Summary
Uh oh, Veerle spent too long out in the cold and now Maxim has to take care of him, oh nooooooo I hope they aren’t super gay about it (I’m lying, they are)
Content warning: There are discussions of Veerle’s past self-destructive behaviours as well as his general problems with self worth. This is also in the context of how that affects Maxim as well. Though it’s mostly in the past tense, it’s still there, so just a heads up if that’s not something you want to read about. Take care of yourselves!

Summary
A series of the many times in this au that these two kiss on the mouth without actually acknowledging their feelings :)
Mixture of fluff and some heavy angst. Happy ending though.
I want these out of my brain and into the world as quickly as possible so none of them will be beta read and the editing might be very iffy.
