Fang's P.O.V.
It was 3 in the morning and it was Fang's watch. He still had another hour to go, but was already having a hard time keeping his eyes open. He looked over at Max. She was fast asleep, yet extremely tense. Her hands were in tight fists and she was moving, as if she couldn't get comfortable. Fang wished she was awake, so they could talk, just the two of them. It was like she read his mind. At that moment, Max woke up, on full alert. Once she realized where she was, she loosened up. Fang watched as Max scanned the dark cave. She looked over each flock member, and then her gaze met Fang's.
Ohh. When max's eyes looked deep into Fang's, everything else went blank. I love her, I really do. Wait, what am I saying? You remember what happened last time we kissed, don't you? She flew off. She was unsure. It killed me.
"What?"
Crap. I was looking at Max for like 5 minutes.
"Nothing." Smooth.
"Go to bed, I'll take over."
"No, it's my watch. You sleep. Besides, you already had first watch."
"You're still tired. Anyways, you woke up early; I still had a half hour to go."
"Just go back to sleep." What am I saying? I wanted her awake! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stu…
"Fang?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"I think I lo…" Max wanted to tell him so bad, but after what she did to him in the cave a few months ago, she didn't know how he would react.
"You think what?" Was she going to say, "I think I love you?"
"Um…" Max didn't know how Fang felt. What if he changed his mind? What if she blew it? What if…it was over?
"Max?" I think she was! Say it! Say it!
"Never mind." She couldn't take the chance.
Dang it! I was so sure!
"Go back to sleep Max, you need it."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"That you sound tired." That you won't say you love me, and I want you to! We both know you do! I think.
"Okay, okay. Goodnight Fang." Would he ever know how Max truly felt?
"Night." Not tonight.
Angel's P.O.V.
Oops. Mind eavesdropping. One of my many gifts!
"She loves you Fang. She really does. She just didn't want you to feel differently."
"Angel?! What are you doing, up? And why are you reading peoples' minds? That's so rude! This is our business!"
"I'm sorry! I woke up and heard you talking, and I wanted to know what you were talking about. I thought if I read your minds, I could find out."
"You found out more than you needed to hear! What was the first thing you heard?"
"Well, you were thinking about Max, and how much you love her."
Angel could see Fangs face getting redder and the air got thick. Then, all of a sudden Fang started, crying. Fang crying? WHAT?! Talk about the most unexpected thing you could possibly think of! Fang NEVER cries! None of the flock cries! And Fang was always the one to keep his emotions inside!
"Um…I didn't mean to make you cry. I never would have listened if I had known this would happen…"
"It's…not…you…" Fang had to pull himself together. He couldn't cry! Especially not in front of Angel! "Just, don't…tell anyone…okay?"
"Okay Fang. I won't. I promise."
"Thanks Angel." Fang stopped crying and was able to catch his breath. That was weird! Since when did he cry?! He just hoped Angel wouldn't blab it to the whole world. "Go back to sleep. Okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight fang."
"Goodnight.'
