Chapter 12

Fang silently left the room and Iggy followed close behind, his knuckles almost white he was holding on to Fangs hand so tightly. Fang took them up to Iggy's room. Fang let go of Iggy and sat on the bed with a sigh. "Iggy I'm so sorry. This shouldn't have happened...but it did and we can't go back to the way things were."

Iggy stood in the doorway and turned his sightless gaze to Fang. "Do you not want me? Am I not good enough for you?"

Fang looked up and saw tears streaming down his cheeks. Fang stood and walked up to Iggy taking his hands. "Iggy, I..." his voice caught and a lump formed in his throat "I love you. I don't know how much yet. I've only just come to terms with that fact but I love you Iggy. My heart feels like its going to burst, like its being slowly torn out. It hurts but it feels amazing, Ig, cause I know its because of you causing these feelings." He looked at Iggy and saw he was crying in earnest "Aw, Ig, whats wrong?"

Iggy raised his chin and came eye to eye with Fang. Iggy stared at him with his sightless eyes and suddenly leaned in kissing Fang with surprising intensity. Iggy moaned lightly and wrapped his arms around Fang laying him down in Iggy's bed. Fang responded by laying back and running his hands over Iggy's chest. Fang spoke around Iggy's insistent lips "If this is going where I think its going. Who's gonna be on top?" Fang giggled when Iggy pulled away and turned his face blushing brightly.

"Um..." Iggy hesitated, "I'm an, uh...bottom."

Fang blushed "Well that makes things simple." He moved and pushed Iggy on to his back gently and straddled him. Iggy kept blushing and Fang, due to where he sat down, felt Iggy's manhood growing. "I uh...I've never done anything with another guy before." Fang laughed nervously.

Iggy got a sudden burst of confidence "Well now is as good a time as any." He ran his hands up Fang's thighs and chuckled when Fang sighed lightly and his back gently arched. To Fang it felt amazing, he moved back a bit, and he nervously did the same to Iggy but didn't stop at his hips. Fang rubbed against Iggy's crotch and the latter moaned lightly.

"This is gonna be fun." Fang said with a grin as Iggy looked up at him. Fang stared at Iggy, his hands folded gently across his chest, his strawberry blond hair lightly tousled, and his wings slightly extended standing out against the black sheets, his chest rose and fell slowly and gently and Fang could hear his heart beat hard and fast. He leaned in and whispered in his ear, "You are beautiful," He paused, "my love."

Iggy smiled and a tear rolled down his face. Fang reached down and wiped it off his face "Its true, Iggy."

"Thank you, Fang." He sat up and kissed him. "Come on. You've made this moment to damn sweet to ruin with animalistic moans and sweaty bodies. They're waiting. We still have some things to take care of."

Fang uncharacteristically pouted but went along with it, "Alright but you owe me."

"Owe you what, Hun?" Iggy giggled.

Fang blushed and put a hand between his legs, "I think you know. This," He squeezed gently, "Is mine tonight." Iggy turned bright red.

"COME ON LOVER BOYS! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!" Max's voice rang out from downstairs. Fang and Iggy laughed and got off the bed to head back in to the storm that was Max's rage.

"Hold your horses Max!" Iggy yelled back as he grabbed Fangs hand, "Once more into the fray." Fang smiled

As the couple walked downstairs Max had her trademark I-know-what-you-did look. Iggy just laughed and said "We didn't do nothin'."

Max then turned to Angel "He's telling the truth" Angel said. Fang and Iggy both blushed; they had forgotten about Angel's power. Fang thought to himself Damn, I gotta be more careful. Angel looked at him and nodded. Yes you do. Max was thinking about cutting off Iggy's...you know whats the entire time you two where up there. Fang was shocked not at Max's thoughts but the fact the Angel had just spoken to him through his mind. Yeah, Fang, I've been able to do it for a while now. Don't tell Max though. She'll flip. Fang ignored that and turned his attention back to Max

"Well?" she asked impatiently "What now?" she paused "Anyone?"

Everyone shuffled nervously not saying much. Then Gazzy piped up "Um...I think we should be happy that Fang's even back. I mean we all thought he was going to be gone..." He trailed off under Max's gaze. Max then looked up at Fang and her eyes softened.

"Actually, Gazzy, you're right." She smiled at Fang "We should be happy that Fang is back."

Fang looked at Max suspiciously wondering if she was being sincere. She is. She is very happy that you are back. She just wishes that you were with her. Fang tired sending a message back to Angel, Thanks, I needed to hear that.

Its fine Fang. Just don't expect me to be you're personal spy.

Oh I won't Angel. I promise. Fang looked at Max and smiled "Thanks, Max. Well um...I know you all have eaten but I..." His stomach growled and he laughed. "I'm starving."

Iggy ran over and opened the oven " I knew you'd be hungry so I saved these for you." He got oven mitts on and pulled out a plate of pancakes, Iggy set them on the table and smiled "There you go. I'll get you everything else."

Fang chuckled "Its fine, Ig. I can get it." Fang went around the kitchen and got everything needed for pancakes: butter, syrup, and silverware. He sat down and began to eat. The others sat at the table with him.

"So, after Fang is done stuffing his face, what do we wanna do?" Nudge asked.

"Well, we could just go for a flight." Iggy offered "You know? Get some exercise?"

"Or we could enroll in school for next year" Max said sternly.

Instantly a chorus of protest arose. "Come on, Max! Really"

Fang looked up from his plate. "Max is right you know. We've only got a few more years left before we're done with that horrible thing called school, and be honest, would you rather not go now and prolong the agony or just get it over with?" Everyone looked at Fang with confusion. "What?" he asked. "We need to be educated. Plain and simple." he went back to eating.

"Who are you and what have you done with Fang?" Gazzy asked.

Max looked at Fang "Wow...I didn't expect that from you, Fang. Thanks" she smiled.

"You're welcome."

After Fang was done eating and the house cleaned back up. The flock gathered outside and took off heading toward town and, more specifically, school. Fang, out of pure habit took his place beside Max and Iggy, not wanting to cause a fight, stayed behind. Your boyfriend misses you Fang. Go fly next to him. Fang didn't respond other than to break away and fall in next to Iggy. Iggy didn't notice until one of Fang's wingtips brushed against Iggy's.

"Oh...who's that?"

"Its me, silly" Fang laughed

Iggy smiled "Hi, babe. What brings you to the back of the flock?"

"You do." Fang said as Iggy blushed. "Sorry about not flying next to you. Habit."

"Its okay. You should be up there. You are second in command after all."

"Yeah but I'd rather fly next to you."

Iggy blushed and smiled. They kept flying like this for about an hour and the school came in to view.
