This is a song fic for I Can Talk by Two Door Cinema Club. They're a great group, so you should check them out. Oh, and this is all pre-Fang the book.


You won't believe what I tell you,

White coats and clever minds will choose

You get a lot from this

Loose tongue and arrogance

It's not appropriate

Don't think that this is it

I can feel the words festering in me. They aren't going to stop fighting unless someone makes them. I can't take another minute of them all bickering. It's not just Angel and Gazzy like usual. It's every single one of them. Even Max. They all fight over the dumbest things.

Now I can talk, no one gets off

(I know how you like to)

Now I can talk, no one gets off

I don't talk a lot because I might lose my cool like I'm about to. After all, what would the Flock do with out the strong, silent bird kid? Guess I'll find out.

Now I can talk, no one gets off

(I know how you like to)

Now I can talk, no one gets off

I clear my throat and yell, "Shut it!" over their shouting. They're all so stunned that they actually obey. Even Max. "Now, you're all going to sit down and listen to what I'm saying, right?" I get a few nods but mostly just dazed stares.

A longer sentence brings no more

Than one that I had said before

It's hard to compromise

When I see through your eyes

It's just a common view

I guess it's lost on you

"Okay, we all know that I'm not a man of many words, so maybe that's a hint as to how sick I am of your fighting. It's gotta stop. Now. In a few days you won't care if Nudge made you wear a pink shirt, Ig. Max, Gazzy did not deliberately fart on your bed. Nudge, you and Angel have been best friends since your cages were by each other. You can't give up that friendship over custody of Total's puppies." I finish my speech and nod.

Now I can talk, no one gets off

(I know how you like to)

Now I can talk, no one gets off

"Let's all go to bed and we'll start tomorrow off fresh, okay?" I say and, again, they all obey. Even Max. I grab her arm as the kids trudge down the hallway. "Huh?" she asks. "You're not going to bed yet." I say. "Is that so?" she replies sarcastically. I drag her to the couch. She smiles and I give her the first of many goodnight kisses.

Now I can talk, no one gets off

(I know how you like to)

Now I can talk, no one gets off


How was that for my first song fic? I thought it was pretty decent. I mean these lyrics had Fang and the Flock down to a tee. It even mentions white coats! Well, yeah. Please, please, please review (No, I am not above groveling).
