Ever flew? There's really no way to explain it, to do it justice. It's the singular most amazing thing in the world. The swooping, diving, gliding... Amazing. The only thing better is Fang's kissing.
No! Bad Max, don't think about that! I thought, angry at myself. For the past couple weeks, since we left that Lerner's School, I've been thinking about those two times that Fang... No! Stop, Stop, Stop!!
I sighed, and looked over at the rest of my flock, all at least 10 yards away, flying in loose formation. Angel was starting to wear out; her eyes half closed, and lagging behind a bit. We needed to stop soon, I knew we were all tired and hungry.
"Yo, Fang," I called. "Anywhere to eat and rest near here?"
"There's a town up ahead," he replied. "And there's a forest by it, where we could rest."
"Sounds good to me. Hey guys, going down!" I shouted over the wind. We all angled our wings down to the ground, and descended fast.
After stopping at a fast food joint and emptying their kitchen, we took off to find a place to sleep. I was thinking about napping in the trees, and I saw that the forest had some huge trees. We're talking, like, monsters. We found a few of the big ones that were next to each other.
My flock quickly landed and tapped fists. The little ones were asleep as soon as they settled in to the branches. I looked over at Fang, and found him staring at me.
"I'll take first watch," I said quietly to him, not wanting to wake the others. He nodded his head, but never broke eye contact. Okay then... I thought, and nestled down in the branch I was sitting on.
I heard movement behind me, but didn't turn as Fang dropped down on my branch next to me.
Having him so close made my heart speed up, along with my breathing. Cut it out Max. I told myself sternly.
"Hey," Fang whispered. The sound of his voice made my heart skip a beat. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, and saw that he was grinning at me, like he knew what he was doing to me.
"Erm, hello," I squeaked. That made him grin even more. I silently swore at myself - and him for making me act this way - and turned my head.
"Max," he said, even quieter than before. I looked back over at him, and my heart stopped. His face was only and inch away from mine. All I had to do was lean in and...
Before I could though, Fang beat me to it. He leaned toward me, and our lips touched. I pressed against him, loving the moment.
My eyes shot open and I lay there, gasping, looking at the plain white ceiling above the bed I lay in.
Damn, my dreams are getting to real.
