Here is a collaboration of Maximum Ride one shots. I'm going to start out with Max and Fang and then I might throw in Nudge/Iggy..maybe. So here goes!
A Dangerous Dream
"Max..." Fang whispered, breathing lightly on my neck. As he leaned down and brought me into a warm embrace. "I love you.." He said holding me tight. I returned his affection by lightly laying my head on his shoulder and pulling him closer. I was playing back the moment before..we just stood there looking at each other..tears forming in my eyes. That's when Fang pulled into a strong embrace.
"I love you too.." I whispered. I found it increasingly hard to breath or even speak without my voice shaking. I know my legs and arms were. And I could feel Fang was too.
"Fang..are you ok?" I asked. "You're shaking.."
"I'm..fine. Just tired." He replied, sighing lightly as he squeezed me tighter. I could tell he was lying..but I decided to let it go and just enjoy the moment while it lasted. It seemed I had waited an eternity for this.
I jolted up wiping the tears off of my my face. I was getting tired of having these dreams over and over again. Each one burning it's way into my mind for the duration of a day..sometimes more. Fang didn't love me. And he never would love me. And every time I accepted that he would do something stupid like kiss me or give me the wrong impression with something he'd say. And it would set me back every time. Yet I still love him..it's quite confusing. I sat there looking around my room. I was going to be sixteen in 21 days. July 25th is going to be my 16th birthday..sweet, lonely, 16. I had been in love with Fang practically since I was 14. I had always imagined that on my 16th birthday he would tell me he loved me..and mean it. And I would be happy. But I knew it wasn't going to happen. That's my life. So I got up and got dressed. Accepting the day. I walked over to my calendar and marked it with a red 'X' on July 4th. Fireworks and fun awaited me. And I wasn't going to let stupid dreams get me down.
