AN: I don't really know why I started this out in a different POV, I just kindda wanted to introduce a little Fax from Fangs POV.
"Pizza," Gazzy offered.
"Yeah I want cheese, no wait I want vegetarian," Nudge ordered and thus started an argument over what pizzas to get. After about fifteen minutes of argument there was a knock on the door and Max walked in.
Fang sat in a chair close to the window, keeping a look out like he does all the time. He watched Max walk in, scanning over some of the burns she had received. She was so stupid sometimes; he thought to himself and looked back out the window. He just couldn't figure out why she was always doing things like that, risking her life. After all he had gone though trying to protect her she just takes those stupid risks again and again. Didn't she see how it hard it is on him each time she does things like that? How he gets mad to cover up his feelings of betrayal and fear of loss? He wouldn't be able to live if Max wasn't by his side, but it seems like she doesn't care about that.
"Three pepperoni, three cheese and two veggie, that's what were getting, no arguments," Max said as soon as she figured out what was going on in the room. Sometimes Fang just had to admire how Max can take control and how well she does it. "I want all of you showered and clean, so Gazzy you go first."
Gazzy huffed, but got up and was in the shower in a matter of seconds.
"I'll call in the order," Fang offered, just trying to come up with something to do.
"Fang on the phone, actually talking to someone, that's a first," Iggy teased, trying to make Fang mad.
"Oh shut it," Fang said launching a pillow at Iggy's head which he dodged.
Soon Fang was on the phone with a dimwitted teenager placing the order. All that kept running through his mind was how much he hated people. The order was placed and Fang was told he could pick it up in about thirty minutes.
He turned to the others and saw they were all on the beds watch a movie. Fang paid no attention to it and left the room to go take a shower. It had been a while since he had had a hot shower and he was dying to be clean.
Max POV
I looked away from the screen to see that Fang was no longer in the room. I guess I blanked out and forgot to keep guard up. That needs to change! No more TV for me, too much of a distraction. I lifted Angel off my lap and told her I was going to check on Fang. Maybe even take a small nap!!
I left and took out my copy of out room key and open the door. The water was running from the bathroom and steam was coming out. I guess he's in the shower, I pointed out to myself.
I lay down on the bed, feeling the nice sheets underneath me, and that pillow was probably the best thing I'd felt in a while. The bed was warm and I was just dozing off when Fang came out of the shower.
"Sleepy?" Fang asked with a smirk. He was dressed in a new black shirt t-shirt and dark gray sweatpants.
"Just a little," I smiled sitting up. He came over and sat down next to me on the bed. It was quiet for a minute and I was sure the lecture was about to begin. After my stunt this morning I was sure there was going to be a fight.
"Why do you always have to play superhero Max?" Fang asked looking at the burns on my shoulder. I had made sure to put on a tank top so nothing would rub against them, but they still hurt.
"If I hadn't they would have called for back up and we all would have been screwed, Fang. I was just trying to keep you guy's safe, that's all," I tried to explain.
"You didn't have to freaking run into them; you could have killed yourself! Did you ever think about that Max, you could have died and then how would you take care of them if you were dead!!" he said, I have to admit it was more of a yell.
"I wasn't thinking about that, I thinking how I could save them!!" I yelled back.
"You weren't thinking period Max, you never freaking think about what could happen next," he accused.
"You just don't get it do you?? I have to protect you guys, if I don't and you die how would I be able to live? I can't lose any of you! I don't care what happens to me, I have to think about you!! If you die than I die Fang!! Why don't you see that?" I yelled, close to tears. I hate it when Fang and I fight, but it's even worse when it's about this particular subject.
"You think it would be easy if we lost you?" Fang questioned his voice a little softer.
"As long as I had saved your life it would be fine with me," I said quieting down.
"What makes you think it's so easy for me to lose you. You talk about how hard it would be for you to lose us, it would be the same if we lose you. Max, they look up to you, they need you. Hell, I need you!! I can't lose you," he said looking down at the sheets again. This was a little too emotional for us. Normally it's all sarcastic remarks but this is something we don't normally talk about.
"Just… Just don't do it again," he whispered, standing up.
"Where are you going?" I asked. Why was he leaving right now of all times?
"Someone's got to pick up dinner," he smirked and I stood up. I wiped some of the tears from my eyes and followed him out. "Be back in twenty minutes or we'll come after you."
He nodded and left while I knocked on the door to the kid's room. Iggy opened the door and let me in.
"What's wrong Max," Nudge asked from the bed. I noticed that Gazzy was out of the shower and Angel was taking her turn.
"Oh, nothing Fang and I just had a… disagreement," I said with a smile.
"Where'd he go?" Gazzy asked noticing I was walking in by myself.
"He's going to pick up the food," I answered sitting down in the chair.
Fang was back with the food in the set time limit and after some major consumption of pizza I was off to say good night to everyone. My first stop: the girl's room. Fang followed me in to see them jumping on the bed.
"Bed time," I shouted and they sat down, ready to go to bed.
"I really like staying in hotels Max. They're so nice and we actually get to sleep in beds. I think we should do this more often," Nudge exclaimed, getting cut off by a yawn.
"Good night girls," I said sticking out my fist. All four of us tapped and said our good nights and we were off to the boy's room. They were mixing stuff together on the dresser, oh joy!!
"If you blow the hotel up I will kill you," I threatened.
"When have we ever accidentally blown something up?" Gazzy asked then thought better. "Don't answer that. We'll be careful."
"We're going to bed, I want light out at midnight, no later," I said looking at the clock to see it said 11:15. That gave them a little more time to restock. And why am I giving them the permission to make these bombs?? The bombs have come in handy lately and I have a feeling we're going to need them soon.
"Night," Iggy said sticking his fist out and we repeated our night time ritual.
Fang and I walked over to our room. I turned on the light while he went over and started getting his bed together. I walked over to my bed and flopped down, I was soo tired.
"God this bed feels great," I muttered and I heard Fang chuckle.
My eyes were drifting shut when, yet again, I had another brain attack. My head felt like someone had hit it with a hammer, and I fell limp. It didn't hurt as much this time, it wasn't nearly as unbearable. Fang was by me in an instant, trying to talk me through it, and this time I could almost make out what he was saying. Last there was the white light, before all the pain just went away. It just vanished and I sat up, highly freaked out.
"What just happened?" Fang asked his eyes showing the shock he was feeling. I twisted my broken wrist, only to find it didn't hurt at all. I looked to the burns on my shoulder only to see that there was nothing, the skin was healed.
"Wow," I exclaimed. "Did you see the white light too?"
"Max, the light was coming from you," Fang said looking down at me with worried eyes.
"I'm fine, and I guess I've got another power, although I really don't know how to use it," I stated and instantly was hit by how exhausted I was. "I'm going to bed now."
"Alright good night," Fang said and, get this, kissed my forehead. I was too tired to respond, and I just fell asleep. I mean think about the day I just had, you would fall asleep too.
AN: There, that's the first peak at Fax!! There will be a lot more later on, but I'm trying to gradually introduce it!! I hope you liked it!!
