M.B.C.R says: got a prompt on tumblr that called for fear of flight... so well... I did it!
Coco had volunteered them for a joint mission with Team SSSN. Mostly it was because of what happened during their first mission—the whole GRIMM thing and all that. It had little to do with Fox's crush on the green haired teen... totally nothing to do with that.
That was a lie; it had a lot to do with it.
The only problem about this mission would be the ride to the location. Fox was scared of flying—he hated it. She would admit that her partner hid his fears well now that he had grown used to it over the years. He would tell her it (his fear) was because of the sound, the fact that it made him dizzy and un-focused. She made him a deal halfway through first year and it still held up to this very day.
He was always the first one out of the Bullhead.
Always.
The two teams took off, the jets whirling and whooshing loud enough to drown out Neptune and Scarlet's loud conversation. Fox's grip tightened on the handle by his head, knuckles paling under the strain.
"You gonna to be alright, Fox?" Sun called out over the wind from the opposite side of the haul.
"Don't worry about him!" Coco shouted back, tucking a stand of hair behind her ear that almost immediately began to flutter in the wind again. "He's just afraid of flying!" This earned her a snarl from her partner on her left, "Something about the noise and not being able to see." She elbowed Fox at that, the boney elbow digging in a spot right between his ribs.
He squirmed away from her.
"You should've seen him during first year," Yatsuhashi chuckled at the memories. "Coco and I had to hold him down," he went on to explain.
Velvet laughed turning to the other team," Yatsuhashi had to sit on him!" She covered her mouth with her free hand.
Sun grinned sheepishly, rubbing at his nose. Their gaze caught and Velvets smile leveled off to something a little more sheepish and adorable. Coco wanted to gather her up, stuff her into her purse and hide her from the rest of the world.
Every team had their own special dynamic. Some started dating each other (Coco tried this with Fox but that didn't work, and now there's a small blossoming thing between her and Yatsuhashi that both of them are trying out), others became the best of friends, others hated the other, some considered the team like one family with the roles of such, and some formed a gang of sort.
For Team CFVY it was more of a family where Coco inserted herself as the Mama figure and ruled this family with an iron fist of love (and bullets). She was a very stylish Mum, thanks, and she made sure her babies were dressed to the teeth with an equal amount of style. Velvet though, Velvet was like the baby of the group—their precious little bun. Fox even behaved like the temperamental teenaged brother, chasing away anyone that showed even a hint of having a crush on Velvet. And lastly came Yatsuhashi, the father-like figure of the group. He was truly a gentle giant.
"He's handling everything better than expected," Red replied ignoring Team SSSN's goofy leader and the green haired male to their right. Coco took to Fox's nicknames of others rather well. They were funny and fitting, and it was just a hell of a lot more fun to call them by these nicknames.
Sage raised a brow at the orange haired male across from him.
Fox grimaced back.
Sage shook his head, chuckling under his breath.
"We promised him that he could jump out of the Bullhead when we're close to our destination," she watched the childish exchange between both males. Coco shook her head, "which will happen in ten seconds."
Neptune sputtered, "wait wait wait! Are we all jumping—"
Coco slapped Fox's ass, jolting him out of whatever face making contest he had going with Sage. Fox grinned at her, finally seeming at peace for the first time this whole flight. Coco turned to the group with a wicked grin, "it's time to clench your butt cheeks and woman up, boys!"
Fox tipped out of the Bullhead, twisting in the air so he'd land on his feet. Velvet hooked arms Coco and both girls jumped, Coco letting out a loud but joyful "Woo!" on her way down. The last remaining member of Team CFVY stepped out of the airship quietly.
Scarlet huffed, pushing their hair back away from the left side of their face. The haircut was supposed to cover the right eye, not the left. "I will not be out classed by a chick in a beret!" Scarlet exclaimed grabbing Neptune by the collar of his sweater and pushed him from the ship. Scarlet turned back to the others to let out a "let's go losers!" before jumping out of the ship as well.
Sun grinned throwing his arms up and back-flipping out of the machine. Sage chuckled shaking his head, following behind his teammates and leader.
On the ground the group re-grouped and quickly asset the situation and went over the mission overview. "Our job is to help the town with their little GRIMM situation," Coco touched and flicked through the mission document on her tablet. "I don't want any fuck ups so don't show off that ass of yours, Fox," she pointed, pocketing her tablet.
Fox sneered, sticking his nose up into the breeze and let in a wift.
"Aww, look at—" Fox kicked out, connecting with the back of Neptune's calf, "—oww!"
Scarlet patted the blue-haired teen's head in a there-there fashion. "Stop poking the bear," Scarlet warned shaking their head.
Neptune whined, pouting as he shook out his leg in an attempt to lessen the pain as his aura started to kick in.
"Stop whining, I didn't even kick you that hard!" Fox called back from a few meters away. The orange haired male made quick work. "The village is this way," he nodded to the woods behind him.
