Work Text:
Somewhere in Nevada…
Max was standing around the windowsill. Staring into the crimson-red sky. It was always like this nowadays since that bitch Wimbleton killed the sun. He was supposed to meet around in this area of the base at 12 PM—it’s 12:10! He’d been standing here for the last 20 minutes!
This morning after he ate breakfast, one of his fellow coworkers just came up to him and asked him if they could meet up somewhere, just for a little… surprise. Max was rubbernecking at the thought of meeting up, just for… a surprise. He reluctantly agreed to meet up at noon.
Anyways, Max was still staring deep into the hellish Nevadean landscape, starting to get slightly impatient.
Before he knew it… Tap on his shoulder. He turned around, finally. It was Joey.
M: “Heyyyyyy, suddenly goes comically stern you’re late.”
J: “Heh, hehe, sorry, ‘axie… I… uh.. had to go deliver a crate suddenly..” blushing slightly
M: So… What is it I had to wait 25 minutes standing around for?
J: uh.. I.. made a little something for you taking out a little paper card thingy, giving it to Max
M: Receiving the card oh.. well thanks Joey..! starting to blush a little
When Max opens the card, it’s a “pop-out” card thingy of an asymmetrical heart with the words written “CAN I BE YOUR BOYFRIEND??” on it. Reading it, Max was blushing a little, thinking about it…
Joey was just a little friend of his, he never expected for him to have a… crush on him.. Now that he comes to think of it, he might as well feel the same way for Joey…
He let out a little nod, while Joey suddenly hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. They were huddling near the window, barely pressing against the glass, and almost losing their balance. Max then slowly kissed Joey—he tongue kissed Max, their mouthes mashing with one another, all in a tight hug, making out.
3 days later, at dinner time, Max and Joey were sitting together at the same table, all huddled together, until…
This other agent, came up to Joey—but saw him cuddling up with Max… He looked stunned for a second, and after a few seconds he put all the pieces together.“You.. Joey… You..you cheater…”
J: No, No, it’s not what it looks like!
M: Joey…?
The other guy looked at Joey and Max, scoffed, and walked away, trying his hardest to suffocate the emotions.
M: This whole goddamned time you were PLAYING ME? suddenly backing away, disgusted
J: I’m sorry babe—
M: No you’re not! NO YOU’RE NOT! backing as far away from him as possible, shedding tears
J: No! I really am! We can fix this—
M: NO YOU’RE NOT.
About 4 weeks later, after they broke up, they never really spoke to each other again. Joey was better off single, and Max started dating someone else.
