SORRY LOVES. Birthday Weekend, totally forgot to update! This is longish, to make up for it. Hope you like it xD I did it sweating in the dark with a back ache...3

*Disclaimer: The Usual

As I looked around the room, I saw beautiful faces. Bright and glowing, happy, laughing, with smiles bigger then sky. I could see it all, see my family, how amazing they really were as they giggled and reminenced. Max gently slapping Gazzy's shoulder as he joked, and looking down at Fang contently. Ella next to Iggy, smiling softly and scanning the room, and as jealous as I should be that his arm was over hers, I wasn't the least bit so. Angel bright pink and cheerful, Ms. Martinez sitting on the couch, watching us sweetly. And Iggy, oh Iggy, smilinging at everyone as if he could see us. But that was the thing, to all of us, we were perfectly normal. We were a family, and me, I was complete.

"Earth to Nudge." Max said, snapping me out of my trance.

"Hmm?" I mumbled, blinking hard.

"I said, pass the cookies." She said, gesturing towards her oh so favorite chocolate chip. The smell lingering in the air, knotting my stomach in hunger. I ignored it, and grabbed one for her.

"NOW MAX!" Angel yelled, pleading, she'd been waiting for 12:00 all day. We weren't very traditional, but all very impatient. So every Christmas Eve, at 12 o'clock, we all opened one present. Usually the one Ms. Martinez bought for us, we liked saving the ones from the flock for Christmas morning. Angel ran to the tree, a sad tree really, not very grand, yet bright and decorated.

We all giggled at Angel's innocent excitement, and Max nodded. We went to sit around the tree, and Max searched for the gifts, them all tangled in branches. She pulled out some, handing one for Angel, Ella, and Fang. She gave Iggy one light green, a bow bright red slipping off the top. I saw her come at me with a yellow box, small, and tied with a blue bow.

"Here Nudge." She said, then went back behind the tree. I scanned it for a second, just watching how detailed it was wrapped. The yellow of the box was bright and demanding, reminding me so much of the days I spent with my cat eyed lover boy. Then the blue was rapped around it, deep and smooth, hidden yet showing, matching Iggy's fine orbs. They were always on my mind, no matter the moment. I snapped my head and came back to reality. I read the tag, To Nudge, you're a very special girl From Ella, said a girly, swirly, script.

I looked at it, determining a way that wouldn't require me to murder the time taken box. I slowly pulled the ribbon, untying the bow. Then took the cover off the box, surrounded by cushion wasn't what I expected. Not jewelry, nothing quite expensive. Instead were tickets, two, to some fair that must be coming up. It was a hot winter, and on-the-road carnivals took no shame in taking advantage of it. A note on top read, we need to spend more time together (; .

That very moment I felt like the worst person alive. Worst then a serial killer of 17, or a cannibal. I made Ella the satin in all the fairy tales, when really she was the good guy. I looked up at her, and her face glowed. It was blushed a bit in suspense, but happy, and questioning. It took all my shame to smile brightly at her, I looked back at the tickets. Then gently put them back in the yellow box, and closed it.

I looked at everyone, Angel ecstatically looking at the new purple dress Ms. Martinez had bought her. Max playing with whatever device she attained. Iggy looking at the new clothes he'd gotten, obviously not his style. Gazzy a bomb kit, of course.

"I'll be in my room." I said sweetly, so they wouldn't think I was mad, I took my yellow box and raced up the stairs. On my way to my room I saw the blue door that sang my name. I turned to it, it read in white letters, "Iggy". I stared it down for a second, debating my next action, then touched the doorknob and opened the door. It creaked loudly, and I quickly got inside. His whole room was blue, giving it a dark dim. The moons light shined from his huge window. I walked towards it, and used all my girly strength to open it. A big space led to the outside, and wind blew through my hair tickling my senses. I leaned against the rim and just breathed. The air feeling like heaven through my body.

"Next time I'll put a sign that says do not enter." He said, making his was next to me. His arm brushing against mine as he also leaned on the window.

"Sorry." I said, not turning his way, just giving my attention to the night sky. "Your window is huge." I added, and chuckled a little under my breath.

"I know right? But its better, for late night flying and all." He added.

"I have to squeeze myself through mine!" I responded, and we both laughed. "Its beautiful, out there." I said, gesturing to the moon and sky.

"So I've heard." He added, almost crest-fallen. I suddenly remembered his blindness. Its just that, when I'm with him, I can almost forget all I'll problems. Hes normal to me.

"Its dark blue, almost black. The moon tonight is round, full, bright. Like, a big white dot, that glows around the rims." I looked him, and he stared hard into the night, "..and, theres not a lot of stars out, so, its just big and empty. Never ending." I added.

"Thanks." He said, smiling from the side of his lips. I nodded.

"Oh." I said surprised, looking up from something green hanging from the window. Couldn't be.

"What?" He asked curiously.

"Its...nothing," I said quickly, panicked, "..Lets go, they are waiting downstairs.

"No, tell me." he said commandingly.

"Mistletoe..." I mumbled under my breath, head low.

Iggy's lips grew wide in a smirk then dropped suddenly. "Oh?" he said.

"I know, its stupid, lets just go." I said, turning away.

"Wait." he said, and I turned back to him. My heart running faster then race cars. He looked up at the green curse, then back to me. Then he leaned in, slowly, closing his eyes. As I watched him come towards me I stayed still, shocked, ready. Then he let out a big, "Ow!" holding his eye as something deep black flew by. I opened my eyes to see an owl, a black owl, with skinny eyes bright as sun. I almost re-thought my first accusation of it being an owl. It's familiar eyes looked back at me, almost pleading, it as creepy. Then it flew out of the window, disappearing into the dark.

I looked at Iggy concerned and still confused and spooked. "You ok?" I asked, obviously knowing he wasn't.

He laughed a little, then looked up at me, "How is it?" He asked. I looked at his eye, red a bit, water, but no harm done.

"Fine." I answered. Then we just stared at each other. The perfect moment was just ruined by a bird. A BIRD!. God..

"Iggy, Nudge, come down here." Max called down from the stair case. I shrugged my shoulders, "That was a failure, sorry Iggs." I said, turning and heading for the door.

But then soft hands gripped my arm, and spun me back around. My lips joined with soft sugary cushions. He smiled into the kiss, and I just let him lead. I was in utter shock, and complete utopia. Then my lips were released, and I heard the door close behind me.

I opened my eyes to only see the window, and the green curse hanging from it. He was gone, but I could still feel his smooth lips pressed hard against mine. The feeling would never go away.

There goes loves, your kiss, and your Niggy moment(: Hope it was fulfilling.
