Chapter 5: Fair is Fair

Now they were walking again. Ace ahead, of course. She always walked ahead with her head held high. She had a lot of pride… Fang, of course, was left behind with Prince. "What is she?" Fang found himself asking and Prince raised a thin eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Ace is a hybrid, isn't she?"

"Yes…"

"What kind? I mean, I don't see any obvious mutations," Fang said as he watched as Ace snatched a wallet right out of a man's pocket and stuck it in her own; the man didn't even notice. "That's because she's a little more mysterious than just a hybrid. She's an Omnia Hybrid."

"What's that?"

"An accident,"

"What?"

"She was put together accidentally in a petri dish by a high school student. She can grow animal parts by will, granted sometimes it's excruciatingly painful or doesn't work at all. She's the only one of her kind. She's being hunted for her 'final perfection experiments.'"

"Which is…?"

"They want to reprogram her and fix her bugs. Otherwise she'll just be destroyed and her DNA will be cloned to make others better than her, which, in the long run, will be what they do anyway." Prince said, watching her with a frown. "That's horrible," Fang said, seeing Ace snatch a lollipop from a kid in a stroller. The kid took a few moments to even realize his candy was gone and started to wail as Prince and Fang passed. "Yeah, it's unfortunate and comes with a lot of mental and physical scars."

"I haven't seen any scars, and she seems so… normal."

"If you see her with her clothes off you'd see 'em," Prince said and Fang furrowed his brows at Prince. "Also, you're only seeing a shell of her, the ego, the pride, the greed, the complexes; it's merely a personality she's replaced herself with…"

"So, who is she really?" Fang asked and Prince was silent for a little while, "Who knows!" he shrugged. "You've never seen the real her? How long have you known her?"

"…Two years, I think." There was another long moment of silence. "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"You said you were from Japan, right?"

"…Yeah, up in Hokkaido, near Mount Higami-Mikuni." Fang blinked, "I have… no idea where that is," he admitted and Prince chuckled lightly, "I had a feeling, never been to Japan, huh?"

"Not in this lifetime," Fang said. "It's not that bad, Tokyo is definitely a sight to see, but that's in Honshu, not Hokkaido." Fang blinked again and Prince laughed, "Honshu is the biggest island," Prince explained. "Ah, so do you know any Japanese?"

"Mā, soko ni gakkō no bunki wa hijō ni ōku no kotonaru gengo ni michite ita. Kore wa, dekiru dake ōku o manabu koto ga hitsuyōdeshita," Prince said, leaving Fang to say absolutely nothing. Prince laughed, "And then some," he clarified. Fang smiled, "That's pretty cool, do you only know Japanese and English?"

"I know just about everything else, eş."

"Eş?"

"It means 'wife' in Turkish," Prince grinned and started quickly walking ahead. Fang froze and his face went pale. "Wh-what did you call me?" he asked and ran to catch up. Ace fell back and threw her arms over both Prince's and Fang's shoulders. "Look! You can see the Ferris wheel!" she said, pointing over the wide mall far ahead. You could, in fact, see it, turning ever so slowly, along with tons of other rides towering over the mall.

"So, I heard you guys talkin' 'bout me," Ace said, grinning widely, not taking her eyes off the Ferris wheel. Something about the look on her face was… mad, like, crazy-bitch kind of mad. Her arms wrapped tightly around their necks. A shadow fell on her mad expression, "It's rude to talk about people behind their backs…" she purred. Fang sweat dropped. Prince kissed Ace's cheek, "Says the hypocrite," he smiled and she rolled her eyes. "Oh, and Fang, you're buying!"

"What? But you can steal three damn wallets without thinking about it, why do I have to buy?"

"C'mon, Ace, he's trying to make money, not spend it," Prince said and Ace's arms tightened even more around their necks, forcing them to hunch over since she was so short. "He's buying…" she seethed. Fang sighed as his bangs fell in front of his face. "Yeah, okay, sure, I'm buying, my treat and all that shit…"

Ace smiled perkily again, "Oh Fang! You're so sweet!"

Fang did pay so they could enter this mini amusement park, feeling some despair that it might be a while before he could get to Russia. "We should get cotton candy!" Ace said, hanging on Fang's shoulder, "Ooh, that's a good idea, I'll get some, you guys go on ahead," Prince said and Ace grinned, "Awesome, I'm going to check out that mallet game, c'mon Fang!" she said as she ran off. Fang looked back at Prince, "I guess I'm going with her, if you're not with us in five minutes can I assume there's trouble?"

"Or something shiny," Prince said and shooed Fang off, smacking his ass as he went, igniting that old uncomfortable pain. Fang had to concentrate on walking without a limp even harder now. "Damn him…" he grumbled, catching up with Ace who was already holding a giant stuffed unicorn.

"SCORE!" she was shouting, brandishing the stuffed animal in the worker's face. "You owe me cash! Bitch!" she cackled and the worker slipped her a roll of dollars. "Don't judge a book by its cover!" she said as she ran up to Fang. "Oh man, that guy's a fucking tard! I told him his price to play was ridiculous so he bet I couldn't ring the bell on the hardest setting. Guess who was wrong? He was!" she snorted. She paused and looked at him oddly, "What the hell is with the look on your face? You look like you just got some unwanted surprise buttsex…" Fang's eyes widened, there she goes making him paranoid that she knows something again.

"It's nothing, what do you want to do now?" Fang said with irritation that Ace completely ignored, "Ring toss?" she suggested and Fang shrugged, "Sure." Before Ace trotted off she turned to a little girl nearby who was holding hands with her mother. Ace dropped the giant stuffed unicorn next to the girl, "Here, you can have this," Ace smiled sweetly and the little girl's eyes went so wide they might pop out of her head.

"Oh! What do we say Emily?" The mother said cheerily and the little girl squealed, "Thank you nice lady!"

"No problem kid," Ace said and turned back to Fang, "Let's go!"

"I think that's the kindest thing I've seen you do," Fang said as they started walking. Ace stuffed her hands in her back pockets and snorted, "Heh, I don't need it, and there's no way I'm dragging that thing around!" Fang smiled. At least he didn't have to drag it around for her.

Ace led him to the ring toss booth and Fang paid the guy and the game began. Fang was well aware that these games were all rigged and he hoped to high hell that Ace didn't want to do these all day, he didn't want to waste what little cash he has.

Fang was actually shocked at how well Ace did this; her coordination with those un-aerodynamic little rings was incredible. And he might have been a little more impressed if he wasn't so distracted with her large breasts that bounced every time she threw a ring. After her third prize she finally gave up on it, as she turned to face Fang he averted his eyes from her breasts. He felt almost comforted that he enjoyed watching them, with the hell confusion Prince was leaving him with it made him feel still safely heterosexual. Speaking of Prince…

"That was too damn easy," Ace scoffed, a mad grin spread wide on her full lips. "Great job," Fang said and glanced around, "Don't you think Prince should be back yet? Where is he?"

"Right here." Fang jumped out of his skin when he heard the whisper in his ear and the hot breath on his neck. He whirled, his ass burning again. He saw Prince standing there with three cotton candies in his hands and a large red balloon. "Don't sneak up on me like that, damn it!" Fang huffed, his face flushing furiously. Prince chuckled and passed him cotton candy. "Sorry I took so long, there was something shiny after all."

Fang scowled but Ace only cackled and took her own cotton candy. "So, you guys want to go on the Ferris wheel?" Prince asked and Ace jumped excitedly, "Yeah! Can we?" Ace asked Fang directly, "Uh… sure?" Fang guessed and Ace linked her arms in his, squeezing tightly to his left side as she hugged her three fluffy prizes. Prince threw an arm over Fang's shoulders and the three started walking again. "Where'd you get the balloon?" Fang couldn't help but ask Prince, "Volunteering at the kissing booth," Prince said simply and Fang's eyebrows jumped up in question. Prince laughed at Fang's expression.

"There's a fucking kissing booth here?" Ace asked, leaning forward to look around Fang, "Yeah, back where the cotton candy vendor is," Prince said and Ace cackled maniacally, "I'm sorry, you guys will have to hit the Ferris wheel without me, I need to check out this damn booth," Ace said as she disengaged herself from Fang, "I'll catch up with you bitches!"

"Cool!" Prince shouted as Ace ran off, "it's just you and me then," Prince said, biting at his cotton candy, his arms still wrapped around Fang shoulders. Fang suddenly felt very small, his shoulders rising and his head hunching down. Fang wasn't sure how he felt about being left alone with him. Prince seemed to notice Fang looking a little evasive and he gave him a kind smile, "You should loosen up," he said casually, still holding Fang to his side, "It's not healthy to be so tense all the time."

Hearing that Fang stood a little taller, but his shoulders were still pulled in tightly. There was no fucking way he'd be able to loosen up, not when Prince was touching him. All Fang could seem to notice was Prince's arm around him. Prince was so muscular but somehow scrawny at the same time, and he was so damn tall, I mean, Fang was pretty tall already, but Prince was like a head taller than him! And he had very broad shoulders… Fang had flashbacks from last night, seeing his bare, toned chest. Prince must work out a lot… or maybe he and Ace go through enough crap where he's just always in absurdly good shape. Fang's mind's eyes began to wander down Prince's body. Fang was just about to pass Prince's belt when he caught himself.

What the hell was he doing?

Fang blinked out of his stasis and looked away from Prince who—unbeknownst to him—had noticed him staring. "Something catch your eye?" Prince asked with a smug grin Fang wanted to tear right off his face. Fang cleared his throat, hoping his face didn't go red. "No…" he grumbled and Prince laughed.

The two finally reached the base of the Ferris wheel and stepped into the small line, Prince finally disengaging himself from Fang to pay the worker when they got to the end of the line. "Only two?" the worker asked and Prince nodded, still smiling smugly, like he had something up his sleeve. Fang didn't like that smile… or maybe he did?

Prince and Fang were let through the gate and into one of the carriages that could fit four people comfortably. Fang sat down in the far right corner on the left side so he could see over the edge. And maybe if Prince decided to put him over the freaking edge Fang could just fly away. Yeah, that sounded like a grand idea.

Prince sat just on the other side of the carriage across from Fang, sitting comfortably on the cold, metal seat as he watched Fang peering over the edge of the carriage with a mixed expression.

The ride groaned as it started off, the carriages swaying as they began to move. The ride moved very slowly but rose quite high, and they hadn't even reached anywhere near the top yet. The ride continuously stopped and started as other people were let on to the following carriages.

Prince smiled contently, "Isn't this nice?" he asked as he looked out at the city that could be seen for quite some way, buildings of many sizes towered one over the other, all brandishing their companies, or stores, or restaurant franchises. Fang quite liked the view, something about the city was calming to him. He knew the rest of the Flock wasn't huge on the big city, the noise, the lights flashing everywhere, the police sirens going off every five minutes (except maybe Nudge, but everyone knew she was the "normal" one). Every now and then Fang enjoyed the utter silence and bliss that came with total isolation, but just being in midst of the large city made him feel… part of the big picture.

Fang nodded in agreement to Prince, "Yeah, peaceful…" Fang breathed, letting his eyes slide shut as he inhaled deeply. It was such a warm day, the sun was bright, and the wind was subtle but noticeably soft. Fang wished he could get used to pleasant things like this, to think, soon enough he'll be in Russia, who knew what the weather was like there. Probably cold and full of Erasers and whitecoats, I mean, he's never been to Russia, but that seemed like the likeliest of weather. For a moment, Fang had the small wish to stop time for a little while, to stop worrying about the Flock and making sure everyone was safe and together, for a moment he wanted some change.

Fang was torn from the rather depressing thoughts when he felt Prince sit beside him. His eyes snapped open, "What are you doing?" Fang asked warily and Prince chuckled, putting an arm around Fang's waist and pulling him to his side. "Getting comfortable," he said simply, smiling down at Fang. That smug-ass grin…

"Why? Was where you were sitting not good enough?" Fang asked just little condescendingly. Prince still only smiled, cuddling closer, "Compared to this? Hardly."

Fang would deny it utterly and completely, he would be a totally stubborn pain in the ass about it, but his face turned bright red. Fang looked away from Prince quickly. He felt Prince lean in and kiss his neck. Fang shuddered. "Why do you keep doing that?" he asked, folding his arms tightly to his chest as he felt embarrassment burn in his cheeks. "Doing what?" Prince whispered into his ear, his hot breath making Fang want to shudder again. "This," Fang said unclearly. Prince kissed across his jawline. "Because I like you, and you let me get away with it."

Fang's heart rose to his throat and he choked on the sentence Prince just burned into his head. Fang whipped his head around to look at Prince, regretting it horribly as he saw how close Prince was, and that expression on his face killed him. "What did you just say?" Fang intended to sound a little more powerful and direct, but his voice only came out a squeak and he felt very, very, very small and pathetic. Damn it all. Damn it all to hell.

"You let me get away with it," Prince said again, his breath falling on Fang's face, smelling and tasting like the cotton candy he abandoned on his seat. "N-no, the other part," Fang said, shrinking even more in his seat. Damn him. Damn him all to hell.

"I like you," Prince smiled a little wider, the smug grin becoming more crooked the wider it got. Fang swallowed hard against the lump in his throat that denied him his ability to speak. Fang felt small, vulnerable, overexposed in Prince's clothes mind you, and like he should just fly away. For once in his sad little life, he understood Max.

Fang turned away from Prince again, his face red hot and feeling like he should throw himself over the edge. "I just met you, I don't even know you, and you screwed me once, I don't see how a one night stand translates into feelings," Fang tried to sound mature and like this wasn't his first rodeo. But goddamn it, someone upstairs hates him and is out to make his life hell. He sounded small and insecure.

Prince kissed and sucked on his neck lightly and Fang just scowled over the edge of the carriage, trying to organize his thoughts as his mind reeled. He was straight and a decent person, he does not fuck people he just met and then fall ass over elbow in love, especially with men. How Fang wished for Ace's nice pair of breasts to reassure him of the lies he was feeding himself. "The universe works in strange ways, I tend to go with the flow of things," Prince said, nipping at Fang's collarbone.

Fang felt miserable as hell, but at the same time he just wanted to melt into Prince's teasing mouth, and goddamn it he didn't like that, thus the miserableness. Fang could only pout in mixed emotions.

Prince suddenly pulled away and Fang resisted the urge to look up. "Are you mad at me?" Prince asked and Fang sank in his seat, "I don't know…" he mumbled and Prince leaned his head against Fang's, "Are you honestly that confused?"

"I'm not confused," Fang denied with a heated blush. Prince sat straight, "Then reject me," Prince challenged and Fang actually looked up at him and his terrifyingly serious expression. "Shoot me down, go on," he encouraged but Fang could only stare open mouthed and blinking.

This was his chance; Prince was offering him freedom from fret and confusion on a fucking silver platter. So why couldn't Fang take up the offer? Fang's thoughts reeled over the offer and every little bit of him was denying it. Why the hell was he denying it?

"I… I can't…" Fang squeaked and Prince smiled again, leaning down and taking up Fang's lips in his for only a moment in a feather soft kiss. Prince pulled away, admiring Fang's long lashes before purring, "That's fine." And Fang melted just around then.

Oh yeah, he melted like chocolate in the microwave, this was just too damn hard to deal with. Fang couldn't stand the pressure in his chest, and the heart that beat in his throat, and the thoughts that swam frantically through his mind. Fang leaned into Prince's embrace, letting his face bury itself in his muscled chest as he exhaled heavily, resisting the urge to beat the hell out of Prince. Prince then wrapped both arms around the younger boy, pulling him even closer to his body. There was a long quiet moment before Prince spoke again, catching Fang so off guard that he choke on his own tongue. "So, can I give you a blowjob now?"

Fang pushed Prince away violently, leaning back on the edge of the carriage, making the whole thing sway, "The fuck man, really?" he exclaimed, not sure if he was shocked and appalled or shocked and just tad bit excited by that. Prince laughed—straight up laughed at Fang's reaction. The older boy moved in close, leaving Fang little ability to escape. "You just react so well, and noises you make…" Prince took a moment's pause to lick his lips, "hell yeah," he chuckled.

Fang's face was three different colors:

White: Because all the blood had left his head and was rushing way too fast to his cock.

Red: Full embarrassment, insecurities, self-consciousness, and damn bashfulness were pouring into him.

Blue: He stopped breathing.

Prince leaned down and kissed Fang passionately, taking hold of his cock through his baggy jeans. For a moment Fang groaned in pleasure and melted into the palm, but then his common sense kicked in. Fang pushed Prince away again, "You—you can't, we're in public!" he said weakly, making him want to punch himself in the face for the way his voice sounded right now.

Prince rolled his eyes, "We're on a Ferris wheel that moves two miles an hour and stops every three minutes, and the likeliness of the people above us looking down at us is not very high, I think even if you screamed no one would notice," Fang didn't like the horribly sadistic look that crossed Prince's face. Oh god, he was going to try to make him scream, wasn't he?

Prince took up his lips again, palming the trembling boy through his pants. Fang clenched his eyes tightly shut. Well, if he was going to be arrested for public nudity he might as well enjoy this while he can.

Fang took hold of Prince's collar to keep him from pulling away any time soon. Without giving Fang any warning Prince's tongue slipped into his mouth, running across his teeth and twisting around Fang's tongue, causing the younger boy to release deep and throaty moans, his eyelashes fluttering as the mixed sensation of Prince's tongue taking control of his mouth and his hand expertly rubbing away at his cock took over him. If it wasn't for the fact that the jeans were so baggy, Prince's pants would have been just a bit too tight right now for Fang.

Fang's groin ground upwards against Prince's hands as the older birdkid started to undo Fang's belt, not breaking the kiss and licking Fang's lips and teeth hotly, causing more moans. Prince then bit down on Fang's lip hard, making him cry out. Prince snickered at that. "Sadists," Fang growled and Prince smiled innocently before slipping down onto his knees, unbuttoning and unzipping Fang's pants with his teeth and tongue, watching it tortured Fang. Little to Fang's knowledge, the look he was giving Prince was torturing the older boy too.

Prince took hold of the hem of the boy's pants and boxers, pulling them down to let his bare ass rest on the cold metal seat. Prince grinned eagerly at Fang's member, which was standing at attention, throbbing and moist with anticipation.

Fang adjusted his body into a more comfortable recline as Prince took hold of his thighs, spreading them to get in between, starting this little adventure with a kiss to the tip of Fang's cock. Prince circled Fang's excited member with his tongue, running his fingers up and down the underside, leaving Fang to shudder and let his head fall back in bliss. Prince's lips nipped and kissed at the sides of the stiff shaft, licking wherever he went before taking the whole cock in his mouth, deep throating it at once and Fang cringed towards the pleasure, releasing a very pleased moan.

Prince sucked in hard, in what little room there was his tongue went on an adventure, gliding along the underside and massaging the tip, his head bobbing up and down. Fang's fingers knotted in Prince's hair, pulling his bangs away from his one snake eye. Fang didn't take much note to it the last time, but he could feel Prince's sheathed fangs gliding across the topside of his cock, and it felt incredible.

"Ah… aahh…." Was all the noise Fang could make as he felt a heated pressure filling his tensing stomach muscles, the blessed moans slurring into incoherent mumbles as Prince continued to suck in, Fang couldn't stop himself from bucking and trying to push into Prince further, crying out louder.

Prince's hands pushed down on Fang's wild hips, forcing them to stay relatively still as he sucked harder and bobbed faster, letting his tongue harshly press and lather Fang's cock in his saliva. "Ngh… Prince… Prince!" Fang cried out, his eyes clenching tightly shut as the beautiful pressure built up to breaking point. "I'm gonna…!" was all he managed before he cried out in a mantra of moans and Prince's name as he came into Prince's mouth, pouring his seed down his throat.

Prince opened his throat to keep from gagging at the sudden fill. He continued to suck and message as Fang finished in pleasured cringes and whimpers. Prince swallowed hard before pulling away with a satisfying wet pop. Prince licked his lips and kissed Fang's trembling cock, making Fang shudder, too sensitive for touch now. Prince lovingly sucked inches above Fang's cock, marking him with a nice and vibrantly colored hickey.

Fang huffed for a moment and then grinned, and soon enough was laughing his ass off. Prince raised an eyebrow and Fang pointed behind him. The carriage the two were riding in was almost at the top of the wheel and was now nearly on an even level with the one behind them. And in that one was three cute teenage girls with cameras, giggling and snapping pictures of the two. Prince gave them a sly grin just as one of them snapped another picture.
