A/N: Takes place post- Maximum Ride: the Angel Experiment. Post- the-scene-where-Fang-is-hurt-and-Maximum-opens-her-heart-and-kisses-him. I love Max/Fang... as you can tell. My friends say I'm like Max. If only the Fang to my Max felt the same way... :(
Ah, well. You don't need to hear about my (sorry, nonexistent) love life. Enjoy the poem (and review. Seriously, I'm a review junkie).
Fang.
Fang got hurt.
Fang got hurt and needed to be taken care of.
Fang got hurt and needed to be taken care of, and Max kissed him.
Fang got hurt, and Max kissed him.
Max kissed him.
Max kissed Fang.
Where the hell did THAT come from?
What was so wrong with her that
She kissed a boy she'd grown up with for years?
One she knows she could always turn to?
Fang.
Things are so awkward and so messed up with him now
And she doesn't know what to do.
But she needs to be strong
For her friends: Iggy, Angel, Nudge, Gazzy, and Fang, too.
She's the one they turn to.
If she goes completely and totally insane,
What will they do?
Fang.
She wants to take him in her arms.
Well, she'd do it if he were the type of guy
Who enjoyed human contact on a regular basis.
But he keeps his thoughts to himself.
Such a problem?
It seems to work for him.
Maybe it would work for her.
Fang.
She should be thinking about her next move,
How to find out where everyone came from,
How to avoid the press,
How to find out the rest of their origins,
How to learn why she's been blessed- and cursed- with wings.
Of course,
All she can think about
Is the feeling of
Fang's soft lips meshing with her own
Tasting of friendship, sorrow,
And a bond that will never be broken.
Unless she's managed to kill it, of course.
She, Maximum Ride, is no savior of the world.
Right now,
She is just a teenage girl
With teenage thoughts
And confusions
And worries.
Her first kiss.
Her first worry.
Her first regret?
No.
She could never regret Fang being close to her,
Being her best friend.
He, on the other hand, could easily regret it.
He was introspective enough
That he would carry it with him
And never say a word to her about it
For fear of hurting the others.
This was between the two of them, though.
It needed to be fleshed out, figured out,
Before it destroyed them
And everything they've been working for.
A kiss.
A girl kisses a boy.
A girl kisses a boy, and the boy kisses back.
Max kissed Fang, and Fang kissed her back equally.
Max kissed Fang at a crucial moment.
Max kissed Fang.
A kiss.
