Aladdin sighed as Judal spoke of food. He wanted answers, more than just what Judal had said. He wanted to know who En was and who Kouha was. What made him any different from them? Would he meet these two later? Where they at the island waiting for them? What did they look like?

He looked over at the other as Judal began to get up. The older boy stared right back at him after a minute, waiting.

"Aren't you hungry?"

His stomach seemed to answer that question, rumbling loudly in response before Aladdin began to get up himself and fix his shorts a bit. "Where are we going to eat? Is there a place nearby?"

"No, there really isn't much point in going somewhere else to eat with just a while to wait. I was just going to have us get something at the vending machines and watch some more planes before heading to the gate and waiting there."

"I see." He shuffled in place a bit, uncomfortable in his pants. If only they would stop suddenly being so small. It was like Judal messed with all the normal things around him all the time. He was doing strange things and thinking strange things and nothing was working for him. Those red eyes just seemed to be so gleeful about it all too. It was like he got a kick out of the reactions that he made in him.

There was something else though, even as Judal wordlessly pulled him from the bathroom. Even as they were moving along the main room of the building and heading towards the vending machines, he seemed to be less tense, his face less angry looking. There wasn't any bit of the slightly narrowed look to his eyes. They were so much more calm looking.

Maybe it was just a trick of the light. Maybe he was just imagining it, but Judal seemed happier.

Judal looked over at him and raised a brow. "What's that look about?"

"I was thinking."

"No, I thought you were just staring," he countered coolly. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's not important."

Judal slipped some yen into the vending machine as they reached it before turning to him and grinning darkly. "It wouldn't be something dirty, would it? Imagining sticking something up my butt? Tossing food on my chest? Or," he grinned more, smacking one of the buttons on the machine. "Are you thinking of something more like taking my cock into your mouth and sucking on it until I cum?"

Aladdin's face grew bright red, especially as a cough told them that they were not the only ones at the vending machines right now. The woman nearby covered her son's ears and stormed away, muttering about filthy mouthed children as she went. Aladdin moved behind Judal, listening to him laugh as he began to wonder if there was a private room he could just hide in for the time being. He didn't want to be around others with Judal.

"What's the matter, Chibi? Aren't you still hungry?"

"Can we hurry and hide away somewhere?"

"Hide away?" Judal leaned closer and purred into his ear, "So it was a dirty thought crossing your mind, wasn't it? What a little pervert you are, brat. Should I be wondering whether I will be able to walk when we board the plane?"

Aladdin smacked at him, turning to the machine in a huff. "I was not thinking of anything like that. I was just thinking you seem happier."

Judal shrugged and pulled his soda from the machine, uncapping it a moment before beginning to drink. "That's nowhere near as fun as what I had imagined you were thinking."

"Well, that was what I was thinking about."

"It isn't now though, is it?"

Aladdin ignored that smug voice, that arrogant jerk embarrassing him and saying dirty things in the airport around others. He pressed a button and grabbed his water and began to walk away.

"Hey, hey, we're travelling together." Judal hurried after him and wrapped an arm around his waist. "Don't go wandering off all by yourself. You could be kidnapped." He pulled the boy a bit closer and walked them towards a quiet corner window seat. "Then I would have to kill someone."

"You wouldn't kill someone." Aladdin looked up at him, sipping at his water. He was being very overly dramatic about that. "Besides," he said as he put the water down on the bench next to him. "I wouldn't be kidnapped. It took me long enough to be adopted. I don't think anyone would take me."

Judal laughed a bit as he leaned back. "You're a fool if you believe that."

Aladdin shook his head, looking out the window again. "I know it's true though. The night my adopted parents split, I heard my adopted mother tell Ugo that she didn't want me to begin with. She was happy with just him and I was just in the way."

"It could have been worse Chibi." Judal scratched at his head a bit as he looked around.

"What could possibly be worse than have someone tell you that you were never loved by them?" Aladdin clenched his fists. "It feels like your heart gets ripped out. It's so painful." He looked down. "I don't ever want to feel like that again. I'm just happy that Ugo and everyone else were there for me."

"It could have been worse," Judal reiterated. "You could have had your parents killed around you and been taken in by the people that killed them."

He froze, eyes widening as he looked over at Judal. "Did that happen to you?"

The other remained silent; taking an occasional sip of his drink. He watched a plane take off in between, turning when someone fell by security check.

Aladdin watched him a moment before scooting a bit closer, inching his way across the bench. His movement stopped as the other looked over at him. Judal's gaze glued on him as Aladdin tried to feign attention on the planes outside. It was only when he went back to watching security that he began to move again, scooting once more before leaning hesitantly against the other.

"Chibi, do I look like a pillow?"

"No, you look like a Judal." Aladdin replied, nuzzling against him.

"Brat, you have five seconds to get off me."

His arms wrapped around him, "you got to say dirty things earlier, I'm going to nap. Wake me up if there is food around."

"Spoiled brat. I'm going to leave you here." Judal's words didn't match his actions though, his arm wrapping around him as Judal pulled him closer. His hand rubbed Aladdin's back as they waited. Aladdin was comfortable again just being there. Ja'far was right. He would just make sure that he could keep the other happy and he wouldn't worry about them for a while. He would be sure to take pictures later. Maybe get some pictures of the whales and everything. Judal had a camera. Maybe he could get the other to let him see it so he could take some pictures. He wanted to take more of the other boy for once.

Judal had taken so many pictures of him already. It didn't feel fair that he couldn't take any back. When they reached the island, he wanted to take a lot of pictures. He could already imagine it. They would lay around on the beaches and Judal would be so surprised when the others came and joined them. Ugo is really nice though, so Judal would just talk to him a moment before they all got along.

Maybe Ugo could figure out why Judal was going through all this trouble.

Then again…

Judal had said that bit about his parents. Could it be because of who he lived with that he was doing this? Did he think that all orphans were orphans for the same reason or something? That would explain everything really well. He was worried about him though. It must have been hard to grow up in such a kind of life. That would explain a lot about him.

Aladdin thought harder before he felt his face connect with the floor. Wincing, he sat up. "Judal!"

"I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not." Judal grinned a bit as he laid down on the bench. "There can only be one, Chibi, unless you want to sleep on top of me." He winked seductively before he began to shut his eyes and relax.

Aladdin pouted before he heard the intercom warn of planes in the area. Judal sat up and frowned, "I thought they said two hours?" He pulled his tickets out and shook his head, standing up quickly and grabbing Aladdin's hand. "Come on, Chibi."

"Hold on," Aladdin grabbed his things and took the older boy's hand, following him quickly to security. They went passed it quickly before Judal was directing him towards the gate, trying to put his shoes back on in a rush as Aladdin just held his. Why they wanted him to take off his shoes in security…

But they were at the gate, handing their tickets to the lady by the doorway and walking through the door and into a hallway. They were greeted and ushered to the back of the plane with a few other people. Judal motioned him into the window seat before sitting down next to him. His arm was around him after a moment.

Aladdin looked around a moment, still thinking about what Judal had said earlier. He couldn't decide. Maybe it was better to have no parents or a parent that didn't care at all than two that did care but died and left you alone with people that were bad. His gaze flickered to the other people on the plane a moment as he thought.

Judal must have been so lonely. It would be like you couldn't trust anyone in that kind of life. It would just be him and a big world filled with untrustable people. Aladdin leaned over the arm of his seat and pressed his lips to the other's cheek a moment before sitting back in his seat right and looking out the window.

His face burned as he felt the other lean over and whisper to him quietly, the hand on the armrest next to him moved, sliding down to boy's crotch and giving it a quick squeeze before watching the other passengers board the plane.

"That was mean," he whined quietly towards the other. He felt uncomfortable again. Judal didn't seem to mind though, leaning back and grinning a bit as he settled in for the flight.

It wouldn't be for another couple hours that they would eventually move again from their seats. Aladdin's mind filled with embarrassing things as Judal focused in on directing them out of the plane and towards the exit of the big airport of Iejima Airport.

"Are we there?"

"We've got one more plane ride, Chibi."

Aladdin moaned into his shoulder, at least grateful that Judal gave him something to eat before they boarded another flight and flew to another airport. He didn't look at the name. He was so tired by the planes and sitting around in them. He just clung to Judal and let him lead them along.
