xp_logsThe sibs finally fly together.
“Jayyyyyyyyyyy” Mel singsonged, waltzing into his room. “Are you free?” She was grinning from ear to ear, scheme clearly in the works.
"I'm thinkin' there might be a correct answer here," Jay teased, even though he really wasn't free.
“Well,” she said, flopping onto his bed. “I was thinkin’ we still ain’t gone flyin’ together, and it was my birthday a few days ago.” She looked at him with her best puppy eyes. “It’s such a nice day out Jay! We should gooooo.”
"Are you going to get kidnapped again?" Jay asked, but was already getting ready to go flying. Ever since the video game incident a few days ago he had been antsy about Mel going out on her own.
Mel rolled her eyes. You get kidnapped one time and all of a sudden it’s everyone's business. “It’ll be fine- they’d have to kidnap you too! Or birdnap. I reckon the wings would make it harder.”
"Where'n do you want to fly together?" Jay asked with the ease of years and years of ignoring Mel's teasing.
“Could go over the woods? Shouldn’t be anyone out. Or jus’ around the mansion.” Mel hung upside down off the bed, looking at Jay. She was feeling better already, this was a great idea.
"Yer the birthday girl," Jay said, prying his window open so they could go right out. "Yer the boss, Mellie."
Mel rolled off her spot on the bed and made her way over to the window, but not before grabbing one of his flannels from the closet. They were the same size after all, and it might be cold! “Woods it is then!” She gave Jay a quick hug just because.
Jay hugged her back, not even noticing that she was stealing his clothes- after all she'd been doing it since they started being something similar to the same size. This time she just might come to regret the wing slits in the back. He maneuvered himself through the window and fell slightly before he rose with a beat of his wings.
Climbing out the window with the practiced grace of someone who did so multiple times a day, Mel floated over to join him, glowing faintly. “Cmon, let’s go!”
Even if the dusky light of morning, it was easy to see Mel's white-gold glow. He had never actually seen her fly before. "Wow," he said. "You look like an angel."
“Says you,” Mel teased, gesturing at the wings. She did a fancy little loop just to show off as they neared the edge of the woods.
"Yeah, says me," Jay said as he followed her. "Now wait up!"
Mel slowed down a touch so she could coast beside him, smiling brightly. “We oughta do this more often. I’ve been practicin’ a lot but it’s more fun with you here.”
"You go faster'n me at cruising, you notice that?" He asked, doing a wide circle around her.
“Prolly jus’ more aerodynamic, no wings.” She didn’t actually know why she could fly, just that she could. “M’sure yer plenty fast when ya want to be, Jay.”
"Y'wanna race?" Jay teased and then, as is the prerogative of all older siblings, took off before Mel could get started.
“Hey!” Mel shot off after him, now actually trying for speed. The trees blurred together below as wind whipped her hair around her face.
Jay laughed as they flew, the beat of his wings against his ears. They should have done this sooner.
Mel caught up with him and gave a little wave as she passed, shit eating grin on her face.
He moved to tackle her out of the sky, forgetting for a moment they were so high.
She squawked when he grabbed her, wriggling in his hold. “Hey! No fair- get off!”
It was strange to tackle her without sending them both tumbling into the ground, but Jay kept hold and held her tighter. "I'm jes' hugging you!" He teased.
“I still won,” she grumbled, still squirming but not with much conviction.
"Happy birthday, Mellie," he said and gave her an actual squeeze, not a tackle squeeze.
Mel resigned to her fate of being fussed over by her older brother. All in all, a pretty great present. “Thank you fer comin’, love you.”
“Jayyyyyyyyyyy” Mel singsonged, waltzing into his room. “Are you free?” She was grinning from ear to ear, scheme clearly in the works.
