Nio jumped on Jay's back and hung on tight as he went into the water. Nio blew out bubbles as they went underwater and he giggled once they came up for air. His long hair was plastered on his face and Jay was grinning at his face tilted back. Nio pushed the hair off his face as Jay blushed.
"OI LOVEBIRDS WE ARE GONNA PLAY WATER POLO." Mira yelled with a grin. Nio climbed of Jay's back and grinned clapping his hands. "Ok so Nio is team leader and.... Jay is the other." Mira grinned at them and Nia giggled. He kissed Jays cheek and whispered, "I'm gonna beat you." He pulled away and they were set to choose the teams.
Nio chose Jule,Fin,Luce. Jay chose Mira,Mia, and Maki. Marlo was to keep count. They set up the pool for the water polo and Nio stretched. Jay poked him in the side and he glared at him. "Hmph." He shook his head so his hair fell over his face and hid his smile.
Jay grinned at him while Nio struggled with his hair. Jay got annoyed at his struggling and grabbed the ponytail. He pulled out the hairband and put up Nio's hair correctly. Nio blushed and touched his hair. "Thanks." He said softly and Jay patted his head. "Well, I did grow up with Mira." He said playfully and they got ready to play.
Nio was extremely fast and agile, allowing him to easily score points for his team. Jay smirked when he held the ball up high. Nio growled and started climbing him. Jay grunted tried to push him off but Nio held on and grabbed the ball, kissing him on the cheek moving pass him quickly.
"WAIT HOW IS THAT LEGAL." Mia yelled and Jay shrugged. "He didn't hurt me." He said and went after Nio. He grabbed his foot and pulled him back. Nio tried to kick him, but his grasp on the ball fell away and Mira grabbed it. She threw it to Mia who scored a point. Maki high-fived them.
Nio pouted while Fin and Jule laughed. "I mean, you did climb him like a tree." Luce pointed out and Jay grinned at him. He had released Nio's foot. They went back to their respective sides. "6 to 5." Marlo shouted and the teams jostled for the ball. Maki got a hold of it and threw it to Mira. Nio jumped in front of her, caught it and threw it to Fin.
Fin caught it and started swimming to the other side. Luce guarded her and she threw it to Jule. He almost caught it but Mia intercepted him. She started swimming the other way when Nio popped up scaring the shit out of her. She yelled in surprise dropping the ball. He grinned, grabbing it and quickly swimming to the goal.
He threw it to Jule who threw it to Luce, who threw it into the goal. "Nio's team wins with 7 to 5." Nio grinned and the team cheered. Jay rolled his eyes and they started taking down the equipment. It was the rule. The losers clean up. Nio laughed and started wringing out his hair. They had gotten it cut so it was about elbow length but healthy.
He smiled at Jay who wrapped him in a towel. Nio giggled and taunted that he won. Jay ignored him and they changed. Nio braided his hair and played with Loui. Jay came back from the meeting and Nio stared at him. "We have a run." Jay said and put on his combat boots. "Oh.. can I come??" Nio asked. Jay smiled and kissed the top of his head. "No."
Nio pouted as Jay quickly left the room. "Stupid." He mumbled and stood up. "You know what Loui, I will not stand for this." Nio said and stuck on his converse. He stared at the waning sun and jumped out the window. His glided in the wind, his wings still a bit damp. He landed on the roof of a building and perched on it.
"Hmm.." He mumbled to himself with narrowed eyes.
"He's gonna be mad." Jay thought to himself as they were driving to their destination. "Hey, look at those ravens." Mira pointed out and Jay swore under his breath. "He cannot be serious right now." Jay mumbled and Mira looked at him confused. "Nio is probably following us." Jay said and Mira nodded. "Oh yeah."She mumbled and stared at the window. A raven stared at her and flew off in the direction of a building.
"Ravi, good boy." Nio cooed and pet him. Ravi cawed and flew off. He had specifically chosen black clothes to blend in. He leaped off the building and quietly followed the van. He landed softly on the top of it and bent down, laying flat against it. He quietly waited as they parked and got out of the car.
"Get down here." Jay snapped and Nio, startled fell off the top of the car. "Shit." He mumbled and Jay grabbed his arm. "Nio." He said angrily and Nio bit his lip. "I'll go now." He said quietly and stood up, flying back towards the HQ. Nio shook his head and sat on the roof staring at the moon.
He smiled at the moonlight and pressed his head into his kneecaps. He wiped his eyes and went back to the room. He pet Loui and cuddled with him. He fell asleep with Loui in Loui's bed. He cried softly into Loui's coat as he slept. Jay sighed and got back in the early hours of the morning.
He quietly opened the door and picked Nio up. Nio whined in his sleep and Jay held him in his arms. "I'm sorry." He whispered and kissed Nio's forehead. Nio groaned and picked his head up. He yelped in shock, causing Jay to drop him. He moaned in pain as his head hit the floor. Loui came over and sniffed him as Nio held his head. Jay stared in shock but quickly knelt to the ground.
"Are you ok??" He asked and Nio glared at him. "Leave me alone." He whispered angrily and stood up, shakily walking out the door. Jay sighed and knew he would not be able to get through to him in his mindset right now. ay changed and tried to sleep, but could not his mind elsewhere.
He groaned as the sun came up and he blinked tiredly. Mira stood by the doorway and Nio was pacing in the hallway behind him. "He's probably so mad. I bet he doesn't want me anymore." Nio said and Mira pointed at the room. Jay had moved to the doorway and looked at him confused. "Why would I not want you?" He asked and Nio yelped.
"Ah- uh.." He mumbled nervously and started playing with a thread on his shirt. Jay sighed and grabbed his arm. Nio flinched at first but let Jay pull him into the room. Jay pinned him against the closed door and stared at him. Nio's eyes flickered to the bags that had appeared on Jay's normally awake face.
Nio cupped Jay's face in his hand and ran his finger over Jay's jaw. "I didn't want you to go on the run because you are still healing." Jay pointed out at the band-aids still covering Nio's cuts. Nio blinked and smiled. "You could have just said that." Nio mumbled, heat rising to his face.
Jay sighed and hung his head. "I figured that out." He said and Nio smiled sweetly at him. "I still love you." Nio said and softly kissed Jay. Jay smiled and pulled away, wrapping Nio in his arms. "Can we sleep?" Jay mumbled and Nio nodded. They cuddled with one another and fell asleep in a warm jumble.
"Christ why the hell is there a fire drill." Jay mumbled and Nio shrugged, putting on his shoes. He pulled Jay with him to the fire escapes and they walked to the front of the building. Nio held Jay's hand as they sat on a bench waiting for it to be over. It was noon and of course today there was a scheduled fire drill.
Nio leaned against Jay who was asleep. Marlo started chatting to Nio about something and it went by in a blur. He sighed and stared at the sky. Nio smiled at Marlo, who got up and went to find his friends. Nio laguhed at Jay who had his mouth hanging open. He closed it and kissed his cheek.
