A/N: I do not own any of the Maximum Ride books or the characters
A/N: I do not own any of the Maximum Ride books or the characters. JP does.
Max's P.O.V.
"Fang," I said, my voice breaking. "Just live, okay? Live and be okay." With no warning, I leaned down and kissed his mouth, just like that. "Ow," he said, touching his split lip, then he and I stared at each other in shock. Mortification heated my face. I glanced up to see Nudge and the Gasman gaping at me. Luckily, Iggy was blind, and Angel was getting Fang water. Gazzy looked from me to Fang to Iggy, clearly thinking that he was sunk now that I had obviously severed all ties with reality.
Slowly, Fang levered himself into a sitting position, his jaw tight, sweat breaking out on his face. "Man," he said, and coughed. "This feels pretty bad."
"Well, let me help you feel better," I said in a tone that I had never used before. And very, very slowly, I lowered my face down to where his was in my lap, and, trying to be careful with his split lip, kissed him. I put as much sweetness as I could into the kiss. But this time, Fang kissed me back. We finally broke the kiss, we must have been making out for a long time, gasping. Fang looked at me, and smiled. I smiled back. And so low that I could barely hear it, he whispered, "I love you, Max." "I love you too, Fang." I said. And what do ya know, just like that, I realized I was in love with my best friend. How's that for a happy ending?
A/N: I know it's a little short, but it's good right? And maybe if I get enough reviews, I'll write a second chapter!
