At The Carnival
Hey readers! Thanks for reading this! This is my first fanfic so I hope you like it! It's a scene between Fang and Max. Fax! Set before their first kiss. Enjoy!
Max POV
Finally. I think we finally shook off the latest inventions of those terrible whitecoats. Mechanical erasers? Like, serious yuck.As if the real one weren't bad enough.
"Hey Max!" Gazzy pipes up excitedly, shaking me out of my thoughts. "I see a carnival over there! Let's go!"
"No! We're on the run, remember? What part of carnival fits in with that?"
"Please?" Do not look, do not look…Argh. Stupid as I am, I looked. And there were the irresistible Bambi Eyes all of them love to use to exploit me with.
"Fine. But onlyone hour –" I say as Angel, Nudge and Gazzy explode into bubbles of joy. "– plus a day," Iggy steps up beside me and finishes for me. He grins happily as I give him my best death glare but realize, with much disappointment, he couldn't see it.
"I'm glaring, Ig," I growl at him menacingly.
"You better not glare too much, Maxie! Your face might just stay that way! And you wouldn't want that, do you? How would you get Fangy over here to marry you?" That annoying Iggy smirks as he follows the others, leaving Fang and I alone with tomato red cheeks.
"Um, hmm, uh…uh," Hey! What's happened to me? I'm never speechless! "Let's…uh…go?" Great vocab, huh? It came out as more of a question than an answer.
"Um, yeah," Fang says, looking as impassive as ever. Well, he's lucky he can not only be invisible but also hide his emotions so well! I look away, not daring to meet his eyes. My cheeks are still beet red. Ugh! That stupid Iggy. I don't even like Fang…Gah, who am I evenkidding? It doesn't take a genius to figure I'm head over heels in love with him. But…what if he doesn't return my feelings? What if he doesn't like me that…way? I shake my head to rid my head of all thoughts. No, I've been through this with myself already.
"But you know you love him! You LOOOVVEE him!" Love and friendship sing in my mind.
"Uh, I don't you idiots," I scream right back mentally at them. Then I stop right away. Am I arguing with myself? My, this love thing is really getting to me. I'm going delusional.
Denialisunhealthy,Maxie.Nowcomeon.We'reallwaitingforyoutogointothecarnival,Angel wiggles into my messed up thoughts. I bet I can hear her giggling mentally.
Idonotlovehimorlikehiminanyway.Youaremistaken!Goaway.Andokay,okay,I'mcoming.Anythingtotakemymindoffthis, I scream back mentally. I can almost hear her smirk as she gets out of my mind. That little girl.
I see Fang staring at me weirdly. Oh, hehe. I must have completely zoned out just now.
"Was just…uh…thinking," I giggle nervously in a high-pitched, squeaky voice that is BTW, so NOT me. Obviously.
He cocks his head to one side and throws me a funny look. "About what?" Wow, he's so adorable! I bet he can hear my heart pumping. Oh gah, what am I doing again?
"About…" I rack my brain. "Stuff." Great comeback, idiot.
"Right," he looks amused. "Come on, let's go before you argue with yourself even more." He jerks his head towards the carnival direction. Oh my goodness, how did he know that? Is he psychic or what?
