AN: Because I'm so nice, I decided to post this before I went to bed. :P Enjoy!

Chapter Two

Fang and I were going to have to share a bed. I stood up, turned around, and stared at the sofa, as if it could magically split it in two.

Unfortunately, it stayed in one piece.

"I'll sleep on the floor," Fang offered, stepping closer to place his food next to mine on the coffee table.

"No. We came here so we could relax. Take the bed; I'll sleep on the floor," I insisted.

Fang sighed. "Max, stop being stubborn. You know I'm not going to sleep on the bed while you're on the cold floor."

"Well, I was kind of hoping I could steal one of your blankets," I said with a grin. Fang's face stayed emotion-less, as usual.

"Either I take the floor-" he began, and I quickly cut in.

"No."

"-Or we share the bed."

I looked up at Fang, seeing if he was serious. After our two kisses, it would be…awkward, to say the least, to sleep in the same bed. As if on cue, I became aware of the dull ache in my body from the fight, and relented; it would feel nice to sleep in a soft, warm bed.

"Fine."

We sat down on the couch and began to eat our dinner in silence. The kids were laughing and talking loudly in their rooms, and I suddenly wished I were with them instead. I finished the last of my hamburgers and stood up, heading towards the boys' room.

"What're you doing?" Fang asked, standing up as well.

"Saying good-night to the kids," I responded, tapping lightly on the door.

"Come in," I heard a voice call from inside. I opened the door, revealing Gazzy and Iggy, shoving something under their bed. I rolled my eyes, knowing that they were trying to hide their bombs.

"Light's out," I said, walking over to the bed they were sitting on and sticking my fist out. Fang came in behind me, offering his fist, too. The four of us stacked fists, then Gazzy jumped out of bed and onto the one on the other side of the room.

"'Night, guys," I said, pausing at the door to flip off the lights.

"'Night, Max," they replied, their voices already slightly muffled by sleep. I smiled and stepped back into the center room, leaving the door open a crack behind me.

I headed towards the girls' room next, Fang trailing behind me. The door was still open, so I headed in.

"Hi Max! This place is so cool! Don't you think it's cool? And the beds are so soft! You have to have the sofa, but still, that must be softer than the ground. It's going to be so much fun to sleep with Angel again; it'll be like having a sleepover! I know you want us to sleep, though. Is that why you came in? To say good-night? And Fang's here, too. You guys act like parents, the way you go around saying good-night to all of us. Did you ever think about that? I want to find my parents, but Jeb said that they didn't know. Do you think he was lying about that, Max?" Nudge finally paused to take a breath, and Fang wisely spoke before she started again.

"Good-night, guys." He stuck his fist out, and we all stacked fists. My face was still red from what Nudge had said about Fang and I being like parents. It was sort of true, but still, if we were parents that would mean that we were together. Which we weren't. At all. Right?

"Good-night Nudge. Good-night, Angel," I said, turning off the lights and closing the door partway. They both crawled under the covers and closed their eyes, letting sleep take them.

Fang and I headed back to the living room, quickly moving the coffee table and opening the couch. Fang got some blankets and pillows down from the closet, and we quickly made the bed.

"Good-night, Fang," I said, trying not to look at him as we slipped into the bed.

"Good-night," he replied. I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.

AN: Alright, sorry it's so short and unimportant. Something big's going to happen next, I promise. I just needed to lead up to what's going to happen. I'm going to bed now, and school tomorrow, but I'll post again after school, as long as I have a lot of reviews. Okay:P
