My FIRST Story!
Max's POV
"Fang!" I screamed as my best friend ran through MY house with MY notebook.
You see, my name is Maximum May-Alex Martinez/Ride. (Complicated name, right?) My father, Jeb Batchelder, was a world renouned scientist. He spent years searching for ways to mix human and animal DNA. When his colleagues called him a quack, he retired and started experimenting on moi. He started when I was 2 and ended when I was 5, the same day I met Fang. Not that I'm complaining. Me and Fang got a lot closer then. Not long after, my parents got divorced. After that, my mother remarried a man named Andrew Ride, and they had my half-sister, Ella Ride (A/N:I tried my best to get the age difference close but It's not the same. I is sorry! Just PRETEND that Ella is a year younger than Max.) I took Andrew's last name, being ashamed of Jeb's, and we've lived happily as a family ever since.

"You are SO dead, Nicholas Alexander Novia!" I yelled, knowing Fang's full name annoyed him. Fang abruptly stopped, turning on his heal to look at me. I stopped running, and stared back.
'You can't beat me.'
Fang looked me dead in the eye and said, "You're just staring at my awesomeness." I snorted. "You wish I would."
By this time, our friends, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy had walked over. The Flock, as Nudge called us, watched in amazement as me and Fang went at it... again. "You wish, I wished." Fang, lamely, retaliated.
I laughed and crossed my arms. "Fang, you wish that me and MY awesomeness would stare at YOU." I said, matter-of-factly. I could faintly hear Iggy going, "OH!"
Fang chuckled, walking closer, and said, "Maximum May-Alex Ride,stop denying the amazing, sexy person that is Fang!" This caused me to fall to the ground, laughing. I could hear the flock laughing, too. Fang cracked a smirk. After a few minutes of Laughing. My. Ass. Off. I stood, wiped my butt off, and walked up to Fang. Fang looked confused for a second, then masked his emotions again. I stood face- to-face (or face-to-chest) with him. I looked him in the eyes and said, "I win," snatching my notebook and running away.
I had been running while laughing, and accidently smacked into a hard chest.
A/N: I was going to stop here, but Imma' be nice.
I opened my eyes and came face-to-face with Sam. "Sammy!" I yelled, wrapping my arms around his neck. He instnatly hugged back, and squealed, "Maxi-Poo! You Haven't changed a bit!" Sam, then, released me, allowing me to do the same. Fang was instantly beside me, almost glaring at Sam. 'Ummmmmmm... Okay?' "Fang, this is Sam. Sammy, this is Fang." I said, holding onto Fang's hand. Sam looked at our hands, and I sware, his face Lit. Up. " Maxi! You didn't tell me you were dating such hot stuff!" Sam squealed, winking at Fang. Fang's grip on my hand got tighter, and said, " We're not DATING." Silence feel on the three of us, until Iggy yelled, " Sam, We're working on it!"
"Iggy! Shut up before I beat you with Nudge's high heels!" I yelled, getting ready to get said high heels. Before I could even start walking, Fang's toned arms wrapped around my waist, holding me back. I thrashed in his arms, but he didn't budge. I sighed and calmed down, as an idea popped into my head. I flipped around in Fang's hold so I was facing him, and said, "Fang, can I please beat Iggy with a high heel?" I said softly, batting my eyelashes. Fang's cheeks turned pink, but he stayed strong. "No, Max. You stay here and talk to Sam, while I go take care of Iggy." Fang bargained, using his own version of bambi eyes. "Damnit. Fine." Fang chuckled and released me, walking over to Iggy. I heard him raise his voice, so I knew he was taking care of it. When Sam realized this too, he started screaming. " ZOMG! MAXI! YOUARESOOOOOOOOOINLOVE ICAN'! YOUTWOAREPERFECTOGETHER!"
It took me a minute to process this. 'God, I'm slow.'
"Sam, calm down. What did you say?" I said, using hand gestures. Sam face-palmed. "Max! Fang is in love with you! Can't you see how he was glaring at me as if he didn't know I was gay, and he held on tighter when I thought you two were dating, and how he held you in his arms! UGH! SO romantic!" Sam babbled, ending with a dramatic sigh. My face turned beat red.
"Sam! There is nothing going on between Fang and I." I tried to reason. Sam sighed but didn't push the subject further.
We walked back to the flock to find Fang sitting with a smug look on his face on top of Iggy, who was face down on the ground, thrashing around, screeching 'Uncle' like a little girl. I smiled and held out my hand for Fang to take. Fang grabbed my hand... and pulled me down so I was in his lap. I blushed furiously and tried to stand up, only to be held down by Fang snaking his arms around my waist. "Fang! I sware, I'll beat YOU with Nudge's heels if you DO NOT let GO!" Fang chuckled... Asshole.
Fang stood up, me still in his arms, and walked over to our pool.
Shit.
"Fang! NO!" I screamed, trying to get him to stop. Fang just chuckled and was about to throw me in, when he heard crying. From me.
"Max?" Fang said softly, sitting on the ground with me in his lap. I wimpered in pain and pulled myself closer to his chest. "Max!" Fang started to smooth out my hair, and rocked me back and forth in his lap. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stop the tears, but it just made me cry more. I started balling when I heard Fang tell the others he was taking me to my room. A few moments later, I was on my bed, curled up in a ball against Fang's chest. "Max, are you okay, now?" Fang asked after about a minute of silence. "Ye-yeah." I stuttered, sitting up to look into Fang's eyes. I'd never noticed before, but Fang had little golden flecks in his eyes. "Fang, will you sing to me, like you did when we were little?" I asked, looking hopeful. Fang smiled, getting his Ipod out. I was bouncing in my bed, my breakdown seconds ago completely forgotten, and started clapping and giggling like a little girl. Fang laughed and started to sing my favorite song.
(Fireflies by Owlcity. Lyrics From: .)
"You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
I started to sing along with Fang, without knowing it.[Max in ( )]
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams"
When Fang stopped singing, I stared at him wide-eyed. "You have an a amazing voice." Fang said to me, as I said it to him. I chuckled and laid my head down on his lap. "Max, I-I" Fang stuttered, scratching the back of his neck. I giggled at how cute he looked when he was nervous. Fang's cheeks tinted a slight pink before he continued. "Max, have I ever told you how amazing you are?" Fang asked, giving me one of his award winning smiles. "Fang, you shouldn't tell your best friend lies." I said, poking him in the chest, playfully. "I'm not lying. I'm completely serious, Max, your amazing in every way." Fang said, lifting his hand to my face, rubbing his thumb across my cheek. "Fang, that's not possible."
"How is that not possible?"
"Because! Nothing about me is perfect!"
"Max! You are so stubborn! Everything about you is perfect!"
"Oh, yeah? Like what?"
"Your beautiful brown eyes that shine when you laugh. Your brown hair and how its sunstreaked. Your smile that lights up my world. Your laugh that could make the sun shine at midnight. You have the cutest pink blush. And the most perfect thing of all... I get to be here with you to see it all."
I blinked a few times, processing what Fang just said to me.
'Fang is so sweet and caring. That's why I love him.'
Wait... WHAT! I knew I liked Fang, but I mean, not like that!
"Fang, why do you open up so much around me?" I asked, scooting closer to him. "Max, I care about you. A lot. I always knew you were different."
"Fang?"
"Yeah?"
"Wanna draw like we used to!"
"Sure."
I squealed and raced to my desk, where I had my favorite midnight blue notebook that had white birds all over it, and Fang's white one(The world's ending!) that had black birds all over it(never mind), similar to mine. I got two mechanical pencils out of the top drawer and ran back to the bed to find Fang watching with a smile on his face. I sat back down in my spot and handed him his notebook and pencil. I leaned back against the head board and went to work drawing Fang.
R&R! This is my first story and I want to know what you think!
