Fang
"Fang?" I stood next to him and wrapped my hand in his. I can't believe what just happened. I mean, I had handled Iggy kissing me pretty well but I was freaking out. I mean- he was my brother practically. I had no guilt, once I told Fang about it. "Can we talk?" He nodded his head and brought me to his room. I motioned to the flock in the room to stay where they were.
In his room, Fang turned to stare at me with a strange look- as if he already knew what I was going to say. I had to explain everything and slowly. Carefully so as not to get Fang mad, which would be hard.
"Iggy got his sight back," I said. Fang gave a brief glimpse of happy shock but didn't say anything knowing I wasn't done. I ran a hand nervously through my hair. "He…um…kissed me."
"What?" I saw Fang broke, I saw the anger. Instinctively, I reached up and grabbed his shoulders. Fang stared at me. He appeared a little hurt when he saw that I still had something more to say.
"Let me explain," my hands moved to his face so he couldn't look away. He needed to see the truth. "He kissed me- I think it's partially due to the Valium that my mom gave him and the fact that he can see. It meant nothing and I kissed him back." Fang moved away from me then. I sighed and continued anyways, "I kissed him back because he's Iggy and he had his sight back Fang. The only feelings I had were joy for the fact that one of my family was happy again."
Fang stood there silently…well, more silent than usual. He was stiff and was glaring at me for a moment. "Once he's off the Valium, he'll be okay. People are a bit more loose on that stuff if you recall."
"But you meant it." Fang said, "When you told me you loved me, they were your feelings. What if Iggy truly was acting off his feelings?"
"Doesn't matter! You know if it was under different circumstances I would've punched Iggy into next week! Fang, don't be so dumb about this." I stepped over to him so that I could stare up at him. We were both really angry now. Why wouldn't he just believe me? I took a deep breath and counted to ten.
"Max, I love you," Fang whispered, my heart did a billion jumps with excitement- not like when Iggy had said it.
"Fang, I love you. H-E-double hockey sticks. You are the only one. No one compares to you." Cheesy right? But I needed something to get through his handsome, thick head that I needed him.
For Fang those lines were enough. I guess when I spell out a swear, he knows I mean business. He reached for me and pulled me into a very possessive, territory-grabbing kissing. I allowed him that.
There was a lot of passion and fire that exploded between us. The anger was slowly melting away but it made it the kiss so much more exciting. Fang's lips were rough and firm against mine which were limp from the touch.
Without a sound of warning, Nudge burst through the door. "Oh good, you made up. I think you should know. Iggy is acting really weird." I raised an eyebrow, still in Fang's arms. We had a lot of apologizing left to do I think.
"What do you mean Nudge?" Fang asked.
"Well- he just tried kissing me and then, when I said no-," Nudge cracked up in laughter. "He tried kissing GAZZY!!" I gave a smirk to Fang- I just proved my theory right. Valium does not do well when given to bird kids. Then, we gave ourselves a moment to laugh before we decided to go get Iggy and try to calm him down.
And just for you doubt filled readers…
I always chose Fang.
Always.
