You Set Him on Fire?

Max's POV

I woke up Saturday morning way more comfortable than usual. I looked up and I swear I thought I died and was wrapped in the arms of an angel.

He was so adorable when he sleeps. His mouth hung just barely open and his hair looks like a bird's nest but it looks good on him. Fang was officially my dark angel.

I decided to just let him sleep since he looked so peaceful. I was going to go back to sleep when I heard a huge thud.

"Ouch, why do I always wake up from a good dream by falling on the ground? Screw you floor, I hate wood." I didn't know who the voice was but had my guesses.

"Good morning to you too Iggy. Can you do me a favor and save me before I die from the smell of Fang's axe?" I said.

"No way. I actually think you look comfy. I'll go get the camera." I heard his footsteps going down the hallway. Without a second thought I rolled to the floor taking Fang with me. Surprisingly, Fang didn't even stir in his sleep. Good heavens; he could sleep through a hurricane and not even notice.

"Yo, Fang get up. Your biceps are crushing me. Fang! Get the h-e- double hockey sticks up!" I tried shouting and yet got nothing.

So, I did what any other person would have done in my situation. I smacked him…hard.

"OW! Nudge I'm gunna kill you if you wake me up by slapping me like you did at camp last year." He said groggily.

"Fang, it's Max. Could you do me a favor and let me go. Your biceps are seriously gunna kill me now." I responded.

He looked at me with half-lidded eyes. He had a look of confusion on his face.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know." He extracted his arms from my waist and I instantly regretted telling him to let go. I should have said,' if you take your arms from around me I will kick you in the nuts.'

Instead I smiled and said it was okay. "Stand up. I can hear Iggy coming up the stairs." I stood up and wiped my butt off just as Iggy walked in the room.

"Aw, why'd you guys get up? Party poopers." He said, pretending to be upset but failing miserably due to his terrible acting skills.

I was going to smack him in the head when Gazzy decided to wake up with one of his 'special talents'. I swear that boy has something serious going on with his body.

"EEEWWWW!" at first I thought it was Nudge who squealed but it turns out it was Iggy.

Fang must have heard it too because he bust out laughing. I can't believe it. He never laughs out loud, just chuckles.

I was going to make fun of him when the smell hit my nose. I started gagging and ran out the room faster than you can say banana.

"Oh no, we left my sister in there! We can't leave her to die!" said Fang. I thought he was serious but when I looked at him there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"Haha. Let's just go get breakfast." I replied. I headed downstairs towards the kitchen. My mom wasn't up yet so, I guess we were on our own.

"So, what do you want?" asked Fang.

"Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I know exactly how to get it made." I turned to Iggy and said, "I'm going to make pancakes, want some?"

A look of pure terror flashed on front of Iggy's face. "NO! Last time you tried to make breakfast you set me on fire. Leave the cooking to me." He said.

Fang turned to me and said, "You set him on fire?"

"It was an accident." Was all I said and followed Iggy into the kitchen.

"Fang. Make sure Max stays away from the kitchen or you might be the one on fire next time." Called Iggy.

Fang turned me around and pulled me onto his shoulder. I didn't fight him because I was used to being flung over a shoulder when trying to go into the kitchen. Except this shoulder wasn't Gazzy's.

"You know, I'm eventually going to get into the kitchen so hide all things flammable!" I shouted at Iggy. I felt Fang's body vibrate as he chuckled.

I was plopped onto a couch a few minutes later. Fang sat down next to me and pulled me into his lap.

"So you won't escape." He said. I couldn't argue with him because his lap was so comfortable. I just settled myself in his lap and tried to doze off.

I was nearly sleeping when I heard someone come down the stairs. They must have missed a step because the next thing I knew there was tumbling Nudge going down the stairs.

What really surprised me was when she reached the bottom and didn't even move. I thought she died but I heard her snoring.

"Not again, Nudge get up. You always do this. Make sure you're actually awake before going down the stairs." Fang sighed at his adoptive sister and went to help her up.

"I'm guessing Nudge isn't a morning person." I teased. Fang gave me a look that said, 'please help me'. I laughed and went to help him out but before I got over there Nudge got irritated and tried to smack Fang in the face. I guess he was used to it because he just ducked his head out of the way and picked her up bridal style…then dropped her.

"OUCH! Fang I told you last time that if you dropped me on the floor again I'm gunna send you to the hospital. You better know your blood type." She shouted as she got up to chase Fang around.

It was hilarious to watch an upset Nudge chase after a scared looking Fang. I learned to never mess with Nudge; she is very scary when she's peeved off.

"Foods done!" shouted chef Iggy.

Right after he said that Ella and Gazzy rushed down the stairs. Yeah, my friends love Iggy's cooking. You would too if you tried any.

Nudge stopped chasing Fang at the sound of food and headed towards the kitchen with the others, Fang and I following behind.

"This food is so amazing Iggy. How did you learn to cook like this? Your pancakes are so fluffy and your eggs are so cheesy. Mmm, and your bacon is just the right amount of crispy." Gazzy putting his hand over saved us from an hour of the Nudge channel.

"So what are we gunna do today?" he asked.

"I don't know Gaz. What have you and Nudge seen since you got here?" I asked Fang.

"Nothing except our school and the inside of your house." He responded.

"Then it's official. We are taking you guys to the best place in town…" I said. "WATERPARK!" Gazzy, Iggy, Ella, and I shouted together.

"Max will you walk with me to my house?" asked Ella. I should've said no.

Thirty minutes later I was being shoved into Ella's closet with a black bikini top and zebra print bottoms in my hands.

"I can't believe you agreed to walk with me to my house. I would have thought you of all people would be one step ahead of me." She said on the other side of the door.

"Shut up Ella! I was just trying to be a good friend." I shouted back. I put on the bikini and headed out the door.

"Fine, I'll wear the stupid bikini." I gave up after staring at the Bambi eyes for 10 seconds. I just couldn't resist her when she had the eyes of a baby deer that just watched his mom get shot.

She clapped her hands and headed out the door in her brown bikini with flowers over both pieces.

This was gunna be a long day.
