"Are you hungry, Andy?" Ashley asked as he walked to the kitchen to make something for himself and his guest. Andy nodded.
"What would you like?"
"Anything's fine. I'm not picky." Andy replied with a soft smile. Ashley put together two sandwiches with Doritos and brought a plate to Andy. He sat down with the other one.
Andy and Ashley ate together peacefully. After Andy finished, he neatly placed his dishes on the side table. Ashley picked them up and walked to the kitchen. He put them in a stack with a load of other dishes.
Suddenly, Andy was leaning against the doorway.
"Would you like some help?" Andy asked, his voice sounding like he was in pain.
"Andy, what are you doing? Your leg is obviously broken, and you're obviously in pain. Here. I'll help you sit down." Ashley helped Andy limp back to the couch, making sure to mind his wings.
Ashley was secretly jealous of Andy's wings. They were beautiful, and Ashley wanted a pair of his own.
Andy sat back on the couch. Andy went back into the kitchen and made an ice pack for Andy's broken leg.
"Here you go. This'll help the swelling in your leg go down." Ashley explained.
"Thanks. Could I get another one, please? I think I broke my left wing, too..." Andy asked politely, seeming awkward asking a human for something to help his broken wing.
"Yeah, sure. Hang on a sec." Ashley smiled. He made another ice pack and brought it to Andy.
"Thanks a bunch." Andy said, holding one ice pack on his wing and the other on his leg. He looked bent up, and looked like he was struggling.
Ashley sat down next to Andy. "You don't mind if I hold one, do you?" he wanted to make sure that Andy was okay with the fact that he would be touching him.
"Yeah, that's fine. Just hold it here. It's where it hurts the most." Andy pointed to a spot on his wing that was swollen.
Ashley was mesmerized with Andy's wings. He was thrilled that Andy was letting him touch him. His wings looked so fragile, but at the same time, they looked like they could lift a thousand pounds.
Andy and Ashley sat in silence one again, with Andy holding one ice pack on his leg, and Ashley holding one on Andy's wing.
The swelling in both went down some, and Andy sat up. Ashley took the ice pack off of Andy's wing, and took the other one from Andy. He put them back in the freezer for later, when Andy felt in pain again.
Ashley was still not over the fact that Andy had let him touch his wings. He had felt something that he had only heard about in fictional stories. But with Andy, everything that was fantasy, was fact.
Ashley knew that he liked Andy. He could feel that he had a strong connection with him, and wanted to be closer to him. Maybe even to the point where they slept in the same bed.
Ashley was in love with Andy.
