Title: How To Woo Stork

Disclaimer: I own this like I have self control...-grins-and I don't.

Summary: Finn, trying to find a way to get Stork to really notice him, tries to come up with a plan. But, when that fails, the other Storm Hawks come to the rescue. Though, will Stork's paranoia cause him to realize what is going on?

Warnings: Slash, guy-on-guy, yaoi...whatever you call it, it's happenin', my grammar/ spellin', OOC-ness, will get graphic later, maybe, I dunno, and quite possibly, anythin' I can thing of, and any ideas ya'll have.

Side notes: New to the whole Storm Hawks thing, but hopelessly addicted. If some things are messed up, and/or missing, that's why.

Thoughts

Chapter Seven

Finn sighed as he locked his door. He leaped at his bed, bouncing against his soft mattress before he settled onto it. Rolling over, he reached under his bed, grasping around for a certain object. He smiled as he grabbed it, pulling it with him as he rolled onto his back, looking fondly at the sketchbook.

Finn flipped it open, his smile growing as he looked at the picture he drew of Stork standing over the Condor's controls. He flipped to the next one, which was Stork when he had fallen asleep at said controls. He remembered having to carry the worn out pilot to his bed, and Aerrow's apology for pushing him too hard for so long.

Finn mainly remembered that day because of how furious he was at the leader. After all, how could he work Stork to the point that he passed out? Finn flipped to the next page, he smile returning as he looked at the quick sketch of the merb early in the morning with a cup of hot cocoa and mini-marshmallows.

As he skimmed through all of the pictures, Finn realized that he was going to have to buy yet another sketchbook soon, having already filled up two. Man, I'm going to seem like an obsessed stalker soon... He wracked his mind for any scene of the merb recently, wanting to add another one to his ever growing collection.

Man, I've got to think of something... All of a sudden, he smiled widely, remembering the time when Aerrow had signed the Storm Hawks up for karaoke and Stork was forced to sing. Grabbing a pen, he began to draw the scene to the best of his memory, grinning once it was done.

A sudden knock caught his attention, giving Finn just enough time to thrust the sketchbook back under his bed and put the pen away while asking "Who is it?"

"It's Aerrow." The voice revealed itself as the leader of the group, and Finn quickly went over to his door to unlock it.

"What's up, man?" he asked, wondering what the redhead was up to.

"Okay," Aerrow said as he walked into the blonde's room. "...So, are you prepared to tell Stork?" This question was not what Finn was expecting, though, he was not expecting the redhead to show up so randomly at his door.

"Umm...kinda..." he admitted, knowing that he was both eager to tell everything to Stork, yet fearful to do it, also.

"Only 'kinda'?" the leader asked, knowing that the sharpshooter not feeling completely confidant in Piper's plan.

"Well..."

"Well...what?"

"Well...I know I want to tell him...but...then again..."

"You don't?"

"...Yeah..."

God, Finn thought. That sounds so horrible! I really want to be with Stork, even if it means a little anxiety before, it's still worth it. After all, who wouldn't want to be with him? ...Well, no one else, I hope...

"But, don't get me wrong," Finn continued, not wanting to give Aerrow the wrong idea about how he was feeling. "I really, really want to be with him."

"It's just that you don't want to get hurt, right?"

"...Something like that."

"Well, for what it's worth, I think you might have to be a bit direct with Stork. If he doesn't figure it out by the time Piper's plan is over, you might just have to come right out and tell him what you mean. ...No matter how much it makes you nervous."

"I know," Finn admitted, "But what if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he freaks?" What if he throws me overboard? He could always use one of his hidden traps.

"Well, don't you think that it's a chance that you should take?"

"...Yeah, yeah, I do."

"So, feeling any better?"

"...Not really, no."

Aerrow laughed loudly. "Well, I tried."

"Hey, Aerrow?"

"Yeah?"

"Why'd you come down here?"

The room suddenly became quiet, letting Finn know that the redhead was definitely not expecting that question to be thrown his way.

"Well...you seemed kind of quiet when I left, and I heard how you kept commenting about Piper's plan, so I just guessed that you were feeling a bit on edge about it."

"Good guess, then."

"Yeah," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck.

"So, what happened after I left?"

"Well...Piper...kind of..."

"...Acted like Piper?"

He laughed again. "Something like that. Though, in her defense...I might have deserved it."

"Might? What'd you do, man?"

"I think we might leave it to the others to fill you in, just in case I forget something."

"Forget something?"

"Well, you know how Piper gets about the small details. So, it'd probably be better to hear it from her."

"Oh, man," Finn moaned. "If I hear it from her, she'll still be telling me about all of her feelings at that very second years from now!"

"Umm, guys...and Piper?" Stork said over the intercom. "You might want to get over here...now!" Exchanging worried looks, the pair sprinted out of Finn's room, heading towards Stork and Junko.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked the two as she followed them.

"I don't know," Aerrow admitted, just seconds before they were about to see the merb.

"What's going on, Stork?" Finn asked, feeling his stomach tighten when the merb looked at him.

"See for yourself," he said, pointing directly in front of him.
