Valuable Lessons

Max's POV

Fang and I were sitting on the living room couch, waiting for the rest of the Flock to wake up so we could talk about the owl letters and see if they received them too. Normally I would just go and wake every one up, but I wanted them to enjoy the time they had just being normal, or at least as normal as a bird-kid can get, and truth be told I was really enjoying just sitting here with Fang's strong arm wrapped around my waist and my head rested on his shoulder, it was relaxing. Which is something I'm usually not, relaxed, but I was tiered, after having are little episode on the roof, and I just wanted to be with Fang, 'cause something was telling me that we wouldn't have time for just us, after we talk to the rest of the Flock.

I lifted my head from his shoulder so that I could look at the clock, 6:48, I'll give them another hour to sleep but if they're not up by then, I'm getting them up. "One more hour," I muttered into Fang's shoulder.

"Sleep," he whispered in my hair, which really meant, you're exhausted Max, you need to sleep, I'll wake you when the Flock gets up.

"You'll wake me up, right?" I asked.

"Yep," he replied as he started to stoke my hair.

"One hour," I muttered, just barely audible, if it wasn't for are amazing hearing, Fang wouldn't have heard it.

He chuckled softly, and kissed my hair. "Sure," he mumbled, "Now sleep," I smiled into his chest, as I lulled to sleep, by Fang's steady breathing.

Fang's POV

Max and I were sitting on the couch; she was fast asleep, cuddled against my side. She looks so beautiful, when she's asleep. All the worry gone from her face, she really does worry too much. The Flock is growing up, not little kids anymore. I wished she could see that.

I lift my head from Max's -where it had been resting- and look at the time, 7:36, almost time for me to wake Max from her slumber.

My head returned to Max's. I then heard someone waking up, from up stairs. So I detangled myself from Max, what can I say neither of us are big on PDA, and if it's her mom, I don't exactly want her to see me this close to her daughter. I know what you're thinking fearless Fang, afraid of his girlfriend's mom. Yeah I know, but really that lady can be quite scary when it comes to Max and I.

So I lay Max of the couch, careful not to wake her. Then I moved to the chair and flipped on the TV, not really having a clue what I put on, and turned to are visitor.

And speak of the devil, it was Dr. M. Stay calm Fang, act casual, be cool, you got this in the bag.

She walks down the stairs and gives me a look, then turns her head to Max. She stares at Max for a moment then turns back to me, "Why is Max asleep on the couch?"

Crap! I haven't thought of a good excuse yet! "Uhhh…" yeah I stuttered live with it! "Umm…" save me!

"Wow Fang!" I turn my head and see Iggy, "I didn't know you were emo and gay!" What the fuck? "What Not to Wear, didn't know you had it in ya."

What Not to Wear! Were the hell did he get that? That's about when I turned to the TV and I learned a very valuable lesson, never turn on the TV and leave it on without seeing what's on. Like I said valuable.

Then Max started to wake up and muttered, "What's this with Fang being gay?" Iggy and her Mom just start laughing. Ha-ha very funny guys, very funny.
