Standing By (Avi Kaplan fan fic)

Twenty

Darkness covered my eyes. Noise bustling all around as my feet shuffled down the cold floor of the air port. "Carful carful." Avi's lips pressed close to my ears as he lead me through the gate and into the plane finally. "And sit." He instructed. Dragging on the and. "Why can't you just let me?" I groaned. Placing my head on hi shoulder and acting as If I were sobbing. "Nah uh. You aren't fooling me with that again." I desired to slid my head down to his lap. Pressing my face against his flat stomach. I felt his breath hitch and his stomach clinch as I dug my face in. "Please?" I ask. My voice sweet and innocent. "N-no. And that's final." With a moan I sat up in the plane seat and pressed my face against the cool window of the plane an watched as it began to pull from the place it was once asleep in and the. Begin to run down the air way. I gripped my seat slightly as the place around me began to shake. Avi chuckled and gripped my hand tightly and pulled me over to him. After the plane had finally made it into the air, Avi reached up and pulled down a pillow and blanket from the bags we placed up there and perfectly laid it on top of me. The pillow in his lap. Without question I laid down my eyelids beginning to grow heavy already. It took me longer than expected. The gosling of the plane making me gasp at each jump. Fear sparking inside of my gut. I squeezed my eyes shut as Avi began to stroke my hair and hum. "It will be ok Charlie. It'll be just fine."

I woke with Avi's words being the last thing I heard. His hand then began to shake me awake. I felt as if I were asleep for five minutes. "Were here sweetheart." He whispered as his lips kissed me awake. I smiled an sat up. Just seeing the plane touch down. Alien buildings jut up from all directions. Cars lay asleep in the lane we park in. Weird letters on the side. But to small to make out. I look atAvi with hopeful eyes as he began to pull things from were they lay. I busted quickly off the plane to see an alien man standing before me. His face sculpted perfectly and eyes slanted. Then it hit me.

We are in Japan.
