A.N.: Hey guys! This is my first story for Maximum Ride, which I obviously don't own! This is kind of short, and it's really OOC, but whatever! Oh! By the way, this is a softer, more vulnerable version of FAX! Review please! Enjoy!

Max P.O.V.

I swooped, soaring with the rest of my mini-flock, using my raptor-vision to look for Fang, I mean, the Gasman, and Iggy, and Fang, not just Fang. I sighed, I knew I was really only looking for Fang, not that I didn't love the rest of the flock, but I missed Fang in particular. I should have begged him not to go. I shouldn't have jumped off a ledge when he kissed me! I should've been a better leader, and a better friend.

Max, said the voice in my head. Don't worry about Fang, he still loves you.

Shut up voice! For once, it listened.

My mini-argument with the voice in my head had made me miss the fact that I could see Fang's black jacket. I smiled. Fang's wardrobe consisted of, black, black, and more black! I found myself smiling again as I landed, and suddenly my smile faded, only a little, because Fang had left me, oh yeah, I remember now, I'm angry!

I walked by Fang, and he looked like he was going to cry, he'll get over it, said the voice.

Once again, get out of my head, Voice!

"Iggy!" I screeched, hugging him. "Gazzy!" Once again, screeching, hugging him, I released him so he could hug his sister. I walked deliberately over to Fang. I swear I saw him gulp.

I threw my arms around his neck, breathing in his ear "Don't you ever leave me again, or I swear to god I'll hunt you down and kill you! Got that?" I looked up, I was smiling and crying all over again.

"Yeah, got it." He looked at me, and I realized I still had my arms around his neck, and I leaned closer to him, kissing him with a fierceness I usually saved for Erasers. I pushed my hands into his hair, and his arms circled my waist, making me feel little, and girly and protected, that's what I loved about Fang, well, at least when he wasn't being a sexist-pig.

We were sitting in a tree in a State Park, the kids were asleep, and I looked down to see if Fang was awake, he was, and he stared back at me. We exchanged a look that meant 'wanna fly?' we nodded together, and took off quietly. We landed in a patch of grass, and Fang sat down. I sat near him, but not too close.

"Fang," I started nervously, "I want to uhm, apologize, for not stopping you from leaving. I should have told you I didn't want you to go, but I was scared. And, I'm sorry about the night when you kissed me, and I ran away. I was scared. We've always been close, and I was afraid that if something did come of that kiss that it would end badly, and then I would lose you, and I'd be really, really sad." I stopped for about a second, which was just enough time for Fang to get up, push me on the floor, and kiss me like it was the last thing he was ever going to do. When we broke for air, my voice was small, breathy, "so I guess this means I'm forgiven?" He growled in response, pushing me back to the ground, pinning my wrists above my head, and kissing me, nipping at my neck, making me almost moan.

"C'mon," he said "let's go feed the flock."

And just like that, it was the Max and Fang show again. My fingers laced with his, and our hands swung between us.

"It's good to have you back," he said, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Good to have you back too." I smiled, and once I was in hearing range, Angle shouted:

"OHMYGOD! Does this mean you guys are like together now!?"

A.N.: OOC, and short, and weird, but review anyway, but play nicely, this is my first FAX fanfiction!
