Love is complicated. (Doesn't connect to other top wing story!)

Chapter 1

Swift POV

"I can't stop thinking about her. She's so pretty; her feathers are always flawless. And hearing her voi-"

"Primo, dude, but can you not borrow an hour of my day?"

I laughed at the puffin's response. I had just finished talking to Speedy and Brody about my slight crush. "Ok, Brody. Catch you later?"

Brody nodded and ran off. I sighed sadly.

"Hi Swift! You know we're running the parade this year, right? I can't wait! Brody's going to do this really cool image in the waves! And you'll skywrite! At least I think you will."

I nodded at Penny, trying to keep it together. Suddenly I remembered something.

Penny loves a good joke. 

"I'll go fix my Flashwing- right now it looks like I might sky-wrong." The two of us laughed as I  flew off. Too close, I told myself. Way too close.

"Hey Swift! Whatcha cockadoodle-doing?" 

I landed next to the rooster. "Not much is happening, Rod. But..."

"But what?"

"I'm ready to tell Penny how I feel about her..."

Rod rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh..."

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing! I'm perfectly fine!"

I raised an eyebrow. "If you say so, Rod. Penny went to visit Anyu, and Brody is in Headquarters. I'll be training with Speedy if you need me."

I flew off, trying to figure out Rod's weird behavior. Does he like me? If so, I'm screwed. He didn't even tell me that he liked guys. He's my best friend, so if he really was into other guys, he would talk to me about it.

Wouldn't he?

Rod POV

As soon as Penny got back, I ran over to her. "Penny, can we talk?"

The penguin looked up. "Swift again?"

I nodded. "Yea, if only he didn't like you!"

"What? Swift likes me? This is bad..."

"Why?"

Penny frowned. "You know very well why! You like him, but he likes me, but I like Brody! This is bad! What do I do?"

I got an idea.

"Confess to Brody. You never know until you try."
