Disclaimer: If Maximum Ride was mine the books would be filled with Iggy/Fang sex. All over the place until no were was left untouched. NOTHING. If you have read the book (which most of you have) you will see that Iggy and Fang do not get together but instead MAX AND FANG DO! Curse you James Patterson!
Authors note: This is a sad fic (I also most made Fuzzies cry! They never cry!) It tacks place after all of the books when Iggy/Max/Fang are twenty-eight. Told from Iggy's point of view.
His crate was always next to mine. It didn't matter if it was when we were ten or when we were twenty. They would give him a large crate and me a small; thinking I couldn't tell the difference. Did they think I was blind? If only that was wrong.
We slowly grew apart after our first escape even if we shared a room. We didn't talk much. He didn't talk most of the time and when I talked he only half listened. No one really listed to me, so I couldn't blame him on that much.
To everyone I'm just the kid who can't see. The only time they ever heard me was when I was in the parking lot. They heard me than. He just stared at me whale I cried. I cried so much that night. I wanted a home so badly. When I cried at the house I could feel him watching me from the door. Now as I sit on top of a skyscraper and think about it, I realize he really did care for me. Now we were nearly twenty-eight and I had never wanted to see him so much.
I stood up and walked over to the edge of the building. I looked over the side to see the small street and the cars below. Just over sixty stories. I folded my wings in and was about to jump...
"Stop Iggy." I turned around to face the voice. His face was impassive but it was nice to see him on my last day.
"Let me talk to you Iggy." I looked at him.
"There is nothing you can say to change my mind Fang." He nodded and stepped closer.
"I know, but I still want to tell you. I never stopped watching you Iggy. After all these years of laying beside you in the dog crates how could I stop after ten years let alone one day. Even if you couldn't see me I was always there. When I saw you, it broke me. I'll always love you Iggy no matter what you do."
I looked at him in surprise. By now he was no farther than a foot away from me.
"I'm still going to fall." My voice shook and he nodded.
"I know, that's way I'm doing it with you." He took my hand and stepped onto the edge. He looked back at me and smiled.
"Why." I asked. He pulled me close and kissed the top of my head.
"Because I can't live without you Ig, you are the only thing that lights up my world. Without you I wouldn't want to live." I nodded as we separated and put one foot over the edge of the building.
"You ready Iggy?" I gave a smile.
"I've been waiting years for this moment. I couldn't be more ready." He smiled.
For those few moments as we fell, I had never felt more happy. I had everything I had ever wanted. As we got closer to the ground I felt lighter than ever before. I looked at Fang and he looked at me. We both shared a huge smile as we fell. We gave eachother's hand a squeeze.
I had never felt so alive when I died.
