Soaring Planes and Medical Kits (Pilot X Alyssa)

Chapter 2

A few weeks went by and Pilot had never been happier, which is really saying something in comparison to his usual joyful self.

They spent every day together, going to the park and the woods and spending time building pillow forts and dancing to music that wasn't even playing. They spent every moment they could at one another's side and no moment went to waste as they watched many sunsets fade over the horizon and gazed at stars as they shone brightly across the night sky.

And when she finally went home at night he rested and dreamed of her.

But today he didn't rest.

Instead he was getting an awkward talk about dating from Danish and Ellora, and a slight lecture about keeping such secrets. He was scared that they didn't approve and was silently preparing to argue if they told him to end the relationship.

"I gotta say, you two ok so happy together. I'm proud you found someone, and took it upon yourself to do so." Danish patted him on the back. He was very surprised at this.

"Just, please, be careful and safe." Ellora added.

"You mean, you approvee of her?" He asked hesitantly.

They nodded their agreement and her hugged them tightly, overjoyed that they were okay with him dating. The heavy weight that rested on him was lifted and relief took it's place.

He thanked them quickly and ran outside to meet up with Alyssa once again.

But she didn't look as happy as she normally was to see him.

She hugged him before he could even say anything and cried, sobbing quietly as he tried to comfort her, running his hand soothingly through her hair as the other hand rubbed circles in her back. She finally stopped crying, stepping back to look at him.

"Sorry, I'm just a bit stressed with my training, my coach hit me today." She took her hand away from her face to reveal the irritation on her synthetic skin.

He was shocked to say the least.

He was absolutely stunned to imagine that someone would lay hand on her in such a way. That someone would hurt her and feel no remorse for doing so.

"Why?" He managed to speak.

"I stuttered on a quiz." She wiped the tears from her eyes. "Can we just cuddle today?" She asked.

"Yes, you need a break. Danish and Ellora approve of you. I just talked to them." Pilot smiled and she laughed lightly. "I'm glad." she smiled back at him.

Then he picked her up and walked over to the porch, where he proceeded to hold her body against his and enjoy her warm embrace as she held him back.

She had never felt safer.

And he had never felt more content.
