Part 33:
Flights of Friendship
They made it back to Belford a few hours before dawn. Flying west always gave them a little bit of extra time. They stayed in the trees as they drew closer. Despite the last few hours of peace, humans were still a major threat. They landed and spread out in the trees while Changmin ordered a few scouts.
Changmin, Leeteuk and Kyuhyun went north and Eunhyuk, Kibum and Shindong went south, searching the trees around Changmin’s compound.
We have ten armed humans about two miles south, Eunhyuk reported.
Do not approach them, Changmin ordered. Search for more.
Eunhyuk sent back an affirmative. A few minutes later, both parties announced the all clear and they returned to the trees.
Changmin landed in a branch near Yoochun. It looks like they didn’t get the announcement that the ADS has been disbanded.
Do we leave them be? Hangeng asked.
Changmin didn’t reply, thinking.
It might be a good idea to let them know we’re here, Leeteuk said.
But we don’t want to scare them, Kyuhyun said.
Why not? Heechul demanded. Rough them up a little, show them they can’t control us.
I like that idea, Shindong said.
Just a second, Changmin said and launched from his branch.
Minnie! Junsu protested.
I’ll be right back. I just need to look at their electronic equipment.
He’s such a dick, Junsu said with a pout.
You like his dick, Yunho said.
Junsu stuck his tongue out at him. Only five minutes later, Changmin was back.
Easy. A single Tech will take out their electronics. They have two mini-copters, and they are all carrying guns. We go and surround them, drop the grenade and then introduce ourselves.
They are going to panic, Ryeowook said.
They’ll panic if we just walk out of the trees without disabling their equipment, Changmin replied. I’d rather not get shot if I can help it. Once is enough for me.
Junsu snorted, and the mates exchanged something private that made Junsu snort again and say, Arrogant bitch.
Let’s go, Changmin said and took off, leading the way to the clearing the humans were in. He directed everyone in a circle at the tree line and then flew up high and fast and dropped one of the Techgrenades. It exploded and the electronic pulse was a little anticlimactic since every human there automatically dropped their weapons and ripped off their night vision goggles.
Explain to me why we love humans again, Heechul muttered.
Food, Siwon said.
Right.
Changmin stepped into the clearing, black wings partially spread. The rest waited only ten seconds, long enough for every human’s attention to go to Changmin, and then stepped out.
“Don’t hurt us,” a human said quickly.
“We won’t,” Changmin replied. “Who are you?”
“I am Youngsaeng.”
“Are you part of the ADS?”
“Y-yes.”
“What are your current orders?”
“Same as they have always been. Seek and Destroy.”
Changmin spread his arms. “None of us are armed, but we’re still alive. Why?”
“We-we … we’ve been following the news, and if you can break into a compound, we … we don’t stand a chance.”
“No, you don’t,” Changmin said. He walked forward, and the humans shuffled back until they realized there were Avixiary all around them. “We aren’t going to hurt you, but you’re all still so afraid. We understand. Your media has spread some awful rumors about us.” He stopped just in front of Youngsaeng and bowed. “I am Changmin of the Shim Avixiary Clan, year 1993. My mate is Junsu of the Kim Avixiary Clan, year 1992.”
Youngsaeng looked very surprised, but after exchanging glances with his comrades, he bowed and muttered his name again.
Changmin straightened. “We will be living in these forests. There are only eighteen of us, nineteen including Minho, who is our feeder. We would appreciate it if you would allow to stay without the threat of being harmed.”
Youngsaeng still appeared confused, but he said, “Allow you?”
“Yes. Allow us. Your electronics are fried, but eventually you’ll get a hold of your superiors and you can either tell them we’re here, or you can keep that information to yourself. Most of the residents of Belford don’t mind Avixiary, as we have all lived here before. So it’s up to you and your … death squad.”
Junsu stifled his laughter, and Changmin shot him a look.
Youngsaeng nodded. “We will not betray you, since you have spared our lives.”
“We aren’t monsters, Youngsaeng-shi. We are beings, just like you. We love and hurt. We want to be free and live with our mates. Do you have a mate?”
Youngsaeng’s gaze flickered to one of the other men nearby him and he swallowed roughly and nodded.
Changmin grinned. “Then you understand.”
“Yes. We understand.”
“Good. Now. The sun is about to rise, and I do not want to go unconscious right here, so we’ll leave you all alone. It was a pleasure meeting you, and if you’re around later, then we’ll all introduce ourselves.”
Changmin bowed again, and they all emulated him. He stepped back, snapped his wings open and jumped into the air.
“He’s kind of a showoff,” Yunho said to the startled humans.
“He’s kind of a dick,” Junsu muttered. “Seriously, why is he my mate?”
Yunho clapped him on the shoulder as they walked away from the humans. “Because you’re kind of a dick too.”
Junsu snarled and Yunho laughed and ran into the trees, Junsu chasing him. Junho wasn’t far behind. Yoochun laughed and put his arm around Jaejoong and steered him toward the tress.
“That’s it?” one of the humans said.
Yoochun stopped and turned back. “What do you mean?”
Youngsaeng glared at the one who had spoken, but it did not deter him. “Aren’t … you … going to drink from us?”
“We’re not monsters,” Yoochun said, “and we will not feed on humans without their permission. If you want one of us to, we will, but we aren’t going to attack you for it. Come, my mate. It’s almost dawn.”
Yoochun disappeared in the trees with Jaejoong. Only seconds later, the sound of the humans arguing hit his ears. He thought of staying to listen in, but the sun was rising fast, the sky was a lighter shade of black, and Jaejoong was already feeling drowsy. They walked quickly, but Jaejoong kept stumbling.
Yoochun stopped and directed Jaejoong to his back. He easily lifted his mate. Jaejoong wrapped his arms around Yoochun’s neck and hummed, sleepy and content, against his neck. Yoochun smiled and hummed back. He carried him to the compound. Changmin met him at the entrance.
“You could have flown back like everyone else,” Changmin said.
Yoochun grinned. “And miss this chance to be close to my mate without the rest of you? No thanks.”
“We’ve decided to be safe and have everyone sleep here today,” he said as the door closed behind them. “So we’re sharing a room again.”
“Okay.” Yoochun followed Changmin down the halls to their room. Junho, like Jaejoong was already asleep. He lay on his stomach, wings twitching. Yunho ran his fingers through his wings. Yoochun carefully put Jaejoong down next to him and crawled in after. The bed dipped behind him as Changmin and Junsu joined them. Their limbs entwined and their breathing steadied.
Yoochun settled against Junsu’s heat behind him, and felt Changmin’s hands on his waist. He tried to pull Jaejoong closer, but Junho had him wrapped up tightly in his sleep. Yunho saw his predicament and smiled and pushed Junho closer and therefore Jaejoong. Yoochun smiled as Jaejoong nuzzled against his chest, he pressed a kiss to his mate’s head and let himself sleep.
Unsurprisingly, Changmin was out of bed first. Junsu whimpered and tried to get him to stay, but Changmin kissed his mate’s cheek, whispered that he would be back and left the room. Junsu pouted and flung himself to the heated spot Changmin had left on the bed. He curled in a ball and gathered a pillow in his arms. Yoochun tried to go back to sleep, but with the way Changmin had been running them the last few nights, it was hard to get comfortable; it felt like he should be up and away and doing something productive.
Yoochun rolled to Junsu. Go cuddle with Jaejoong. I’m going to go see what your stubborn mate is planning.
Drag him back here.
I’ll try.
Yoochun pressed a kiss to Jaejoong’s forehead and comforted the mild distress in his mate’s link. He climbed from the bed, accidentally waking Yunho. He was mildly surprised to see Yunho get out of bed, too. He’d barely left Junho’s side unless he had to.
They went down the tunnel and found Changmin in the main room, pondering the monitors. Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun and Shindong were there too watching the screens. Soft snores echoed from the far side of the room where Kibum and Sungmin had curled up to sleep.
“What’s going on?” Yoochun asked. Just to get a reaction from him, he put his arms around Changmin’s waist from behind.
But Changmin did not push him away and instead, leaned into his body. “I’m trying to figure out what the humans are doing.”
“What are they doing?”
“Not much. The President made an announcement that all Avixiary were free of the compounds, and told the humans not to panic, but it’s not helping much. There are riots in Incheon and Seoul and Busan.”
“There aren’t even any Avixiary in those cities,” Kyuhyun said.
Changmin nodded. “We know that. They don’t know that.”
“Are you thinking of making an announcement?” Eunhyuk asked.
Changmin’s wings flexed under Yoochun and he relaxed his hold, but Changmin grabbed his arms and kept him there. Yunho snorted.
“I think I’m going to have to. Not all the humans are going to act like Youngsaeng. Obviously they aren’t,” he pointed to a screen that showed an aerial view of the devastation in the streets of Seoul. “But it’s going to wait until tomorrow. I can’t say I really care about the humans rioting right now.”
“Some might die,” Kyuhyun said.
“Yeah. Same with those in this bunker.” He turned around Yoochun’s arms. “Junsu is going to kill you.”
Yoochun grinned. “I’m supposed to drag you back to bed, so I’m doing this on his orders.”
Changmin rolled his eyes. “What about you?” he asked Yunho.
Yunho shrugged. “You woke me up.”
“Come on,” Yoochun said. “We left our mates in a gorgeous sleeping pile in the middle of a gigantic bed. I want to go back to that.”
Changmin smirked and walked, Yoochun going backwards. “After hundreds of years, you’re finally showing some intelligence.”
“We balance each other out, because you keep getting stupider.”
“Where does that leave Yunho?” Changmin asked.
“Insane,” Yunho said. He opened the door for them, and grinned at their sleeping mates. “You two make me insane.”
Junsu looked over and pouted at Changmin and Yoochun together. “They make me insane too. Why do we love them?”
Yunho shrugged. He climbed on Junsu’s side the bed and pressed a light kiss to his lips.
Changmin snorted, but said nothing. Yunho kissed Jaejoong’s cheek, before climbing over his mate and to his original position on the bed. He carefully untangled them and Junho woke up only long enough for a kiss.
Yoochun grinned and climbed over Jaejoong, covering his body even as he kissed his mate’s shoulder.
Changmin did not go for gentle. He cupped his mate’s face and forced a kiss on him, pulling him from the bed. “You guys can sleep. We are going to go take a bath.”
Junsu smiled. “And you are going to tell me I was right.”
“About what?” Changmin asked.
“The bathroom is more soothing because it’s blue.”
Changmin smiled widely and nodded. “Yes. You are right. But I want you in that tub and I want inside you, and I want to fuck you so hard that you won’t be able to see that it’s blue.”
Junsu shivered as Changmin picked him up. They left the room, the door shutting with a snap.
Yoochun smiled at Yunho and then rolled into MinSu’s vacated spot. He cuddled up with Jaejoong and said, “I call dibs on the bathroom next.”
“Molted.”

Twenty four hours later, every television screen in every room in every building in Korean flickered, and then cleared. On screen was a familiar sight: Avixiary. But now it was different. Before they’d all worn black bandanas, but now their faces were displayed.
“Good evening,” the one in the middle said. It was the same voice as all the other announcements. “I am Changmin from the Shim Avixiary Clan of 1993, and this is my mate Junsu. On behalf of all the Avixiary, I would like to apologize to the general populace of Korea. I know many of you are frightened and many of you are worried about your loved ones and children. Please don’t be.
"Your government has been lying about us, and about what and who we are. Avixiary are private people. We like trees and rivers and mountains. Those who live in a city will probably never see an Avixiary in their life, so please stop rioting. It’s doing more damage than good, and humans are being killed. Also, Avixiary don’t feed on humans without their permission. Of course, we have made exceptions for this. I personally drank heavily from a human that tried to kill my mate. We are like you in that regard. We will protect our own as much as we can.
"I have been told I talk too much on many occasions, and I guess I do. But I am only worried about the humans. We are worried about you, because of the lies that your government has told you. We will not hunt you down. We will not attack you. We will not kill you. We will not force you to become as we are. We do not want you to live in fear of us. We do not want you to hate us. But we are unwilling to live by rules or in cages. We are sorry that we need humans to survive, but there isn’t anything we can do about that.
"I hope that you will forgive us for wanting to be free. And I hope that you will continue to fight for your own freedoms against an oppressive government. I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Enjoy the warmth of the sun, and in a few hours, I will enjoy the coolness of the night under the glow of the moons.”
The televisions flickered again, and returned to the regular programming.
