Max P.O.V
When I woke up, I felt something wrapped across my waist, pinning me to the bed. I panicked momentarily, until memories of last night came flooding back. I relaxed slightly and turned to look at Fang. He was already awake, watching me. I frowned at him.
"How long have you been awake?"
"Not long, about fifteen, twenty minutes ish."
My frown deepened. He'd been watching me sleep for twenty minutes?! He knew I hated that.
"Twenty minutes?! You've been watching me sleep for twenty minutes?! You know I hate people watching me sleep"
He grinned at me and I automatically calmed down, practically melting on the spot. I scowled at him for doing that to me, but he just let out a throaty laugh. OH GOD!! That sound was so nice…deep…sexy…seductive. Erm I mean…oh whatever. Use your imagination.
"You look gorgeous when you sleep, you know that Max?" he whispered, his voice husky.
I sat up and raised my eyebrows at him. Was this the real Fang? The real Fang would never have said that.
He leaned over slightly, putting his mouth next to my ear. When he spoke, his soft breath tickled my ear.
"Don't worry, it's the real me, I just thought you should know."
He pulled back and grinned at me. I was speechless. So, me being me, I said the first thing that came into my head. Granted it wasn't for another 5 minutes after he's said that, but what're you gonna do?
"What's the time?"
Fang looked stunned, it might have had something to do with the fact that he'd just said I look gorgeous when I sleep, and I reply with "What's the time?", maybe, I'm not sure though. (Note the sarcasm giggles). Fang quickly regained his composure and glanced at the watch he'd taken to wearing.
"6:32 and exactly 59 seconds, to be precise"
Oh my god, it was that early? None of the Flock would be awake yet, so I lay down on my back staring at the ceiling.
I heard and felt the bed creak as Fang got up. I couldn't be bothered checking what he was doing, I would probably find out soon anyway. I heard a switch flick on and Fang got back into bed. Hmm, he turned the radio on, whatever. As he wrapped his hands around me, a song came on and the music reached our ears.
You've been cheated
You've been messed around
You were looking for heaven
But hell is all that you've found
Fang lifted my head and rested it on his shoulder. I wear his grip around my waist tightened. I looked up into his eyes, to try and see if they gave anything away. Of course, they didn't.
"Max? What's wrong?" Fang asked, a slight frown creasing his forehead. Oops, I guess I was giving him a weird look.
"Erm, nothing, I was just…" I trailed off. Damn, I just couldn't lie to Fang.
Realisation dawned on him. He figured that I'd noticed his tightened grip around me.
"I just try to protect you Max." he stated stroking my hair, "I can't help but feel that that describes you."
I snuggled closer, but not before I planted a light kiss on his lips. We lay in silence, Fang stroking my hair, both listening to the next part of the song.
Are you ready for somebody
To put your mind at ease
Cause I'm ready and I'll be there
To fill your every need
Anything at all
I'll give you,
Anything at all
To have you here in my arms
Where you belong you gotta believe me
I'd do anything at all
I thought of Fang when I heard these words. It seemed so like him. I held him closer, hoping he got the message.
"I know," he muttered into my hair.
I took a deep breath, breathing in a scent that was 100 Fang. Oddly enough, he smelt like cherries, which happened to be my favourite fruit. Very ironic huh.
"What's up?" he lifted my chin so he could look me in the eyes.
"You smell like cherries," I stated, amazed that I managed to keep a straight face. He gave me a weird look and I grinned at him. For once, the mighty Fang was speechless. I snuggled again and we carried on listening to the song.
Well the first time
I laid my eyes on you
I new my life was changing
And I could'nt lose
"Max? I can't help but feel that this song REALLY describes us."
I looked at him again, "Really?"
"Yeah" and with that he kissed me gently.
I was ready for somebody
To put my mind at ease
So if you want me reach out and touch me
And I do anything
Anything at all
I'll give you,
Anything at all
To have you here in my arms
Where you belong you gotta believe me
I'd do anything at all
Ohh, anything at all, to please you
Anything at all
I'd do anything at all
I'd do anything at all
The kiss lasted a minute or two, getting deeper, until we decided that we needed to breathe. Fang rested his forhead against mine and I whispered, "I love you Fang. I love you so much."
His hand came up and cupped my cheek, his thumb gently caressing it. "I love you too Max. I have done since I realised that girls didn't really have cooties."
I laughed at that, and he let out a small Fang-Chuckle. I loved that sound, it was soft and lilting.
We lay back down on the bed and I listened to the faster-than-normal, which was normal for us (if you get what I mean?), yet steady heart beat, of the only person I'd ever loved, in this way. More than a brother, or a sister, or a father. I shuddered when I thought about Jeb.
"Max are you alright?" Fang asked, his voice carrying the slightest, almost undetectable trace of concern.
"Yeah, I'm alright, just thinking"
Are you ready,
For somebody, to put your mind at ease?
Cause I'm ready and I'll be there
To give you anything
Yeah yeah
I'd give you anything baby
I'd give you my heart and soul
Baby I'd give you anything at all
yeah
"I would you know, Max." muttered softly, rubbing gentle, soothing cirlces on my back and neck.
"Huh?" I asked. I was half out of it. I was drifting back to sleep, it was so relaxing.
"I said, I would. I would give you anything at all"
I looked up at him and smiled.
"Thanks. I would too. Give you anything, I mean, not give me anything." I flushed.
He laughed at me flushing, and at me getting tongue-tied.
"I know you would Max."
Anything at all, I'd give you
Anything at all, to have you here in my arms
Where you belong
You gotta believe me
I'd do anything at
I'd give you anything at all
To have you here in my arms
Where you belong
You gotta believe me
I'd do anything at all
Anything at all
I'd do anything at all
The song faded away and we were still lying on the bed. It was still only 6:37 according to Fang's watch.
I listened intently, making sure none of the Flock were awake. I didn't hear anything, and relaxed slightly. Emphasis on the SLIGHTLY.
Me and Fang lay listening to the radio, snuggling close. I know he'd told me he loved me, but I still couldn't believe that FANG was SNUGGLING. It was a miracle.
"Do I really smell like cherries?" Fang shocked me by asking.
"Yes" I giggled. Yes THE Maximum Ride, giggling.
"Guess that makes you love me even more, huh?" he said smirking. DAMMIT.
Why does he have to know everything about me? I thought to myself. I wasn't exactly complaining but you know…
Because he's your best friend, you've both known each other for the entirety of you lives, almost, and he's your boyfriend.
Nice of you to butt in voice. NOT!!! Go away please, you're ruining a happy moment.
I was merely stating a few facts Maximum, no need to get shirty.
I mentally rolled my eyes at my voice and then it hit me what it had said. Fang's my boyfriend??
"Max?" Fang sounded slightly worried. I was kind of getting sick of hearing that to be quite honest.
"Uh-huh?" I asked, not really paying attention, Still thinking about the "B" word, if you get what I mean.
"You didn't hear a word of what I just said did you?"
I shook my head to postpone thinking about those thoughts. "Errr, no" I confessed.
"I said, it's seven, we should probably get up. Were you talking to Jeb?"
"Er yeah we should" I sat up and started to get up off of the bed. Fang circled his arms around my waist, linked his hands in front of me and pulled gently. I fell back into his lap, staring into his eyes.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Err, yeah I was talking to Jeb"
"I figured as much, what did he say?"
"He said you were my boyfriend now" I mumbled the last part though so he must have just heard "my bfd nw".
"Huh? I didn't catch that last part"
"He said you're my boyfriend now" I said. Blushing a deep crimson colour and looking away as I said it.
"And are we?" he asked, bringing my face back 'round to his. He had brought his head closer to mine.
"I don't know. Are we?"
"I guess we are" he said and with that, he brought my head closer to his and gently pressed his lips to mine. We kissed for a while, the kiss getting steadily deeper, until we heard a knock on the door. We croke apart, trying desperately to get air to our neglected lungs.
"Maaaaxx," Nudge whined, "I'm hungry". Me and Fang mouthed the words as Nudge said them. She was so predictable.
We heaved ourselves off the bed, trying to make ourselves look half decent before we faced the flock.
"Coming Nudge. Hang on a sec."
