Falling for Something; Air Traffic
"Have a safe trip Hun" Posoh's mother shouts before he enters the automatic doors leading to the airport. Posoh looks back to his family and runs back to give them one last goodbye. "Don't do anything stupid" Posoh's sister says as she smiles in Posoh's direction. "Don't worry I won't" replies Posoh in a sarcastic tone as he sticks his tongue out at his sister. Posoh turns and starts to walk to the doors and waves as he enters the airport. A big gust of wind blows his hair as he enters the airport adjusting his eyes to the light inside. He pans the room and finds his destination, heading to his line. Overly excited to start the journey all Posoh can think of is his partner waiting for him at the other side of the world. Just the thought makes his grey tail waves fast grazing the people behind him.
On the day of departure Posoh a grey wolf was wearing stonewash straight jeans that hugged his hips as it dropped to the floor. With his pants he wore a Black leather belt with the fox symbol on the front of the buckle. The black slim fit t-shirt fit sung around his upper body showing every curve of his upper torso, the shirt showing a little bit of his stomach. His hair layered and black fell over his left eye. On his wrists he wore an orange bracelet and a faded glow stick. In his ears he wore light blue tapers with the size of a number two gauge. The tapers held a pattern of puzzle pieces with every puzzle piece a different shade of blue. On his trip he brought a suitcase with all the essentials of traveling across the world. He also brought a backpack filled with things that will keep him occupied on the long flight over like his I pod, sketch pad and a pencil, his DS some books and a change of clothes. "Next please" says the receptionist at the front counters. "Hello" Posoh says as he hands her his plane ticket She Takes the ticket and examines it before entering the data into her computer. "ok , may we have your luggage" says the receptionist as she smiles. Posoh hands over his suitcase so they can place it with all the other passengers' luggage"Thank you, you may now proceed to the gates around the corner where they will check your carry on for hazardous materials" Posoh smiles and nods at the receptionist then continues around the corner where there was another line waiting for him. Posoh Sighs as he jumps the long line awaiting his turn to go through the metal detector.
Sitting in line Posoh starts to daydream about his partner "Stan" he whispers to himself as he thinks about him. A tall yellow lion easily towers over Posoh. Stan's brown gentle eyes match the color of the hair on top of his head which had a bounce whenever he moved. His cute muzzle only stuck out a few inches from his face. His body type was more for Posoh to love with his soft belly. Moving down to his rock hard..... "Next Please" The security guard said Posoh quickly snapped back to reality and placed everything on the x-ray machine and started to walk though the metal detector.
'Beep beep beep' the metal detector screeched in a high pitch. "Excuse me sir can you step behind this glass for a second" the security guard says as he grabs Posoh's paw. Not trying to cause more trouble he follows the security guard behind the screen. "Place your feet on the yellow marks on the ground and stretch your arms out". The security guard says as he starts to pad down Posoh's body. Using a little imagination he makes himself believe that Stan is moving his paws up and down his body. Posoh whines quietly through his muzzle thinking about Stan exploring his body. "Sir I need you to relax" the Security guard says Posoh snaps out of his fantasy and immediately coves up his excitement with his paws Starting to blush Posoh says "I am so sorry err..." "Just move on to your flight sir" Posoh lowers his head in embarrassment and moves quickly to grab his carryon and other belongings. Grabbing his bag and shoving the rest in his pockets. Now being a good distance away Posoh looks over his shoulder at the security guard who was pointing and sharing what just happened to his buddies at the metal detector. Feeling more embarrassed starts to blush harder and lowers his head moving towards his flight gate. "Gate 16-A" his ticket reads, as he walks in the busy airport struggling to look for his flight gate. Reading the gate signs around he could tell he was close to his destination. Walking faster in excitement he comes across his gate. His slight grin grows to a goofy smile as he starts to approach the flight gate line. "first step to my love" Posoh thinks to himself as he waits impatiently in line. The line starts to board the passengers heading, people handing there tickets to the flight attendant as they walk by. Posoh walks with his ticket ready in hand as he walks by the nice flight attendant as she says "Hope you will enjoy your flight" with a smile on her face. Posoh smiles back and starts to walk into the hallway leading to his plane. His excitement now turns to nervousness for this will be his second time on a plane in his entire life. Walking down the hallway his mind starts to race; what if there is a problem on the flight, what if we crash, what if we get hijacked? His face now reflects fear as he walks into his plane. "this way to your seat sir" the flight attendant says as she points the most broad area possible. "th-th-thank you" Posoh says nervously Posoh walks down the walkway to his seat, looking at the numbers above that labeled the seats. Reaching his seat he takes his back pack off and moves in to the window seat. As he sits Posoh places his bag underneath his seat. Trying to relax before the flight starts, taking in deep breaths in and out, in and out, slowly. Closing his eyes and taking deep breaths he tries to focus on his environment. The movements of the floor as other passengers walk by his aisle, the sound of the bags being slid into above compartments of the plane, and the chatter of the passengers around him. Eventually Posoh heard the seat next to him make a creaky noise thus, opening his eyes to see a red vixen sit next to him. As the vixen sat down she said "hey there, are you ok" with a concerned look on her face. Posoh responded "yehh.....yehh....mmhmm" as he nervously nods his head. "You don't look or sound ok Hun" said vixen smiling at Posoh. "Don't worry I am fine" Posoh says as he puts on his best fake smile The vixen responded "Ooook then... I just wanted to make sure" 'Ding' the seatbelt light went off warning the passengers to take their seats. The Flight attendants got up to the front of the plane and went through their safety routine, which didn't help Posoh's nervousness at all. As the Flight attendants go through the speech about the safety gear all Posoh could think of is worse case scenarios. The plane plummeting thousands of feet, as the passengers panic and scream on the plane. Massive chaos as the passengers live there final moments in fear and panic.
"We will be on our way to the runway shortly" the Flight attendant shouts through-out the cabin. Posoh's muscles tense up as the plane starts to move down the runway awaiting its turn. The plane sits at the runway for a few seconds before it starts to accelerate down the runway. Posoh can't help but look out the window seeing the ground move faster and faster underneath the plane. The ground moving faster the plane starts to take flight. Posoh quickly looks away, tightening his grip to his seat and closing his eyes trying to focus on his environment again but, the cabin was silent. Through-out the plane all you could hear was the wind outside the window as the plane's acceleration increases. The chatter in the room was feint, Posoh could only make out small bits and pieces. One conversation was two young men talking a few rows behind him about the view outside of the plane. Another bits he caught was the flight attendants up front talking about an anniversary coming up
'Ding' "This is your captain speaking..... We have safely reached thirty-fiive thousand feet and setting the plane to auto pilot, you can now unbuckle your safety belts" Posoh reopens his eyes facing the window and peers in. Pure blue and white underneath and above the plane made him feel sick to his stomach. Trying to relax he pulls out his back pack and grabs his I pod and headphones. Placing his ear buds in the proper ears he scrolls through his music and selects random.
"We're going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we're going down swinging" the Fall Out Boy song plays through his head. Posoh yelps and violently rips his ear buds out hitting the vixen in the face. "Hey!" The vixen shouts "ok... I am going to get you some help" she says as she pushes a button calling service. A Flight attendant comes eventually comes over and says " how may I be a service to you?" The vixen responds "he is freaking out and need to relax. Is there anything you can do?" "Yes there is" the flight attendant says as she walks up to the front of the plane. "Sorry about that" says Posoh "You just need to relax. She said she has something that will help you" The vixen says as she smiles at Posoh. Few seconds later the flight attendant arrives with a small cup of water and two pills. "Here you go sir take theses and you will feel much better" the flight attendant says as she smiles. Posoh takes the pills and water in hand, swallowing the pills and chasing it down with the water. "Now try and relax and wait for the pills to take affect" Says the flight attendant. Posoh nods at the flight attendant as he takes deep breaths. "What is your name?" the vixen says to try and help Posoh relax "Posoh.... What is yours?" Replies Posoh "It is Allie" she says as she smiles "So Allie why are you going across the world?" says Posoh "I have some family I will be meeting for the first time" she says with a grin on her face "really?" "mmhmm... I have recently found out that I have family across the world. I found this out by playing a little detective in the library" Posoh giggles and says "oh yeah" "yep, they are on my mother's side of the family. You see my grandmother came from Belgium. She left her family in Belgium to start a family in the states. My grandmother got here and successfully started a family but, in doing so she lost connections with everyone across world. In the beginning she sent out letters to her family every week, then every week became every other week, then to every month, then the letters to her family started to be a very rare thing. She has always wanted to go back and visit but raising a family is expensive. So instead of focusing on the past she tucked her emotions deep inside her and looks on to a better future for my mother. It was a tough decision for her and I respect her for doing that for her family here. Now I am coming back to reconnect with the rest of my family." Allie looks over to Posoh and giggles for he has fallen asleep, his muzzle open straight up in the air. She then grabs her carry on pulling out a novel and begins to read Pulsing red lights fill the dim plane. Examining his surrounds, Posoh notices the stationary oxygen masks that were deployed. The absents of movement from the oxygen masks give him the idea that they have been deployed quite some time ago. The compartment above the seats were open and vacant of the passengers carry-on's. Looking over to the window near him, he sees his reflection. Past his reflection is a pitch black scenery. With absolutely no landmark of any kind to indicate where the plane could of landed. Posoh unbuckles himself form his seat and steps out into the aisle. The flashing lights disorientated him as he started to walk towards the front of the plane. Looking down each aisle as he passes, he notices that every seat seemed to be absent. As if there was never anybody there from the take-off. As he walks closer to the front of the plane the old smell of mold starts to fill the air, getting thicker as he proceeds to the front of the plane. Reaching the door from which he entered the plane on, he tried to open it. Pushing the door a little bit it seemed rock solid. Throwing his whole weight into the door wouldn't even budge it. With no way of opening the door Posoh proceeds to advance to further to the front of the plane. The cockpit door was left ajar, swaying in the still air. Entering the cockpit of the plane he can see a light through the front of the plane. A small shimmer of a blue light that started to grow, coming closer to the plane at a increasing speed. The light grew bigger and moving faster to the front of the plane hit's the window, creating a spider web crack in the window. As the crack started to spread across the window water started to leak. Posoh now realizing that the plane was submersed in water he starts to panic. The window under immense pressure shatters and the water starts to flow into the plane. Attempting to run to the back of the plane the ice cold water sweeps Posoh off his feet and starts to drag him to the back of the plane. Sliding head first down the aisle he picks up speed, where the distance between him and the back of the plane grows shorter and shorter. Sliding down the aisle the lights briefly shut off then turn back on right before he hit's the back wall of the plane. Posoh jumps from his seat but, the seat belt immediately whips him back into his chair. Waking up in a sweat and a saliva soaked shoulder, he begins to recollect himself. "good morning" Allie says with a smile beamed across her face " you have been out this whole trip. There is about half an hour of ride left" Posoh responding while groggy from his sleep " uh-huh" "well aren't you excited that this whole thing is almost over?" Finally realizes that what he has traveled so far for is about to come true. His facial expression went from sleepy to over excited. With a awkward grin on his face he lets out a small squeak. "well I will take that as a yes then" says Allie " so I told you my story... now what are you doing on this plane?" Posoh turns to Allie with a large smile on his face " I am meeting my mate for the first time" "oh... well who is the lucky lady?" Posoh's smile turns into a smirk and he responds " this she isn't a she but a he" "so your..." Posoh interrupts Allie shouting out " a homosexual!" Posoh's voice is heard through out the plane and people start to turn there attention to the source of the noise.
Allie giggles and says back " so who what does your man look like" she says with a smirk "He is a lion, a lot taller than I am. He is so cute, despite what he might say about his appearance he is a really cute guy" says Posoh "sounds like a great guy" "He really is... knows how to make me smile, laugh, blush... overall just makes me feel like there is a sense... some kind of direction in my life and it points to him. Honestly I am quite nervous to meet him" "I know how you feel... I am meeting a part of my family that I have never met before. How does some one handle that?" "Well...I guess we are about to find out very soon" says Posoh as he smiles Allie smiles as she says " yeah, your right" She then proceeds to point at Posoh's Drool stain then says "you might want to change out of that shirt before you see your mate" Posoh nods in agreement. Unbuckling himself from his seat then slides his carry on from under himself. Rummaging through the unorganized mess he pulls out a white slim fit tee with Owl City printed across the shirt. Zipping his bag back up he jumps out of his seat and move into the aisle, where he then proceeds to the bathrooms with his drool free shit in hand. Sliding the eggshell color door open he steps into a very uncomfortable bathroom he has ever been in. a window hung above the sink, while right net to it sat the toilet. Getting past his uncomforting feeling he steps into the bathroom and removes his dirty tee shirt and tosses it into the sink. He stands there in the cramped bathroom for a while just looking in the mirror. Picking at the imperfections on his fur, gently fixing what he thought was imperfect. Making sure every strand of hair is in the right place before he decides to throw on his clean tee-shirt. Looking at how the white tee rested on his body, he tugs on the bottom of the shirt removing the wrinkles from it. Then drawing his attention back to his hair. Moving each strand back to where he wants it to be. "This is your captain speaking. We will be landing in ten minutes and we need all passengers to return to there seats for landing." Posoh quickly grabs his shirt in the sink and heads back to his seat.
"what took so long?" says Allie "uhh...I was just freshening up a bit" Allie laughs a bit before saying "well I hope you are ready to meet you dreamy lion because, we will be there anytime now." Posoh smiles and checks his seatbelt to make sure he is buckled in, then turning his attention to the window. looking out on the dark foreign city light up in the crisp air. The feeling of butterflies and fear sit back in as Posoh sinks into his seat. "don't worry" allies says as she places her paw on Posoh's shoulder. "everything is going to be perfect. It takes a large commitment to do this... you two have to have something special to travel this distance so you can just see each other" Posoh raises himself out of his seat with a smile and says "your right" "now enjoy your descend into a city you will never forget." Posoh smiles as he watches out the window, watching the ground get closer to the plane. The further down the plane descended the faster the ground looked. Then before he knew it he felt the planes wheels hit the pavement of the run way. The instant the plane hit the ground everyone started to clap. Not only for the perfect and smooth landing, also that they were frankly sick of sitting on this plane. The air craft slowly rolled towards the gate as someone directed the plane in position to unload its passengers. The seatbelt light now turned off and on came the intercom. " I would like to thank you for flying with us today... I hope you all enjoy your stay here at Brussels, Belgium... please exit in an orderly fashion... and fly with us again." "we're here" Allie says smirking in Posoh's direction. " I really hope you and your lion have the time of your lives" Posoh giggles as he says " it should really be memorable. I hope you have a pleasant time with your family as well" Both Allie and Posoh unbuckle themselves from there seats and grab their carry on bags. Moving in a single file line toward the front of the plane the staff on the flight thanks every last one of the passengers saying 'thank you' or 'enjoy your stay' as the passengers exit the plane into the airport. Allie and Posoh both enter the busy Brussels airport and turn to each other. "Good luck" Allie says as she hugs Posoh. "Good luck to you too" Posoh says as he return Breaking the hugs they grab there bags and start to make their own paths in this foreign land. The suitcases start to appear off the little turning table. Posoh keeps a close watch looking for his suitcase that he packed on this trip. As each suitcase fell down onto the rotating table It would make a loud banging noise when it the wall. Countless numbers of suitcases exit the little tunnel that was bringing all the bags to the passengers. It took some time but then his suitcase appeared out of the tunnel. Posoh quickly recognizes his suitcase and grabs it just as fast as it appeared. Snatching the suitcase by the handle he quickly leaves the baggage area nudging through the wall of people who were awaiting for there bags. Finally walking into a clearing he heads to the exit carefully following the signs that were pointing him in the right direction. Each step bringing him close to what he has been looking for, something to fill the hole that has been lingering around. A person feel for the way they feel for you. The idea grew with desire the longer it sat in his head as nothing but a dream. Posoh started to move faster, covering more ground with longer strides and faster speed of his steps. Turning the corner the doors gleamed as the florescent lights shined on the cheap metal of the doors. As if it emitted an aura, presenting a chance for something bigger than the nearest multi millionaire in the airport. Stopping just yards before the illuminating doors he takes a few breaths in an attempt to steady his heart. Taking his final steps to the door he reaches out to the handle and pulls it open. The cool crisp winds of Brussels, Belgium welcomed him into the country as his eyes adjusted from the bright florescent lights. Posoh looks out at a road full of unknown faces, looking for the one that he has been waiting to see. Standing on the curb a paw reached out to his shoulder and grasps it tightly as a voice says "Posoh". His heart melts as his name enters his ears, body turns to putty as he turn to find who he has came so far to see. Posoh collapses into Stan's chest as he throws his arm around his neck. Stan places his paws around Posoh's head and holds him closely to his chest while they sit there in silence, enjoying the bliss of the moment. To actually touch what he has been needing overwhelms Posoh causing tears to crawl down his face and then soaking up in Stan's shirt. "I...I really can't believe you are here..." says Stan as he whispers Posoh lowers his arms to Stan's waist where he tightly wraps his arms around him pulling him in closer, then looking up with teary eyes smiling, then burring his face back into Stan's chest. Both of them standing on the busy airport sidewalk in silence, soaking up the bliss and satisfaction that both of them have been wanting for a long time. The world goes silent for a moment, as this new chapter starts.
