Figgy Pudding
Max sat up in the middle of the night. She had been awakened by a crash and a string of curses coming from the hall leading towards the kitchen.
She sat up and fumbled her way to the door. It was almost midnight and her room was pitch black. While succeeding to stub her toe and trip over a pile of dirty clothes, Max got to the door. When she opened it the hall was barley more lit than her room. But you know with that raptor vision their night vision was pretty good.
But as soon as Max saw Fang she wished she were blind (in other words, she wished she was Iggy). Fang was in his boxers, cursing up a storm because he hit the end table in the hallway. It wasn't like she hadn't seen Fang in his underwear, but she hadn't ever noticed the bulge under them until now.
She caught herself staring and looked away down the hall, blushing furiously. She was going to shut her door and go back to bed when he noticed her.
"Max? Why are you up?" he said and was trying to hide something behind his back.
"Well, it might have something to do with you beating every sailor known to man in a cursing contest," she said sarcastically, trying to see what Fang was hiding. Fang blushed lightly, which surprised Max, and edged towards his and Iggy's room. Max side stepped and blocked his path. Fang tried stepping around her, but Max followed, still trying to see behind his back. Whatever he was hiding he really didn't want Max seeing it.
Fang feigned to the left but Max didn't fall for it, she knew him to well, and cornered him in the closed doorway. That's when it went too hell in a handbag.
Iggy opened the door.
"Fang, did you get the pudding?" then he noticed Max and Max noticed him. Iggy was naked and blushing worse than she was. He covered himself with his hands, but it only did so much.
Max was standing there, staring like an idiot, thankfully not at any private area, and had turned three shades redder. Fang was still blushing lightly, and edging into the room. That's when Max noticed she was only a hands length away from Fang, and double that from Iggy. She jumped back quickly, Fang rushed into their room and Iggy closed the door and she heard the click of the lock.
Max finally picked her jaw up off the ground, and turned to back into her room. When she was in bed three thoughts passed trough her head before she fell asleep.
1. She hoped none of the younger kids heard that whole scene. She wanted Fang and Iggy to tell them when they were ready.
2. She was happy for them. Sure, she had the creeping suspicion she had a crush on Fang, but thankfully it hadn't turned romantic. And, yes it would take a while to get used to the idea of two of her brothers sharing a bed, but she was still happy for them.
3. Fang and Iggy made a really hot couple. No explanation needed.
