A/N Yay! Chapter 12! Sorry, for so much fluff last chapter but I felt the need to deepen their relationship. If there are any letters that shouldn't be there in this chapter, I'm sorry. My backspace key fell off and so now I have to hit the button, which is puny compared to the key. To answer some reviews, no, this will not turn into a lemon.
Disclaimer: I really hate saying this but…..Idon'townMaximumRideoranysongsmen tionedinthisFanFiction! *Hyperventilates* that was hard.
Max POV
When I woke up the sky was darker outside. I checked the time and saw it was 2:00 pm. Fang was in the stage of wakefulness where you're not quite awake yet, next to me. His eyes opened a little wider and he blinked a few times. His midnight hair was scruffier than normal and his eyes looked groggy. I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed some bread and a butter knife, and then went to the fridge to get cheese, mayonnaise, and turkey. Ten minutes later I walked out with two sandwiches. Fang sat on the couch looking more alive.
As he looked at my hands holding the sandwiches his eyes got wide. I glared at him and handed the sandwich over. He took a dramatic bite before smiling at me with his approval.
"Ha ha, I'm dying from laughter." I said and glared at him. He shrugged and smirked up at me.
"Since you're not feeling the best I thought we could do something to cheer you up." I suggested.
"Like what?" Fang asked gesturing to his side as if saying 'I can't do anything.'
"Like….play a board game."
"Max, there's a reason they're called board games." He retorted.
"Well, Mr. Grumpy Pants, it was just a suggestion."
"Can you turn on the stereo right there?" Fang pointed to a stereo across from him near the other wall. I walked over and pressed the ON button.
Linkin Park's "Burn it Down" flooded its way through the speakers. I started to dance to the song and Fang raised an eyebrow.
"The cycle repeated,
as explosions broke in the sky.
All that I needed
was the one thing I couldn't find.
And you were there at the turn, waiting to let me know,
We're building it up
To break it back down.
We're building it up
To burn it down!
We can't wait to burn it to the ground.!
The colors conflicted,
as the flames climbed into the clouds.
I wanted to fix this
but couldn't stop from tearing it down.
And you were there at the turn
caught in the burning glow.
And I was there at the turn
waiting to let you know,
we're building it up,
to break it back down!
We're building it up,
to burn it down!
We can't wait
to burn it to the ground!"
I twirled around and Fang laughed. He started to rap the next part.
"You told me yes.
You held me high.
And I believed when you told that lie.
I played soldier
you played king.
And struck me down when I kissed that ring.
You lost that right, to hold that crown.
I built you up,
but you let me down.
So when you fall,
I'll take my turn
and fan the flames as your blazes burn."
I came in with the bridge as he finished the rap.
"And you were there at the turn,
waiting to let me know!
We're building it up,
to break it back down!
We're building it up,
to burn it down!
We can't wait to burn it to the ground!"
Fang came back in with the rap and we did a duet.
(Max, Fang)
" When you fall,
I'll take my turn.
And fan the flames as your blazes burn.
We can't wait,
to burn it to the ground!
When you fall,
I'll take my turn.
And fan the flames your blazes burn.
We can't wait,
to burn it to the ground!"
I sat down on the couch next to Fang as another song started to play. He genuinely smiled at me and I couldn't help smiling back.
"Nice dancing." He said chuckling at me. I smirked at him and said, "You just wish you could dance like me." He rolled his eyes. Another one of my favorite songs came on and I grinned at him.
"When I was younger I saw
my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
Broke his own heart and I watched,
as he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
that she would
never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
if it does not exist,
but darling you are
the only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
Well, maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone,
keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable
distance.
And up until now
I had sworn to myself
that I'm content
with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, you are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up!
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream!
Oowoahoahoaaaahhh!
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception!
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
You are
The only exception.
And I'm on my way to believin'.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believin'."
I finished the song staring into Fang's eyes. He looked back at me with such intensity that I couldn't look away. His tone was deep and serious.
"I will never leave you." He said and soon his lips were on mine. I kissed him and the world almost stopped. We broke apart gasping for air.
"I will never leave you, either." I told him and I meant it with every ounce of my being.
We spent the rest of the day listening to music and singing along. I danced to a few just to get Fang to smile at me. We talked of our favorite genres and artists for hours. By the time we got tired I realized it was 10:00 at night. I went to change into sweats and a T-shirt. I got out some pajamas for Fang and laid them on his bed.
"I laid some clothes out for you on the bed." I said as I walked into the living room.
"Thank you," Fang said as he got off the couch and walked to the bedroom. He was still a little stiff but he was better than yesterday. I heard the door to the bedroom close and I went to look for a pillow and blanket. I found some in the hall closet and set them down on the couch. I curled up with my head on the pillow and pulled the blanket over the top of me. My eyes closed. The bedroom door opened and closed again and footsteps made their way towards the living room. I felt Fang standing over me and I opened my eyelids. He was frowning down at me.
"What?" I said.
"You're not sleeping on the couch." He said.
"No, you're not sleeping on the couch." I stated.
"Yes, I am," He looked defiant.
"Fang, you're in no state to be sleeping on the couch."
"I'm fine, now go to bed, Maximum." Now, if anyone else had called me "Maximum" their face would've met my fist but this was Fang and the way he said it was music to my ears. I tried to glare at him when I said, "No."
"Max, I'm not fighting with you about this." He went to try to lift me and I nearly had a panic attack.
"Fang! Fine, but you're coming with me." I said trying to get him to stop this foolishness. He stood up and looked like he was thinking. It was clear he didn't want to violate me by sleeping in the same bed, so I assured him by telling him it was okay with me.
I got up and walked with Fang to his room. I crawled under the covers and gestured for him to lie down next to me. When we were situated I put my arms around him and laid my head on his shoulder. His arms came around my waist and we cuddled until we fell asleep.
A/N It's obviously kind of short but I need more suggestions for the story so that I know what you people want and I can incorporate it if I like it. I'm not saying that you are all writing the story, they're still my ideas, I just need inspiration for them as well as encouragement. This is my filler chapter.
