The Commission Files- File #a952 Dancing in the Moonlight
Characters: Max, Fang, Iggy, Ella, Angel (Maximum Ride)
Based on: a commission by miss_velvet_ on Twitter
Fang POV
High School dance night huh? Never really thought this was in the cards for me and Flock, but here we are. Iggy and Ella decided to dress up for the occasion, and I won't deny that they look pretty sharp, but Max and I just went in our normal clothes. Well, we at least got them washed and ironed so they looked a bit better. Dressing up just wasn't our thing, and the people who mattered to us understood that. Max looks great in anything though, not that she would ever take that compliment unless we were alone together. Either way, we walked into the gym and a few people looked to see us coming in but most of the crowd continued dancing and having fun.
"You doing okay Iggy, I know the music is a bit loud." Max whispered knowing he could hear it. I was a bit worried as well, but Iggy looked happy in his light blue tuxedo.
"I'm good for now, and I have a pair of earplugs if it does get bad for me." Iggy responded, his tone implying that he was grateful for the concern. Him and Ella were really hitting if off lately and he's been happier than I've ever seen him before, and that's wonderful. But that doesn't mean I couldn't still tease him a bit.
"Too bad you don't have shoes to fix your two left feet." I jabbed him and he just responded by sticking his tongue out at me.
"At least I'm not a refrigerator with wings." He jabbed back, calling back to that one time he called an Eraser that.
"Boys, come on, we're supposed to be having fun here." Ella cut in, but we were done anyways. "Let's get a table to sit at."
"Yeah, it's always good to have a home base when you're away from home." Max commented, her survival instinct kicking in a bit. I agreed with her as usual though, it was always a good idea to have a meeting place if things went south. So we all found a table and then we took turns getting food and drinks so it wouldn't get taken. Not that anyone would go out of their way to do that to us, we fit in well enough here, but sometimes things happen.
"Doesn't that suit make your wings feel all cramped up?" Max wondered as we were eating. We made sure to eat beforehand so we would take normal amounts of food here so we could be satisfied.
"A bit maybe, but I think it makes me look more handsome and loveable." Iggy teased since he honestly couldn't have much of an idea of what he looked like, being blind and all.
"I agree with that statement." Ella commented with a smile as she wrapped her arms around one of Iggy's and brought him a bit closer.
"And it has perks like this as well." Iggy added before placing a kiss on Ella's forehead, which got her to giggle a bit. "Still love that sound."
"Just be careful with the PDA you two." I warned them. "Don't want you to get kicked out and ruin your night or anything." I wouldn't have that problem because I had a plan for Max and I later tonight which involved not being here because I knew sooner or later Max would feel cooped up and want to leave.
"It's not like we're gonna start making out on the dance floor." Iggy teased me and I took it silently this time.
"Speaking of, I think I want to dance a bit, come on Iggy." Ella said standing up and taking his hand.
"I guess we'll see you later." Iggy said before they left Max and I at the table.
"He's been really happy lately, I like that." Max commented when they were out of Iggy's earshot.
"Me too, it's just another reason I'm glad we moved in with your mother." I commented.
"Yeah, it's worked out pretty well for us, all things considered. Though I doubt she was expecting to deal with six kids and a talking dog so suddenly." Max joked. "I do wonder how Gazzy, Nudge, and Angel are doing without us."
"Eh, I think they'll be good, I'm pretty sure there was a Spongebob marathon tonight, that should keep them busy." I noted with a smirk which Max caught.
"What's so funny?" She asked me with her own smirk.
"Just that you say your mother took in six kids and a dog, I say it was more like four kids, two teenage parents, and a dog." I replied.
"Well, I guess I can agree to that, now that we actually decided to be a couple." Max noted. "By the way, you look pretty good tonight, did you do something new with your hair?"
"Not particularly, just washed it a bit more than usual." I replied with a chuckle. "You look good too, but honestly you look good in anything." Max started to blush when I told her that.
"Come on, you're just saying that." Called it.
"Really, at this point Max?" I teased her and she blushed some more.
"Shut up." She said weakly, so I decided to let it go.
"I will, if you're willing to share a dance with me." I said laying my arm out on the table for her to take.
"Sounds like a fair trade to me." Max said taking it with a smile. So we moved over to a decently secluded area of the dance floor and started dancing together. Of course we didn't know many moves so we probably looked we were having seizure attacks, but we were together and we were having a good time. The music was good as well, really allowing us to cut loose as much as we would allow ourselves to. Eventually though it got to a slow song and all the couples started dancing closer to each other and I made the first move towards Max.
"I promise I won't step on your feet." I said softly and Max took my hands and we started moving back an forth together. We just silently danced together for a few minutes like that, just staring into each other's eyes and loosing each other in them. Eventually though Max got a bit closer and rested her head on my shoulder as we danced.
"You're pretty amazing, you know that Fang?" She whispered. Normally I would tease her for saying something like that, but I could hear the emotion in her voice.
"I try." I said simply.
"Why though?" Max wondered.
"Isn't it obvious, it's because I love you Max." I whispered back. "Always have."
"It's really just that simple isn't it?" Max commented. "I'm sorry Fang, I don't mean to doubt you as usual."
"Hey, don't worry about it Max, I know better than anyone how hard it is for us just to accept things as it is." I assured her as we kept stepping back forth together. "That's why I'm just gonna keep telling you the truth until it finally sticks."
"Thank you Fang, I really appreciate having you to lean on." Max replied pulling her head back and looking me in the eyes to say that to me.
"No problem, you do the same for me all the time." I told her back.
"And you know I love you back right?" She asked.
"I do, don't you worry about that." I assured her.
"Good." She said contently and then the music started to pick up the pace a bit. "Hmm, I'm starting to get a bit restless."
"You wanna get out of here then?" I asked her. "I have something nice I wanted to show you tonight anyways."
"Ooh, sounds like fun." Max said with her eyes lighting up a bit. "Let's tell Iggy and Ella first though so they don't worry about us."
"Sounds good to me." I agreed. Luckily Iggy and Ella were back at our table so we could talk to them.
"So, should I pretend that I didn't hear everything you two were talking about?" Iggy jested as we pulled up.
"If you value your health you will." Max threatened him with the signature 'Max' look.
"She's doing the look isn't she?" Iggy wondered.
"Yeah, she is." Ella confirmed.
"Then I should look scared right?" Iggy teased before pulling his best shocked expression.
"Just remember I know where you live." Max told him before she started to walk away and out of the gym.
"Don't know why she has to get all flustered about it." Iggy commented when she was outside. "I'm happy for you two, honestly."
"I know, and she knows too, it's still gonna take her a while to loosen up around all of us about it." I assured him. "But yeah, just keep being yourself and eventually she'll come around. Ella, tell Dr. Martinez we'll be back later tonight, I don't know when. I kind of depends on what happens."
"Will do, but as usual she probably won't mind unless you wake everyone up when you get home, you two are both in your 20's now." Ella replied. I just chuckled and nodded before heading outside with Max. "You know he just does it because he cares about you right?" I asked her about Iggy. "It's just his way of showing it."
"I know." Max admitted. "But, I don't know, I don't want to say I don't trust him because I do, with my life even, but I'm just not in a place to joke about our relationship with him yet."
"I get it, I really do." I assured her. "But I'm sure you'll get used to it, just how you got used to it with me."
"Yeah, you're probably right, as usual." Max replied, playfully rolling her eyes at me before adjusting her clothes and flinging her wings out. "Now, where are you taking me, it has to be someplace I haven't scouted out yet which is what is most surprising to me honestly."
"You'll see soon enough, it's honestly only a couple minutes away with our normal speed." I commented as I unfurled my wings as well. We both took a running start and in mere seconds we were as high as actual birds. I don't know what Max's thoughts on flying is, but to me it's still the ultimate thrill. Just being so high and going so fast, being able to do things normal people can't, the air is where I'm the most comfortable after the shadows. And on a dark night like this, well you could say I'm in my element. Anyways, I led Max to the little secret spot I had found a couple weeks ago, but even I was pleased with how it looked in the starry moonlight.
"Wow, this looks..." Max trailed off. And I had to agree. The place looked like a picture. A tall, wide cliff with water falling from multiple spots, filling a large pool of the cleanest and clearest water you could find in the whole state. And to top it all off the cliff was short enough that you could just sit on one of the lake's banks and take in the stars and moon as long as you wanted to. The moon was a decent sized crescent, I couldn't tell you for the life of me which type even with us being in school, and it and the stars reflected so nicely off the water.
"Come on, let's get a good look at everything." I said taking Max's hand and leading us to the perfect spot to look up at the stars.
"You know, this is one of the few amazing things you have to be on the ground to see." Max commented after a while. "You never see this when we're flying, I mean not like this. Yeah, you can look up and see some stars and such, but they just move by too fast to really take in like this. I'm glad the work we do keeps places like this safe, I think everyone should have the chance to see something like this in their lives."
"I couldn't put it better myself." I noted.
"Thank you Fang, this was really nice." Max added as she rested her head on my shoulder. "You really are good at this whole 'being romantic' thing."
"Once again, I try." I joked and we both laughed at that for a bit before things calmed down and we just sat there in comfortable silence, the only sounds to hear being the water falling, our breath, and our heartbeats. I felt this moment could last forever and I would have been okay with it, but eventually Max stood up and I got up with her. "Wanna go home?"
"No, I wanna go for a swim actually." Max noted. It was pretty warm so the water would probably be pretty nice, but this was a bit of a surprise for me.
"You know we don't have our swimsuits right?" I asked.
"Nothing we haven't already seen." Max replied in a confident tone. I liked it. But then I was thrown for another loop when she didn't stop with just her shirt and pants.
"Max, you want to skinny-dip?" I asked skeptically as I could feel my cheeks starting to blush. Luckily it was dark out and she probably couldn't see it too well. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm trying." Is simply what she said back to me and that's when it clicked. She was trying to be romantic. Far be it from me to stop Max from progressing in her emotions so I stripped down too and we dove into the water. Now this lake was nothing compared to the ocean we swam in when we were in Hawaii, but we aren't fighting for our lives now so we could take all of our time exploring it. And it was pretty nice, there were a decent number of fish and there were some weird plants and even some crevasses near the edges we could hide and swim through. But even with all of that, you all know what I was focused on. Max may deny it to hell and back but she is, in my opinion of course, the most beautiful woman in the world. That long, dirty blonde hair, thin aerodynamic body that still had muscle to it, and, not to sound too crude, her rack was pretty nice as well. But I controlled myself as best I could as we swam around and explored, though if Max looked she could probably see I was starting to get excited. After we explored the whole lake thoroughly enough Max motioned for us to go back to the surface so I followed her and our heads popped out of the water around the same time.
"That was really fun." I commented a bit out of breath since it had been a while since I had used my underwater breathing. "That was a wonderful idea Max."
"I'm glad you thought so." She said back with a smirk before wading closer to me and placing a kiss on my lips and then swimming off to the bank.
"You just gonna keep me hanging like that?!" I asked once my mind came back from the shock and I started chasing after her.
"If you want more you're gonna have to catch me!" Max teased.
"Challenge accepted!" I said back. And it was on. Max got to the shallow part of the lake before me of course and when I got there she started running about trying juke and dodge me as best as possible. Not only was this fun and romantic, it was a great way to dry our wings off so we could actually leave when we wanted to. But eventually I knew how to end the chase so instead of continuing to run I stood still and blended into the darkness, wrapping my wings around my body for the extra added effect.
"Come on Fang, don't tell me you've given up already!" Max called out when she couldn't see me anymore. I stayed quiet and eventually she got into my grabbing range and I reached out at got her. "Meep!" She squeaked kind of cutely and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten I can just do that already." I teased her back.
"Pshaw! I just let you win because it was getting sad, yeah that's it." She teased and we laughed again. "But you did catch me, so I guess you get a few more kisses."
"That's a prize I will gladly accept." I said in my best romantic voice before moving in and giving Max a very passionate kiss. It will never get old, the feeling of her lips on mine, our bodies becoming one, being so trusted and close to each other's hearts, and I'm confident Max feels the same. In fact I know she does, especially with what she said next.
"Mmm, more." She mumbled out before kissing me back again. This time we didn't break apart and started kissing each other over and over again. We let our wings go so we could wrap our arms around each other and start feeling each other all over. Eventually Max's arms went around my neck to pull me closer into the kiss while one of mine went to her back between her wings and the other trailed down and grabbed onto her hip, inching a bit closer to her butt every now and then. Oh, and fun fact, with our gils it's pretty much impossible to lose our breath completely while making out, so we could have gone on as long as we wanted, but eventually we pulled back to look at each other.
"See, you're good at this too Max." I told her sincerely. "I never would have thought about running around and chasing you like that."
"Thank you Fang, that means a lot." Max said blushing a bit. "But actually, I was thinking of something else we could do." After saying that she was blushing even more.
"And that would be?" I wondered, not quite getting it. But when I did I could just imagine Iggy facepalming at me.
"I want to do more, more than just kissing here." Max continued still blushing. That's when it hit me. Max wanted to have sex here. My brain went into 'cannot compute' mode for a few seconds after hearing that. Max had never brought up wanting to have sex, it was my idea the few times that it had happened, and I only brought it up when Max was in a really good mood. So her asking me this time, well it was almost like a dream. "Hello, Earth to Fang! Hot girl wants to have sex with him here, are you there? Don't make this harder than it already is!"
"Sorry, sorry, it's just, unexpected. That's all." I finally sputtered out.
"I know, but I'm actually in the mood after all of this." Max admitted. "And you're definitely in the mood, I could feel your dick rubbing up against my stomach the entire time we were making out." With that it was my turn to blush. "So yeah, I want to. How about you?"
"Well, I would love to." I started. "But..."
"But, what?" Max asked.
"I didn't bring any condoms." I admitted. That elicited one of the loudest laughs I have ever heard Max give off. I failed to see the humor in the moment just yet.
"Oh, don't give me that face." She told me. "You're telling me you planned out this romantic getaway and didn't even think to bring protection in case something like this happened?"
"I didn't it was going to get this far here." I replied. "I figured we'd hang out here for a bit and then maybe if you were feeling like it we could do it when we got home."
"At home? Where Iggy can hear everything and Angel can read our minds?" Max asked giving me a 'really dude?' type of look.
"I honestly didn't think we were gonna get this far." I fully admitted. "Sorry, I guess I'm not as romantic as advertised."
"Nah, you're still the best." Max assured me. "And I'm still in the mood. This may be a dumb idea, but what if we just say fuck the condom this time? We can stop before you get off, don't you think? We have enough experience with this now, right?" Again, I was in a bit of shock, but not enough this time to not reply in turn this time.
"I mean, it's up to you." I told her. "You're the one that's gonna have to carry a child and find out how we do kids if something goes wrong. If you're okay with that, then I am." The Flock might already be our family, but having an actual kid with Max is something I'm interested in eventually.
"Then I say we do it!" Max answered confidently. "Besides, we learned about how these things work in Sex Ed, I think today might be a safe day for me, but don't quote me on that."
"So be it." I said turning my romantic voice back on. It was a good thing we were standing, two people with wings having sex laying down was a hard sell on the best of days, but like this we could just face each other and let our wings fly free.
"Let's do what we did last time, I really enjoyed that position." Max commented and I nodded before picking her light frame off the ground and letting her legs go around my waist. It was perfect because I could line my dick up perfectly and just let her slide down on it as fast or slowly as she wanted it. "If we're kissing when you feel like your gonna go off just tap twice alright?" I nodded again and we started kissing again.
Now I know you're gonna want all the juicy details about how it felt being inside Max and all the build up to everything, but honestly I'm not the guy for that. It was good, it was hot as hell, hearing Max moan my name was amazing and she really belted it out knowing no one was going to hear us, but yeah, it was everything you've read in books or seen in porn or whatever you do to know what sex is like. Though I guess I can tell you how it ended because it was pretty hot what Max did.
"Max, I'm about to go, you better get off!" I moaned feeling myself about to let loose. So Max got off my dick and I was about to just beat the rest of it off, but to my shock Max squatted down and started doing it for me while using her other hand to get herself off. That alone was enough to get me to blow, but she did one more and placed a kiss on the tip of my dick and that did the trick. Semen started spurting out of my shaft and I made sure to aim it lower as best I could so it got on Max's chest and not her face. I did a pretty good job, though one small bit did hit her forehead, but I don't think she noticed.
"Maybe I should kiss you there more often." Max commented with a breathy voice as she stood back up and splashed some water on her chest to clean off my mess off of her.
"Well, I mean, blowjobs are a thing if you ever just wanna not do the whole thing." I said reaching my head behind my head in that expression you see guys do in anime. "And I'm totally down for eating you out if you're ever interested."
"Hm, noted." Max replied with a smirk and a wink. "Well, I think our wings are dry enough to get home now. You wanna stop at McDonalds before we get there though? Sex makes me hungry."
"Sounds good to me, and it'll give us time to clear our minds so Angel doesn't see all of that when we get home." I commented.
"I'll just bribe her with nuggets as usual." Max added and I laughed again.
"You're the best Max, I couldn't think of anyone better than you to fall in love with." I told her.
"I couldn't either, and there was a guy genetically made to try and make me feel otherwise, that's how much I love you Fang." Max replied, and honestly that did mean a lot. So we got dressed and went to go eat and bring some home. And sure enough when we got close to the house we both heard something in our heads.
You guys better have nuggets.
"Called it!" Max said with a smile and I could confidently say this was one of the best days of my life so far.
