"Oof!" My breath let out in a puff as Fang landed on top of me, pinning me to the ground. We had been sparring, and now he had won. He grinned smugly down at me, and I rolled my eyes. At least, I was rolling my eyes, until I realized that our position was a bit more…awkward than usual.

"Um, Fang?" I asked him pointedly. "Do you think you could maybe move your hands?"

His grin faded as he stared at me, confused. He glanced down at where he was resting his hands, then whipped his head back up to look at me again, horrified at having discovered the fact that his hands were placed right smack dab in the middle of my breasts.

"Uh, yeah," I said again, assuring him that our position really was just as awkward as he was thinking. He looked down at his hands again and then back up at me once more, dumbstruck, until he finally came to his senses and leaped off of me.

I snickered at his expression. There was no way I'd ever let him live this down, and he knew it.

As Fang wheeled away from me, unfurling his wings and leaping into the sky, I gladly took it upon myself to remind him of his daily health tip.

"You know what they say, Fang," I yelled at his retreating form. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"

And I swear to this day that I have never, ever seen Fang's face as red as it was that afternoon.

A/N: So there you have it, the first chapter in our newest collab. With any luck you're not scared away by it. Next up will be Ninja C, with "B is for Because," to be posted sometime during the week.

Feel free to read and review, and start suggesting words to be used for letters C-Z!
