Sorry to scare you there, but yes, the world will end, someday. How do you think I ended up on this island, isolated from the rest of the world as me and my boyf- friend, family, and other experiments , yes folks, we're experiments, live in trees. Speaking of trees...
"Max?" I heard my baby's voice bounce off the interior of my very own tree house. "Angel?" I whispered, trying not to create too much noise. ( NO, she's not my baby in a sense that she came out of my body. I raised her, fought for her, and I love her). I heard her shuffle behind me with a blanket trailing after her. I picked her up in my eyes, staring into her angelic face, well that's another reason why she's named ,Angel. "I can't go to sleep Max" I planted a kiss on top of her blonde ringlets. "I know honey, I can't either" She nodded, wisdom seeping from her thin body. Angel was... well, had it the worse, she was taken and tested and operated on way more times then all of us other in the Flock ever had. It's painful.
"Why don't you try to go back and sleep maybe Fang is willing to tell you a happy story..." I almost could humor myself with that thought. Fang, a happy story? He would probably be better then me at it. I suck at being a not- mother to anyone. I smiled, hopefully convincing enough.
"But he can't do that Max, he's too busy thinking about you" I flushed, setting her down lightly on the padded floor. Her crystal eyes seeped into mine, reminding me of a techi-color sky. "Nonsense" Of course she's right. You see here, we all have talents. Angel's just happens to be hacking into minds.
Nuh-huh The voice, Angel spoke in my head.
"Angel, why don't you go try to sleep?" A voice glided across the room. I could recognize that voice from anywhere.
Fang.
Angel offered a too sweet smile as she gently glided, yes, glided, on the floor, snapping her snow white feathers in the air.
See you later
I nodded once at her, crossing my arms at my waist as she simply floated out of the room, to her house. Thank my mom for giving me a good view of every. And I mean every tree house. It's useful in times like this, to make sure Angel goes home without being hurt. But to wake up every morning to seeing a certain little boy run to take a dump is not pleasant.
"What she said was true you know" Fang stepped closer in between us, filling up the space.
"What was, Fang?" The corner of his mouth twitched up, a betrayal of emotion. Before this would have been awkward, a little hastened, almost as if we needed to worry about someone seeing us. But not anymore.
You see here, Fang can be considered my boyfriend, but that's too loose of a term to call him. I smiled, my wings twitching to be released as he snapped his out, all black and silky. I snapped my own out, all 15 feet of them, my tan feathers beating his dark ones play fully.
Before I knew it he inched dangerously close to mine, forcing his wings around me, only because I let him.
Stupid? Yes.
Sappy? Sure, why not.
But I loved him.
All obnoxiously silent him.
I took a step forward.
He took that as an invitation.
Fang crashed his lips against mine, taking my breath away, literally. God knows that I'm no girly-girl but they have something right for once, kissing was amazing.
Expecially with Fang.
I threaded my fingers through his thick matted hair, smiling as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me towards the hammock. His dark lashes fluttered against mine, staring into my muddy brown eyes. Most couples would have closed their eyes, but we both don't want to forget each moment we spend with each other. I gazed back, smiling as he dragged my body across his. The hammock rocked under our weight, but it was probably so used to it that it didn't make a diffrence.
It seemed like ages when one of us broke away.
"I can never get used to that" He huffed, clearly out of breath. Just as a side note, bird mutants do NOT get out of breath easily.
"Used to what?" I whispered resting my head right on his chest, his heart.
"Kissing you" I must have smiled for he added.
"Not like that's the last time it's going to happen, right?" I opened my eyes, looking into his. His eyebrow arched over his eyes comically.
"What are you saying, Fang?" I raised my eyebrows as well, feeling his heart turn into a thunderstorm underneath my ear. He grinned, a rare sight and dramatically pulled me up so I was sitting.
"I'm asking you to be my girlfriend, and you of course have to say yes"
"So ask me"
"Will you Maximum Ride, to the honor of being my girlfriend, officially?" His mouth curved into a lop sided smile. Fang was the only one to do that, to make my heart beat so hard and fast that I could almost faint.
"Well of course" I felt a smile twitch at the corners of my mouth as I sloppily bent down to kiss him. I was frozen in my tracks. A voice rasped from the door.
"What? Max..?" I swerved my head to meet the ocean blue eyesthat I knew the voice to belong to. I felt Fang inhale under me.
Dylan.
So... how was it? Reviews are more then welcome, they really make my day. I was wondering if you would want it more romance-like or action-packed? Also tell me if my writing is out of character xD I don't want to change the characters. Anyway, Thanks for reading my story.
-Max ( aka. The author)
