I don't own Maximum Ride

Max POV

I rolled over on the bed, into Fang's chest. We had been living together for five years, since we were nineteen.

My eyes drearily opened. I rolled over, again, and looked at the clock. I had about fifteen minutes before the alarm went off.

I wanted more than anything to go back to sleep, but you know that is not going to happen.

I turned over-again- back into Fang's chest and snuggled.

He was warm. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again but to no success.

When I gave up, I had five minutes.

"I wish I could sleep," I muttered.

I must have been louder than I thought because Fang's eyes opened.

"Huh?" he asked.

"Nothing,"

"What time is it?"

"Five till five"

"No point in going to sleep now"

"Yeah. Sorry I woke you"

"What's a five minute difference in sleeping?"

I smiled. Then the alarm clock went off. Uselessly.

Fang turned it off then rolled out of bed. I reluctantly followed.

After getting ready (eating breakfast, brushing my hair and teeth etc.) it was five forty-five.

I was about to open the door when I remembered my gun.

Yes, I have a Glock issued to me from NCIS- Naval Criminal Investigative Service ( I used to think it was investigational instead of investigative).

Fang eyed the Glock like it was pure poison.

He hated the fact that I went from ripping Eraser's heads off to the firing range.

I saw his expression and kissed him.

"Fang, I love you," I said.

He didn't reply. I sighed and began walking to the door when he said, "I love you. I love you but not the gun."

"And I thought you were a trigger-happy person."

At NCIS

I walked into my desk area and, set up my things.

I was scanning through the newsletter that is sent through your e-mail when Tony and Abby walked in.

Abby was usually upstairs right now.

"Hi Abby, Tony" I said masking my confusion like a professional.

"Hi!" Abby said as her usual perky self.

Abby took stereotype Goths, then turned upside down.

She was a catholic (yes Abby is catholic.) who slept in a coffin, than woke up happy. Abby was the only scientist who didn't remind me of Itex.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Looking for Gibbs."

"Oh. DiNozzo, why haven't you spilled about what you did over the weekend?" I asked Tony.

"Because I had a cold."

"And didn't you watch movies?"

"Yes."

"Why aren't you telling us about those?"

"Do you really like that?"

"No, and I don't like secrets being kept from me."

"What-what secrets?"

I quirked an eyebrow.

"Ooh, ooh, Gibbs!" Abby said.

"Yeah, Abby?" Gibbs asked. He had so many secrets hidden behind him.

He reminded me of Fang.

Suddenly I remembered something about Gibbs that made me feel guilty about coming to work.

Wow. This is like the longest chapter I've ever written.
