Strawberry Fields

Her touch was so soft...
"You must be wondering how I became a freak with wings" he murmured, closing his eyes for a moment.
"A freak?! What ever! This is amazing!"
Ivy grinned up at him brightly.
"So you can fly? How did you get them? Are you some mysterious bad boy!?"
She laughed
Ivy grinned up at him brightly.
"So you can fly? How did you get them? Are you some mysterious bad boy!?"
She laughed

Ha!
"That's Raven, not me. But yes, I can fly. And the whole how I got them thing is a bit...complicated" Darien said, opening his eyes.
Ivy was there smiling at him.
Her hands running through his feathers.
"Oh.. Still pretty amaizng!"
Her hands running through his feathers.
"Oh.. Still pretty amaizng!"

He couldn't really reach his wings, so it felt strange to feel human touch.
But good too.
"Nyx's shadows all went into me and they just...sprouted"
"Wow..."
Ivy raised an eyebrow.
"What did you do to make her do this!?"
Ivy raised an eyebrow.
"What did you do to make her do this!?"

Where could he possibly begin?
"Like I said, it's complicated" Darien finally said, sighing.
Ivy smiled and then turned.
She pointed up in the leaves of the tree.
"See.."
She whispered
She pointed up in the leaves of the tree.
"See.."
She whispered

Darien titled his head up, squinting in an effort to see what she saw.
I don't see anything really noticeable
"The leaves are so beautiful..."
She whispered
Leaning back
She whispered
Leaning back
Ivy smiled.
"Isn't it amazing.. The life.. And they whisper.."
She whispered
"Isn't it amazing.. The life.. And they whisper.."
She whispered

"Isn't that just the wind?" Darien asked, voice doubtful as he frowned.
She sure did have an imagination!
"Well probably .. But you never know..."
She chuckled.
She blushed and glanced over.
"I sound crazy huh?"
She chuckled.
She blushed and glanced over.
"I sound crazy huh?"

"Nah. You sound...poetic" he murmured, smiling.
Maybe she liked writing.
Ivy blushed.
Then laughed.
"Poetic!"
She laughed shaking er head.
Then laughed.
"Poetic!"
She laughed shaking er head.
Ivy stopped and smiled.
"Oh.."
She nudged him lightly and grinned.
"Thanks then!"
"Oh.."
She nudged him lightly and grinned.
"Thanks then!"

It really was quite pretty...
"How old are you?" he asked randomly, curious.
Ivy glanced at him.
"16... Almost 17..
Why?"
She asked curiously
"16... Almost 17..
Why?"
She asked curiously
"What about you?"
She smiled lighlry
She smiled lighlry
Ivy tilted her head and smiled.
"When's your birthday!?@
"When's your birthday!?@

Darien tried to remember.
Which was sad.
One should immediately remember the date of their birth.
"In a week or so. In six days I think. When's yours?"
"You think?"
She smiled and giggled.
"I'll make sure to bring you a gift.."
She added.
Then a she thought..
"Um.. April 18th,"
She smiled and giggled.
"I'll make sure to bring you a gift.."
She added.
Then a she thought..
"Um.. April 18th,"

Darien noted this mentally.
Tucking the little bit of information in his brain for later.
Hope I'll remember!
"So tell me about yourself..."
She smiled leaning back again
She smiled leaning back again

"I'm more interested in you. What's your background?" he asked, smiling again.
Ivy sighed.
"Interested in me?"
She laughed
"Interested in me?"
She laughed

He swallowed hard, opening his mouth to protest.
I didn't mean it like THAT!
"There is nothing interesting about me that I want to speak about.."
She added.
She didn't mean it like that.
She didn't have a very good past.
A wheeze escaped her lips and she reached down and grabbed her inhaler and took a puff.
She leaned back.
"I have asthma...@
She added.

She didn't have a very good past.
A wheeze escaped her lips and she reached down and grabbed her inhaler and took a puff.
She leaned back.
"I have asthma...@

"You...you do?" he asked, immediately sounding stupid for asking, since she had just told him.
It was just, Ivy had been running so fast!
He would have never guessed she had asthma.
Ivy sighed.
"I know.. Unbelievable... I can run fast because... I'm a daughter of Hermes. It's a gift... That comes with a cost.."
She sighed once again
"I know.. Unbelievable... I can run fast because... I'm a daughter of Hermes. It's a gift... That comes with a cost.."
She sighed once again

Darien decided not to express his pity.
She wouldn't want it.
His mind went back to what had just happened a few moments ago.
"Interested in me?"
Ivy turned looking at him.
She smiled lightly.
"Yes.. Tell me something about you.."
She smiled lightly.
"Yes.. Tell me something about you.."

Darien straightened and turned towards her.
"Well...I grew up in a orphanage" he said, jaw clenching.
Those weren't even really supposed to exist anymore.
But this one had.
And it was one of those really horrible ones that you read of in stories.
Ivy made a face and sighed.
"Sorry.."
She whispered and leaned back.
"I was happy for a while... Until my stepfather left.. I love him... And then I got beat up by some boys... I had a sucky past.. But now it's great!"
She grinned at him.
((Bye!!))
"Sorry.."
She whispered and leaned back.
"I was happy for a while... Until my stepfather left.. I love him... And then I got beat up by some boys... I had a sucky past.. But now it's great!"
She grinned at him.
((Bye!!))

Darien's chest tightened and suddenly it became harder to breathe.
The thought of people hurting this girl...
It made him feel sick.
Ivy sighed and closed her eyes.
"So... What about you?"
She whispered
"So... What about you?"
She whispered

It was just that...
She just looked so...
Beautiful
Ivy opened her eyes and turned looking at him.
"Well,"
She blushed deeply seeing him already staring at her.
Oh gods.. Stop blushing!!
"Anything.."
"Well,"
She blushed deeply seeing him already staring at her.
Oh gods.. Stop blushing!!
"Anything.."

"Well...I don't have any living family that I know of. Other than my godly parent" he said, shifting a bit on the ground.
Darien wished he could share more positive things about himself.
But his life hadn't exactly been a happy one.
Ivy nodded and sighed.
"I'll be your family,...."
She smiled sadly hoping to cheer him up.
She just... Didn't like him being sad for some reason.
"I'll be your family,...."

Be his family?
Darien's eyes were wide as he stared at her.
"That's...no one's never offered that" he finally said, starting to smile.
Wait, like my sister?!
"I could be like... A really... Really.. Er.. Good friend I guess!?"
Ivy looked over at him.
She didn't want to be his sister.
That's for sure...
Because it would be weird for a sister to be crushing on her brother...

((Er... Same here.... Um.. Fields?))
She laughed.
She then turned and reached out running her hands over his wings.
