Summary: Max and the flock stop at a cave for the night. Max is on first watch, watching the stars while someone watches her. Fang/Max

Wish upon a star

…...

Max's POV

I sat there, staring at the clear sky. I was on first watch like usual. I like having this time to think about everything that's been going on. I never sort out much though.

I sighed and got up to look in on the flock. Angel and Total were curled out in one corner of the cave, with Nudge and Gazzy close by. Iggy was not far away, using a backpack as a pillow.

I looked over at Fang at the other side of the cave, as far from everyone as possible but still close enough to be by their side in a second. I think he's asleep but its hard to tell with him. I turn to look back at the sky, and sighed again.

Fang's POV.

I watched her as she looked at the sky, lost in her own world.

'So much for keeping watch' I thought but I can't say anything about it because she works so hard for everyone but herself.

When she came in to check on the little ones, I pretended to sleep. I didn't need her worrying about why I'm not sleeping.

I waited for her walk back out side, trying to hold back a yawn. 'Time for me to take watch' I thought, though I wanted to watch her a little longer since she looked so calm.

I stood up and walked towards her, as silent as usual.

Max's POV.

I jumped slightly when Fang seemingly appeared beside me.

"Go rest. I'll take over." Ugh. He should be famous for his short sentences.

"I'm fine, not tired at all." I tried to convince him but failed when I yawned again.

"Go."

"I'm fine" I insisted. I'm not going to be able to sleep anyways.

"Fine." He sat down next to me and looked out at the sky. I cast my gaze back out just in time to see a shooting star.

I closed my eyes and made a wish. 'I wish that the flock and me stay together forever, and if possible, a kiss from Fang' Whoops! That wasn't supposed to be in the wish!

I know the first part will come true with or without the stars help but you could never be too careful. The second…not to sure.

What I didn't know was that Fang was making a wish to.

Fang's POV.

I saw the star at the same time Max did. I also knew what she would be wishing for.

Why not make a wish too? Couldn't hurt. 'I wish that Max and I can stay together with the flock forever. Also, if it's ok, a kiss from Max.' Crap. It was out there before I could stop it. Thank god that it was only a silly wish, though I wouldn't mind if it came true.

She looked so pretty with the moon and star light on her. My Max is so beautiful.
Wait! What? My Max? Where did that come from?

Max's POV.

When I finished my wish I looked over at Fang to see his eyes close and his lips moving slightly. I think I know what he's wishing for.

He looked so handsome sitting there. No one could compare to my Fang. Ummm…did I just say my? Oh well. I guess, in a way, he is mine. He belongs to my flock, my family.

When he opened his eyes and looked over at me, I realized how close we were sitting. I didn't move back though. It felt nice to be close to him.

I can't tell you what made me lean closer, but I found myself moving towards him. Our faces kept moving closer till they were just inches apart, then I hesitated.

Fang's POV.

I saw her coming closer and I moved towards her, hoping that my accidental wish was coming true.

She hesitated. My only thought was 'I wasn't go to lose this chance' and I closed the remaining space.

I never thought that her lips would be so soft and warm.

I wanted this to never end but even genetically altered bird kids needed to breath.

As we broke apart, she whispered, "Wow" and I had to agree. Wow.

I was going to kiss her again when we heard clapping and cheers behind us.

We both blushed and slowly turned around. The flock was standing in the cave opening, cheering.

Angel said, "Its about time!"

Both POV.

"Maybe that wish upon a star wasn't such a bad idea after all."
