by TSLOPfan

Ozone and Tiberius are known to not get along well. They hate each other's guts with a fierce passion.

And is there even the slightest possibility that they might become something more? We'll see. - First ever Ozone x Tiberius fanfic.

33. Thirty Two

Blinking his green eyes open, Ozone groaned quietly. "My head… that's probably a fractured skull…" he murmured. His vision was blurred out at first but it soon cleared up. That's when he saw that he was on top of Tiberius in a bush that had luckily cushioned their fall. His small pink paws were resting on the hawk's feathery chest and their faces were just centimeters apart. Ozone didn't even want to look back and see what he was sitting on. Gulping, he mumbled, "Uh… hi?"

"Do you mind?" Tiberius growled, trying to breathe. Despite the fact he looked like a pink walking stick, Ozone still had some heft to him and it was all sitting on his stomach. The hairless cat seemed to understand as he nodded his head. He tried to get off the red tail without causing problems. However, it was impossible in the bush with all of its thorny branches. It made both cat and hawk feel cramped. They struggled to move.

"Look, if you just-"

"I'm trying!"

"Hey, watch it!"

"Sorry!"

"That's my wing you're standing on!"

"I'm sorry again!"

"Here, let me move."

"No, let me- WOAH!"

Ozone said that last part when he tripped over a branch. Tiberius had been trying to get back on his feet when the Sphynx cat fell on top of him again. This time however, it was much weirder than the first. Why? Because now Ozone's muzzle was pressed up against Tiberius's beak. It almost looked like they were going to kiss each other on the lips. Ozone's face was bright red with embarrassment while Tiberius could feel his heart accelerating. Shaking, he whimpered, "This is awkward."

"I agree, this is hawk-ward," Ozone replied. He was trying to distract them both from what had almost happened. However, Tiberius didn't seem amused as he grumbled, "Get off me if you want to live." The hairless feline did so without question. The pair finally managed to pull themselves out of the bush.

Licking a small scratch on his paw, Ozone looked over at Tiberius just as sunlight filtered in through the trees. His brown eyes glistened in its glow. His entire body seemed to be like that. Shaking his head, the hairless cat feared he was beginning to hallucinate. Shaking, he exclaimed, "I have to go!" Without another word, he scrambled away while Tiberius watched.
