Embarrassment

Max's POV

Truth and Dare. Angel's idea. I'm telling you she was obsessed. She seemed to want to play it all the time. "Who first then?" I asked. And we all looked over at Fang. "What are you all looking at me for?" He asked when he noticed we where all staring at him. A grin crept across Angel's face as she looked from me to him back to me. This can't be good. I gulped. "Fangs first" Angel sniggered. I saw Fangs shoulders slump. "Dare" He muttered.

"I dare you to do what we were talking about before" Angel smiled. Fang sighed. "In my own time Angel, in my own time" Fang mumbled.

"Tonight!" Angel shot back. Fang sighed and then finally nodded.

"Ok then…but later" He said defeated.

That had us all intrigued. "Who's next?" Fang asked quickly trying to change the subject. "Gazzy?" He said. Gazzy shrugged.

"Sure whatever!" he laughed. "Truth"

"Did you used to fancy Nudge?" I smiled. Iggy stiffened next to me. Gazzy turned a brighter shade of pink.

"YES!!" Angel suddenly shouted out and I noticed Iggy balling up his fists. I put my hand on his shoulder trying to calm him down. I need to ask him about that. "That's no fair, you can't read my mind, I was planning on lying." Gazzy moaned.

"You can't lie in truth and dare!" Angel pointed out. Suddenly Gazzy leapt up and started attacking Angel. I screamed in pain. Angel was on my lap. Suddenly they both got up off me and froze. "Max I'm so sorry, I forgot I didn't mean to!" Gazzy said. I shook my head.

"Forget about it Gazzy" I smiled thinly. My body still killing me. I got up and walked away planning on walking off most of my pain as I had been feeling pretty useless today not being able to do anything. "Fang you're in charge till I get back" I winced as I limped off.

Fang's POV

"Fang..now's your chance...go" Angel urged me. I finally got up off my seat and walked after Max "Iggy you're in charge" I said. I followed the track Max had left and found her sitting on her own in a clearing. "Hey" I said walking up to her and sitting down beside her. She looked at me and smiled. "Hey, I thought I left you in charge" she laughed. It felt good to hear her laugh. "Yep...and I left Iggy in charge so I could see if you where ok" I said. Smooth or what. "Look...Max about the truth and Dare."

"Yeah...what was with Angels dare for you?"

"Well...when Angel came over to me before, she was talking to me, in our heads, she told me to tell you how I really feel. About you, about us" I said. This was getting awkward. There was no way I could do this, but I had to, I had to tell her. "Don't worry fang" I heard angels voice in my head. "She feels the same way"

I smiled. Angel was helpful but I couldn't help wishing her to get out of my head. No doubt she'd told the whole flock by now and the whole relationship thing just wasn't my style.

"Oh...Ok, I understand" I heard Max sigh. I looked at her confused.

"What?" I asked.

"Well you obviously came over to tell me something that I probably don't wanna hear but I just want you to know I understand" Max replied.

"No...What I mean to tell you is, your great Max, the way you treat the whole flock and the way you handle everything. Your beautiful and funny and I like everything about you, but..." I started.

"But you don't like me, is that what you're trying to say?" Max said. I shook my head, this wasn't going well.

"No Max..." I leaned in closer "I love you" I whispered before going in for a full on kiss. I tilted my head and put my arms around her back. She put her arms round my neck and there was a lot of snogging action. After a while Max pulled away. "I don't know if I can do this...I'm sorry" She said and she limped off. I ran after her and grabbed her. I dragged her into the air and flew over to a cliff side. "Max...tell me you love me back please" I said. Max looked away.

"Fang...I do love you, but I can't do it, I can't do the relationship thing" She said solomnly.

"Whoa...and I thought I was meant to be Mr Emotionless" I smiled. She laughed again but she winced and clutched her rib. I took her hand in mine. "Max, I know you love me, just tell me please" I pleaded looking into her eyes. Max nodded. "Yes, I love you Fang, but it can't be, what if we fell out then we'd never be able to speak to one another again, I don't think I can handle that" She cried. I tightened my grip on her hand "Well we'll just have to make sure we don't fall out." I smiled.

I leaned in again expecting her to lean away but she didn't. Again I pulled her closer to me and tilted my head. I opened my mouth and slid my tounge across her bottom lip. As if reading my mind she opened her mouth. Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck once more and mine wrapped around her lower back. Heaven. We pulled away from each other to breath but as I went to lean in yet again but Max pulled away. "This is wrong, we should be out looking for Nudge" She pointed out.

"You can't go anywhere in the state you're in" I smiled and picked her up and we flew off into the night sky together back to our camp for the night.

Iggy's POV

Fang had gone and left me in charge. I went over to where the Gasman had been sitting. "So did you really fancy Nudge?" I asked thinking about truth before.

"Yeah...but that was years ago...don't worry mate she's all yours now" Gazzy laughed. I laughed fakly and thought "If we ever see nudge again"

Max and Fang came back together and Angel announced that Fang had done his dare. "I'll take first watch." Fang said to me and I slowly drifted off to sleep thinking of Nudge.
