A/N: I did not forget you my friends! Here is my latest update! )

So slowly, the kiss broke apart. But…I can't describe it as 'broken'. Why? Because….right then, everything in my whole world felt, well, whole. Like the kiss wasn't gone forever, just locked away in our hearts for another day.

Fang gently stroked my neck and held me in his arms. I began to wonder how we ever managed to leave each other. I began to wonder how long this would last. And I prayed that it would last for all of eternity. I think….I'm finally getting my happy ending.

I spoke quietly into Fang's ear. "Someone needs to get in bed and be a good little patient."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you had a curfew." Fang replied, using his smooth teasing voice.

I gently (well….kind of gently) kicked Fang's shin before responding. "You, bed, now!" I said with authority. "Really, if my mom comes over to check on you tomorrow, and she will come over to check on you tomorrow, and finds you haven't been sleeping like you should, she'll practically bite my head off!" I added strongly. No way was I going to face the wrath of my mom. She could be a very scary person at times.

Fang just rolled his eyes and sighed (I also noticed how he 'inconspicuously' rubbed his shin). "Fine…" I almost, almost, mind you, laughed at how much he sounded like a grumbling child.

I squeezed his hand and got up. Then, possibly overdoing it, I patted him on the head. "Good boy. 'Night Fang.'

Fang scowled at me, but I found humor deep in his eyes. "'Night Max."

I made my way to the bedroom door and closed it behind me as I left. In the hall, I leaned against the frame, letting it support me. I sighed, reflecting on all that had happened since the reunion at the mountain.

I slipped into bed five minutes later, exhausted beyond belief. I then slipped into a realm of silver-tinted dreams.

I awoke but five hours later to a scream.
