Fang's POV
I finally did it (again). I kissed Max. And the best part? She didn't fight back. She didn't even launch herself into the sky away from me after I was done.
We're making some progress here.
I think that we're going to go back to the flock in a day or two. We've already been here three days. And I for one think Max is doing much, much better.
Max is just so warm, and cute, and strong, and stubborn, you can't help but love her. I still can't believe she went out with the wiener Sam back in Washington.
She still has something against redhead girls around me, which I find very amusing. Max is very cute when she pouts.
After I kissed Max, we decided to go back to the hotel to get some rest before taking off for the kids.
The elevator guy was glaring at us the whole time, as I took advantage of the small space (which scares Max) to put my arm around her and pull her closer. She ended up leaning on me, closing her eyes and nearly falling asleep standing up.
Max being still a little dizzy (from which I would like to think was my excellent kissing skills, but was probably just the need of rest) I ended up half carrying her half dragging her to our room. As I laid Max down on the first bed, she sighed and closed her eyes all the way.
I couldn't help but watch as her chest rose and fell with her breathing. Max looked more relaxed when she was sleeping than any other time, and maybe this hotel just had a certain charm, with the plush beds and cable TVs.
I went over and laid down on the bed next to Max's. The great thing about hotels is they always have two bedrooms available. As far I know, considering I have only stayed in three hotels in my life.
The sound of Max breathing made me strangely sleep, and before I know it, I was drifting off to dreamland. I opened my eyes to check the room before I fell asleep and landed on Max.
I knew what I would be dreaming of.
The next thing I know, I hear Max talking to me.
"Fang? Fang?"
"Hmmm?" I replied.
"Just wanted to make sure you were alive. You hardly breathe when you sleep you know." Max's eyes darted between my face and her hands. That's how I knew she was worried; Max always looks at her hands when she gets worried.
Max was sitting at the bottom of my bed, staring at me. I reached up, and before she knew it had her in an unbreakable circle in-between my arms.
"Hey." She tried to sound like she was complaining, but I knew she wasn't.
I pulled Max down next to me, and still with her in my hold, started to fall asleep. I felt Max relax too.
"Fang?" She asked again.
"Hmm." Was my reply (again.)
"When will we go back?"
"After you get some rest, now go to sleep."
I felt Max relax into me, and fall asleep.
I fell asleep too, and you can't imagine how great it felt right then. It seemed like everything would work out for once.
Max's POV
I woke up with my face in Fang's right shoulder and my arm around him. Fang had both his arms around my waist, and was resting his head above mine.
We probably look like the perfect young couple.
For some reason, this didn't disturb me, as it should have. After all, we were (if not perfect) superheroes, and kind of a couple I guess.
All I wanted at that moment was to stay here. But then I remembered my baby Angel, and the ever-talking Nudge, and the gassy Gazzy, and Iggy-the blind chef. I even thought about Total, the messed up talking dog, but then I remembered Total wouldn't make me want to come back.
I shifted the tiniest bit, but Fang opened his eyes immediately.
Fang frowned down at me.
"Max, please do me a favor."
At that point I would have done pretty much anything to stay with Fang.
"Depends what." I murmured into his shoulder.
"Tell me if you really do like me." Fang said in one breath.
" Fang…" I started.
"No Max! Just say yes or no."
I raised my eyes up to meet Fang's eyes, that weren't angry, but anxious and scared looking.
I lifted up my lips to meet Fang's.
"Yes." I whispered into his ear.
I felt Fang smile against my still going kiss. His arm hold may be unbreakable, but I wasn't complaining. I wasn't going anywhere soon.
As Fang deepened the kiss, we ended up laying sideways on the queen size bed, my feet intertwined with his. I wound my arms around his neck, not willing to let him go.
Fang stopped kissing me, but I knew we didn't have to leave any time soon.
Fang's lips moved down my cheekbone, causing me to shiver and making him laugh.
God I love the sound of his laugh.
Fang pressed his lips to mine once more before pulling himself up and me with him. I ended up halfway sitting in his lap, so he just pulled me in the rest of the way.
"I really do like the skirt." Fang laughed, eyes drifting down my leg.
"The lady at the store said you would." I laughed. "She also tried to get me to wear a prom dress. Prom! Can you imagine me there!"
"Actually, It's not as hard as you would think to see you there." Fang laughed lightly as he pulled me off the bed.
I pouted in protest, but he just laughed at me again.
"My lady, may I have this dance?" Fang asked, bowing.
"Of course sir knight." I laughed in reply as I took Fang's waiting hand and put the other on his shoulder as he slipped his left hand around my waist.
Dancing wasn't as hard as you would imagine. All I had to do was lean against Fang and let him wobble around the room.
See, easy peezy.
