Sick Day
Maximum Ride
"Urgh." Max groaned as she tossed and turned in bed.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon and Max was hopefully done throwing up for the day. Her head was pounding, her nose running, and her body was shivering like there was no tomorrow. She groaned again.
"God I hate Antarctica!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the room. She sighed heavily.
Standing from her bed, she slipped her slippers on and walked out the door. Walking only a few short feet down the hall, she stopped at the door and knocked lightly.
"It's open." She heard gruffly. She opened the door and stepped in, her back toward the other occupant. She could feel his eyes on her back as she shut the door. She turned around when it was closed and put a sad puppy type face on.
"Fang." She started. "I know you're mad at me, but I think I'm dying." She said, her voice distorted by her stuffy nose. Fang sighed with what looked like a small smile on his face. He scooted over on his bed as a sign for her to join him. She did so and snuggled up to him as he wrapped his arm around her.
They sat in a comfortable silence for a while until Max decided to speak up.
"Fang?" she asked.
"Yea?" he asked.
"I know that I've been avoiding you, and everything you've been trying to tell me,but…"
"Max, you don't have to…."
"No, please just listen." She said sitting up. "I do care about you, the way you say you care about me. It's just… I have this feeling, ya know… I'm so afraid I'll loose you, and I don't think I could survive if that happened. You've been my best friend since we were two, you're everything to me." She finished. Fang smiled lightly.
"Max, you'll never loose me." He said.
"But what if I screw it up?" she exclaimed. Fang chuckled. "It's not funny?" Max defended.
Fang grabbed Max's hand and pulled her across his lap. Leaning in he captured her lips with his. When they pulled apart Max rested her head on Fang's shoulder.
"I love you." Fang said.
"I love you, too."
The Next Day
ACHOO!!
"Max I'm going to kill you." Fang said, his voice distorted by his stuffy nose.
"Hey, you kissed me, remember…Fang-ALATOR." She spat.
Fang smirked.
"Hey, since we're both sick…." Fang started, Max cut him off.
"No!" she exclaimed.
