on it.. Blu knocked on the window with his beak. Jewel turned around and saw him. She climbed up onto the window, unlocked it, and helped Blu pry it open.

"So, how was your day?" She asked him.

"It was fine. I met someone who helped me out. His name was Paul." Blu told her as he closed the window.

"Glad to hear that," Jewel replied.

"Oh, and uh... I got this for you." Blu blushed as he handed the flower to Jewel.

Jewel blushed as well as she took it from him. "Thanks. It's beautiful."

Blu cleared his throat nervously. "So... uh... how about you? What did you do after your check-up?"

"Well, Linda went to work on Tulio's project, so she sent me back here. I talked to some of your friends for a bit, and practiced typing."

"And played with Linda's iPhone," Blu continued her sentence.

Jewel giggled. "Yeah. And that."

"That's ok, I play games on it too," Blu admitted.

"Really? Could you help me with this level on Angry Birds? I can't find a way to finish it."

"Sure." Blu carried Jewel and flew over to the table where the iPhone was at.

The two macaws sat down and enjoyed each other's company while playing with the iPhone.

...

When it got late, Blu and Jewel decided that it was time for them to eat dinner, but Linda had not come back yet. "I have an idea," Blu said. "I could go pick some fruits for us."

Jewel smiled. "That sounds good, I'll wait here."

When Blu got back, he had a mango in his claws. "Here, you can have this mango," he said. "I can't carry much while flying, so that's all I managed to bring back."

Jewel cut the mango in half. "That's ok. We can share this." She handed one half of the the mango to Blu. "Thanks," Blu said as he dug his beak into the flesh of the fruit.

...

When it got late, the two birds decided to call it a night. Blu went back to the couch and was about to lie down when Jewel stopped him.

"Blu, can I talk to you for a bit?"

Blu turned to face Jewel. "Yeah, sure. What do you need?"

Jewel blushed a bit. She had spoken to Blu's friends on Skype earlier that day, and they had all given her advice to tell him how she felt about him. Although Jewel was hoping that Blu would confess to her first, she couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to let Blu know that she loved him, but was a little unsure herself.

"Well, I just wanted to know... Why are you helping me? I mean, you could be spending time with Linda instead of me, but you choose to be with me instead. I just want to know why." She wanted to be sure that Blu loved her back first.

Blu's eyes widened. He turned away a bit. "Well... um... uh... you see, I..." he stammered nervously. "I... I'm helping you... because..." he took a deep breath and gulped. "I... I have feelings for you, Jewel... I... really do." He blushed madly looked down at the ground.

Jewel blushed harder. "Blu? Could you turn and face me for a second?"

Blu's heart skipped a beat. He was expecting a tight slap across the face once he turned to face Jewel, and slowly and cautiously turned his head. "Look, Jewel... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean to... I mean, I know you don't like me, but I..." Jewel didn't let him finish. She wrapped her wings around Blu and pulled him in for a kiss. This caught Blu by surprise, but he slowly closed his eyes and kissed back.

When they pulled away to catch their breath, Jewel nuzzled Blu's beak. "I don't like you, Blu. I love you." Blu's eyes widened for the second time. This was the first time someone had told him that. What is this feeling? I feel so... calm... so... happy... Blu thought as he looked into Jewel's eyes. He had never felt this way about anyone else besides Jewel.

Jewel cleared her throat, as if she was expecting Blu to do something. Blu immediately realized. "I uh... I love you too..." he said dreamily.

Jewel smiled at him lovingly and pulled him into another passionate kiss. Although this was a good time for her to mate with him, she controlled her lust for Blu and decided that she'd do it with him in the forest. She slid her tongue into Blu's beak and moved it around with his. Blu leaned back in pleasure of the kiss and put his wings around her. Jewel was now on top of Blu, kissing him while supporting herself up with her wings.

When they finally broke for air, Jewel rolled over and rested her head next to Blu's. Blu was staring at her affectionately. "I love you," Jewel said again. "I love you more," Blu said as he snuggled closer to Jewel. They nuzzled beaks again, and cuddled together for the night.
