After F/N
9 Months of Madness
Alec sat besides Max on her bed just holding her. As they sat there his mind raced with thoughts he felt he shouldn't be having.
Max's head lay heavy against Alec's chest as she fought off another dizzy spell. After nearly fainting Alec had brought her over to her bed. Now they sat there together him just holding her.
"Max?" He asked in a small voice.
" Yes?" she asked looking up at his hansom face.
" I've been thinking." He began slowly.
" That can't be good." She remarked.
" Maxie?" His face, a hurt expression, became a smirk just as her smile fell. Her arm connected with his shoulder in a light tap. In habit he mouthed on 'ow'. A triumph smile brightened Max's face. " Maxie?" He made a puppy-dog face that made Max brake out giggling.
" Don't start that." She giggled. Alec watched her just wishing he could hold onto these moments forever. But nothing ever lasts does it?
The door to Max's apartment opened to reveal Logan. His face fell and the flowers he held in his hand appeared to wilt. " Alec." The older man barked as a greeting.
" Logan." Alec nodded his head slightly. Logan's eyes shot daggers at the position at which the two sat on Max's bed. After the events on the roof when they were raising the flag he had thought she was his again. His grip tightened on the bouquet, crushing the delicate stems. ' She shouldn't be with him, she's mine!' he thought as rage swelled within him.
" Hey Logan." Max answered as if she couldn't feel the tension in the room. " Why are you here?" She asked in a slightly confused tone. Logan turned his attention towards Max, his face softening at once.
" Just wanted to bring you these." He explained while extending the brightly colored flowers. For some reason max felt the flowers didn't seem right. They were indeed pretty and smelled wonderful but they didn't seem right. She couldn't shake the feeling as she took the flowers from the older man.
" Thank you Logan." Her voice held no special feeling to it. " I'll put these in some water." She got up a little reluctantly form Alec's side. After a willful glance at the dirty blond transgenic she headed off to find a vase. Both Alec and Logan's eyes followed her towards the kitchen.
" So what you doing her?" Logan asked after a moment. Alec shrugged his shoulders before answering.
" Just stopped by to see Max." Alec found himself running his fingers through his hair. He noticed Max's chocolate brown eyes fixed on him as she filled the vase with water. " I think I'll be go…" he stopped as Max began shaking her head furiously. " Or maybe not." He sat back down a smirk on his face. ' What's up with Max?' He asked himself. After finding no answer to his question he turned his attention back to Max and Logan. The two talked as if just friends. Chewing over the weather or the standing of the transgenic against the normals. Alec listened silently making an opinion every now and again, when called upon that is.
As they talked Max realized just how different she and Logan were from one another. It almost shocked her to find his place in her hart had slipped. But she had known for a long time now that they could never be together. It didn't surprise her that Alec had somehow claimed part of her hart for himself. After these realizations had been made she felt more at easy with the situation and felt no guilt as Logan took his leave.
Max felt short of breath as she looked over the counter top at Alec. The words she had planned to say dissolved before even leaving her mouth. 'How did this happen?' She asked her-self.
" So Max." Alec began his brow twisted into a question mark. " Why did you ask me to stay?" He asked.
Max couldn't find the words in her head. Every thing she thought of would only bust his ego and so Max kept her lips in a firm line. " Fine don't answer me Maxie." He put on a puppy-dog face and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Max's lips curved into a smile for she knew him enough to know he was only kidding.
" Alec I…" She couldn't continue for the room spun before her eyes causing her to shrink to the stable ground. Alec rushed to her side as she sat there on the tiled floor.
A/N: What will happen next? What is the end of Max's sentence? Why am I asking these questions?
A/N 2: By the way my other story Naked has nothing to do with this story at all. (Expect for the pairing.)
