It was suffice to say that Iggy was pressed against the plane windows for pretty much the entire time, and when he wasn't watching all of the birds and clouds that they passed, he was snuggled in Fangs lap telling him about how excited he was to get to see a beach and all the things he'd missed when they were running from erasers.
"Not that I exactly miss the running from them part, but I finally get to see everything! And we're gonna live in a beach house! An Actual house that we didn't build by ourselves or have to break into!" He leaned in closer to Fang and sighed, "I probably sound way over excited..." Fang smiled and pulled him even closer if possible.
"You sound the exact right amount of excited to me..."
Max watched from a distance as the two snuggled and whispered to each other. Her shoulders went limp and she turned away. It should be her, not Iggy. She sighed to herself, not knowing that Angel was clued in to her every thought. The little girl watched the back of her head, a depressed look on her face. She jumped when Alycia tapped her on the shoulder.
"You read minds, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Whats the boss lady thinking that's got you all down in the dumps?" Kat looked over quickly at her, watching to make sure she didn't offend anyone. Angel just looked down and turned away.
"You know your brother's boyfriend?"
"Yeah. He has a name..."
"Well, Max was - and still is - in love with him. So it hurts to see them being all lovey dovey with each other." Alycia nodded a bit and looked around thinking. Finally she looked back at Kat, a solemn look that seemed so unnatural on a little girl on her face and sighed. Kat nodded at her and motioned to her lap, prompting Alycia to snuggle up to her.
Iggy watched them slightly, until Kat looked up at him. He smiled and turned back to Fang.
"Our sisters are cute."
"I know," Fang smiled, "So are you" Iggy kissed him as a reward for his sweet talk. They continued to talk like that as the girls fell asleep and the flight came to an end. Iggy looked back out the window and smiled.
"Yay! Florida!" Iggy shouted
"Meh, It's not that yay.." Max mumbled. Nudge looked up a little but looked back down. Nowadays she was usually afraid to say anything, believing that this entire thing was her fault. Gazzy got up and ran to the exit of the plane and threw open the door and looked around. Nobody. He looked at Max, pleading. In her state she didn't really care what anyone did, as long as it got her away from Fang and Iggy being gay and all, so she nodded. He jumped out with all his strength and let his wings loose. The Florida sun felt great, so he decided to fly around for about ten minutes, then land back down to the rest of the expectant flock members. They all looked at each other and smiled, letting they're wings out, and practically moaning at the wonderful feeling. A few of them giggled when Fang's hand flew to Iggy's mouth instinctively. Max moved in front of the rest, about to begin explaining whatever she needed too.
"Okay people, First off, we have to wait about twenty minutes for a car to get here, so just lay around and do your thing. The house should have more than enough rooms for all of us, sense Iggy and Fang will be sharing one with us actually knowing this time," She said with a pointed almost smirk at Fang, which he returned with a smile. Angel smiled a bit, thinking that it might not go so badly. They all sat around with their wings out until they saw the car coming, at which point they pressed them tightly to they're backs and waited for it to stop. When it finally got to them, Iggy jumped up and ran to it.
"WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!" Gazzy and Alycia Laughed and followed his lead, Nudge and Angel close behind, Kat and Fang watching each other to see who would go to their lover first. Watching it all made Max feel so...lonely. But eventually when they were all packed into the car, Alycia in Iggy's lap from lack of room, they made their way to the beach house. On the way all of the younger children fell asleep, so Iggy, Fang, Max, and Nudge carried them in. It reminded them how young they were, which in turn reminded them how bad it was that they'd had to go through everything. Not only that, but two of them were dead. When they made it inside and put all of the kids to bed, they wondered around the house, until Iggy found the kitchen.
"Oh. My. God... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" He walked around the huge room, admiring everything about it.
"We have a dish washer," Fang noted with a hint of joy, even though he had no idea how to work one. Once he was finished, Iggy plopped down on the couch.
"It's still light outside... What should we do?" Fang looked around, then got up, telling his lover he'd be right back. He found Max and tapped her shoulder, making her jump. He still loved how silent he could be when he tried. He smiled lightly at her, trying to keep the peace but, also trying to show that he really did care about her, just not like that anymore. Just not the way he cared about Iggy. She at least attempted a smile.
"What is it, Fang?"
"Is this place packed with food yet or do we have to go out and buy it ourselves?" She thought for a moment, then remembered that part of the conversation she'd had with her mom, "We have about four months worth of food for all of us. Why?" He smiled to himself then looked back at her.
"No reason." With that he ran to the kitchen silently enough not to let Iggy know what he was doing. A few moments later Iggy felt him kiss his cheek and smiled, looking up at him. He had a basket on his arm and a smile on his face.
"We're going for a picnic on the beach."
Iggy: JESUS I AM SORRY FOR MY OWN EXISTENCE! I can't get anything out at the right time!
Nudge: You were a lot behind but people might understand writers block on Figgy... And you had a lot to do...
Iggy: That excuse isn't good enough *Chibi tears of doom* Alright I guess. At least I got it out. But next chapter is all the steamy stuff, so kids, STAY OUT OF THAT CHAPTER!
