Max POV
When I woke up the sky was darker outside. I checked the time and saw it was 2:00 pm. Fang was in the stage of wakefulness where you're not quite awake yet, next to me. His eyes opened a little wider and he blinked a few times. His midnight hair was scruffier than normal and his eyes looked groggy. I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed some bread and a butter knife, and then went to the fridge to get cheese, mayonnaise, and turkey. Ten minutes later I walked out with two sandwiches. Fang sat on the couch looking more alive.
As he looked at my hands holding the sandwiches his eyes got wide. I glared at him and handed the sandwich over. He took a dramatic bite before smiling at me with his approval.
"Ha ha, I'm dying from laughter." I said and glared at him. He shrugged and smirked up at me.
"Since you're not feeling the best I thought we could do something to cheer you up." I suggested.
"Like what?" Fang asked gesturing to his side as if saying 'I can't do anything.'
"Like….play a board game."
"Max, there's a reason they're called board games." He retorted.
"Well, Mr. Grumpy Pants, it was just a suggestion."
"Can you turn on the stereo right there?" Fang pointed to a stereo across from him near the other wall. I walked over and pressed the ON button.
Linkin Park's "Burn it Down" flooded its way through the speakers. I started to dance to the song and Fang raised an eyebrow.
"The cycle repeated,
as explosions broke in the sky.
All that I needed
was the one thing I couldn't find.
And you were there at the turn, waiting to let me know,
We're building it up
To break it back down.
We're building it up
To burn it down!
We can't wait to burn it to the ground.!
The colors conflicted,
as the flames climbed into the clouds.
I wanted to fix this
but couldn't stop from tearing it down.
And you were there at the turn
caught in the burning glow.
And I was there at the turn
waiting to let you know,
we're building it up,
to break it back down!
We're building it up,
to burn it down!
We can't wait
to burn it to the ground!"
I twirled around and Fang laughed. He started to rap the next part.
"You told me yes.
You held me high.
And I believed when you told that lie.
