The rays of the sun shone through the curtains warming the small bedroom. One of the occupants of the room stirred.

Fang opened his eyes slowly. His head hurt like a thousand jackhammers and him eyes were red and dry like a hot summer day. As he opened his eyes he came face to face with, in his opinion, the most beautiful women in the world. She was so strong, so caring, and so beautiful. She was perfect. And he loved her more then anything in the world.

It was only a month ago that he was alone on the streets of Chicago, trying so hard to get over what he had found out about his parents. He had been tempted by women in bars and clubs and every time he thought about her and only her. He thought about how he had to get back to her n matter what it took. And then last night, when he crawled in through her window and watched her there sleeping, that peaceful look on her face, the look that was so rare to see when they were on the run, made his heart lift with joy and sink in sadness at the same time. He let it all go at that moment. He refused to hold it in anymore.

He was worried at first when she seemed angry at him for leaving, but then her voice changed. She calmed down, and seemed to be more worried then anything else. He thought he had ruined everything when he snapped at her, but she just stayed calm and took care of him, like she always took care of everyone else but herself. The last thing he remembered was falling in her arms like a child and mother.

Carefully shifting in his place he laid a gentle kiss on her cheek and got up. He stretched and yawned, and then quietly made his way downstairs where he ran into a few surprised faces.

"Hey Fang welcome back." Dr. Martinez greeted.

"Thanks." he replied. He sat down and yawned again.

"Did you get in late last night?" Nudge asked. He nodded.

"You wouldn't have happened to see Max while you were upstairs, would you?" Dr. Martinez asked.

"Yea, she's still sleeping." Fang explained. "It was pretty dark last night, I accidentally went in through her window and woke her up."

"Oh, well were all going out, you're welcome to join us."

"No thanks, I'm going back to bed." Fang replied.

"Alright, if you sure." Dr. Martinez started. "We better go."

The small group got up and headed out the door. As Dr. Martinez was leaving she called out to Fang.

"There's breakfast left over if you're hungry."

When they were gone Fang got up from the table and headed back upstairs to Max's room. She was still asleep and he didn't want to disturb her, so sat in the chair across from her bed and watched her sleep peacefully.


An Hour later

Max suddenly found herself awake and alone in bed. Starring at the empty space next to her she tried to recall the night before.

"Ok, Fang came in and was crying. He said he found his parents and it pretty much broke his heart. And then he fell asleep crying and I laid him in the bed and then I fell asleep." she thought to herself. "So then where did he go?"

She carefully lifted herself up of the mattress. "Fang?" she called out quietly on the off chance it wasn't a dream.

"Hey, good morning." she heard from behind her. She craned her neck to see Fang sitting in the chair across from her bed.

"Hey." she replied. "What are you doing over there?"

"I woke up an hour ago and went downstairs. When I came back up you were still asleep and I didn't want to wake you up." Fang explained. Max smiled.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Better." he replied. "Thanks to you." she smiled caringly at him. She held out her hand as a sign for him to come and sit with her.

He slowly got up and without warning ran up and tackled her down to the bed. She squealed in surprise. She laughed hysterically.

"You're insane." she exclaimed between laughs. He nuzzled his face in her neck. He raised his head to look her in the eye.

"You're right I am insane. Insane about you." he whispered. He saw her eyes light up at his comment. Swooping down he capture her lips with his and initiated a heated make-out session.

They pulled apart a few minutes later for air. He started into her deep brown eyes.

"I love you." he said breathlessly. She smiled.

"I love you, too."
