Chapter 4- Max needs pain killers

Fang's POV

We landed in a nice cosy and warm (note my sarcasm) cave after 4 hours of intense flying, from the Big M.

All of the flock insisted on having a rest and re-energizing their energy. Max groaned but actually agreed.

I snickered at her reaction and she death glared at me. Her stare then turned into a little smile, as she turned to face Nudge.

Wait, she smiled at me. Does that mean we're all good? That our awkwardness was settled? I haven't actually thought about what happened at the hotel until right now. She needed to know that-

"And what was that guy thinking calling you FAT?!" Nudge yelled, interrupting my thoughts.

As if I don't get enough of the Nudge channel at normal voice she has to scream at the top of her voice as well. Charming.

My mind froze, when she had mentioned the Jerk at Macca's though. Ugh, he didn't even deserve to be alive. Okay, maybe that's over exaggerating… but still.

"I have no idea Nudge. Let's just drop it ok?" Max replied in a lazy tone.

Geez, if I ever see the Jerk again, he was going to get a mouthful from hurting my Ma- wait. Was I about to say my Max?! Ugh, now I think it's my time to rest and re-energizing.

"You okay, Fangalator? You seem distracted." Gazzy asked, with optimism in his voice. Since he was part of this Flock, I resisted my urge to strangle him. Fangalator?! Greattt.

"Haha! That's a new one. Nice work Gaz." For the first time in what seemed like ages, Max actually smiled. It was kinda nice.

Total POV

There was this little smirk on the side of Fang's mouth. What the hell was his problem?

Hmm… mouth. You put food in your mouth. Man, I am starving!

"Excuse me-"

"I'm gonna hit the sack guys." I was rudely interrupted by Max.

As she began to walk to her room, Angel looked at me sincerely.

"What did you want, Total?"

"Nothing!" I said in a huff, as I sat in the corner and lay down to sleep.

Iggy just shrugged and one by one each of the Flock found a special area in the "big" cave, and went to bed as well.

Except for Fang. He was heading straight to Max's "room". Ha. This should be interesting.

Max's POV

There was a comfy spot of cold rock and stone, which was probably where I was sleeping. Ooh… goody. The luxury life!

I head soft footsteps come closer towards my direction. It was really hard to make out who it was, from the dimness of the cave. Man, how did Iggy recognize these footsteps? Wait… I think I just answered my own question. For once in my life.

"Max?"

I recognized that voice though. (Although Iggy probably is more of an expert than me on this one.) Fang.

Ugh, did he have to come now? Couldn't he wait till I was ready? AND WHY ARE THERE NO STUPID HIDING PLACES IN THIS CAVE!!!

"Yeah…" I managed to respond. You know what would help. Some nice wide wings that can get me to- oh wait. I have wings!! Ok, umm… I know I could jump off a ledge right now and soar in the sky, but something was telling me to stay. Ugh, freakin' dignity.

"Can I come in?" He asked. There was so much tension in his voice. It was drop dead sexy.

"Well… there's not really any entrance or exit, so I guess the answer is yes!" I said, jokingly.

Fang just simply stared at me, as he came and sat down on a rock next to me. That dude seriously needs to get a sense of humour.

"Max…" His voice gave me shivers down my spines. "About what happened at the hotel- I hope you were okay with-"

"Psshh… of course I'm fine!" I interrupted him so rudely. "In fact, it was amazing!"

Crap!!! Why did I say that?! My face began to flush up, as an embarrassed Fang looked at me with stunned eyes.

Okay, I'd come up with a quick recover for what I would say next.

"I- umm, well I-I didn't mean…" STUTTERING. That was my big epiphany. While Fang would be getting humour classes, next-door I would be taking English lessons. Everybody wins.

Thinking about this, I didn't notice Fang gestured his hand, to hold mine. His warm soft skin griped my cold and tough hand, and his lips turned into a graceful smile.

Oh geez, where was this going?

"Max… I need you to know the truth."

My heart started pounding. I could feel trickles of sweat coming down my forehead.

That's it! I thought to myself. No more feelings being poured out. I don't want the truth!

I was about to storm out of my "room", when a 6 year old mutant gave me an eering headache.

NOOOO MAX! Stay. Fang needs to tell you.

I winced in pain, as Fang looked at me with concern. Why can't people make pain killers for this kind of stuff?

"You okay?" He said, startled by my reaction.

"Umm… yeah. It's just Angel."

Fang's worry turned into awkwardness. "Uh, what'd she say?"

"That you had something to tell me. That I needed to know the truth."

We both sat in silence for what seemed like hours. Fang finally broke our blissful peace. Note to self: Never say Fang and blissful in the same sentence EVER again.

He took a deep breath in and exhaled. Oh god, he never took deep breaths in. Quick! Knock him out with your super-cool strength.

"Okay, Max. You wanna know the truth?"

"Well, that would be nice, yes!"

Fang looked down at the ground, as he fiddled with some stones he found on the ground. Holy Crap, he never fiddled.

"Fang…" Our eyes connected. "Please, just tell me. You're freaking me out. And that takes a lot of work, believe me!"

"Maximum Ride- I love you."

I nearly chocked on my spit. My heart felt like it was gonna flop out of my butt. Not only for Fang's statement, but for the flock of Flying Cows that were heading straight in our direction.

"Erasers!" I screamed, for the whole Flock to hear.

Looks like my feelings towards Fang were going to have to wait for a while.

I did a mental punch in the air.
