Max looked at Nudge like she was crazy."DO WHAT?!"

"Kiss Iggy. I had to kiss Gaz so you can kiss Iggy," Max looked over at Fang. His hands were clenched at his sides. There was something in his eyes. It read 'if you do it Ill kill him'. She sighed," Nudge I'm-"suddenly there was a whoosh of air and a flapping sound. Max turned around to see a black feather, "Fang."

"Stupid why'd you do that?" Angel whispered nudging her.

"I didn't know THAT would happen! I though she'd kiss him or something," she replied honestly.

Max turned to them," What was that about?"

"What do you mean?" Gaz asked sweetly.

"You ALL know what I mean. Why did you want me to kiss Fang?" She put her hands on her hips.

"Because, you and Fang belong together! You guys are perfect for each other!" Angel tried to reason.

"Isn't that what you said about Dylan? Hmmm wasn't it?" She flushed nodding."That's what I thought."

"But Max everyone can see it. Fang loves you! I don't know why you don't admit it," Gazzy punched the ground. Wasn't it them who wanted her to let go of Fang? Now they want them to 'get together'?

"Guys I know that you want us together but-"

"But?"

"Then we would be in even more danger! Either they'd take Fang and use him to get me or the other was around," she explained.

"Max, he's a big Fang. He can take it," Max turned to see Iggy talking.

She sighed," Fine, I'll give 'us' a shot. Can't hurt to try. Now I just have to find him. Iggy fist watch," she went to the edge of the cave.

"OW man! Why me? I'm blind," Ig complained.

"And you can't cook or clean or win at monopoly," she replied sarcastically.

"Shut up," and she took off.

As she looked for Fang it started to rain."Can this day get any WORSE?" She yelled. She hated the rain because it weighed her wings down. Looking for shelter, at least 'til the rain lightened, she found an Oak tree.

She landed shaking out her wings and putting them away. Just in case someone saw. Then she sat and waited. As she did so she heard someone on the other side of the tree. She stood brushing off her bottom and went around the tree. There was suddenly a smacking sound followed by a small, OW. Max froze knowing that voice by heart. It was Fang.

"Fang," she saw him pacing with bloody knuckles. What was up with him? Max went over to him and touched his shoulder. He spun around ready to hit whatever it was only to see her.

"Max," he mumbled and put his arms down.

"Fang, what's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" For a moment emotions flashed in his eyes. Worry, hurt and uncertainty."Did I cause this?" Max wondered. Has she made those feelings surface? She reached out to touch him but he stepped back.

"Did you do it?" He turned his head away.

"Do what?" She let her hand fall.

Fangs head snapped back around at her, "Did you kiss Iggy!" He yelled squeezing his eyes closed.

Max winched at the harshness of his voice, but managed to speak, "No, I didn't kiss him. Fang I would never do anything like that, especially to you. Fang, though I don't say it often, I do care for you. Your my best friend, I-"

"I don't want to just be friends, "he whispered quietly.

"I know, I know you do. That's why I'm willing;" at his blank questioning gaze she elaborated."To give us a try. I'm willing to make 'you and me' an 'us'."

Fang's expression brightened. He grabbed her and pulled her to him. She pulled away to look at his face. Then, without his prompting, she leaned up and kissed him. He sighed happily and picked her up, pressing her against the tree.

Max wrapped her arms around him and tilted her head. Fang felt her fingers twiddle against the hair on the back of his neck. When they finally broke apart she at him. His mouth was slightly opened and he was panting. Fang was doing the same thing. She was flushed and her eyes glazed over. This was the first time she made a move on him, he realized. Not that he minded, mind you, he just wasn't expecting it.

Finally, after a short silence, Max spoke, "I like you Fang. I really do. I just, not that I had doubts, but I didn't think that we could work out. The white coats would always, WILL always, prays on us and our loved ones. I didn't want you hurt."

"I can take care of myself, "he smirked.

"I know you can. I just couldn't take it if you got hurt because of me," she admitted. "Oh god! I forgot about Iggy! He's still on watch!"

"What he gets," Fang mumbled. Max glared at him before getting off him and taking off. When they got back to the cave Iggy was half asleep at the entrance.

"Finally! I thought you guys would never come back!" He complained."I am NOT watching more than one watch EVER again!" He went back into the cave, flopped down and went to sleep instantly.

As Iggy fell asleep Fang grabbed Max, setting her on his lap and sitting down. Max leaned her head back to look at him. He kissed her head and wrapped his arms around her. She smiled and leaned against him.

By morning everyone was awake, but Max and Fang. Who were still in each other's arms. They only woke to the smell of bacon, which Max didn't remember buying. When breakfast was done Max leaned over to Iggy and kissed his cheek.

"My dare is done," she smiled. Fang was surprised. She had kissed Iggy, just not the way he thought she would. Maybe he over reacted. And maybe that was a good thing. He never would have won her if he didn't. Smirking lightly he leaned on the cave wall. Why hadn't he done this when Dylan was around? Was his last thought before Max snuggled into his side.

Should I make a lemon?
