Okay guys. Sorry for not updating in awhile! And, sorry for the lack of FAX in the beginning. But not everything has a to be a makeout session with Fang, you know? *laugh* Um, first bit just explains the setting and stuff. But after, well, let's just say, I ABSOLOUTELY ENJOYED writing Max's nightime makeout session with Fang. And for all you wrong-thinkers, out there, NO! THEY DID NOT DO IT! Geez, I leave that to JP. -.-
Please, please, please review and send me a few ideas! I'm pretty much stumped right noow. :P Thanks guys ^^
Okay, imma stop babbling now. Here's your second chapter! (:
A few weeks had passed since, we had saved the whole freaking world. Wow, I can't even say that without throwing in 'freaking'. Oh, well.
Everything was almost back to normal and most of the world's famous cities were cleared, so things could go back to the way they were. Most of the cities had decided to change their ways, because of how freaked out they were when the world had almost ended and us- mutant freaks- risking our lives, to save it. They were the ones who gave a damn about it all. The other cities went back to dumping gases into the exhausted atmposphere, using as much water as they wanted in the shower, cranking up their stupid Italian sports cars to the limit, etc. Little twerps.
Fang stayed with the Flock, like he promised and surprisingly, I didn't mind Maya and the others. Maybe it was the fact that we were sort of friends now. Or maybe it was the fact that she had once saved my life. Or maybe Fang was with the Flock now, so nothing else mattered.
Nowadays, we tried to spend as much time as we could with each other. And when I say, each other, I mean the whole Flock. Not just Fang and I. See? I'm not that selfish and greedy. I guess, saving the whole freaking world can change a girl.
A few days had passed since we'd all help tidy up, seriously messed up towns and cities. So, we'd decided to settle down for a while. The Flock (including Dylan) (A/N - sorry, guys. I hate him too, but it's Max's thoughts here.) and Maya had literally, flew across the globe, while the non-winged people, as Iggy called them, took a plane. We were going back to the E-shaped house the Flock used to stay in, in the Coloardo Mouintains again. (A/N- I know the house got burned down, by Erasers in TAE, but I had to send them somewhere!)
Once I'd gotten the kid's rooms ready for them to sleep in, I went off to help Kate, Maya, and Star get their rooms. They ended up taking Jeb's former office, which he used when he lived here. Apparently, Maya said she'd sleep on the desk, Kate would sleep on the floor and Star on the nearby couch. I wondered what Jeb would say if he found out we'd stashed his stuff in a corner. I still didn't know about Jeb and thinking about him made me frustarted, since he'd taken my Mom with him too, to wherever he was now. My next task would be to search for those two. I know, ambitious, huh?
I was walked into the dusty living room and found that Ratchet and Holden Squibb (I still cracked up when I heard that name, for some reason. ) had already made arrangements to sleep there. When Ratchet heard me walk in, he said uneasily ''Fang said we should bunk here.''
Now, considering I'd lived with three guys by whole life, I tend to know that boys can be a bit messy. Not to judge or anything, because, I know I'm not any better. So, you can imagine my face when I heard him say that.
Out of nowhere, Fang appeared beside me and grinned. ''Hey, come on. There's no other place. Besides, they're not that bad. 'Least not as messy as me...''
I grinned too, and poked his chest.
I woke up in cold sweat, panting and wheezing. Yet another nightmare had cropped up on me and tonight, I was trying desperately, to just get some sleep. Exhaustion had hit me when I had closed my eyes, but so far, I hadn't gotten an ounce of sleep, without a stupid nightmare.
Groaning, I crawled out of my sheets and headed towards the washrrom, to douse my face with some cold water.
In the hallway, I saw a sleek, dark figure, slowly closing the door behind. Fang. I was sure he was out here, the same reason I was. Without my permission, my heart, immdeiately sped up.
He became tense and sensed someone behind him, so he turned and instantly, met my eye.
''Hey,'' I croaked, still a bit groggy from my lack of sleep. But, I was soon woken up when Fang, wordlessly slid across the corridor and came up to me. His hand glided onto my waist and he gathered me to him. The other free hand gently smoothed the hair of my face and slithered down to my neck, my shoulders and my spine, making me shiver. I put one arm on his wide chest and the other around his neck. Looking up to his face, I saw a small, sly look and a smile. Suddenly, his lips were on mine and my breath froze in my chest. I'd never get used to kissing Fang. Never, ever, ever.
But, somehow, this time the kiss was different from any other time. Fang's mouth moved with such intensity, against mine and he pulled me to him, tightly. And, quite frankly I didn't mind.
''I've missed you,'' he murmured against my lips.
I moaned slightly and clung onto the collar of shirt, tugging it closer.
His lips formed a smile and he drew back, to stare at my face. His eyes shined and we were so close, I could see those beautiful gold-brown specks which made his eyes look so warm.
''No sleep?'' he whispered.
I shook my head and grinned. ''I'm pretty much, wiped.''
''Same.'' he smiled, slightly.
He brought his head down to kiss me again and I put both my hand around his neck again, cradling his soft hair. Somehow, he opened my bedroom door, while still holding me hard and guided me towards the small loveseat I had, which was set against the window.
Fang sat down, while still holding his mouth to mine and pulled me to sit on his lap. I felt a bit, awkward now. I'd never been so close to him. But, that was probably because I always had things in the way. Saving the world, Dylan, the School, psysco scientists trying to experiment, yada, yada, yada. I'd never gotten the time to just be with Fang. Now, that things were settled and calmed down, Fang and I could just ... be.
After a while, our kisses became less hungry and more comforting. Fang's fingers trailed up and down my spine and my head was blanketed under his neck.
''When was the last time we did this?'' he mused.
I shrugged. ''It doesn't matter, does it?''
''Sure it doesn't.'' he chortled and lifted my chin to look at him. ''Should we go for a little spin?''
Frowning I shifted myself so I could look out the window. It had been drizzling for awhile and I'd hate to get my wings wet. Storm clouds gathered quickly and I knew it would be pouring soon. ''Nah, it's going to rain soon,'' I replied, looking back at him. ''Besides, I'm comfy right here.''
He smiled and closed his eyes, but his arms remained around my waist. I placed my head on his chest, where I could hear his steady breathing. I realized he was asleep.
Before I knew it, my eyes closed and I too, was sound asleep.
''I love you, Max,'' came a soft whisper, that caused me to snuggle deeper into Fang's shirt.
