"Iggy, concentrate."
"Huh?"
Gazzy sighed at his companion. "You're usually not this unfocused, Ig. Now choose."
The blind bird-kid wrinkled his nose. "What were the choices again?"
"Jeez, there were only two to pick from! Red or blue?"
Iggy frowned. "Hmm, let's see, red or blue..."
The boy ran his sensitive fingers over the red one, feeling all the contours and turns in the object. He did the same with the blue, trying to decide.
"Iggy, what is taking so long?" Gazzy groaned impatiently. "It's a simple choice between two w–"
"Ah, but one must not rush choices such as this!" Iggy interrupted. Gazzy rolled his eyes and snorted.
So Iggy continued to contemplate the dilemma.
The red one?
His face broke out into a cold sweat.
Or...
This choice was really quite important. If he chose the wrong one, who knew what would happen?
The blue one?
A drop of sweat ran down the tip of his nose.
"I choose..."
Gazzy held his breath in anticipation.
"I choose..." Iggy ran his fingers over the two items one last time. "I choose red," he finally said.
"Angel!" Gazzy called.
His sister came tumbling into the room. "I know, he chose red, right? Oh, this'll be so great!" she exclaimed cheerfully. Then she ran right back out again.
Gazzy smiled beatifically. "Max'll be so happy. The ultimate birthday present: a brand-spanking-new red watch."
Iggy just breathed out a sigh of relief.
A/N: I was trying to go for humor, but since everyone knows how bad I am at that, maybe it turned out as horror instead. 0.o
