Max's POV

I woke up in a hospital room. I didn't know how I had gotten here or anything. The last thing I remember was saying Fang's name.

~Flashback~

He reached up, even though supposedly he couldn't move, and brought my head down to his. His lips crashed down upon mine and I couldn't help but to tense up.

When I realized what had happened, I relaxed and actually started to kiss him back. As soon as his lips touched mine, it was like everything in my brain shut down.

The only thing I knew was that I was kissing Fang, and that I was enjoying it. I placed my hand into his hair and moved my body closer to his.

That's when the stupid burning building had to go and ruin the moment by a chunk of ceiling landing on my back and knocking the wind out me as soon as I pulled away from Fang.

I landed on his chest and I couldn't move. I felt Fang shift positions and throw the boards off of my back, but I still couldn't move. It felt as if I was paralyzed.

"Fang..." That's all I could get out before all I could see was black and all I could feel was Fang lying under me.

~End Flashback~

I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting them to the light of the room. Once they were open, I let my eyes wander around the room. My gaze landed upon the sleeping form lying next to my bed. It was Fang, and he was holding my hand.

I instantly felt my cheeks heat up. Had he really kissed me? Had I really kissed him back? I guess I'll have to ask him when he wakes up.

Just then, Iggy and the rest of the gang walked in. "Hey, Iggs. So, what happened? The last thing I remember is a board falling on me.."

As soon as he opened his mouth to talk, he saw that Fang was holding my hand. Instead of talking, he grinned this huge, quite cheesy grin, and got all excited and hyper.

"I knew it would work!! Dinner was such a good idea! It not only got you two lovebirds together, but we also managed to save people! Man, do I feel good about myself..", Iggy whisper/shouted. Good thing it wasn't a little bit louder, otherwise Fang probably would've woken up.

I whisper/yelled at Iggy, "Shut up, Iggy. We're not together. And be quiet before you wake Fang up." I looked down at the sleeping Fang. All I could see was the back of his head.

I wonder how cute he looks when he's sleeping....,I thought to myself. Then I mentally slapped myself for thinking that about him.

I looked back up at the gang to find them staring at me, and every single one of them had the same exact smile as Iggy's. It was kind of creepy.

"Max...", I could barely hear it, so I knew the others didn't, but what was really weird was that it came from Fang's sleeping form.

They knew something was up when I looked down at Fang and then my cheeks suddenly went red. And I mean bright red. I'm really hoping they didn't hear it.

Then all of a sudden, Fang woke up and his head rose up. His eyes met mine and he smiled. To let him know that the others were in the room, I quickly glanced in their direction, then back at him.

His eyes widened the tiniest bit and he slowly turned his head to look at the gang standing there looking like idiots with those big grins on their faces.

You know what my next thought was? Well, to make it simple, let's just say that my palm made contact with my forehead. (A/N: Also known as *facepalm* Did ya like that, Twila? Haha..)

"Okay, anyways. Iggy? Can you please go ask a doctor or nurse or whomever and find out when the heck I can get out of here?"

He nodded and left, pulling the rest of them with him. Well, I didn't really mean for all of them to go, but oh well. That'll just give me more time with Fang.

I looked over at Fang, to my surprise, he was still holding my hand. He looked back up at me once everyone has left the room.

"So, Max, um, how you feeling?" I could see a bit of worry and concern in his normally impassive eyes. "Confused, but good."

He smiled, making my whole world light up. I couldn't help but to return the smile. It was so breathtaking.

"That's good. What are you confused about?" My smile faltered a little, but remained intact. I paused for a minute, thinking it over.

"Well, confused about what happened, confused about how I got here, confused about..us.." He nodded, obviously thinking about what to say.

"Well, a board fell on you, I shoved it off and saw that you were unconscious, so I picked you up and took you to an ambulance. That's what happened and how you got here."

He just ended right there. He didn't answer my last question. Right as I opened my mouth to say something, to try to get some anwers, the door burst open and in walked Iggy.

"The others I sent out to the car. Max, the nurse said you can go home now." I nodded and thanked him. Then I looked at Fang. "What happened to my clothes?"

"Right here." And pointed behind him to the table where my clothes lay. Oh, I thought.

"Okay, well, can I have some privacy so I can dressed, please?" He nodded, stood up, and left with Iggy.

I shoved the blanket that was covering me out of the way and sat up with my legs dangling off the side of the bed.

Man, it kind of hurt to sit up. My back hurt like h-e-double hockey sticks. I stood up and almost collapsed. Wow, it'd take awhile to heal up. That board must have hit me pretty freaking hard. Good thing Fang was there.

I tried my best to walk to the table, but I just couldn't make it. I ended up collapsing onto the chair that Fang had been sitting in.

I gave in and called for Fang. He walked in a second later and saw that I was sitting in the chair and still wearing my hospital gown. He raised an eyebrow at me and I frowned.

"I tried to walk to the table, but my back hurts to much and I collapsed..C-can you help me?"

He almost smirked, I could tell, but for my benefit he walked over to the table, picked up my clothes and handed them to me. He turned to leave, but I stopped him.

"Fang? Um..I might need more help..so..uuhh..could you.."

He turned around and smiled at me. "Yeah, I'll pull the curtain closed." I mouthed a thank you to him and waited for him to close the curtain.

I stood up on shaky legs and let the gown fall to the ground. I realized that I still had on my bra and underwear, so that made it easier.

I picked up and pants and put them on with not that much trouble. I mean, it could've been worse. I got my shirt and went to put it on, but when I stretched my arms up, I gasped from the pain and fell back on the chair.

"Max? You okay?" I hesitated. "Kind of? I can't get my shirt on.."

This was so embarrassing. "D-do you need any help?" I could tell that he only wanted to help me. It wasn't like he wanted to see me without a shirt on. He just wanted to make sure I was okay and all.

"Yeah, ugh, this is so embarrassing." When he opened the curtain, he didn't even look down at my chest, he kept his eyes on my face. I was a bit surprised by that, but it was Fang we were talking about.

He walked up to me and stood behind my chair. He stuck his hand out for the shirt and I gave it to him. Then, he pushed my head through the hole, being as gentle as he could.

Once, my head was in, I pushed my arms in through the other holes. It hurt, and I winced every now and then, but I got my shirt on anyway.

I looked up at Fang, "Thanks, and no one will ever find out about that. Kapiche?" He smirked and nodded his head.

Then he walked around my chair and held out his hand for mine. I took it and he helped me to my feet. We went about a foot and a half when my legs almost gave out.

In an instant, his right arm was wrapped around my waist and his left arm was under my legs, picked me up. "Fang, I don't need to be carried! Put me down!" Yes, tough as nails, Maximum Ride, just whined. About being carried.

He just smirked and walked to the door. With the hand that was under my legs, he opened the door and we walked out into the hallway. Iggy turned and to at us. "Took you guys lo-." Then he burst out laughing when he saw us.

"Shut up, Iggy," I growled at him. And, to keep the effect, I narrowed my eyes and gave him my meanest glare. Well, it worked. He shut up at least.

We walked out of the hospital and over the Fang's car. Iggy opened up my door and Fang set me down in it, then turned to Iggy. "You follow up home, okay, Iggs?" He nodded, then turned and went to his car and got in.

Fang got in, started the car, and pulled out of the parking lot. It was silent in the car for a couple minutes. "Um, thanks for your help back there." He glanced in my direction and nodded, then moved his eyes back to the road.

"You know, Fang, you never answered my other question." By that time, we were pulling into his driveway already. I know, either Fang drives fast, or I just wasn't paying attention and went into my own little world. I think the latter would be correct.

He parked the car, turned it off, and looked at me. "Yes, we did kiss back in that building. Yes, I was holding your hand in the hospital. What else do you want to know?" I sat there thinking.

"If it's okay for me to do this," Then, I leaned over and pressed my lips to Fang's. He immediately tensed up, but relaxed and put his hands on my waist, pulling me closer just the tiniest bit.

Then he leaned closer to me and I moved my hands and tangled my fingers into his dark, messy hair. We pulled apart after what seemed like only a few seconds, but what was actually about ten minutes, and we were both gasping for breathe.

I guess we both had forgotten to breathe near the end. I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever. Then he whispered ever so softly, "Feel free to do that anytime you want." I smiled and pecked him on the lips.

"But what if I want more than just to kiss you whenever I want?" His eyebrow raised.

I laughed and answered his unspoken question. "What if I want to be more than just friends with benefits? I don't usually do this. Actually, I never do this and I'm terrified at the moment, but.." I guess I'd been rambling, because he pressed his lips to mine for a second then pulled back all too soon. "Max Ride, will you be my girlfriend?"

The smile that erupted on my face was the biggest smile that ever was seen on my face ever. I nodded, unable to speak, and smashed my lips to his. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

Not caring what the others would think if they found us. Not caring that we were still in his car. The only thing we cared about was being with each other at that moment. And that's what we did.
