Hello all of you awesome readers! Welcome back to another chapter, made by ButterHunter, the one and only! I've got nothing new at all to say, so to hell with the intro, let's get right back in!

Chapter 29: When the Wind Blows...

Some time before the last chapter ended…

Cameron POV…

Aira's head was down, having been defeated. She was waiting for the sword to come down on her and end her life.

And I swung down.

She tensed up… but she never felt the blade hit her. A minute passed. Then two. Slowly, she looked up a little to see the sword halfway buried in the ground in front of her. She looked up a little higher to see… me, holding my hand out. "Come on. Stand up." I said softly.

Very, very cautiously, she took it and I hoisted her onto her feet. "Y-you… you spared me…" I heard her say under her breath.

"Yeah, I did. Because I'm not a murderer." I said. "I know when to show mercy, and when to keep swinging. I… I honestly don't think you're a bad person. You just… were misguided I think."

"C-Cameron…" she said softly. I almost forgot that she knew my name.

"But that still doesn't mean I like the fact that you tried to kill me." I said, my voice turning stone cold. She cringed in my gaze, looking like she wanted to disappear. "But… I'll give you a second chance. You'd better not screw it up."

Suddenly, she did disappear. To tackle me in a huge bear hug, catching me off guard. "S-so… you're not gonna k-kill me?"

"Of course not." I said softly. I tentatively hugged her back, trying to work my way around her wings.

"Ohh… but…" Aira said quietly, letting go of me. She looked very worried. "T-that man… the one who wanted me to kill you… he made it clear that I would die if I screwed up. And… I screwed up big time."

She began to freak out a little bit, trying to decide what she would do to stay away from the man who had threatened her.

"Cameron. What the actual hell are you thinking?!" Vivianna asked me. "She tried to kill you, but you're going to spare her?!"

'Well what would you have done? Besides, she said her life was on the line if she didn't. But… now we need to think of a way to help her. I don't want to have to think about what might happen in the future if I don't.' I told Vivianna.

"Urgh… you're too nice for your own good sometimes." Vivianna said quietly.

"Well excuse me for sparing an innocent life!" I said indignantly.

Aira stared at me. "Uh, what? Are… are you talking to yourself?"

'Oh shit.' I thought.

"Y-yeah, sorry, voices in my head arguing again." I said quickly, trying to cover up the mistake. But Aira saw through me.

"Hmm…" she said, looking into my eyes. At least she seemed distracted from her predicament for now. But still, the way she squinted into my eyes… it wasn't right. It felt like she was scanning my entire being through my eyes.

Then suddenly, her eyes widened. "There's… something else there." she said softly. "You… you have a spirit inside your head."

'Fuck.' me and Vivianna both said/thought at the same time.

"Deny her." Vivianna instructed me. I didn't need to be told twice.

I gave Aira a look that said, 'Umm… what?'

"Stop playing dumb. You know it just as well as I do." Aira deadpanned. "How else would you be able to control water like you did?"

"You know what?" I tried. "I think I may have scrambled your brain a little with the water. You should probably rest a little."

Aira only looked at me like, 'Are you done yet?'

"I really don't know what you're…"

Silence.

"I…"

Nothing.

"... uh…"

Her silence made me completely shut up.

"Argh… fine, you caught me." I gave in after two minutes of awkward staring at each other. "Vivianna, we're busted. Say hi to Aira."

Just like that, I couldn't move or feel my face, as Vivianna once again took control over it. My face formed one of deep dislike of this task. "So. You caught me in here." Vivianna's voice spoke from my mouth once again.

Aira looked shocked for the briefest of seconds, before returning to her neutral state. "Yes, I did. You didn't think a spirit could see where another is hiding, even if their not the same type?"

"I almost thought that. The hope was since you are wind and I am water, you wouldn't detect me here." Vivianna said quickly.

Aira nodded. "As did I, until rather recently."

Vivianna gave me back my control. I shook my head a little to shake off the feeling, and then returned my gaze back to Aira. "So, what are you going to do?"

Aira looked crestfallen at that question. "I… I don't know… I've got nowhere to go… nowhere to hide. My home is too far away, and it's barely standing at this point. Ouuu… what do I do…"

Seeing all that made me feel right bad about this girl. Even Vivianna, even if she didn't want to say it, was softening, because when she spoke to me again, her tone was much softer than before.

"You're absolutely sure that you think she's not going to hurt you? And you're willing to help her for no reason other than you feel bad?"

'Of course. Because that's who I am.' I replied.

Then suddenly, Aira got an idea. And it must have been a huge one, because she started mumbling to herself faster than the wind.

"Yes yes YES!" she almost shouted in excitement. "That's it!"

"What, what is?" I asked.

"I know what to do to get away!" she said looking at me with a smile.

"Really? How?"

"Simple!" she said, before getting right in my face. "I'll just join you and that other spirit!"

For a few seconds, me and Vivianna stayed completely silent, as what this girl was proposing slowly dawned on us.

Then came the words.

"Are you crazy?!" I said. "That's…"

"Please! I need to! I… I don't want to die!" Aira pleaded, looking at me with teary eyes.

"I… I already have one voice in my head. I don't need two. I'll help you find some other way. ANY other way. May… maybe we can build you a house in the sky, far away or something. Or, a house hidden in a cave." I tried to reason.

"No no no! It has to be you!" she said. "You're strong. You'll find a good use for my power! You already seem to have decent use of those water powers. Having me in your head… you'll be even stronger!"

"But…" I said.

But then Vivianna spoke to me.

"Cameron… I can't believe I'm about to say this, but… I think she has a point. It's… not easy to be up here all alone. There may be lots of things to look at, but… it can get a little lonely up here. Plus… she's not bluffing about her powers. Look at what you could do with just water! Imagine what you might be able to do with wind as well!"

'Wha… Vivianna! You were just hating the fact that I helped this girl not two minutes ago! Now all the sudden you think that she's right?!' I thought angrily.

"Minds can change about something in an instant Cameron." Vivianna rebutted. "Come on. You want to help the poor girl, right? Then do it."

'Argh… fine.' I thought.

I returned my gaze back to Aira. "Okay… fine. You want to get into my head… fine."

"R-really?!" Aira asked, as if she hadn't dared to believe that her plan would work.

"Yeah. Really. Though I'm not too excited about this…" I replied.

Vivianna sighed in my mind. Clearly she was thinking that I was acting like a whiney little baby. Well… maybe I was, but still, I already had one spirit in my head. Do I really have to let another one in?

Whatever the case, Aira looked at me as if I was the creator Notch himself. She tentatively took my hands with her own, looking up into my eyes. "You… you're sure you'll let me do this?"

I nodded, though a little reluctantly. She smiled softly before letting go of my hands to hug me again. I slowly returned it. I thought about letting her help me. Giving her trust to enter my mind. That's how Vivianna had gotten in, I think.

A soft glow of light formed between us. Very slowly, I felt Aira leave my arms, leaving me hugging only air. After two more seconds, the light faded away, and it was just me standing in the forest.

"Welcome Aira." Vivianna said.

"Woooaaahhh… this place is big…" the voice of Aira said, sounding amazed.

'You'd better not make a mess up there.' I thought. Promptly, I heard something break. 'What did I say?!'

"S-sorry! I just dropped something… this glass ball." Aira said softly.

'There's a glass ball in my head?'

"She joking. She only played a sound effect from your memory banks of something breaking to annoy you." Vivianna reassured. "Well then… I suppose we should get you home now."

'Not yet. First I have to go do something at Blockington. Then we can go home.' I said quickly, pulling out some paper and my pencil.

"Ooh! I can help! Can I help?" Aira asked excitedly.

'Uhh… how?'

"Like this! I think…" Aira replied. Suddenly, my eyes glowed a little. The reflection of the lake showed me that my eyes were now… a light, cream color.

"Aaannd off we go!" she said. Without much else of a warning, suddenly I slowly rose five blocks into the air.

"Woooaaah! H-hey! Put me down!" I yelled, startled. Aira didn't listen. She focused on steadily rising me into the air, Now I was ten blocks from the ground, above most of the trees here.

"Aira! I said put me down!" I called out again.

"But… this would make for a good lesson! A flying lesson!" she said. "Use the winds to carry you to the city!"

"I don't…" I tried to complain.

"Please try Cameron! I've always wanted to show someone how to fly!" Aira pleaded with me.

"I… ugh… alright…" I said rather reluctantly. I guess Aira can be rather hard headed about some things. Just like me, I guess. "So… how does this work?"

"Easy! Just look in the direction you want to go, and imagine wind behind you pushing you that way!" Aira said.

I was still getting used to, oh I don't know, standing up in the middle of the air, but I guess practice makes perfect. So once Vivianna told me which way to go to get to Blockington, I turned that way, like Aira said. Then, I tested the winds, imagining a soft breeze blowing in from behind me.

Five seconds later, the breeze came in, slowly pushing me forward towards the city. 'Huh… this isn't too bad I guess…' I thought.

"See? You got this! Now let the winds rip!" Aira said excitedly. Her tone was playful, full of energy. It was almost contagious.

Almost.

Once I felt ready, I imagined a strong wind behind me, blowing me to the city quickly. The winds bent to my will, increasing force and launching me forward.

"WOOOAAAHH!" I shouted. I wasn't fully prepared. The ground was moving so fast under me…

"There!" Vivianna said in my mind. Sure enough, the walls of the city came into view. Not wanting to waste time, I scanned the city and found a safe place to land in, down one of the many alleyways. No one saw me as I quickly flew over the wall and downward, touching down on the ground safely.

"Whew… that… was…" I said, panting a little. The winds were a fast way to travel, but it felt like I had just been wrestling a cow into a pen it refused to go into. Hard to control, but not impossible. Just took some willpower, and possibly a little luck.

"Wow Cameron, that was awesome!" Aira spoke to me, sounding joyful. "You picked up on it like you'd done that before a million times!"

'I got lucky. Whew… I'm tired…' I thought.

"Mmm… using the wind like that does take a lot out of a person…" Aira agreed. "But if you use it a few more times, you'll get the hang of it quickly. Now, what are we doing back here?"

'I need to see if my sister is back yet. Then I need to make a stop by my old friends shop and give him a note. All goes well, I'll heading back home in a few minutes.' I told her.

Turns out it would been even faster than that. I got to my sister's house, but she still wasn't in yet, so I scribbled her a note about what I had wanted to say, and slid it through her mail slot. And once I got to Zach's shop, Jerry told me that he had stepped out for a while to grab a bite to eat, and wouldn't be back for a least an hour or two.

'Well that's just great.' I thought, quickly making my way out of the city. The guards almost looked at me funny, before they dismissed it as nothing. 'Yeah, I don't think I can just land in the middle to the city anytime I want. I could tell that they hadn't seen me go back in, but then I just waltzed right out.'

"Well whatever. Right now, you need to head back home. The other girls are probably worried sick right now." Vivianna told me.

'Alright… here we go again.' I thought reluctantly. Once again, when I was a safe distance away from the city, the wind picked up, taking me with it. This time I didn't go as fast, but still would be home pretty quickly.

Easily passing over one of the mountains four minutes later, I started feeling a little more in control of the winds. "Heh… this is kinda fun once you get used to it." I said out loud, diving down and pulling back up just as fast.

"Careful there tiger." Vivianna warned me. "The last thing you want to happen is to smack right into a mountain you didn't see."

"Relax Vivianna." I assured her. The house should be pretty close by now. "I'm almost home. There's no mountains this close to home by now. What's the worst that could happen?"

As soon as that thought left my mouth, I looked up and smacked face first into a tree. And let me say, the tree definitely won that fight. I lost control of the winds around me, falling down a few blocks. Thankfully the ground was a soft landing. "Oww…" I moaned out loud, rubbing my head.

"I told you to be careful…" Vivianna reminded me softly.

"Where the hell did that tree come from?" I said, looking up. That tree hadn't been there before, otherwise me and Snowy would have seen it when we left for Blockington.

"Doesn't matter. Can you stand?" Vivianna asked me, concerned.

I tried to stand up, and was met with a headache, as well as a dizzy feeling pretty much everywhere. "Kinda… my head hurts…"

"No duh. You flew right into a tree." Aira commented.

"Oh be quiet. You did nothing to warn me about it." I said angrily.

"Whatever. Come on, let's go already." Aira said, impatient. I tried to concentrate on the winds…

But I couldn't focus. I felt tired, from both the fight and now just running face first into a tree. "No good… I'm exhausted." I said.

"Well that's just great. Alright, get ready to walk. The house is one, maybe two hundred blocks away from here." Vivianna told me.

I nodded, and once again started my trip back home, though at a much slower, safer pace.

Five minutes later, finally the house was in front of me. My legs were shaking from exhaustion, my breath heavy, and a bump had formed on my head by now. I got to the door and pushed it open, my energy leaving me quickly.

"I'm home…" was the last thing I remembered saying before I collapsed to the ground and passed out.

7:00 pm…

Snowy POV…

"Ouuu… Master, what happened to you…"

I said that softly as I sat next to his unconscious form. I was in the sickbay, watching my Master sleep peacefully. I wasn't happy that he had just ran out of the house before, but at least I knew he was safe now.

The door to the sickbay opened, and in stepped my mistress, Susie. She looked at me and said, "Come on Snowy. You're dinner is going to get cold."

"Can I bring it up here? I want to make sure that if Master wakes up, I can tackle him in a hug first." I asked.

"Yes, you may." Susie said, before continuing. "How's the bump on his head looking?"

"Okay, I guess…" I said, looking back at it. The bump was slowly fading away, but it still looked tender. I didn't know where it had come from, but Susie had said it wasn't much to worry about, it would fade by tomorrow, the next day at the latest.

Susie took the only other seat and sat down next to me, wrapping her arm around me as we looked at Master. "What has our Cameron gotten himself into this time?"

"I wish I knew… I don't think I'm gonna sleep well tonight…" I admitted, my ears drooping a little.

"Aww… don't be sad Snowy." Susie said, running her hand through my hair gently. "He'll be back up on his feet before you know it."

"I know… I just… wish I could speak to him. Wish he could hear me." I said softly, looking at his peaceful face.

"Come on. Let's eat dinner." Susie said, standing up, holding her hand out. I took it and followed her to the kitchen, but I stayed there to eat dinner rather than heading back up to Master.

The rest of the day wasn't very eventful, save for Andr coddling me once more. Have I ever mentioned how much I like attention? I really like attention. A lot.

But today, Andr could tell… something was wrong. "Something wrong Snowy? You seem out of it." she asked.

I sighed, before letting go of Andr. "Master." I said softly. "I'm… I'm worried about him."

"Hmm…" Andr said, looking at my sad face. "Don't be upset. He'll be fine, I'm sure of it. He… he looks like he's made of much stronger stuff than most are. After all… his upbringing…"

She trailed off. She didn't need to finish her sentence. We both knew plenty about Master's horrible past life. But… now he never has to reflect on that. Now… since meeting us… he's happy. And when I look into his deep, brown eyes… I can see genuine happiness. Something that, to me, looks like something he never felt for the longest time. How long has it been since he's known me and Susie? Maybe… almost a month now? Maybe more? It already feels like years.

"I… I hope so…" I said softly. Seeing that I was still really sad, Andr pulled me into another hug. But… this one felt like a comfort hug, rather than just a normal one.

"There there… it'll be alright…" she cooed to me.

We stayed there the rest of the day. She continued to rub my back gently, just like Master would, saying over and over, "He'll be fine. You'll see."

It took a lot of effort to get me separated from Andr. Not because she was holding me tightly or anything, but because… I didn't want to leave her warmth.

I slowly wandered upstairs to my room, but not before checking on Master one last time. His face still looked peaceful, like he didn't have a care in the world. I gently touched his arm, before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Master… see you in the morning." I said quietly.

It may have just been my imagination, but I could swear that the corners of his mouth started to curl. Just a little bit.

I left the sickbay and headed to my room. I hadn't slept there in awhile. The bed is still nice and neat from when I made it three days ago. I crawled into the soft sheets, thinking happy thoughts about… me and Master outside playing together, us training by the lakeside, me and Susie taking our turns in kissing him… they all brought a soft smile to my face.

I closed my eyes gently… and then a soft knocking rang on my door. I looked up, and called out softly, "Come in…"

The door creaks open, and there stands Susie, in a nightgown. "Hey Snowy… did you already say your goodnight to Cameron? I'm turning off the lights in there."

"Yes, I did. Goodnight Mistress." I said quietly. She nodded, and left the doorway. I was about to place my head back on the pillow when I realized Susie had left the door open a crack.

I got up and went to close it, when suddenly Susie appeared in the doorway again. "Yes Mistress?" I asked her.

"I…" she started softly. "I was thinking… if you don't think you're going to be able to sleep tonight… you're more than welcome to come downstairs with me…"

I blinked slowly, before asking, "Mistress… are you worried about Master as well? Thinking that you won't be able to sleep well without him?"

A small blush appeared on her cheeks, so I assumed I had hit the nail on the head. "N-no, why would… okay fine, yeah, I'm worried about him. I didn't want to worry you further, so… I tried to act positive for your sake."

For a solid ten seconds, we just looked at each other, not saying anything. Then, I walked over and grabbed her right hand, which was on the door handle.

"Come… come on in. Let's… let's go to bed." I said softly. Susie's eyes widened a little bit, but she soon followed after me.

Together, we snuggled up under the covers of my bed. I felt… a little better, at least. This was familiar. This was nice. Susie… she was warm. And soft.

"Good… good night, Mistress… sweet dreams." I said even softer. She looks a little surprised at my boldness, but she soon got comfy I think.

"Goodnight… Snowy." she said, just as soft. Her arms wrap around me a little tighter, and she closes her eyes gently. Good, now I could let the small blush I was trying to suppress flow freely across my face.

"Uuu… so soft and warm…" I think I mumbled to myself. I'm not sure.

Even so, I felt myself nodding off quickly in this embrace. It… it almost felt like Master was right there, holding me close to him…

Slowly, my eyes closed. Pretty soon, I drifted off to dreamland…

Back to Cameron POV…

"Ugh…"

"Weeeeeee! I love it here!"

My head hurt a little bit. I guess the tree had done quite a bit of damage, though nothing too serious. Hopefully I would be better in the morning.

In any case, when I opened my eyes once again, I found my head was resting on Vivianna's lap. Her hands were fussing with my hair once again, but I didn't really mind. "Hey… what time is it?"

"Can't tell. I know that the other two just went to bed though." Vivianna told me, looking down at me. She was smiling, though… she looked a little tired.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just… I had to teach Aira everything about being up here. I'm a little worn down, but I'll be fine." Vivianna said, helping me sit up.

Then out of nowhere Aira appears, looking at me with a grin. "I love it up here! So nice and roomy…"

When I glared at her, she quickly tried to cover herself up. "I didn't mean that your head is empty! Not at all! Just… there's so much space to roam around here!"

"Yeah, whatever you say…" I said softly, rolling my eyes.

"Sooo… how long are you staying here?" Aira asked me.

I shrugged. "I don't know. As long as the real me is asleep I guess."

"He loves it when he comes here…" Vivianna said, hugging me from behind and pulling me close to her. "Because I treat him well…"

"Don't put ideas in her head!" I hissed quietly. "But… I won't deny that I like coming here."

"See?" Vivianna said to a slightly confused Aira. "Every night he comes here so I can be with him. My favorite time of the day."

Vivianna's grip on me tightened a little bit more, pushing her large wrack into my back. I blushed a little bit at that, which Aira caught. "I see that… look at him blush. Even more than when I teased him."

"Hm hm… he's adorable when he gets all nervous like this…" Vivianna said, her voice right next to my ear. The blush only deeped a little bit more on my face.

"Uh… Vivianna? Can I stand up now?" I asked softly.

"Why? Don't you want to stay in my embrace? I thought you loved it here…" Vivianna said, sounding hurt.

"I-I-I do, it's just…" I started, but Vivianna wasn't done.

"Or… maybe you like it better when I hug you… like this!" she said, turning me around and locking me in the hug again.

"Aww come on Vivi! Now I can't see his blush!" Aira said, trying to break Vivianna's grip on me.

"You can see it after I do this." Vivianna replied, before pulling away to look at my face. Quickly, she pulled me into another kiss. If my face wasn't red before, it was now. But before I could even try to get out of the kiss, I've fully relaxed into it, moaning a little in happiness.

After five seconds she pulls away and gently turns me back around, holding me softly. "There. How's that blush for you?" she asked Aira, who was sporting her own blush of embarrassment.

"Y-you… you just k-kissed him without a care in the world…" Aira said softly, looking at my blissful, burning face.

"Yep. Because that's the way he likes it." Vivianna said softly, squeezing my hand gently.

"She's not wrong…" I said dreamily. Then suddenly, an idea came to my mind. "Though…" I started, getting myself out of my stupor. "There's something I like even more than that."

"Really?" Vivianna asked, confused. "What?"

I flashed her a sly smile, and quickly turned back around and got on her eye level, catching her off guard. "When I'm the one who does the surprises." I said softly, before kissing her gently. Now it was her turn to blush, though it wasn't nearly as deep as mine had been.

I parted from her lips and looked into her eyes after ten more seconds. She could only gaze back, happy that I was trying to get bolder.

And then I remembered Aira.

I turned back around to see Aira blushing furiously, wings fluttering in a nervous way I guess. "Y-you… you two… like each other?!" she asked, amazed.

Vivianna simply giggled a little bit, pulling me closer to her again. "Yep. Is that wrong?" she asked bluntly.

I don't think Aira was expecting the blunt answer, because now she was slowly blinking a little bit, as if Vivianna had slapped her across the face. "I… I don't… I mean…"

Vivianna giggled a little bit more, before patting the ground right in front of me, in a 'come sit' gesture. I glance back at Vivianna, saying with my eyes, 'What are you planning?'

She responds with, 'You'll see soon enough.' I didn't like the look of that…

Aira probably also felt something wasn't right here, because she wasn't moving forward. "Well… come on. We don't bite." I said softly.

Slowly, she walked over to us and sat down in front of me. Vivianna still had her arms wrapped around me, so I could hear her breath on my neck. And… it sounded like she was preparing for something.

Before I could ponder about that more though, Vivianna starts talking to Aira. "So… you like it up here? In this boy's head?" she said, ruffling with my hair once again.

"Well… I will say it's pretty nice. Lot's of room to fly around, bunch of things to look at…" Aira started off.

"Mm hm." Vivianna agreed. "What about Cameron? What's your opinion on him?"

'I'm… I'm right here you know.' I thought to myself. Whether or not she heard me, I didn't know.

"W-well…" Aira started, very concious about me being right there. "I… I guess from what I've seen… you're a good person, strong, caring… forgiving."

"Hm hm!" Vivianna hummed. "So you think he's a nice guy, yes?"

"Umm… yeah?" Aira said, unsure of where this was going.

"I see…" Vivianna said slowly, rubbing her chin a little, all the while keeping her firm hold on me. "Then tell me something…"

Vivianna's tone suddenly changes out of nowhere. Now it's a more… protective tone maybe? That's what I thought it sounded like as she said, "Back at the desert, when you were fighting Cameron… were you really about to kiss him? And be honest."

Aira was taken back by this sudden tone change, as was I. "Ummmm…" Aira started, looking bright red in the face. "I… I… maybe…"

"Come on now. Be honest." Vivianna said again, staring right at Aira.

Aira looked back and forth between my face and Vivianna's. She softly sighed, before looking back up at us. When she spoke, there was barely any hesitation in her voice. "Y-yes… I would've."

Vivianna had a little bit of triumph in her eyes when I glanced back at her. This was getting a bit uncomfortable, talking about all this stuff. But Vivianna looked almost done talking. "I see. Well then…"

Her arms unwrapped themselves around me, her hands resting on my back. "Have fun!" she said quickly.

And then pushed me onto Aira.

"Wha-" I tried to speak before I smacked into Aira, knocking us both over.

"I-I'm sorry! Vivianna pushed me!" I said quickly. She didn't reply, she was still recovering from falling over.

I sat back up and turned around to say something to Vivianna, but when I looked, she wasn't there anymore. She simply had vanished.

"Vi… Vivianna?" I called out, not hearing Aira sit up behind me.

We… we were alone.

Of course, Vivianna was still here somewhere, but… I just couldn't see her right now.

"Did… did she just teleport or something?" Aira asked me a little nervously.

"Maybe. This is the dream world." I replied softly. "What… what did she mean by, 'Have fun'?"

"I…" Aira started, looking embarrassed. I glanced back at her to see that she was still blushing pretty deeply.

Before I could say anything more, Aira disappeared suddenly. Then it was just me. "Wait!" I had called out, but too late. She had already disappeared. "Aira? Vivianna?"

Then suddenly, I heard something directly behind me. I turned around just in time for Aira to gently hug me, her eyes closed tightly.

Before I could even question what the hell was going on, the scenery changed around us. Now we were on top of a mountain, looking out at a fake sunset. Aira's breathing was soft, right next to my ear.

"Wha…" I tried to start with, but she put a hand over my mouth, shushing me.

"Shhh… I… I just wanted to do this while I thank you again Cameron." Aira said softly, hugging me tighter.

I didn't say anything, partly because I was too confused to say anything and partly because she still had her hand over my mouth. When she thought I wouldn't say anything, she removed her hand and kept me in her embrace.

"Air… Aira, what are you…" I tried to start with once she pulled away a few seconds later.

"D-don't talk yet." Aira said, blushing deeply still. "I… I want to say something to you. Since its just me and you."

I opened my mouth to say something, but then I thought better of it and nodded. "Good… you'll listen." Aira sighed.

"Well… I just want to say… thank you for sparing me back there…" she started. "I… I can't say that enough."

I didn't say anything, but I guess she could read my thoughts through my eyes, because she smiled a little. "Hm hm hm… I know that you are confused right now, but… can I just say one more thing? Then I'll let you talk as much as you want."

I slowly nodded, wondering where this was going. If I wasn't so focused on what I wanted to ask her, I would've better registered the fact that she was looking right into my eyes, her arms moving to wrap around my neck and getting onto her knees to look into my eyes.

"C-Cameron…" she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"H-huh?" I asked, only now realizing what she was doing. But before I could react, she pulled me in closer and placed her lips on mine.

As if THAT wasn't already embarrassing enough, suddenly I saw Vivianna reappear right in front of me, smiling at my red face.

Ten seconds passed by before Aira finally pulled away. Her face could not have been any more red at that one moment.

"Hm hm hm…" Vivianna giggled, startling Aira a little. "So… how was it?"

Aira didn't break eye contact with me as she stated quite plainly, "It… it was nice… but… did, you know, you like it Cameron?"

Vivianna sat down next to Aira, also looking right at me. The twin stares made me a bit self-conscious.

"I… w-well…" I started, trying to round up all my thoughts. It wasn't easy, considering that they were staring right at me. "I… I won't deny that I did like it…"

"You did, hmmmmm?" Vivianna said, looking dead into my eyes, with a grin on her face. "You'd say that you'd love to do it again?"

At those words, Aira began trying to cover her face in embarrassment. "A-Aira?" I said softly, patting her on the back softly. She peeked around them to see me, a soft smile starting to play on my lips.

"T-there's… no reason to be embarrassed right now." I continued. Slowly, she removed her hands and gently looked into my eyes. Her arms wrap around me again, as she gets onto her knees.

Then I took over. Slowly, I laced my arms under hers and gently pulled her, and her small, adorably blushing face, to me. She looks startled for half a second before she accepts it, her breathing becoming a bit more deeper.

And then I give in and pull her as close as I could, and kiss her small lips. She stiffens for maybe two seconds before she fully relaxes, desperately trying to pull me even closer than we already are and never let go…

Then another warm object touches me. I knew it was Vivianna hugging both me and Aira once I heard her soft laugh right in my ear. "There… we're one big happy family now, aren't we?"

I would have agreed with her if I still wasn't trying to kiss Aira. Part of me wondered why I was even doing this. I barely knew about the girl. Then again, I had fallen for Vivianna before I knew much about her. Rather, she basically made me fall for her.

When I finally pulled away, five minutes had passed. I was panting a little bit, as was Aira. Vivianna was right there, smiling at us, more so at me than anything.

"Come on you two… let's talk today. Just talk. Get to know you things." Vivianna said softly. Aira looked at me nervously. I realized that I was still holding her tightly.

"Y… yeah. I want to know more about you Aira. So… let's chat." I told her just as softly as Vivianna. After a moment of hesitation, she, with immense dislike, let me go so we could move somewhere else. Guess now she felt a little protective of me.

The rest of the night was just the three of us, sitting down on a comfy bench looking out at the 'sunset'. We talked a lot about random things, like what we had done before we all had met each other.

Vivianna spoke to me in my mind earlier. She had said something about specifically avoiding talking about my past for now. Aira was already looking like a nervous wreck from what had happened before. The last thing I needed was to tell her about my awful past.

We both knew that we would have to tell her sooner or later. But for now, we wanted to keep it to ourselves until she was comfortable.

But for now, all we wanted to do was to just relax...
