“ there's nothing left to say now.”

Corbin's heart dropped when Cyrus fell, hurrying up to the railing to check if he was okay, and sighing softly in relief when Cyrus took to the skies again. He cheered weakly for his boyfriend, his own wings stretching out behind him a bit. "Y-You're doing great, Cy! Keep going!"

Cyrus looked over at corbin. Hed almost forgot the boy was here “ thanks cori. “ he yelled back. Cyrus ended up beating the challenge first, with some students in a close tie for second. Cyrus came back to corbin. He was exhausted after flying so hard and fast. He practically collapsed when he finally sat down.

Corbin applauded for Cyrus, still looking nervous, but glad nonetheless that Cyrus had performed well. "Good job! Um… is it time to go back home now, then?" He asked, sitting down beside Cyrus.

“ yeah, “ he huffed out. Then someone called out, the man was a grey-haired, battle-a worn and Scarred man. If it hadn't been for the way Cyrus jumped into a bolt straight stand with his hand behind his back and one to his forehead you would have thought it was a crowds-men calling for Cyrus. Though it wasn't until the man came closer did his darkish blue wings come into view. This was Cyrus’s father. The smaller blue jay let his wings relax to cover corbin from view. “ stay.” he whispered to the crow. “ what the hell was that Cyrus! You should have been the one to stay up in the air!” he yelled

Corbin looked up curiously when someone called for Cyrus, tilting his head to the side a bit. After glancing between Cyrus and the man for a couple seconds, he concluded that they must be related. When Cyrus hid him with his wings, Corbin leaned to the side a bit so he could get a closer look at the man, although he flinched at his sharp voice. He cowered back behind Cyrus' wings after that, although his legs and parts of his wings were still visible.

“ I.. I promise I..ill stay up there sir!” Cyrus’s voice wavered after his father's stern reaction. It wasn't until Cyrus flinched badly could corbin see the man with his hand raised to hit Cyrus. He seen corbin and lowered his band quickly “ if your can't even be at the top of your training classes then you might as well be no son of mine. Go take care of your crow shigima “ he snapped.

Corbin flinched as well as though he expected the man to hit him as well as Cyrus. His wings puffed up and he shielded his face with one forearm, his heart racing. He relaxed a bit when he noticed Cyrus' father had lowered his hand, but he still seemed uneasy, and he grabbed onto Cyrus' arm to feel more secure.

Cyrus watched his father go, only breaking his stiff position when he was out of sight. “ I'm so sorry cori I didn't think he'd say anything. “ he said and held corbin close. The bluejay wrapped his wings around corbin

"I-It's okay… it's… it's not your fault…" Corbin replied softly, burying his face in Cyrus' chest. He felt small next to Cyrus, but comfortably so. He liked how it felt when Cyrus held him close. "We should probably head out now, right?"

Cyrus sighed “ yeah before dad comes back.” he said and put his hand in Corbin's, walking away from the scene and heading home.

Corbin nodded and followed Cyrus closely, his heart still racing a bit. "Um… what do you wanna do when we get back?" He asked after a while of walking.

“ anything you wanna do, be said and looked down at corbin thoughtfully “ I'm up for anything you have in mind. “

"Well, I don't really have anything in mind… I'm happy to just lay in bed and watch TV or something." Corbin shrugged.

Cyrus sighed “ sounds good to me,” he said softly and leaned a little on corbin

Corbin led Cyrus inside the apartment and into his bedroom, flopping down on the bed once they were in there.

Cyrus laid down next to corbin, he put his arm around the other's waist and snuggled close to him. Sometimes he was thankful for Corbin's small size and this was on of those times

Corbin grabbed the remote and turned on some random show before huddling up against Cyrus, humming softly in content. "Feel free to change the channel to whatever…"

“ Okay, “ he said half dozing. Cyrus put his wing around corbin and nuzzled into the other, feeling content with corbin in his arms.

Corbin closed his eyes, finally relaxing. He hadn't been very relaxed the past couple of days, after all. It didn't take him long to fall asleep in Cyrus' arms.

Cyrus had fallen asleep as well, breathing softly

Corbin stirred a little later due to his stomach grumbling. He sighed and opened his eyes, glancing up to see if Cyrus was awake.

Cyrus was still asleep, but his face was stressed. He may have been having a nightmare but it was hard to tell.

Corbin gently shook Cyrus to try and wake him, noticing his troubled expression. "Cy? You okay?" He asked softly.

“ hah? Oh, yeah I’m fine love, what’s wrong?” He mumbled to the other

"Looked like you were upset… bad dream or something?" He asked, huddling a bit closer.

“ yeah a small one. “ he pulled corbin close. “ what did you want love?” he asked again

"Wanted to make sure you're okay…" Corbin gently kissed Cyrus' cheek. "…And I'm hungry."

Cyrus laughed “ same, lets go get something to eat.” he kissed corbin softly and sat up, streatching his wings out.

"Okayyy… do I have to get up?" Corbin whined, starfishing on the bed. "I'm comfy here… why can't I just not feel hungry?"

“ I don't know and yes, I'm taking you somewhere nice. “ he said and leaned over corbin.
