Me: Well, I'm not going to lie to you, I've wanted to write this oneshot for a very long time...practically ever since I first heard this song.
Iggy: -sighs- She thinks that it's a perfect dong for FAX. Oh, and she had to shove me in the middle of it...
Me: Well, the song has more than one instrument in the background and I needed you to play the keyboard
Iggy: Fine...
Me: A suggestion, while reading you may want to listen to the song...just a suggestion though.
Disclaimer: I don't own my captee, Iggy, Maximum Ride, or Fall for you by Secondhand Serenade. Although, I love all three
Iggy: Wha?
Me: -giggles- Leaving him to ponder that...enjoy. :D
"Max!" Fang shouted, banging on the door impatiently. "Please open the door!"
For a moment there was no reply, but then Max shouted angrily back. "Go away you Jerk!"
Fang sighed as he leaned against the door and dropped his head into his hands. The same thought kept running through his head, over and over again.
I was going to kill that bitch for doing this to me.
They were staying at Dr. Martinez's house and she had, after much coaxing, convinced Max to let the Flock go to school. Unfortunately, he and Max were in separate classes and they didn't really have much time to see each other, so they only ever saw each other when school ended. This really annoyed Max because there was this girl in Fang's class that always seemed to be looking at him, and seemed to like him...a lot. Fang had assured her that there was nothing going on, but, Max, being who she is, couldn't believe that and there was no way in Hell that she would now.
Anyway, at the end of every school day, Max would go to Fang's classroom and they would meet there before picking up the other Flock members and walking back to the house. But, this time, things had been different. As Max walked into the classroom to meet Fang, he was pressed up against the wall by that girl and they were kissing. Before Fang had time to explain, Max was out the door so fast that not even he could have caught her.
What had happened was this...

The bell rang and Fang sat at his desk as he watched his classmates walk out of the room excitedly into the halls, ready to head home. He always hung around by himself after class so he could wait for Max, but, this time, he wasn't alone.
"Why do you always hang around after class, Nick?" Sam, AKA Samantha, asked from over by the white board – near where Fang had left his bag.
Fang shrugged before standing up from his seat and walking over to pick up his bag.
Before he had time to object, Sam had flung him against the wall and pressed her lips against his. Fang frowned before quickly pushing her away and glancing over at the doorway, to see Max, with a heartbroken look on her face as she turned and bolted out the door.
"What did you do?" Fang asked angrily as he glared menacingly at the girl who tried to thwart his relationship.
He clenched his fists and ran out of the room after Max, but she was already gone.
+-+-+
"Is she still in there?"
Fang turned to see Iggy and he rolled his eyes. Now was not the time for him to be here joking around. Fang didn't answer.
"You should apologise," Iggy said in all seriousness as if he fully understood the situation and Fang blinked.
"I will," he said quietly as the boys walked down the hall to the room that he and Iggy shared. "And, although I hate to say this, I need your help."
Fang watched as Iggy's serious face turned into a smirk. "What's in it for me?"
Fang rolled his eyes. "I'll do your chores for you for a week."
"A month."
"Deal."
And with that, Fang began to write.

Fang and Iggy had positioned themselves outside of Max's room with their instruments – Fang with his acoustic guitar and Iggy with his keyboard. Another thing that Max's mom had convinced the boys to do was to take music lessons. Fang had chosen to take guitar lessons and Iggy had taken piano lessons for about a year. After that, Fang had begun to sing along with his guitar, but he had never actually shown anyone his talents before.
"One, two, three," he whispered, and then Iggy began to play.
Fang didn't play his guitar at first, but Iggy played the keyboard quietly along with his lyrics.
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Iggy began to play more notes and his playing got slightly louder, harmonising beautifully with Fang's voice
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
Iggy played a nice solo part here and Fang waited for a moment before continuing
This is not what I intended
Iggy pushed the volume button on his keyboard and his playing got slightly louder as the keyboard began to play a quiet drumbeat in the background
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start
But hold your breath
Fang picked up his guitar and began to play and Iggy made the drumbeat louder, making the song start to pick up
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
Fang began strumming his guitar louder and Iggy changed the drumbeat as the tune changed
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words, 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep
Iggy turned the drums off and Fang stopped playing so it was only the keyboard again
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Fang began playing again and Iggy quickly switched the drumbeat back on
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
The boys finished and Fang leaned his guitar against the wall as he stood up in front of the door.
"Dude," Iggy murmured as he turned his keyboard off.
"What?" Fang asked impatiently.
"I had no idea that you could actually sing!" Iggy said in disbelief. "I was expecting you to sound like a tone-deaf whale."
"Thanks," Fang said dryly as Iggy picked up the instruments and walked back down the hall.
"Max," Fang tried again. "Please let me explain!"
Slowly, the door eased open and Max's tearstained face appeared in a crack in the door.
"Max, I didn't kiss her. She kissed me and I pushed her away as soon as she did. Please believe me," Fang whispered, placing a hand on the door handle.
The two of them stared at each other for a minute, having a conversation with their eyes, before Max slowly nodded and opened the door fully. Fang walked in and wrapped her in a hug, rubbing her back gently and kissing her forehead.
"I believe you," she whispered as she hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Because a girl like you is impossible to find You're impossible to find," Fang sung quietly and she laughed.
"Don't go too mushy on me," Max sad as she stepped back to look him in the eye.
Fang just smirked.
Me: -shrugs- Oneshots are weird
Iggy: your first oneshot, congrats.
Me: Well, I'm considering turning it into a story with lots of little songfics with different stories...but I can't be bothered
Iggy: -facepalm-
Me: Na, a oneshot is cool.
Review?
-Bell and Ig :D
