Green Ham and Eggs [Angry Birds fanfic]

Chapter 12. Jinxed it

Red looked at Leonard with such meaning that he could never ever express with anyone else.

"Leonard, i-i... i do wanna see the sunset with you."
Leonards eyes glistened with joy and his heart burning inside. Leonard let go of Reds hands and pulled him closer, giving him a tight bear hug. Red hugged back, burying his face into Leonards chest.
"I'm so happy you feel the same".

Leonard sounded to almost be crying, hopefully with tears of joys. Red stayed in Leonards embrace for what felt like for forever until he was eventually pulled back and saw Leonards cheerful smile. Red couldn't help but smile back, feeling the tears well up. Red hid his face as he wiped away his tears. Leonard cupped his hand around Reds cheek and pulled it up to see Reds teary face. Wiping away his tears with his thumb as Red gently pressed against his hand. Red looked up at the now night sky.

"The stars looks so beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you are."
Leonard complimented, pulling Red closer and leaning closer down towards him. Red began to blush as he leaned closer and kissed Leonard passionately. Red blinked his eyes, feeling the warm sun hit his face. He could feel his hand touch something soft, and comforting. He looked up to see Leonard who was also waking up.

"Oh you finally waking up, my little feather."
Red shyly giggled as he snuggled next to the soft man. Resting his face against Leonards chest.

"Maybe, i want to stay like this forever."
Leonard hugged him back feeling his soft light brown hair touch against his lips. He passionately kissed Reds head, holding him closer and feeling like be nevet wanted to let him go.

"I love you."
Leonard whispered his head still rested in Reds head as Red looked up at him with his big tired confused eyes.

"What did you say?"
Leonard just smiled sweetly. Grabbing Reds cheeks and pulling him closer, kissing him gently. Red held onto Leonards hand, closing his eyes and feeling Leonards comforting touch.

"Sir- Uuh."
A soldier suddenly burst through Leonards room door, suddenly stopping when he noticed Leonard lying down with Red. Leonard sits up more professionally as Red peeked through.

"Um sorry for the disturbance your highness..."
The smaller soldier apologized, slightly bowing.

"Highness? Wait you're a king?"
Red asked, dumbfounded. Leonard laughed surprised it took him so long, giving a small kiss on his small forehead and walking towards the soldier. Both Leonard and the soldier walked outside, closing the door behind him and leaving Red awkwardly sitting on Leonards bed. They had been talking for awhile it seemed and Red was slowly becoming more and more curious as to what they were saying. Red crepted closer towards the door, laying his ear it. It was soft and mumbles but Red could still make out their conversation.

"I don't care what it says, just get them out of here! It's an old script anyways"-

"But it has been correct about everything- about your future hus"-

"I know! But that doesn't mean it'll always be right. I'll make sure he doesn't leave- so just get them out of here! and don't waste my morning like this again..."
Leonard got louder and louder towards the end, making Red slightly terrified of Leonards anger. 'Make sure who doesn't leave?' Red speculated their conversation making no sense. The door in front of Red slowly opened back, pushing Red backwards as Leonard calmly entered again, catching eye contact with Red.

"Oh... um i-i was just uum."
Red began to stutter as his eyes bounced around the floor. Leonard walked closer ridding the space between them. Opening his arms as Reds heartbeat began to beat faster. Leonard then wrapped his arms Red, holding him tight. Red froze for a moment, slowly placing his hands on Leonards back.

"I never want to lose you..."
Leonard whispered, his voice going rasp, his grip slowly tightening.

"I-i don't want to lose you too..."
Red responded, holding Leonard as well. They stood in place for a long time. Leonard never showed any sign of letting go. Then suddenly.

"Alright! How about we go have something for breakfast?"
Leonard pushed Red away, holding onto his shoulders.

"Oh, sure."
Leonard smiled happily, grabbing onto Reds nervous hand. Red followed Leonard through the big hallways, watching all the other small people walk by.

"So why did you never tell me you were a king?"
Red questioned, slightly feeling betrayed by the fact Leonard kept this from him.

"It never really came up and I didn't want you to feel that you had to be all courteous and treat me as a king all the time."
Red let go of his sour feeling, believing Leonard and understanding his side.

"that makes sense, it's still pretty cool how you are a king."
Red still admired the idea of being around royalty like he was some special person from those stories about a poor person marrying a king or rich person. They always seemed fake or just a nice self-insert, everyone dreams of, and plus Leonard never seemed like those stereotypical king or rich guy, wearing fancy jewellery and having servants do everything for him. Most of the time he is literally just wearing a green singlet. Red still liked Leonard though, he loved him, just for being him. Red grabbed onto Leonard big comforting hand as he memorised the different corridors and rooms they past.

Red kept looking around noticing all the interestingly weird stuff that was stored on his boat. Plungers, fancy hats that you would only wear for crazy outfits, pipes and even random bouncy balls. Red peeked through each room. Red also watched all the small soldiers carrying funny items as they passed them and saw something he quite didn't expect pass him. he saw a soldier, holding an obvious blue egg walk right past him non chalantly and it seemed Leonard didn't even notice the soldier either. Red let go of Leonards hand and stopped to turn back to the solider. Leonard felt Reds hand disappear and stopped as well, turning around to see Red looking behind him.

"Red? are you okay?"
Leonard asked, walking to Red and looking at the direction he was so mesmerised in. That's when Leonard saw it and immediately stood frozen as Red turned to him with a mix of frustration and confusion.

"What was that- was that a birds egg?"
Red asked staring at Leonards hopeless eyes. Leonard didn't look back at him, instead faced away from him. Knowing what will happen, he confessed. He nodded his head as Reds shoulders drooped down in disappointment.

"You wouldn't understand, but I had to, believe me."
Leonard finally moved to face Red, leaning to hold his hand but Red pulled away.

"Why wouldn't I understand?"
Red asked, feeling his voice become raspy as his chest began to tighten. Leonard stayed quiet for a moment, thinking about his next response.
