I was sick while I wrote this one, so if you see typos and other shtuff (meant to do that) that's okay. I apologize in advance.

Fang P.O.V
We sat there for a long time. The remains of my shirt were dripping with tears by the time she finally stopped and looked up at me. Her eyes were bright red from crying and she was still freezing cold.
"Where's the flock, Max?" I asked.
"They didn't bother them at all. It was me they wanted." She whispered her voice hoarse from crying. I nodded.
"Where the hell did they find you? You're so cold." I couldn't help asking. She smiled at that.
"I fell into a lake." She almost laughed.
"How could you have gotten so cold though?"
"Well, it was snowing like no tomorrow, and the lake was iced over." She said simply. Of course. I had no idea what the weather was like right now. I hadn't seen the light of day for nearly a week. We sat in silence for a while, until I decided it was time to tell her why she was here.
Max P.O.V
Fang stiffened with me in his arms. He tends to do that when he's going to say something bad, really bad. He grabbed my shoulders, spun me around and sat me down on the cage floor next to him, as if he couldn't stand to look at my face.
"Max, do you know why you're here?" his voice was stiff, and the words were tight and offered no wiggle room.
"I think so.." I trailed off.
"Max, do you know why you are here?"
"Fang, what's going on?"
"They brought you here to die."
"Really, well that's not much of a change is it?" I growled sarcastically.
"They're doing a new experiment. They aren't experimenting on us, they're performing one experiment."
"What?"
"This experiment will kill us both, no doubt, if we don't work together. The whitecoats' main goal is to see how long 'til we snap apart. How much it takes to break our relationship. Then they are pushing us to the limit. They want to see how long we can last, Maximum." This was bad. Real bad. Fang had called me 'Maximum'. He only does that when there's a damn big problem hanging over our heads.
"How do you know this?" My voice cracked. Fang still hadn't looked at me.
"I've been listening to what they say. They thought I was too far gone to understand English."
"What do you mean, 'too far gone'" This was scaring me.
"I mean 'getting close to the end of the experiment." He glared at the door as if there were some feud going on in-between them. They had almost killed him. I looked him up and down, and for the first time I took in his full appearance.
His arms were thin, but still wired with muscle, his face was covered in scars and scratches left from the fight with the Omegas, he was a mess. As I looked closer, I was noticing all the little things. One eye was turned up in the slightest hint of a grimace, he was leaning slightly towards me, and the way he kept his head low, as if always searching for something, on alert.
"God, Fang." Was all I could choke out. I scooted closer to him, and let him lean against me. I put my arm around his shoulder, attempting to give him a little squeeze. The grimace got bigger and I pulled my arm back.
He was leaning on me much heavier after a while. I wondered how long it had been since he had slept. I angled my head and saw he was dead asleep. Careful, so as not to touch his shoulder, I pulled him into the cleanest corner and laid him down. He was so cute when he slept.
Fang P.O.V
I leaned on Max. She better think this a favor. I don't usually subject to weakness around here. Before I could stop myself, I fell asleep, right on her.
Crap, I was dreaming. Every time I slept, I dreamt of some of the horrible things they had done to me. I purposely had been avoiding sleep because of it.
Burning, burning. The fire lapped at my feet. The whitecoats had put me in some kind of a forest fire. Running from corner to corner, I exhausted every exit point. No-where to go. Something shot me in the back of the head, and everything went black.
Now I'm in room full of Omegas, Erasers, Flyboys, all of the whitecoats previous experiments. They all charge at once. Fighting, they have guns, I have my bare hands. I couldn't think. I hadn't eaten in days at that point. I took hit after hit, got shot once, and inflicted almost no damage. Something shot me in the back of the head, and everything went black.
I'm hanging in the air above a massive pool. There are chains locking every limb in place. There's a horrible clanking sound and I'm dropped into the water. The chains drag me down. I can barely move. I thrash my legs and manage to stay in one place for five seconds. That's all I have strength for. I fall lower. Something shot me in the back of the head, and everything went black.

Fang was twitching in his sleep. Come to think of it, I had never seen him sleep before. He was so cute. He looked so helpless. Did I just say helpless? That was a mistake. If Fang had heard that, I would be dead and gone by now. I was sitting next to his sleeping form, practically keeping watch. I tucked my windbreaker around me a little tighter. I looked Fang over again. His shirt was gone. Lost in some experiment. He was shivering slightly, and I wrapped my windbreaker around him.
I didn't last very long. I got too cold. I lay down next to him, sharing the windbreaker. I twisted to my side and hugged Fang to me, sharing heat. I fell asleep right then and there.
Sorry this one took so long. I've been sick lately.
Was this one cute? Too mushy gushy, or MORE!?
R&R?
