Birds of a Feather (Taira/Tori) Flock Together

[Livvia]

Taira didn't say anything to Lukeas she waited; she was too keyed up. The moment they rolled Tori in, she froze, her eyes on him. She couldn't help wishing that Luke weren't there so she wouldn't have to worry about him, but she couldn't exactly kick him out. He'd been the only person she'd been able to talk to, while Tori had been in the full cast.

As soon as the nurse left, Taira moved to Tori's side, throwing her arms around him. "Oh my god, are you ok?" She choked out, tears touching her eyes for what had to be the millionth time since Tori had been sent to that horrible place.

[shady]

Tori didnt say anything as his sister hugged him. He didnt even move. He only pressed the call button, and started yelling nurse. The nurse rushed in and pulled Taira off of him and started to explain that Tori was still weak and shouldnt yet be hugged because it was bad for his health. Then the nurse left, and the room got quite.

Luke glared at Tori and murmured under his breathe that Tori was a bitch, and then walked out of the room. Tori, of course being stubborn, couldnt miss this chance and flicked Luke off, his eyes still on the television. After Luke had left, Tori turned the volume up, coughed, and still paid no mind to his sister,Taira.

[Livvia]

Taira's mouth fell open at Tori's reponse. She hardly noticed Luke leaving; she was too focused on Tori. For as long as she could remember, she hadn't really ever been mad at him. It just... never happened. Now, though, she couldn't help feeling pissed. Angrily, she moved across the room and jerked the tv's cord out of the electrical socket, effectively turning off the damed thing. A second later, she shut the door of the room and walked back over to stand beside Tori, glaring down at him.

"What the hell is your problem?" She demanded. "And don't you dare ignore me. I haven't left this hospital in weeks because of you... and this is how I'm thanked? A big 'Fuck You,' Taira?"

[shady]

But of course, being as stubborn and as hard-headed as he was, Tori could not help what he did next. He simply ignored his sister, despite her request not to, and pressed the call button again.

,"NURSE!NURSE!," he yelled loudly,"IT'S BOTHERING ME AGAIN!,"

[Livvia]

"You fucking bastard," She hissed under her breath, slapping her brother across the face before quickly crossing the room. When the nurse entered, the look on Taira's face was carefully controlled. "I didn't do anything. He's just having a tantrum, or something." She gave a sweet smile, somehow convincing the nurse to leave, before she turned back to Tori.

"I can't believe that you, of all people, would do that to me." She glared -- something she'd never HAD to do to him before. Her wings twitched behind her, as if they weren't sure if they wanted to fold in tight or stretch out. "Did that accident mess up your head and make you a complete ass, or something?"

[shady]

Tori was shocked actually. Yes, half of him had been expecting that, but the ass in him had not. And, unfortunetly, the ass in him had won, and it was about to win again too.

,"...I.. I cant believe you just did that..," he whispered. Then, before he knew what he was doing, Tori completely lost control of himself. He jumped out of the hospital bed and practically flew over to his sister, despite the fact that he no longer had wings. He pressed her up against the wall with his large, masculine body and lifted his fist back as if to punch her. But, he stopped mid-air and asked himself what was he doing? Was he really about to punch his sister?

The answer was no. And slowly, Tori broke down, sat on the floor and cried.

[Livvia]

Fear made Taira jump back against the wall, though that probably wasn't the best idea. Of anything she'd been expecting, this wasn't it. She stared wide eyed at him as he forced her against the wall, reparing to punch her. She braced herself for it -- but the contact never came. Instead, she felt his weight fall away from her to the floor. For a feew moments, she just watched him, so crumpled at her feet, before she finally sunk down so she was sitting against the wall. She didn't dare touch him, not after all that.

"Tori," she murmured. "What's going on? Please... I can't... I can't handle you acting... like... like..." She shook her head, not sure how to describe it. She was so lost, at that moment. She could hardly stand it.

[shady]

Tori frowned, and wiped his eyes. He let his baby blue eyes look up at her, and then back at the floor. Tori scooted closer to his sister, then leaned over and pressed his face against hers. He laid his hand on her face, then let it run through her hair. He leaned forward more and closed the gap between their lips.

And then, who should walk in but the devil himself, Luke. Who stood in the doorway shocked.

,"What.The.Hell?..," he said, staring down at them with utter disgust.

[Livvia]

She wasn't sure at first what he was doing, but soon enough, Taira knew. She didn't object. In fact, her arms wrapped around his neck to pull him closer. A sigh passed the girl's lips when they touched his, her eyes closing. How long had it been since they'd kissed? It felt like years.

The kiss didn't last nearly long enough, though. Taira pulled sharply away, horror on her face when she saw the boy in the doorway. "Oh shit." She muttered, her head falling back against the wall behind her, as if in defeat.

[shady]

Luke stood in complete and udder silence, gawking at the twins, whom had just been allegedly kissing. He shook his head. That had not happened. That had not happened. But, yet he still could not get it out of his mind. It had in fact happened.

,"Thats it, ive had it. Im telling.," Luke said, and he turned to go.

[Livvia]

"No!" Taira jumped up and at Luke, grabbing his wrist. With a quick jerk, she threw him away from the door, her wings stretching out to block it. "You... you can't. We won't... we won't let you," she shook her head, panicked. She looked to Tori, trying to get him to help. Surely he realized that he was in danger here, too.

[shady]

Tori had realized the danger in Luke telling, but he did nothing to stop him, he just sat there, and stared up at Luke.

Luke on the other hand,ripped Taira's hand from his wrist and growled at her.,"No! i have made up my mind you filthy whor... wait..," suddenley Luke's face lite up and he smiled evilly.

,"I'll only not tell on one condition..,"

[Livvia]

Taira looked from Luke to Tori. The look on Luke's face scared her to the core. Eveything about the situation scared her. Sure, she'd always known in the back of her mind that someday, someone would find out about her and Tori... she'd just figured it wouldn't be someone like Luke. Someone she'd kind of become friends with. But... he wasn't really her friend, was he. The way he kept looking at her told her no.

She wished more than anything that Tori would say something, but he was aparently not into helping, at the moment. Gritting her teeth, she looked back at Luke, squaring her shoulders. "...What's your condition?" She spoke quietly, hoping he couldn't hear the fear in her voice, yet praying that Tori could.

[shady]

Luke's smiled seemed to grow even wider as he told them of his dastardly plans. Tori was speechless when it was all over. He only stood up and walked slowly to Luke. They argued, fought, a few punches were thrown, and then it was settled. Luke was to own Taira and there was nothing she could do about it.

[Livvia]

Taira's arms wrapped around herself, as if to protect her from something. Lately, it seemed as though she needed it more than usual. Luke was in football practice and would be for a few hours -- it was her only real safe time from him. He still didn't know about th bathhouse, luckily. Curled up on the tile floor there, she waited for Tori. He'd promised to meet her there... She just hoped he wouldn't forget. The last thing she needed was for him to be avoiding her.
