AN: My first Maximum Ride fanfic, so be kind, please.

Iggy was almost to the breaking point. He wasn't sure how much more he could take and he'd been trained to withstand torture. He'd have thought that after this long he'd have gotten used to Nudge's constant stream of talk, talk, talk.

"And do know what she said? She said I should chop my hair off like she does. And I was just thinking, 'Okay Max I love you and all but I'm not letting you anywhere near my hair with a pair of scissors.' I mean it doesn't bug me that much when I fly, just a little bit…."

And it went on and on and on some more. Everyone else was out, Max and Fang were doing some recon, Angel and Gazzy were scavenging. Now that Gazzy was thirteen he was allowed to go on short missions like that alone, but he'd decided ( or was coerced Iggy wasn't really sure) to take his little sister along. Leaving Iggy at their latest hideout with Nudge.

And she was still going on and on and on.

Finally he snapped. He had to stop the sound for even just a few seconds or he'd go crazy.

Before he could consider his sanity he leaned forward following the sound of her voice till he made contact with her lips. They immediately stilled under his. Iggy felt her stiffen in surprise. He felt like punching the air for his win for the battle for silence, then she was kissing him back at it was his turn to be shocked.

He hadn't thought about why he was kissing Nudge except that her mouth wouldn't stop moving and barring a gag it seemed like t he best way to silence her. But now her lips were moving hesitantly against his and he wasn't so sure that was his only reason for doing it. When he pulled away he felt her breath ghost over his warm lips. Silence permeated the air between and he wished now that she would talk, that she'd say anything at all to break the tension.

"Wow." Nudge breathed. It was the shortest sentence he'd ever heard her utter, he thought smirking. He felt Nudge draw in a deep breath to start the word flow again and he leaned forward to kiss her before it could happen.

'Wow.' Iggy thought. He planned on using t his method of silencing Nudge a lot from then on.
