As soon as I opened the door the sweet aroma of freshly made pancakes filled my nose. I sighed. When we were on the run we were lucky to grab a freaking granola bar for breakfast. But this? This is heaven. As bird kids we eat allot compared to normal humans so I wasn't surprised to walk in the kitchen to see a mountain of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. And 5 - well 4 really. Total doesn't count ( don't tell him that..) - pairs of hands having a free for all with it. "Hey!" "How bout slowing down and actually tasting the food your eating?" "And save some for me!" I said. "Good morning to you too, Max." Iggy said with an eye roll. Ever the sarcastic one, was he. I ruffled gazzy's hair, gave Angel a quick kiss, and shot Iggy a glare that he couldn't see but he smirked as if he knew what I was doing. Mom turned and gave me a plate and a hug before grabbing some food for herself. "where's Fang?" She said. I rolled my eyes. Fang is even harder to get out of bed then me. And I'm pretty sure Ella didn't threaten him with the bucket. Ella values her life too much. " Probably stayed up on that blog of his." Gazzy said with a full mouth. "Ew." "nobody wants to see your food, gazzy." "chew first" Said Angel with a disapproving look on her small face. I smiled at her as she chastised her brother. She's going to make the perfect mother some day. She caught my stare and her face lit up "Thanks, Max!" I gave a small nod, then filled my plate and dug in. "Max?" "Will you go and get Fang, please?" "At this rate he'll be lucky to get anything." My mom said with a look around the table. "Sure" I said. "And I don't mean by screaming at the top of your lungs at the table." She said hastily. I closed my about-to-scream-at the-top-of my-lungs, mouth and got up with a sigh. I trudged up the stairs And out of the corner of my eye, caught gazzy about to steal one of my pancakes off of my plate "Touch it and I kill you!" I snapped. His hand slowly went back to his own plate while Angel giggled. I gave him a suspicious look before making my way up the rest of the stairs. Fangs room was a down the hall from mine and if you know. him, you can probably guess that his door is black. He has a thing for black. "Fang!" I banged on the door. No response. I gritted my teeth and threw the door open. My eyes shot to the bed to find no Fang in it. My first thought was someone's taken him. My muscles tensed and my eyes darted around the room looking for a threat. Then The bathroom door opened and fang came out half naked. Fang was tall and lean with black hair and eyes as dark as night. He had jeans on. That was it. Okay maybe this is weird to say because Fang is practically my brother but…he has abs. Fang's body was lean and muscular. He's not like those teenage boys who spend all their time in the gym trying to be a John Cena look alike. But he also wasn't one of those teenagers who are too skinny to be called a man. He was…just right. And as soon as the thought entered my mind I swept it away. Buried it in the back of my mind. He shifted his weight and I tore my gaze from his abs to his face all the while blushing tomato red. He raised one eyebrow. Face colored with amusement where as mine was colored red. "Do you knock?" I bristled, eyes narrowing. Oh so he's going to try to blame this one on me, is he? No. Way. "Of course I knocked you idiot! The question is do you know how to answer the door!" Despite my anger it was still hard for me to keep my eyes directed at his face. He noticed that. His eyes, dancing with enjoyment due to my discomfort, shifted to his black bedspread where he proceeded to get his (you guessed it) black shirt pulling it on over his head quickly. He walked towards me and stood close. Almost too close, towering over me. His face hardened and I expected to get told off for not being more patient or for even coming in in the first place. He leaned in and his expression changed into a cocky, teasing look. "If you wanted to see me shirtless that bad Max you didn't have to barge in, ya know" My face, no longer red from embarrassment, but from anger. Turned into one of outrage. After such an., an ..insult my arm swung out to hit him. Fang, predicting my reaction leaned out of the way. But not all the way. My hand hit his shoulder but not enough to hurt like I intended. "Get your ass down stairs for breakfast, you jerk!" I hissed at him. Fang chuckled pretending to hold his shoulder where I barely hit him (unfortunately) like I'd broken it. Pretending to moan in pain. Taking advantage of his pig headedness I punched him in the gut. He felt that one. I made sure of it. I smirked as he actually did clutch his stomach like someone had punched him hard. " I came upstairs to tell you your breakfast is getting cold." I said stonily. "Next time, I'll let you starve." I turned on my heel and walked swiftly down the stairs and back to my chair. As I sat down Angel Took one look at my face and in my head said, " Don't worry, Max. I thought his abs looked nice too." I sighed quietly. Sometimes living with a mind reader can drive a bird kid crazy.
