(AN: Hey everybody! I'm back from New York! Meaning that I am back to writing! YAYYY
I have a longer version of everything I wanna see in the latest story for Memoirs of Mobius U, so just check it out there lol
BUT ANYWAY
This chapter is a bit special, and dedicated to our reviewers! See, I've gotten two requests from people asking to see Jet and Storm skinny dip. Now, I've never written that as a part of the final story, but when I saw those, I thought that it was a perfect idea! So yes, you have your wish: Jet and Storm will skinny dip this chapter.
So, with that out of the way, let's get on with the show!)
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THE USE OF A HOMOPHOBIC SLUR, PROCEED WITH CAUTION
It was late night at Camp Silver Lake, and everyone where in their beds sleeping. Every boy had their eyes closed and their chests rising, resting themselves for the next day.
All except Jet, who lay wide awake. He got up from his covers and looked around, seeing that every boy in Cabin C was asleep. Quietly, he moved to the edge of the bed and climbed off from it, grabbing his shoes and his shirt as he quietly tiptoed through the dead silent Cabin C.
The sudden snore from Capricorn caused the hawk to freeze up, feathers poofing up.
"That was FAR too close…" The green avian muttered to himself.
Quickly but quietly nearing towards the exit of the Cabin, Jet opened the door and slid right through the crack.
Sitting on the steps, he placed his shirt on, and then his red and black boots, and made his way to the forest.
"Storm said he wanted to have an intimate moment tonight, which is why he wanted me to sneak out after dark and into the forest," Jet thought, reflecting the situation. "I'm sure no one will find us…"
The hawk turned his head around one last time, before darting off into the forest.
Storm sat by a large tree, tapping his fingers onto the bark.
"I wonder what's taking Jet so long?" he thought. "I sure hope he didn't get caught…"
The crunching of leaves caught Storm's attention as he got up, worried if it was someone realizing the albatross was out of bed. Fortunately, it was Jet.
"Hey, I'm here," The green avian said, giving him a smooch on the cheek.
"That's good, now we can finally have the night all to ourselves."
Storm sat down by the tree as Jet sat next to him. The two connected hands as Jet laid his head on the large grey avian's arm, sighing happily.
"It's so nice to finally do something like this… Having to do stuff like this underground isn't that easy…" Jet mused.
"Agreed," replied Storm.
The two looked up at the stars, each of them shining brightly in the night sky.
"My mom always told me that every star was special. It represented something, or someone we cared or desired for. She always told me I was the brightest star in her life, and I said the same thing too…" Jet began.
"Aww… that's cute…"
"Yeah… although… the stars grew brighter when the angels took her…"
"The angels took her?"
Jet simply looked down, not saying anything.
It took a second, but Storm understood what he meant. In that moment, Storm wrapped him arms tightly around Jet, not wanting to let go.
"I'm… sorry…"
"It's okay… it still kinda shakes me up, but… I've gotten over it…"
"I didn't know-…"
"I don't really like to talk about it. Dad didn't fare much better either when she died."
"Is that why he didn't race for three months a long time ago?"
"That's why…"
Storm looked away from Jet. As someone who had both parents alive, he could only wonder how the hawk grew up after his mom's death.
"My dad took care of me solo after that. From then on, most of his Extreme Gear winnings, thieving heists, the money he got from that went to raising me. He didn't want to spoil me, but wanted me to grow up happy, wanted me to have a smile on my face even with my mom dead. I… I respect him for that, working hard for me… Sometimes I think that's what my mom wanted him to do."
Jet reached towards the side of his boot and opened a secret compartment. He pulled out a photo.
"No matter how much dad gave me, I still always remembered mom. I always keep this picture of me always. Dad gave it to me as a way to remind myself of her."
Storm looked over his shoulder to see the contents of the photo. Two green hawks, a male with a scar over his beak, a red bandana on his arm, and a burgundy vest, and a female wearing a white shirt and yellow pants, stood next to a smaller hawk, who was smiling. By them was a birthday cake with the number '5' on it.
"Heh, the day of my 5th birthday. I'll never forget it," Jet said.
"Aww… look at lil' baby Jet…" Storm said, pointing at the young version of the hawk. Jet chuckled.
"Those were some good times…"
Jet laid back across the ground, going 'oof' as he did.
"You know, even though I never went through something you did, I… did have some problems growing up…"
"Really?" Jet sat back up. "Was it the bully stuff?"
"No…" Storm said. He then took a breath. "Well… I wasn't the brightest kid growing up. Still aren't to this day, and well, my school got worried, and they tried to put me on pills. I say tried because I refused to take them. Not even my parents approved of it. Just because I'm big and dumb doesn't mean I need to be treated bad…"
The albatross looked away as Jet hugged his arm. "You aren't dumb. You're a smart guy from what I've seen. Honest."
"You… you mean it?"
"Yeah," Jet nodded.
Storm stuttered as his face grew red. "W-Well, I uh…. uh…"
He then kissed Jet right there, turning away from him only seconds later.
"Sorry just… I still kinda believe that I'm not smart…" Storm said.
"You are, Storm. Don't let anything from your past hinder you," Jet replied. The large grey avian turned back to face Jet, who was smiling up at him.
"Funny... we both went through our own things growing up…" He mused. "I really do think life intended for us to meet."
"Yeah… like, I wanna be by your side forever…"
"Heh heh, what, are you saying we should get married tomorrow?"
"Heck yeah, why not?"
The two chuckled.
"Listen listen," Storm said. "We'll have an all green and grey theme, and this'll take place on the Babylon Rogues airship, most important part. And our cake'll be Extreme Gear themed, and who knows? Maybe we can invite Wave too!"
"You put in a lot of effort into thinking about something that may or may not even happen. What's next, our kids?
"Actually, yeah! We'll have hawk and albatross hybrid twins," Storm placed his hands together. "I'll take care of the boy, and you'll take care of the girl."
"Now we've decided on the gender-Oh Storm, you're killing me," Jet chuckled. "Lemme guess, their names?"
"Hmm… you know, I didn't think about that…"
"Maybe you'll think of kid names another day. Fortunately, I happen to like kids a lot, so I should be good in coming up with a name and raising them well."
"I… used to not like kids that much. But, I like 'em more than I did back then."
"When mom died, that sparked my love for kids. I wanted all of them to feel loved, none of them to go through the pain of losing a parent, or worse, both."
Storm turned his head to look at Jet. "That's pretty deep. You have a lot of dreams, Jet."
"Dad told me to always dream back. So, there's my explanation."
The two continued to look up at the stars. Jet rolled closer to Storm, cuddling with him.
"Did you ever imagine this happening, Jet?" The albatross asked suddenly.
"What happening?" replied the hawk.
"Everything that's happened at camp so far."
Jet placed his finger on his lips before opening his mouth. "Truth be told, I didn't expect meeting you, let alone dating you. But… I'm glad I did. This camping trip has been the best one I've had, and I'm glad you're here to spend it with me."
"Aww… I'm touched."
Storm pulled Jet closer to him.
"Mmm… can we just… stay here all night?" The green avian mumbled, tiredness in his voice.
"If we could, but someone would find us…"
"IF we could, but everything that's happened so far, I wanna relieve it again."
There was another pause of silence before Jet spoke again.
"Do you think that eventually we should tell everyone that we're dating? I mean, you won't be able to come after 17…"
"Still not a good idea. I'm sure you wanna come back here next summer, right?
"I mean, yeah, I guess…"
"They'll surely remember it. And that's talking about the kids. Who know what the Scoutmaster could do…"
"Scoutmaster, fafmaster, same thing. Like I'm scared of some ol' Scoutmaster. I should show him me and you kissing if that can shut him up."
Storm laughed. "It'll be fun in the moment, but you'll be kicked out."
"Exactly. In the moment is just what I need."
The two chuckled again as they cuddled closer.
"Man… already we've been dating for a month and our relationship has shown me that this summer is the best summer of my life…" Jet said, placing his head on Storm's chest. The albatross put his hand on Jet's as he kissed his forehead.
"Yeah, I never really thought about dating too much. But… you've shown me that being in love isn't that bad."
Jet chuckled as he climbed on top of the albatross, kissing him once again as he lay across Storm's chest.
"Say, I've got an idea," Storm said.
"Hm?" Jet replied.
"Wanna skinny dip?"
The hawk didn't understand what he meant at first. But he suddenly remembered: skinny dipping meant being in the water with someone… completely naked.
"U-Uhh… I, I mean!" Jet sputtered out.
"Never done it before?" Storm replied.
"Nope, never have."
"It's my first time too. Don't worry, it'll be fun."
"Well… okay. But can we go someplace farther away from camp?"
The two avians went to the very edge of the lake, almost heading towards the girls camp. Both the hawk and albatross' clothes were on the floor, leaving a naked Jet and Storm swimming in the lake.
Jet didn't know what to make of the situation. What he did know was that… this felt rather nice.
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Jet's waist. Squawking, he saw that it was Storm.
"Surprised to see me, eh?"
Jet blushed softly and then nodded.
"Good…"
Storm placed his head on the green avian's shoulder, wet feathers colliding. Jet shivered.
"It's cold, man…" he said, putting his arms around his naked frame.
"Wanna warm up?" The large grey avian asked.
"Huh?"
Storm took the two towards the shore, the albatross having his back towards the edge of the water. Jet got on top of Storm's lap, feeling what felt like his-
The hawk's eyes widened.
"Oh Great One, that's what I think it is on my thigh," Jet thought to himself. Surely this wouldn't lead to… sex, would it?
"Feeling warmer now?" Storm asked.
"Y-Yeah…"
Jet wrapped his arms around Storm's neck as he slowly inched towards the large grey avian's beak. He closed his eyes and slowly kissed Storm, feeling him rub his large hands up and down his feathery back.
However, unbeknownst to the kissing birds, a group of boys, no older then sixteen and no younger than ten, were walking by the nearby trees, taking a small late night walk.
"And so I tell her; "You dumbass! You women aren't good for anything!" said one of the boys, a lizard with a haircut that went over his eyes. His group of friends laughed at the obvious sexist story. Suddenly, the youngest one, a yellow rabbit, saw green and grey near the lake.
"Hey guys look! There's someone there!" he said. Everyone went to the bushes and moved the leaves out of the way. "Let's play a prank of them!"
As the boys took a look closer, their eyes widened in shock at the sight before them.
"Oh… oh my god… Is that… Jet and Storm?!" the lizard said in a whisper.
"Yeah… it is. I can't believe it… they're… I can't even say it… Why them?!" said another boy of the group, a brown duck, as they watched Storm give another kiss to Jet.
The two undid from their kiss as Storm seemed to say something to Jet. The smaller avian nodded and the two began to start swimming. It was then that everyone noticed their clothes on the grass.
The lizard started to chuckle.
"Heh heh heh… well now… this is going to be an interesting story to tell everyone back at camp in the morning. C'mon guys, I think we show these queens what happens when you're a faggot, join Camp Silver Lake, and we find out!"
The group left the trail, going as quietly as possible, and headed back to camp.
(AN 2: I normally don't have AN's at the end of chapters, but I think this will be an exception!
So Jet and Storm have been caught! What will happen to them? From all the stories Wave told, to the words said by the unnamed lizard, it's only a mystery to the fate of Jet and Storm!
Next time on Camp Silver Lake, the dramatic finale!)
