    Summary

    "Oh, sorry, shall I come back tomorrow? I had to ask around for a while until I found this place", someone says behind him, and Max's entire body freezes in place. When he turns around, sir Daniel's looking straight at him. He smiles when Max stares.

    "If you're looking for my father, he's already gone for the day", he says, proud of how steady his voice comes out.

    "Ah, well, good thing I was looking for you then", the knight replies, smile widening even further if possible, and Max's brain short-circuits.

    ---

    Max is an aspiring blacksmith, and Daniel is a knight. Daniel's sword breaks.

    “ And it looks like Daniel's imagining it too. "My lands are down south. We get plenty of sun, and you can visit the sea any time you want. I'll get tan and you'll burn, yeah?", he whispers as his thumb starts tracing small patterns on Max's jaw. He wants to rip away the stupid gloves, so he can feel Daniel's skin against his own.”

    Summary

    He wants to spend his summer break at home, just like he had every other year, and he still is, in a way. So despite how badly Max wanted to spend his summer holed up alone in his apartment, there was someone he wants to be with even more, and when Daniel had texted him ’miss you :(‘ from across the globe, Max had sighed, packed his bags and called his pilot with plans to fly west, to an unfamiliar city he's only seen in movies. Max's relationship with Daniel is new, but he knows more than ever that home is no longer a place to Max, home is a singular person.

    Summary

    “Mm,” Toto hummed, neutrally. He took George’s head between his warm, very large hands, looking at him in the same way an owner would firmly hold their dog’s head to assess their eyes for the fever of disobedience. It had the peculiar effect of meeting his gaze while making George feel like they weren’t making eye contact at all.
    “Is that alright, George? If we did?” he asked, softly. “I am, how do they say. Old school.”
    “Yes,” George rasped. “Please.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “ He’s a different Max with Daniel (for Daniel). This Max is softer, blunted at the sharp edges so he doesn’t cut a friend or give a reporter a great big knife to wield against him.

    When his father scolds him for being unserious, Max nods along, but in his heart he’s somewhere else. This obedient Max is not false, but neither is he so happy anymore.”

    Summary

    The blissed feeling is still there in the morning, when his dad comments on it. "This year you've looked more… Centered, maybe. Hardened", he says, looking at Max with something akin to approval.

    If he only knew what Max has to do to stay this way.

    ---

    There's something off about Daniel, even the people around them don't seem to notice. Max does.
