The Fish and the Chickadee A Red velvet Pancakes Story

Meeting James

Matthew held his breath, eyes screwed shut. He was going to die. He was going to run out of breath and drown and no one would even remember he ever existed, even his brother Alfred would forget about him, without Matthew constantly there to remind Alfred who he was. He felt something gripping his upper arms making him panic more. Then suddenly there was a pressure on his lips. His eyes few open in surprise. Thee was someone kissing him! I mean what the H, e, double Hockey sticks! He gasped in shock and felt the other person breath something into his mouth. Matthew could feel the foreign magic flowing through his body. He was absolutely paralyzed, how is someone supposed to react to this kind of situation!? The older man pulled away with a just barely visible grin tugging at his lips. He had black shades that were currently resting atop his head, dark blond hair that was in a messy ponytail, and dull purple eyes with small shadows beneath them. Matthew could also see bandages that wrapped around the others chest and right shoulder. He watched as the other looked at his curl curiously and reached to touch. This is when Matthew really began to panic. He wanted to tell this stranger not to pull it, to leave him alone, to ask what this man was doing, but he couldn't seem to be able to find his voice. That's when, to his relief, Kumajiro crashed straight in to the mysterious strangers chest. That's also when Matthew noticed the long, shimmering, and slightly scared, fish tail that extended from the newly identified merman's waist. Matthew scrambled to swim towards the nearby outcropping of  rock. The only thing going through his mind at the moment was to get out of the water as fast as possible. He grabbed onto the stone and heaved himself onto the large boulder. He flopped back onto the sun warmed stone his thoughts racing. The scrabble of claws on stone snapped him out of his thoughts as he sat up and crawled to the edge of the out cropping. He expected to find Kuma trying to climb up after him instead he was once again face to face with the merman, who had Kumajuro tucked firmly under his arm. The merman smiled, showing off  his sharp fangs, and Matthew did what anyone would do n this situation. He screamed.

The little bear proved to be more bothersome than James expected. It bit down on his shoulder little pays flailing trying t scratch him, as he tried to yank it off by grabbing it by its scruff with one hand and opening pulling it's teeth from his shoulder with the other. When he did pry the cub off himself he threw it away from him, and went to climb up the stone outcropping after the little chickadee. The little familiar had other ideas biting down on his tail fin and trying to keep him from going after its master. James growled angrily, he didn't want to hurt the creature to badly it was only doing it's job, but he needed to go after the younger ma before he tried to get back to the mainland. That being said he smashed his tail against the side of the outcropping. Effectively knocking the small bear unconscious and freeing it from his tail. He tucked the animal under his arm and began hauling himself up the sheer face of the stone outcropping. His claws leaving obvious marks in the face of the rock. As he got ready to haul himself onto the top he found himself once again face to face with his little chickadee. The youngers eyes widened and James couldn't help but notice the panic in those beautiful orbs. Right before the boy screamed out bloody murder. Thinking fast James tossed the small bear onto the top next to the younger man and then he lunged. Pulling himself up the rest of the way with one great heave and pinning the little chickadee to the ston beneath them. His clawed hand clapping over the youngers moth cutting of the scream. "None of that now. Dont worry chickadee I wont hurt you." He watched as the others panic died down and he loosend his grip. "Now i'm going to let you go but you've gotta promise you won't scream again. Okay chickadee?" The other nodded his head and so james removed his hand. He shifted his position so that he was sitting up chikadees back pressed against his chest and his tal wrapped aound The smaller mans thin waist. "U...um c...could y...you mabey let l...let me g...go p...p...please?" "I'd rather not chickadee. I rather enjoy having you in my arms." "Chickadee?" The young man in James arm turned towards him slightly the most adorable confused look on his face. "Yes chickadee. You just as adorable as one." "M...my names Matthew n...not chickadee." "I perfer calling you chickadee. You can call me James." "So iis it still a no to letting me go?" James opened his mouth to  awnser but was interrupted by an annoying voice from the direction of the beach. "Hey bastard! What the hell are you doing to my bro?!"
