Maximum Ride: Around the World.

"Hey- stop that." Fang swiped his nose as Fuzzy licked it. " Max." He groaned. I snorted. It was around three a.m. I was woken by Fuzzy and his damn nagging for food.

"I don't want to be licking your nose Mister." I said, Fang's eyes popped open and he grinned a little sheepishly then looked at Fuzzy, I was sat Indian style next to him.

Fuzzy popped away and Fang looked back at me and sighed a little. I raised my eyebrow. "You okay?" I asked, he nodded and rolled onto his back. "Liar." I said in a sing-song voice.

"Can you guys keep it down?" Iggy mumbled from the couch.

"Pleease?" The Gasman added. I ducked my head and went on in a whisper.

"Liar." Fang rolled his eyes up at the ceiling and mouthed something to himself. I was slightly disappointed I didn't hear.

"Not lying." He whispered back. "I'm okay...Just a little tired." His lips curved into a smile. "But I know something that might wake me up..." He trailed off raising his eyebrows. I slapped his chest gently and shook my head.

"No." I said. He pouted, damnit. "The one yesterday was because you- were..." I trailed off and huffed, I wasn't used to kissing...What if it was crap, Fang was the one who'd made out with a girl twice.

"It's three in the morning. We should get back to sleep." I said with a shrug. Fang grinned, and caught my cheek with his lips. I groaned and elbowed him in the stomach gently. "Stop it." I said with a grin, but he couldn't see.

A little too flirty.

I was woken by the all to familiar Speedy Gonzales in the morning and a strong arm wrapped around my waist, I felt the heat through my shirt and breathed out.

" Max? You awake?" I heard Angel call. I nodded sleepily. Then she giggled. "Did you and Fang get up to anything last night?" She asked slyly. Fang's arm tightened and I felt a grin on the back of my neck. Curses.

"Nope." I said with my own small smile and poked Fang in his ticklish spot. I wonder if he has anymore... "Ouch! Don't bite my neck!" I hissed and pulled away hitting him with a pillow.

Fang opened his dark orbs slowly and sat up, I rubbed the back of my neck to get his saliva off...He somehow thought it was okay to lick me. "It's not okay to lick Max." I whispered poking his chest. Is he desperate or what?

"Yep." Angel said with a smile and informed Nudge, who passed it on and then the whole Flock was looking at us...Well...Iggy wasn't, he was laughing.

Fang's cheeks went a shade of red. "Oh my God, thats funny." I burst into laughter myself.

"Can we go get some Ice cream Ig?" Angel asked, Iggy's face went blank and he nodded. She mind controlled him! I watched as she marched the flock out to ice cream and winked at me and Fang.

"She's a little...Cheeky." I mumbled not meeting Fang's eyes. Fang sat crossed legged and looked back at me.

"I believe we're alone..." He said. I narrowed my eyes.

"You told her didn't you." I said standing on my knees, and went to get off, but I was grabbed by the wrist, and pulled into Fang, somehow I stayed on my knees.

"Fang." I groaned. He smirked.

"C'mon Max, any guy would crack if you'd teased them the way you teased me." He said lacing his fingers through mine...I found this extremely sexy. Crap. Crap. Did I come off teasing?

I guess I was...But. "Teased?" I said, my voice all croaky.

"You didn't know it did you?" He asked with a chuckle, lacing our other hands together. I shook my head, my turn to blush. We're brother and sister!!

Not anymore Maximum. You're growing up.

But it's still not right. He's my best friend...It would ruin our relationship.

Not if you play the cards right.

How?

Don't say it was a mistake, say what you truly think, like ... Right now you're saving the world ... And you have a lot of things on your mind, and don't avoid him, make it back to the way it was and-

Wow, you're like a girl.

Thanks.

Are you a girl?

No. Damnit.

Yay!

" Max?" Fang said breaking me from my thoughts. I sighed and lowered my head hesitantly and unlaced our fingers and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Uh..." I mumbled before touching my lips with his and had a shock of electricity run up my spine, I felt Fang shiver a little. Just as I was about to make this a kiss, the door opened and Iggy came walking in with a scared look on his face.

"Whats wrong?" I asked pulling away from Fang and hearing him give a disappointed sigh, I sent him a sorry look he nodded and shrugged.

"Um...I was just attacked by ice cream...The girl thought I was hitting on her!" Iggy said throwing his arms in the air. "What'd I do?"

Nudge rolled her eyes as she walked into the room. "You can't speak Spanish you dobe, you said she had nice jugs, not do you have any juice." Iggy's eyes widened.

"Oh." He said. Angel was laughing. The Gasman looked like he'd had his fill and was massaging his cheeks. Fang laughed.

"Wow...I never thought you'd get something wrong like that" He said. I grinned.

"Maybe you should apologize." Total said, I noticed he was perched on the chair and he sent me a knowing look. Oh great. The dog was spying on us.

Iggy waved his hand in the air. "Nah, no point, anyway, I better take a shower, it was toffee ice cream, what a waste." He said walking into the bathroom. Total hopped up onto the bed and Fang looked at him.

"You know...You could have locked the door." Total muttered so only we could hear, Fang chuckled, I rubbed Totals back.

"You didn't see anything." I said. Total looked up at me.

"Only if you didn't do anything." He replied. I looked at Fang.

"Fine...Just don't think about it, Angel will hear..." Fang said keeping his voice low.

About three hours later, after sight seeing, changing some clothes, Nudge was "desperate" and eating some things, I was sat out on the balcony with the sun beaming down on me, I'd spread my wings slightly so the sun could warm them.

Me and Fang just can't find the time to be alone.

Nope ... And you were so close!

Why are you so determined to get us to kiss?

Because its not healthy to keep pent up emotions inside.

But doesn't that make the kiss you share more heated and exciting?

Well...Yeah, but then your feelings could go off, like milk ... And then you'd forget about them.

Thats also a good thing to right?

Your choice...Either you want to kiss him or you dont.

I do...

Okay. But...

But I dont.

You want to and you dont want to...?

Yeah. I mean...I'm afraid it'll ruin our relationship in friends...And I don't want to get hurt either, and like you said, feelings can die down.

Yeah...I guess

Whatever. I'll do it when I'm ready. I sighed and closed my eyes.

They think they can keep that from me. Hah they're wrong! Total told me everything! They were so close to kissing! Ah well...I'll make them kiss later ... Maybe when we're in Asia. Its nice and romantic I think.

I'm pretty tired and Nudge is snoring the night away. I looked down at my cute little dog and patted his head then lay down myself. Max had said goodnight. I could faintly hear her and Fang teasing each other and Max erupted a giggle. I grinned and drifted off to sleep.

Mwahahah. Sooooo close to kissing!! Mwahahah --- again.

Did you want more of the Faxness? I point this question to Marie47! Hah.

Well...I'll update soon. Bye!!

Ova && Out.
