Iggy sighed walking down the street. The white snow of the approaching holiday lining his path. Yes, it's Christmas weekend. Couples kissing and holding hands. People buying gifts for family and friends. Iggy sighed again, he hated this holiday. Its not that he didn't like the presence and the family stuff. He just hated that this holiday reminded him that he was single.
Ella had left him a few months back for some guy named Shawn, or Dawn, or some stupid shit. Before he could figure out what was happening he was suddenly jumped on by a very exited person. Though he had no clue as to whom they were they seemed to know him. And without his glasses Iggy was mostly blind. Only able to see the outlines of people and feel colors like he used too.
"Iggy! What are you doing down here? Why aren't you with Gazzy? I told you to stay with Gaz!"Iggy looked over his shoulder to see Fang looking at him. He looked so happy and he was... smiling? How the hell he had gotten here was beyond him. He was supposed to be with Max and there unborn child. Yup Max was big and fat with a baby.
"Fang what are you doing here? Is Max here? Is anyone else with you?"Iggy asked looking around for anyone around him. Fang seemed confused and backed off him.
"What do you mean? The clone left with Jeb? Don't you remember anything at all? Did you hit your head on the way down here?"Fang lifted his hand to Iggy's head to check him. Iggy suddenly stepped back. Who the hell was this guy?"Iggy?"
"Who the heck are you? Your not Fang,"sudden realization dawned on him,"You're... a clone. From the school. You're another Fang, aren't you?"he could sense the other Fang frown, and knew he was right. This was not the Fang he lived with for 17 years, but he seemed different somehow. More bright, more cheery.
"You're not Iggy. Not the one I know at least, you must be the original. No wonder your so different,"Fang 2 started to back away. Not sure what this Iggy was planing or going to do with him. Before he could turn and make a run for it, Iggy grabbed his hand and tugged him along to a near by toy store. Fang 2 didn't say anything just followed along. He wanted to run, yes, make a brake for it, yes, but something drew him to this Iggy. Something made him feel safe, like he could trust this guy.
Iggy turned to Fang 2, he hadn't moved, but he could feel his anxiety coming off in waves. When suddenly it all disappeared, leaving no trace behind. Iggy turned to him, holding up a Ferbe in one hand and a Barbie Movie in the other,"Which one do you think Angel will like more?"Fang looked back and forth between the two before pointing at the Ferbe. Iggy nodded in agreement and placed the toy under his next toy was a Bop It for Gaz. He loved the crazy twists and turns the toy had on it, he also loved how interactive the game was, and how he could gloat about how good he was at it.
After Fang 2 and Iggy bought the toys, they went a few stores down to a hair parlor. There they picked up pink hair dye, and multiple make-up kits for Nudge. She had started to get into the whole 'experimenting with make-up and hair styles' faze a while back. For Dylan and Maya, whom were apart of the flock now and were about to get married, were awarded some baby books and movies that Dylan liked. For Total they got a bunch of dog toys and little bones for his pups and mate. For Ella, Iggy got hair accessories. He didn't get anything for whats-his-face.
Max and Fang were a different story. Iggy and Fang 2 had to think hard about what to get them. Since they were already married and had a home with everything they needed they decided to start looking for things for their baby. They bought multiple toys, such as rattles and teething interments. They also bought baby clothes and diapers to get them started on there new adventure. Next they got Ms. M new kitchen supplies, since Iggy kind of destroyed them a few years ago due to a cherry bomb fight with Gaz. Lastly, they grabbed Jeb so action movies and new coffee cup since Gaz broke his a few days back.
Throughout there whole shopping trip, Iggy told Fang all about his flock and there adventures. The Erasers, Ari, the Fly Boy, having to go under water to save Max's mom, everything. He especially spoke found of his old home and his bombs. Fang 2 would laugh and comment every now and again, even speaking of his flock and how they acted. Apparently Nudge 2 acted more like Angel, Angel 2 acted more like Max, Iggy 2 acted more like Fang, Fang 2 acted more like Iggy, and Gazzy 2 acted more like Total. He had the more sarcastic act about him and he always complained about everything.
By the time they were done shopping, it was getting dark. Which said a lot it being winter time and Iggy being a slacker, but, then again, he never had anyone to talk to and hang around with when he was shopping. Nor someone to give there opinion on things. This Fang was much easier to deal with then the other Fang. Much happier and more talkative.
"Well, Iggy, its been great getting to know you and everything, but I think I should go looking for the others, they might be looking for me too,"Fang 2 gave him a smile and went to leave, but Iggy grabbed him.
"Oh no your not! I need help taking this crap to my place, when your done with that then you can leave,"in reality Iggy didn't want to see him go, but he would never say that out loud. Especially to this or any Fang. Fang 2 smirked agreeing to help Iggy take his crap home. They split the bags and went to a secluded ally way. There they released there wings and took flight. Iggy took them back to his apartment, luckily it had a balcony so they didn't have to land far away from there.
"Its been a pleasure meeting you Iggy and I'd love too see you again sometime, but for now I have to go,"Fang 2 gently hugged Iggy before setting the bags down and leaving. Iggy froze not believing what just happened. Fang 2 just, he just... left. Couldn't he have stayed longer or something? Did he really have to go so soon? Though he had only just met Fang 2 the loss of him was greater then when Ella left him for what's-his-face.
Iggy sighed knowing that this was going to happen. Fang 2 had his own Flock he had to care for, he didn't need him, he already had an Iggy. That thought just made him feel worse about loosing Fang 2.
The rest of that night went agonizingly slow and there was nothing to take Iggy's mind off of Fang 2. He felt happy with Fang 2, really happy. And now that he was gone it made Iggy think. Maybe he liked Fang 2, had an attraction for him even. He knew he was attracted to both sexes since a few weeks after he started dating Ella. But the thought of being attracted to a Fang- no, this wasn't Fang. He was so much a happier and brighter. When he talked it made Iggy melt. When he stood close it made Iggy shiver in what only could be called anticipation, he was waiting for Fang 2 to make the first move. To get close, to touch him, to whisper to him. Iggy suddenly gasped, what was he thinking? He couldn't have... those thoughts for him... could- the perching sound of the telephone broke him out of his thoughts.
Quickly he stumbled over to the phone and answered,"Hello, Iggy residence Iggy speaking."
"Yo Ig, its Fang. Max wants to know if you finished your shopping for everyone,"Iggy sighed into the phone, Fang 2.
"Yeah I got all the stuff, how about you guys? Do you have everything you need?"Iggy asked more or less trying to make conversation. He really didn't care, but he knew one thing for sure. He only had an attraction for one Fang, Fang 2. Which was now much easier to deal with knowing he didn't feel that way for both Fangs. All he needed to do now was find Fang 2. And give him a new name because Fang was not going to work, especially if him and Iggy were going to become whatever fate had in store for them.
"Yeah we got everything, you're coming to the Christmas party a Max's moms right?"Fang asked simply. He knew Ella and her new boyfriend were going to be there and he was worried about Iggy, in a friend way. He knew how much it hurt Iggy when Ella broke up with him and he didn't want to see Iggy go through that again.
"Yeah, I'll be there and I may have someone with me. So don't be surprised if you see a familiar face with me, anyway got to go. It's getting late and I have something to do tomorrow,"Iggy hung up before Fang could say anything more. Iggy put on his glasses and checked the time. It was 10,21. Iggy decided it was too late to go out and look for Fang 2 so he'd have to look in the morning.
He quickly showered, shaved, and got dressed for bed. He wore simple blue and white stripped pajama bottoms and no shirt. He liked to air dry his wings, it felt nice to let the air touch them every now and again instead of letting them be tucked away all day, mostly.
Iggy was just about to go to sleep with thoughts of a new name Fang 2 could have, when suddenly there was a tapping on his balcony door. Not knowing who it could be this late, and not really caring for that matter, Iggy put on his glasses and when out to his living room. Almost having a heart attack from who he saw standing there.
"Fang? Fang?!"Iggy ran to the door and threw it open. Fang 2 gave him a smile before falling on his knees. He was bloody and battered with his hair all a mess, but he was still able to make it back to Iggy.
"Hey Iggy, sorry to do this to ya, but could I stay the night? I don't think my wings will be able to make it to a motel. Or anywhere else for that matter,"he chuckled.
"What happened to your Flock? The others?"Fang looked down regretfully.
"Don't know, either they were taken or left me, but either way I got the crap beat out of me by some Erasers. Tough puppies they are,"Fang 2 and Iggy looked at each other before laughing at Fang 2's stupid joke. Fang 2 suddenly grabbed his side and hissed.
"Fang!"Iggy yelled as he collapsed in front of him. Iggy took him to the shower and washed the blood and grime off before dressing him in his clothes. He bandaged the wounds best he could and placed Fang on his bed. He certainly wasn't going to sleep on the floor and so crawled in bed with Fang 2.
Unknown to the two as they slept, Iggy snuggled into Fang 2's side. Placing his head on Fang 2's chest. Fang 2, in turn, wrapped an arm around Iggy pulling him closer. Wanting to feel his warmth against him.
