story two: Is It Admiration or... Something Else?





It was late at nigt-that much I know. the rain had been late this year and food was becomming scarce... that's why I was still awake- hunger can do that to a bird. I had the feeling again, the same feeling I always get whenever Ax needs me. So i flew to him. The moon was full and really bright, so I knew where to find him. Near the pond, our pond, where we go every full moon. Sometimes Ax will see me when I come to chat with him. Other times I'll just pick a branch and watch the graceful creature that is an andalite pace the water's edge or just sit, bathed in the moon light.

Ax is my uncle yes, but also my best friend, maybe even something closer than that. Usually on full moons we just sit there and watch the pond, thinking our thoughts and sometimes talking. I've always felt a certain way towards Ax... At first I thought it was just because he's my uncle, but then I realized that I want to be with him- forget Rachel, forget girls, forget humans! There was just something about him. I've wanted to kiss him, to do more than kiss, but he's an alien, and I'm a human. And, besides, we're family- in some weird way that makes my little bird head spin whenever I try to fathom it.

I swerve out of the way of a tree; my thoughts of him are making me lose my concentration! But I can't go long without thinking of him. Ax. Whenever we sit near our pond we morph to humans. Maybe he thinks I'm lonely for human companionship, that's why he morphs, maybe not. Tonight's the night; I think to myself, I'm going to tell him how I feel. Maybe he'll feel the same way! Maybe. Maybe not- but I can't live with just watching him. Whatever is left of my humanity is burning inside my heart, calling for a companion.

I've reached our meadow, where the pond is. Ax is sitting there, in andalite form, his male beauty contrasted by the old and molding log on his left. Earth has really changed him, I think, looking over him. The moon is glistening off his smooth, almost fluffy fur. He now has more muscles in his arms, and he's grown! He looks more like Elfangor now (my father- his older brother); his shoulders slightly slumped, his stalk eyes gracefully scanning the sky, while his main eyes are scanning the pond. I swoop down low over the pond, making my shadow flow underneath me, and land onto a low branch of a tree right next to him. the branch dips slightly with the added weight and he looks up in surprise and he sees me.

Ax, god, his face has changed slightly too. He has more expression now, and looks more, well, human. I begin to morph to human, and he does too. He finishes before me and sits, waiting for me to finish. I jump down, not wanting to keep him waiting. My thoughts still ringing in my head, being brutally brushed to the back. Ussually I would sit on the springy grass but tonite i change my mind and test the old log with my weight. It holds and I get comfy.

He's beside me still, sitting indian style (I think Marco taught him, but it could have been Cassie) with blondish hair moving slightly in a light breeze. I was enjoying the view and companionable silence but then that little voice began to nag at me again. He's so beautiful, so innocent, how can you not want to hold him, protect him? And yet, he has so much strength- you love and admire the man... I shook my head slightly, Ax didn't notice, he had gone back to staring at the stars again... I've never had a family really, it' must be hard for you to live so far away from the things and people you have grown up with. Then i tried to imagine Ax as a child and all I got was a comical child sized andalite, practicing fighting with a similar sized tree and a younger Elfangor standing behind him, teaching him- and americanized image of an andalite little and big brother moment, without the cherry pie and american flag waving in the background.

A groan escaped my lips as I gazed up into the nite sky, earning me a look from the star of my affection. I smiled at him and said, "I hate flying in the dark, my hawk eyes are crap with all the shadows", I murmured. He tilted his head up to look at the stars again, then looked back at me, this time with a lopsided grin splayed across his face- I don't think he even knew he was smiling like that, but it was very cute. "Well maybe you should stay close to my scoop so you won't have to fly so far ...fa-a-ar ... ar..." He said, playing with the sounds and his grin turning into a full smile- even after this many years, I guess the boy still can't get used to a mouth and it's sqwaking noises. I gave him a laugh and said,"Yea, I could move in with you; our own joint bachelor pad. I promise I'll have the parakeets out by 2 a.m. But why don't you move your scoop closer to my tree?" He gave me an extravagent sigh, which made me have to bite back another laugh, and said," Tobias, it is-it's much harder for me to move-eve all of my things than for you to just switch trees-ees." Human mouths can be fun for an andalite- the best toy you can give 'em! they'll play with it for hours on end...

"You know when you make those sounds you drive me nuts!" I said, beaming down at him. "It is fun-un to make these sounds with my mouth!" He said, giving me a see-through straight face, then he simply smiled up at me as a few bothersome strands nearly poked me in the eye. damn hair, I thought, until I saw his eyes twinkle and a jolt of excitement ran thru my body, causing me to throw all caution to the wind/

I smirked at my uncle then said, rather cassually but with a hint of seriousness,-very coy-"I know other things we can do with our newly acquired mouths." Did I just say that?! my brain was going into panic, but, somehow, the rest of my body moved with a sort of disattachment and I leaned in and kissed him, my lips gently brushing against his. A sharp intake of breath told me that I had his full attention now and made me braver, and i dove in deeper to his warmth. A chill ran up my human spine and we felt so right that i couldn't even process the what I was doing- just enjoy the moment, the feel of Ax's lips against mine. And it wasn't bad, not at all. In fact, it made me think of other things that our now human bodies could do together... yes, many other things. I smiled into the kiss and felt Ax pull me closer into him, down onto the moist earth, and then there was no more thinking- only doing...
