NUDGE POV
I guess I fell asleep next to Iggy. Hearing sirens though I attempted to jump out of bed only to find myself restrained by Iggy's arms. Somehow during the night I had rolled towards him and put my head on his chest, Iggy's arms had gone around me and now I was stuck. Even though I was almost as big as him and super-strong., he was still stronger than I was. The only way to get him to let me go was to wake him up and I wouldn't have done that unless it was vital to his health. Sirens, I decided, roaring around our neighborhood were probably not going to damage Iggy's health.
Funny though that he hasn't woken up
A few minutes later I was released from my not-so-unpleasant capture when a disgruntled Iggy grabbed his pillow, put it over his head, and said in a voice I could have sworn would come from a five year old-
"Why are they so loud Nudge? Make them go away."
And with that he stuck his head under the covers like a turtle and didn't come out. Or at least tried not to, Max came up five minutes later announcing that we were going to go find Angel.
IGGY POV
Sirens… remind me to go kamikaze next time I see a police car. Waking me up from the first good sleep I've had in ages, what is this world coming to? I felt something move and I looked down to see Nudge snuggling in closer to my chest. Thinking back on the moment I mentally berate myself, stupid stupid stupid, sealing my own doom like that…
This would be so awkward if Max and Fang walked in.
What an idiot, you wanna know why? Five minutes later, guess who walked in to stop dead with looks of shock on their faces (or so I'm told).
MAX POV
'Iggy wake up! We have to go find Ang-'
That's as far as I got, Nudge told me later I looked like a strawberry Popsicle. But I mean what was a girl to do? Walking in on your 'brother' and 'sister' lying together in a bed is a little shocking.
"I know what this looks like"
"We can explain"
"I was just helping Iggy sleep."
"Nothing happened"
Blushing even harder at this statement, I turned and walked back downstairs.
Calling over my shoulder, 'get dressed and come down, you have five minutes.'
