Academy one shots (Ghostbird fanfiction)

Perfect Harmony

Sang's POV

It was bright and early on a Saturday morning. I was lying, cuddled up to Nathan listening to his steady heartbeat. I could tell he was awake when he brought me closer to his body. I sighed contently. The days had gotten colder and I really liked the heat radiating from him.

"Morning Honey," I said cheerfully. In a deep, sleepy voice Nathan replied.

"Ugh, Peanut it's too early. Go back to sleep." I giggled, he smirked sleepily.

"Honey it's 8 o'clock, time to face the day." I told him.

"Just five more minutes." He replied. I giggled again. Academy boys. Normally they were up earlier than I. He smiled and then we just laid there. His breathing evened out quickly telling me he was asleep again. I was a little hungry so I eased out of his hold and decided to go make breakfast. Before long Nathan sauntered in to the kitchen. He stretched and yawned.

"What's cooking good looking?" He asked. I could feel myself blushing.

"I'm cooking eggs and bacon. Could you get some of those coffees out of the fridge please?"

"Sure Peanut, anything else?" He replied.

"Nope. Thanks Honey." After breakfast I have a quick bath, I wash and shave, making sure everything is as soft as a baby's bum. I walked back into Nathan's bedroom and got changed. My phone, which was on the nightstand, buzzed. Indicating that I had received a message. I checked it.

Gabriel: Trouble! Are you doing anything today?
I wasn't sure so I went to ask Nathan.

"Nathan, are we doing anything today?" I said.

"Not that I know of Sang." He replied.

"Ok," I said.

"Were you planning on doing anything today Peanut?" Nathan questioned.

"No, but Gabriel just texted me asking if I was doing anything today." I answered. 'Ok' was the only reply I got. I texted Gabriel back.

Sang: nope, nothing planned.
Gabriel: Great! I'm coming to pick you up.
Sang: ok, why?
Gabriel: Because I want to hang out with you. Don't you want to hang out with me :(
Oops
Sang: No, I would love to hang out with you Meanie.
Gabriel: Ok good, see you soon Trouble.

Nathan had to go do Academy work shortly after breakfast. I was alone in the house. About fifteen minutes later I heard the distinct sound of a moped engine coming down the street. I looked out the window to see Gabriel zooming down Sunnyvale Court on his newly purchased vehicle. He came to a stop outside of Nathan's house, jumped off the moped (which was still running), and raced to the door. Seconds later the front door burst open and an excited Gabriel made an entrance.

"I'm here Trouble, c'mon let's go." He exclaimed.

"Do I need anything?" I asked.

"Just that pretty ass of yours," replied Gabriel. I blushed again. I followed Gabriel out of the house. After he'd locked it up, he continued to the moped with me in tow. He got on and was looking at me.

"Come on Trouble, on you get." He said with urgency as he made 'come hither' motions with his hands. I was confused as to why he was so antsy.

"Where are we going Meanie?" I questioned.

"To my house Trouble. Things to do places to be." He replied. I got on the moped behind him. My arms wound around his waist as he kicked off and we were on our way. I realised we were without helmets. Kota was going to kill us. The wind rushing around us was freezing, and I wished I'd had worn more. A little while later we came to a stop in front of Gabriel's trailer. With a shaky step I got off the moped and started walking towards the door. I was stopped when Gabriel called out for me to wait.

"Oh my god, your hair looks like shit. We're fixing that before anything else." He said. I reached up feeling the tangles and knots in my hair. What a nightmare. Gabriel caught up to me and we walked towards his trailer. He unlocked the door and we made our way inside, our hands intertwined.

"Pam's out today, it's just us." He said. He tugged me to the bathroom where he proceeded to wash my hair, brush it and finally blow dry it. He sighed in relief.

"So much better." He said smiling. He took my hand in his and started dragging me to his room.

"Trouble, I was thinking earlier today about some things." He stopped to open his bedroom door. When it opened he pulled me in. He did it so hard that I lost my balance and tripped. Luckily he had his arms wide open to catch me. He enveloped me in a tight hug. I really liked his hugs. What felt like eons later he released me, which I disliked. I straightened up, something felt different but I couldn't figure out what it was. My attention fell on back on Gabriel who had just plopped on his bed face up. I was studying his face when a light pink colour flushed his cheeks. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but quickly closed it again. I could tell he wanted to ask me something, but he seemed hesitant.

"Meanie? Is there something you wanted to ask me?" I questioned. Suddenly Gabriel leapt up off his bed and came towards me. He stopped in front of me and cupped my cheeks with his hands.

"Trouble, I...I uhh..."

Awww my Meanie was stuttering.

He sighed and straightened up like he had a newfound sense of confidence.

"Trouble, would you like to sing a duet with me?" He asked. "I wasn't sure if you'd want to-" I leant up and placed my lips on his for a chaste kiss.

"I would love to." I replied. His crystal blue eyes lit up and the smile on his face couldn't get any wider. He kissed my cheek.

"Thank god." He chuckled. "I just need to get something quickly, stay in here I'll be back in a minute." He says. With that he rushes out the door to get what he needs. I studied his room for the first time since I had arrived. All of the walls still depicted the same realistic forest with the doe, the birds and the ponds still serene as ever. I turned to the incomplete section of the mural to see that it had been painted. I gasped in awe and my eyes started to water. That was what was different. There in Gabriel's mural was me, but not only me, he was in it as well. We were in a tight embrace looking at one another. The emotion Gabriel captured was amazing but I couldn't figure out what emotion it was. Arms wrapped around my waist.

"Do you like it? I got some inspiration from some people." Gabriel smiles. I turn around to face him. Tears threaten to fall but I force them back. Gabriel's face falls when he sees the tears.

"I don't like it, I love it. It's beautiful." I say. He looks relieved as his head lowers and his lips find mine in a passionate kiss that is full of emotion. He broke the kiss and leant his forehead on mine.

"It was the missing piece, you were, and now I like it." He tells me.

"I told you that you'd like it after you finished it." I giggle.

"Yeah, yeah Trouble. Now let's get to this duet shall we." I nod and we both move and sit on his bed. He grabs his guitar and strums some chords. He starts singing.

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

I know the next part so I sing with him.

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

By the end of the song we are looking into each others eyes. Gabriel smiles and moves to kiss my temple.

"We have perfect harmony." He tells me. And we practise and practise until it is our voice boxes could sing no more.
