Hey everyone! Well, this is my first fanfic so be nice and please review. Please, no flames! Criticism I can take, but nice criticism please. Anyway, right now it's a oneshot. Tell me if I should make it longer. It's my favorite part of MAX, Chapter 71, in Fang's Point of View. Enjoy and please R&R!

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of the characters in this story. Heck, I don't even own the plot line. If it's a oneshot.

Fang's POV

I watched Max walk toward the air-lock chamber. I knew what she was doing.

And I knew she had to do it. As much as it killed me to let her.

I watched her press the pressure pad. I watched her walk into the chamber.

And I watched Brigid try and stop her. Panicking—I was afraid Max would do something stupid—I walked toward them. As I did, I heard Brigid saying, "…best thing would be for us to get out of her, fast, before they start attacking the whole sub. Remember what they did to the Minnesota? This one is so much smaller and more vulnerable." Was she seriously suggesting we leave Angel? To die? Max—much less myself—wouldn't allow that.

Sure enough, max snarled, "I have to get Angel." That's my Max. I smiled inwardly at the mention of my Max.

"Max—you can't help her." Brigid's voice sounded strained. Like she was going to cry. But seriously, did she honestly expect us to just let Angle die? Angel may act like the devil incarnate sometimes but she's family. Our family.

"I'm not leaving her." I recognized Max's threatening position—as discreet as it was. She used that stance on me plenty of times.

"If it's not too late," she continued, "then I'm bringing back her body. Either way, I'm not leaving without her." She glanced at all of us—the flock, Captain Perry, John Abate, and Brigid—and added, "So suck it up and get out of my way."

John was the first to give in. he stared at Max—my Max—for a long moment and nodded. He stepped out of the air-lock chamber, touching Captain Perry's arm along the way. Captain Perry frowned before stepping out as well.

"Brigid," John said quietly. Tears were rolling down her cheeks but she let go of Max's arm and stepped out, the flock following her lead. Except me. I didn't move. I stood in front of her, not really sure why I had stayed. I wasn't going to stop her.

But something told me to stay. So I did.

I noticed her hands curl into fists. I smiled as I remembered the wrestling matches we used to have. She looked ready to kill.

I wanted to kiss her. I'd her win. Because I love her.

It hit me right then how much I really did love her. She was my soul mate, my perfect match. Huh, I thought. Must be why I needed to stay.

I just hoped she realized that soon.

"Go on," she said, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Try to stop me. I dare you."

I blinked. "I was just going to say be careful." I stepped a little closer and bushed some hair out of her eyes. She was so beautiful; she took my breath away. "And—I've go your back." I nodded toward the torpedo chamber.

A look of shock crossed her face, followed by pure joy and then love. She was staring at me, with wonder. Was she honestly realizing—at this moment no less—that she did love me?

Again, I wanted to kiss her, but I knew she'd have my hide if I did in front of everyone.

Then she did the most peculiar thing: she kissed me. Yes, she did. Throwing her arms around my neck, her lips found mine. I was startled at first, but then I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her tightly against me. It felt amazing.

"ZOMG," I heard Nudge whisper. But I didn't pull away and, to my surprise, neither did Max.

I slanted my head to deepen the kiss and get closer to her. I wanted to stand her, kiss her for all of eternity. But we both knew that she had to go—and face almost certain death.

Or so they say, however, my Max always comes back.

Reluctantly, she pulled away, and studied me. I didn't know what expression was on my face. If it was showing my emotions, it would be one of awe, love, and joy.

That's right, people. I, Fang, am in love with the one and only Maximum Ride. Sorry, girls, I'm taken.

"Gotta go," Max breathed.

A small smile appeared on my face. "Yeah. Hurry back." So I can kiss you, embrace you, love you… I added in my thoughts.

I backed up very slowly, memorizing her features, her face. My eyes never left her as I backed up and closed the chamber.

It was quiet after the door closed.

Iggy broke the awkward silence. "Exactly how long has this been going on?"

I cracked a smile.
