Stork buried his face in his hands, what kind of dream was that? He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked down at the arousal still trapped in his pants. 'Okay there are two ways to solve this and one of them is definitely out so that means my only other option is a cold bath.' Stork thought.

This was not going to be easy. Not only were the other squadron members awake, what would happen if he ran into Finn? Stork's face began to heat up, there was no way he could face Finn after what had just happened. He shook the thoughts of the blonde out of his head, he was the last thing Stork needed to think about now.

"Well it's either sooner or later..." Stork said to himself. He stood up, which was a lot harder than he thought it would be and grabbed one of the towels he kept in his room. He closed his eyes and tried to look as normal as possible before stepping out the door. He scanned his eyes down the hallway thankfully seeing no one there.

The pilot breathed a sigh of relief and started to walk as quietly as he could down to the bathroom. Even though he was only walking a few feet, it felt like miles to him. Each step seemed to take him farther away than any closer. Stork let a small smile creep onto his face, he was almost there just a few more steps and..."Hey Stork!"

The Merb's ears twitched and he felt like bursting into tears. 'I was so close....' Stork thought sadly. After covering the front of his pants with his towel, he sighed and turned to face the person calling him. Aerrow came down the hallway smiling, happy to see that his friend was feeling better. "How are ya holding up buddy?" the redhead asked. "J-just fine..." Stork answered before adding "Ummmm what happened to me?"

"You must have collapsed from all of the stress you've been putting yourself through lately. Finn found you in the engine room completely out of it and took you back to your room so you could sleep it off," Aerrow replied. Stork's eyes widened "Finn helped me?" he asked, slightly shocked. Aerrow laughed and said "Don't act so surprised he cares about you more than you think."

"He....what?" Stork asked. "Nevermind, you'll figure it out." Aerrow said, turning and giving a small wave to say he was leaving. The Merb just stood there with a confused look on his face he had no clue what the boy had meant by that but he had a while to himself to think it over.

Aerrow smiled to himself, he hoped Stork would figure out what he was talking about soon. He entered the helm of the ship, everyone still looked worried about their pilot especially Finn. "Stork's alright." he announced. The other members of the team instantly turned their attention towards their leader.

"Really?! He's awake?" Finn asked, sounding more excited than Aerrow had ever heard in his life. "Yeah, he's taking a bath right now. Let's leave him alone for a while I don't think that he feels like dealing with anybody right now." Aerrow said. Junko, who was seated next to Finn, slapped the blonde on the back and said "See? You were all worried over nothing."

"Yeah I guess you were right...." Finn said with a weak smile, he was still worried and everyone could tell. "Finn." Aerrow called getting his attention before continuing "He's fine, I promise." The sharpshooter simply nodded and accepted Aerrow's answer although he didn't really believe it. All he wanted right now was to see the Merb for himself.

Stork sat in the tub of cold water thankful that his arousal had died down. Aerrow's words still replayed in his head 'He cares about you more than you think.' "Ohhhh." Stork groaned, laying his head against the back of the tub with his eyes closed. "What did he mean by that?" Stork asked himself quietly. He racked his brain, trying to think of an answer.

'Wait a minute....there's no way he meant.....' Stork thought as he sat up with a jolt. "But Finn couldn't be....in love with me.....could he?" the pilot asked himself. Stork let out a shuddering sigh, "I guess there's only one way to find out." he said lowly. He would have to ask Finn about it himself, after all there were only two possible answers the blonde boy could give him.

Stork still didn't know what he would do if Finn said "yes" but for some reason he felt a small sting of pain at the thought of him saying "no." 'Maybe.....I like him a little too.' the Merb thought with a small smile.

Yes! Another chapter done, and the fic is still pretty far from finished. So anyway guys, R&R and I'll update soon!
