It was early in the morning and I could hear the flock breathing, all still asleep peacefully. I watched them for minute wishing they were always that peaceful. I looked around the cave we were currently living in, it was high off the ground and the only way someone could get in was if they had wings.
So when someone came up behind me I almost screamed but then remembered that we were in a cave and the only people who could behind me were members of the flock.
I turned to see Fang standing there, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jesus Fang, you scared the hell out of me!" He chuckled, which is rare of Fang. "Sorry babe." He came up and kissed me softly.
"Yeah sure whatever," I smiled trying to ignore the tingly feeling I got every time Fang was near me.
"I think its time to wake up the rest of the flock."
"Yeah we got a big day ahead of us, you and I should go look for a new hideout we've been here too long already. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel and Total are going to go look for some food before we all starve to death." Fang told me as I walked over and gently tapped everyone on the leg waking them up.
. "Alright guys, up and at 'em, we've got a big day ahead of us. Fang and I are going to go look for a new place to stay the rest of you go look for some food. We'll meet up back here." I tapped Iggy's hand twice to let him know he was in charge of the rest of the flock.
"Max, what are we going to have for breakfast? I'm hungry, and so is Nudge," Angle whined quietly.
"Well sweetie," Crap! I hadn't thought about breakfast...Why didn't I think ahead? We should have saved some food from last night for breakfast.
"I caught a rabbit last night we are going to have to have that for breakfast today, okay Angel?" Fang said in the middle of my self scolding. "Okay Fang!" Angel skipped off happy now, to start a fire the rest of the flock quickly followed behind her to make sure she didn't blow anything up –we've learned since last time.-
"Thanks Fang." I muttered quietly before stalking off to join everybody else.
"Rabbit's done!" Iggy yelled a few minutes later.
After we all had our fill I said "Okay gang lets get ready to go." Everyone walked to the edge of the cliff ready to jump "On three... 1 2 3…" I said as everyone fell then immediately caught them selves and flew right back up.
"Okay guys Fang and I will go west the rest of you go east, be safe guys" I yelled as they flew off quickly. As soon as we were out of hearing range Fang flew up beside me "Let's go rest on the ledge there, we need to talk. You know we have to tell them soon or Angel is going to read our minds and figure it out, and you know that can't turn out good."
"Thanks tips, as if that isn't obvious!" I said but regretted it the second after as I realized I had no reason to be snappy with Fang, he had a valid point.
"Ok but how do you suppose we tell them, we can't just walk in and have you just be all "Max is my girlfriend". And then walk away; you know you aren't the most huggable person out there." I asked him.
As if to prove me wrong he walked over to me and wrapped me up in his arms and squeezed me tightly. I laughed, "Fang you know that's not what I meant, I just meant that you are normally so, so I don't know...the type that keep's to yourself."
"Yeah I guess your right," he chuckled. "C'mon lets go we'll tell them tonight when we get back."
"But... Fang we don't have a plan yet, what are we gong to do?"
"What you taught me how to do, pretend we have a plan." I play smacked him. But I knew what he meant we were going to improvise. By now we were standing near the edge of the cliff so I stepped closer to him and stood on m tip toes just as I leaned in he fell backwards off the cliff and caught himself with his wings. And I stumbled to catch my balance.
"Fangy," I whined using the name he hated, he knew what I wanted but instead said "come and get me!" I jumped up and shot my wings out, and flew fast as I tried to catch him then used all my strength and caught up to him.
"C'mon lets just go home we will stay at that cave one more night." He said. And we flew off into the night back to our make shift home, to tell everyone that we loved each other –ugh gosh did that ever sound old! - I hate saying that word I makes m feel so, so vulnerable.
We were just a few feet from the cave when I realized something; that was the first time EVER that Fang had refused to kiss me especially since we only got so much time to spend together.
Because we were almost always with Flock, we would always use whatever time we had togeather.
Oh my gosh is Fang mad at me?
I wondered, since I knew the rest of the flock probably wouldn't be back yet I turned around and flew back towards the ledge we just came from. As expected I heard the flap of Fang's wings behind me and they just made me go that much faster, finally I got to the ledge.
I wanted so badly to scream when I saw Fang land on the cliff as well but I would probably just freak him out so instead I asked calmly "Fang are you mad at me?"
Please say no please say no I ranted inside.
"No, babe why would you think I'm mad at you? Did I do something wrong?" his face looked worried, great now I feel stupid, of course he's not mad, but then why not kiss me?
"Um, well not exactly, it's just...ughhh... oh god I feel stupid," Fang walked over and put his arms around me as f to comfort me then said, "Max, what is it? Just spit it out already."
"Well it's just that you have never not kissed me before and then you didn't just now on the ledge and so I thought something was wrong and the only explanation I could think of was that you were mad at me." I blurted out quickly, moving away from Fang a bit.
"What? Why would you think I'm mad at you, of course I'm not! I just don't think its right to be sneaking around behind the flocks back, its not that I didn't want to kiss you, believe me I did, but I just didn't think it was right when we were on our way to go tell the flock anyways." He asnwered pulling me back towards him gently.
Why the hell didn't I think of that? I am so stupid, I can't believe how stupid I am, what reason did Fang even have to be mad at me?
"I'm sorry, I just… I don't even know... I guess I just jumped to conclusions; my brain doesn't function properly when I'm thinking about you. I'm so sorry Fang." He smiled,before saying "Don't be sorry I guess I could have been nicer about it,"
"Ugh I could kiss you right know, your just so God damned understanding." And too my surprise as if he couldn't resist he leaned down and kissed my lips. That was it for me I couldn't get enough of him I wanted more, my hands traveled up and down his chest feeling his taut muscles through his shirt, I heard him moan.
I went to take his shirt off and got frustrated and worried when his hands caught my wrists, I frowned. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" I had never really made out with him before just one quick kiss here an there so I didn't know if I was doing this the right way. I just knew how good it felt to me.
"No, oh God no that was the most amazing thing ever, I just don't think we should get too carried away and lose track of time, the flock would be worried if we cam back to late." Ugh I hate it when he's right but I knew we only had time for a couple more kisses, so I reached up onto my tippy toes and smiled, "One more?" I asked, he smiled too and leaned his head back down into me.
I pushed him up against the wall my body craving his, I felt him starting to sink down and I sat on his lap, all the while never breaking the kiss. I was surprised in a happy way when I felt his hands find their way up and under my shirt, and I couldn't help myself; I laughed.
"What?" he asked pulling away, damn why did I have to laugh? "Nothing," I leaned in again, and he pulled away I looked at him confused, "No why were you laughing at me?"
"Fang I wasn't laughing at you per se I just found it funny that you just scolded me for going to far and yet you do so yourself five minutes later."
"Your right that was totally irresponsible of me I shouldn't have." Ugh great now we would never get beyond first base! "Fang don't get me wrong I most definitely did not want you to stop." He smiled and hugged me closer on his lap, and he started kissing my neck, I moaned," how can this feel so damned good?"
Fang laughed. "Crap I did not just say that out loud did I?" "Afraid so," My face blushed such a deep red, and my hand went up to cover my mouth "oops." I said and he laughed again. One last time he leaned down and kissed me quick before he picked me up. My legs wrapped around his waist and he carried me to the edge and put me down.
"Ready to get back? The flock is probably waiting for us by now." He asked, truthfully no I was no where near wanting to go back.
I wished we could just hide out here and keep kissing forever but of course I answered "yup, let's go tell he flock." "I love you Max." he said "I love you too, now how to tell the rest of them that?" he laughed before jumping off the edge pulling me with him.
My wings unfolded and caught the air between them lifting me up, holding my hand in Fangs and flying had to be the best thing ever besides kissing him of course. I could hear the flocks laughter and I knew this was when I would have to let go of Fang, but when I started to pull my hand away he only held it that much tighter.
"It's not like we aren't going to tell them anyways." True, finally I saw the flock all sitting around a fire to keep warm, with their sleeping bags wrapped around them.
Fang and I landed in the dark fire lit cave, "We have something to tell you guys." I blurted quickly. Damn, me and my stupid nerves.
"Subtle," fang whispered to me, I aimed an elbow into his ribs and when he gave a sharp grunt of pain I removed my elbow.
"We um... well were...how do we put this? Were... kinda," Just as I was about to finally finish that sentence, Angel jumped up reading are minds, and hugged me happily.
"Finally I was starting to think you guys would never tell us your in love." She reached over and hugged Fang as well.
"Whoa back up for a minute here you're what?" Iggy asked. "I love Max." Fang said "how much clearer can we get?" I blushed, "Angel, Nudge isn't time for you guys to get to bed?" I desperately hoped it wasn't going to get anymore embarrassing! "Yeah sure whatever," Nudge mumbled.
While Angel whined in protest I held my ground and said "G'night sweetie, and Angel you know its bed time." She frowned "Ok, fine" she muttered.
"Yeah I'm going to" Gazzy said jumping up with Iggy not far behind "k well good night everyone!" I called "yeah night, just don't let us hear you two all night I'd actually like a good nights sleep." One of them called.
Once everyone was settled in I walked back over to Fang and sat beside him on the cave floor. "Well that was a disaster." I mumbled. He pulled me onto his lap "Not necessarily, I guess the flock could already almost see that we love each other they must have just been waiting for us to announce it." I smiled "Does that mean I can kiss you know?" I asked quietly.
"NO!" Iggy yelled, "Wait until i'm asleep please." We laughed, "I guess we should get to sleep," Fang said. "Yeah, I guess." I said crawling into my sleeping bag. Fang pulling me closer to him so it was as if we were almost sharing one sleeping bag.
