Sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. I got– distracted. Anyway, I'm sorry I left you with a cliffhanger for so long. I was working pretty hard on this chapter for a long time. I'm not sure I like where this story is going. I'm open to suggestions!
Iggy: Where did Kai go?
Glimmer: I don't know I'm not her babysitter!
Kai: I'm right here!
Iggy: Hi Kai!
Glimmer: In case y'all were wondering, Kai is my best friend, so every time you review, make sure you say hi to Kaisuikage!
Fang: I have a question for all you reviewers!
Glimmer: Wow you have finally decided to acknowledge the fact that I have reviewers! Good job Fang!
Fang: Ha. Ha. So funny. Anyway, my question is, which MR book is your favorite? My favorite is Fang, because it's named after me!
Glimmer: That's my least favorite one.
Fang: Why?
Glimmer: Because that's when I started hating you! ^.^
Fang: I left for a good reason, and it was for the greater good of the flock
Glimmer: Really, Fang. Stop. Just, stop. Shut up. Right now.
Kai: Glimmer269 may be my best friend, and she may be the awesomest friend ever, but she doesn't own Maximum Ride. :( If she did, however, then Ella wouldn't get Iggy, I would! HE'S MINE!
Glimmer: Kai, chill...
Iggy: * smirks *
Kai: Oh he's still here... Gosh darn...
Glimmer: Well anyway, Insecure-Invisible-Shy-Lonely, you are totally right. I am evil!
FANG POV
After Max came under the covers with me, she started crying. I put my arms around her in attempt to comfort her. I had just realized how awkward this would look to anyone who walked in right now, when Iggy walked in. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear,
"Oh. My. God."
This looks bad, doesn't it...
"Iggy, I swear we weren't– doing anything..."
"Yeah? That's not what that big ol' hickey on your neck says!"
"You can't even see that!"
"I can see big splashes of color against white!"
Oh crap. She still had the hickey from before. I had a mini flashback from when she warned me about that when we were kissing.
"That was from before!"
"Before I walked in..."
"Iggy, I swear!"
"Iggy," Fang said, obviously infuriated, "If you don't trust me to keep her– pure, then why should I trust you with anything? You aren't being a very good friend right now!"
"I'm not being a very good friend? How many times have you beat me up recently? More than you should have! Last time I checked, friends don't beat friends up!"
She pulled the covers up over her head, and scooted down a bit so that she was out of sight. I didn't see why because of course, Iggy is, well, blind...
"And do you know how bad this whole situation seems? Look at yourselves!"
He had a pretty good point there...
"That may be true, but–"
"But nothing! I have to go, so bye."
"Iggy I–"
I really couldn't find anything to say. He was right, this looked bad. Well he couldn't see, but my comforter was white, so he could make out our outlines. I know, white comforter. If I could, I would go out and buy a new one, but I can't.
I got out of bed and then grabbed Max, carried her to her room, and put her in her bed, pulling the covers up over her.
"Thanks," she whispered almost inaudibly, "Fang?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you,"
"I love you too Max,"
I walked over and kissed her head. She wrapped her arms around my neck, surprising me a little bit, and pulled me closer to her.
"I changed my mind, Fang," she said, "I don't want to sleep, I want to be with you."
"Well," I said in a normal voice, ruining the moment, "We shouldn't kiss here, because it would look sketchy if anyone walked in..."
"Waitta ruin the moment Fangles,"
I grinned and picked her up bridal style.
"Let's go for a fly, shall we?"
"We shall,"
She smiled at me. A genuine smile. I knew all me and Iggy wanted was for her to be happy, so why were we fighting? She was happy with me, and not him. I wouldn't care if she was with Iggy and she was happy. But if she was with Iggy and she wasn't happy, then there would be a problem. Apparently I had zoned out, because Max clapped her hands in front of my face, making me jump and almost drop her.
I walked out of the house, with her still in my arms, and leaped into the air.
"Fang," she said, "You can put me down now!"
"Can I?"
I dipped her down and she screamed. She wriggled out of my grasp and hit me with her wings when she quickly unfurled them. It sent me flying downward and into the top of a tree. She laughed and came after me.
"I win," she said, when she was finally down to where I was.
"One: You cheated," I said, laughing, "and two: We weren't even playing a game!"
"Well if we were I would've won."
I grabbed her and gave her a quick peck on the lips. She tried to pull me back to kiss me again, but I took off into the sky before she could.
"Well?" I said impatiently, "Aren't you coming?"
She smiled and was quick to follow. We both flew fast. I tend to fly faster when I have someone chasing me. I knew that if I tried hard, she would never catch me, but I slowed a little and let her catch me. I'm just that nice.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "You're going down, mister."
I looked over my shoulder and our lips connected. I turned around without breaking the connection, and tilted my head, deepening the kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her even closer and closing the gap between us.
Our wings were beating in perfect unison, keeping us aloft. It felt good. Like that is where we were meant to be.
For now, at least.
Glimmer: Well, all's well that ends well!
Fang: That is a stupid saying.
Glimmer: Fang, don't be a hater, be a believer!
Iggy:
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Kai: Only you, Ig. Only you...
