"Max," someone whispered in my ear. Um… it wasn't a flyboy, it had no robotic monotone drawl, not a clipped, clear Whitecoat staccato…
"Whaaaaa?" Was all I could muster up. Man, I cannot remember the last time I was this tired… oh right… it was yesterday…
"Max," the person whispered again, its breath tickling my ear. At least I think it was a person… yes, folks, in my life, that is a legitimate worry. "Max, wake up. We have to get the rest of the flock up."
Hmmm… it was a guy…that was for sure. I reached out and touched warm skin. Someone's cheek. I felt the face carefully, tracing its features. Angular cheek bones, soft skin, nice nose, long, silky hair…Hmm. Who was this? …Wait a second. What the heck was I doing? My morning fog cleared suddenly, and I sat straight up, and when doing so, knocking heads with some one, who emitted a little sound of surprise. "Jeez, Max, you don't have to kill me. I was just trying to wake you up." This time, I didn't have to open my eyes to tell who it was. Fang. I had been feeling Fang's face. Oh, my…
I stood up abruptly, my knee still hurting, but not as much as my pride. I tried to step around him, but he reached out and caught my arm. I looked to my left, right, anywhere but him. Until he lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. There was a hint of a smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. "Come on, Max. You know you liked it." I glared at him. The nerve!
"Uh huh," I said coolly, trying to ignore how close our faces were and the fact that his hand was still cupping my chin. "About as much as I appreciate Gazzy's little 'gifts.'"
Fang grinned unexpectedly, making my heart do a quick tango. "That's what I-"
"My what?" I heard Gazzy say groggily. Oh, crap. I sprang away from Fang like he had the plague. I heard him smirk next to me. Yes, that's right, heard. Super hearing just comes with the birdkid package (includes attitude, sarcasm, and bad bird jokes. Some assembly required).
"Your… breakfast," I said quickly, before Fang could get a chance to say anything. "Which is coming up as soon as you can get Iggy awake."
Gazzy yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Sweet. Hey, Ig!"
I sighed and was about to get the other two up when I heard Fang say, "Max," from behind me.
I keep telling myself it was reflexes that made me turn my head. "Hmm?"
He just gave me a we'll-talk-about-this-later look and brushed past me, sending shivers down my spine. Jeez. I really need to keep my hormones in check…
