"I..." Max started but then shook his head as he looked at Emma. "It's nothing, neverminded. Tell about you, what you've been up to."

As they entered Aki looked around, letting his eyes take in the cafe. He liked it, it was adorable and he was glad that they'd come here. "I think I might have the same because that sounds really good," he admitted with a smile and slight flush to his cheeks.

max follows behind aki into the cafe, giving it a look around. he's been here before, and it's a cute little place. he thinks, he hopes, that aki will like it. he looks to the other boy as he speaks, and then to the menu, nodding. "chocolate croissant and a coffee, i think. what about you?"

"I don't want to be around everyone, besides why should I? When the only reason most of you want me around is to fuck me or get something out of so no," Max said as he looked at Audrey. He missed her, he missed everyone but he didn't want to be around them, not if he was supposed to fit into some perfect box or idea of what he was. "This," he said, gesturing to himself. "Is better than going out and doing whatever the fuck it is that you want and expect of me."

"Is it?" Max smirked, watching Billy. He was in a playful mood and it showed.

"They think they know you based on what they read but they don't actually know you," Max countered as he looked at Giselle. "And for the record I don't actually know anything about you or your family." It was the truth, but he wondered what happened even if he wouldn't push when it came to that. She could tell him when she was ready or not at all, he wanted to get to know her what everyone thought of her. "The people who do that don't deserve your time or energy but considering they're tormenting you we should come up with a game plan. Because you don't deserve any of this."

Giselle let out a light chuckle. "No one knows me, but it seems that everyone knows me." Crossing her arms, she leaned her back against the counter. "Knows my dad, so they think they know me. Then they put pictures on my locker. Graffiti my building. My dad's grave. My mom's grave."

"I promise I won't make you wear something you hate," Max promised Emmeline. "I have a place we can start at and then go from there. I want you to be comfortable but also look amazing," he smiled. "We'll find something and it'll be amazing."

❝ Love black. Purple and red, also. Nothing too...diva glamorous. What is the attire of this thing? Ball gowns? ❞ Emmeline didn't have pictures of what she used to wear at the Church of Night. She was just going to have to give him her Pinterest board that she had already spent hours curating.

He chuckled as he watched her, looking back on it it was funny but at the time it hadn't been. "It did," he smiled. "My dads were not happy but at least their renewals were memorable for more than just being them. Though I will say that they would like to not have a repeat of that or that thanksgiving."

The giggles echoed in the room as Max had her in a fit of laughter. She was stoned, something she did to help her anxiety and that mixed with her guard being down around him, she was having a good time. "Stop!!" She giggled as she laid on the floor, holding her stomach. "You're gonna make me pee. I can't. That did not actually happen. You're so full of it."

Max hated gossip girl. It felt old and as if the people behind it were trying to make their own lives relevant while being jealous of what others had. Sure, people liked to speculate about the elite and wonder what it was like but they weren't spreading gossip about them like this anonymous person or people were. They weren't trying to destroy others because of what seemed like jealousy and envy, at least that's how Max saw it.

"Sure, the park sounds nice," he answered with a nod and a smile. He wasn't about to say otherwise when he truly thought that was a good idea. Not to mention that they would be able to people watch and hopefully see no one that they knew. It would be nice to be away from the familiar but with Cici.

"Sounds like a perfect plan," he smiled. "Let's go before someone decides to try and stop us." It was one of the few things he hated, when people tried to stop a plan, at least one like this, for no reason. Max held his hand out to Cici, waiting but not wanting to risk be separated from her on their way there.

Max hated Gossip Girl. If there was one thing he didn’t want to deal with it was some wanna be gossip blog that just feels like a stalker to him. He’d had his own dirty laundry aired and his own meltdown shown for everyone to see and yes it was his fault but he wasn’t about to give Gossip Girl anything if he could help it. It was wrong on so many levels and it felt far too invasive. But of course he kept how he really felt about the wannabe gossip blog to himself. Some seemed to love it but he felt it was just invasive and unnecessary but what could they really do about it? He didn’t know but he would support his friends, at least the ones that he liked being around and considered a friend, like Cici.

He gave her a smile and just held her hand as she spoke. She was one of the few that he felt like he could just be around and so he was but he also wanted to be supportive too. That’s what good friends did and he may not be good at much of it but he tried and he could always learn and do more if needed.

“That’s the best we can do until someone takes her down once and for all,” Max muttered so only she could hear it. He hoped that Cici was right about the group not being torn apart but he kept his own feelings about certain situations to himself. “Well you have me,” he smiled gently. “So, let’s do something and get away from all of them,” he gestured to the people lingering around. “We can go shopping or hang out or something.”

Cici was fairly certain everyone hated Gossip Girl. Except, you know, those looking to use her in order to make themselves feel important. But, of course, if you needed Gossip Girl, it was a sure sign that you were nobody to begin with. 

Kind of like her mother’s ex, Dan. It made Cici wonder just how many of their peers were sending in ‘anonymous tips’ about themselves. Hoping it (and by extension they) would go viral. 

When Max suggested going elsewhere, Cici immediately jumped on it. Because as much as she loved their friends and everyone else, right now the less people the better. “Can we go to the park?” She knew the whole hanging out on the green was very early 2000s, but at this moment she didn’t care.

It would be quiet there. And far from everyone in their inner circle. “We can watch the dog walkers and nannies with their charges…” Because who didn’t love puppies and small children. (Well, when those small children were not your responsibility).

There was always a part of Max that was on display. The one that everyone, including Audrey and Aki, saw. He rarely let them see the insecure part of him that was always buried beneath the surface. The one that saw how others were drawn to him like moths to a flame but most of those moths didn't see him as more than a hot body to add as a notch on their belt. And Max let them but now he was with people he liked and he worried that they wouldn't want him around if they saw all of him. "What if you don't like what you see beneath that light? What if I can't keep you and Ak interested when you get to know all of me, not just the light everyone is attracted too?" That was the real insecurity.

"I suppose we are."

tofeelthecold​:

Of course he cared about the people he considered friends, at least on some level but he didn’t know how to take this kind of conversation. Whether Audrey was complimenting him or just trying to placate him, he wasn’t entirely sure so he stood there and thought for a long moment and just listened. “There’s nothing wrong with being a voracious reader, it lets you explore topics and periods of time that classes don’t allow us to do,” he shrugged, not sure if that was the right thing to say or not. “Maybe it’s the other way around, that I’m worried about keeping your attention when there are better options out there for everyone?”

The discussion of his intelligence distracted from the flood of insecurities that drew a blush to her cheeks. She vacillated in her belief that he could really think he held such little value or interest to the world. He captivated people of all shapes and sizes. He always had that effect on the populace of the Upper East Side. Her mouth fell open and she shook her head. “I don’t know how others might feel with your radiant light shining on them, but Aks and I have waited a long time to bask in your warmth,” she insisted softly, gaze falling in embarrassment. Perhaps he mistook their interest as nothing more intimate than those of his casual lovers. 

“I suppose we’re all scared.”

[tofeelthecold]

Max couldn't help the smile that formed on his face as he heard her answer. "Why don't I take you shopping? I know the best places and I can get you into anywhere," he offered. He may not always come across as someone who liked to shop but he did, it was one of the things he did with his dad. "I want to make sure you look stunning, I want to show you off."

tofeelthecold​:

“I do, and I appreciate it,” Max said gently as he looked at her then out at the people milling about. Hope was one of the few people he felt he could be himself around and he wouldn’t trade that for anything. “Great,” he smiled. “You don’t have to worry about dancing, I’m not big on it either but the food and drink and drama is always fun,” he chuckled as he looked at her. “My only question is if we need to go shopping or if you have something to wear?”

Oh. CLOTHES. Truth be told, while Hope liked to think that she had a sense of fashion–one she got from her mother, not her father–if he was talking about some very fancy, rich people thing, then well…she probably didn’t. She had the occasional dress, but this was a whole other league. “Um…probably not. I could always whip something up, but I probably need to go shopping…”

[tofeelthecold]

Of course he was being playful but serious because he genuinely wanted to know. It wasn't as if he would ever know if he didn't ask but then again maybe he shouldn't. Max knew that he had a reputation and it wasn't exactly the best but underneath it all was an insecure young man who genuinely didn't know how anyone felt about him. But it was something he shouldn't have asked so he turned from serious to playful and shrugged.

"I'm just repeating the lyrics, Audge," he gestured to the room where soft music could be heard.

“I got to know the pretty face and electric soul,” Max leaned over to whisper in Audrey’s ear, eyes on everyone around them. “But the question is, will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?”

the  seriousness  of  max’s  face  was  not  lost  on  her  but  at  the  same  time  he  played  around  too  much.  he  had  no  problem  playing  with  emotions  and  sometimes  it  infuriated  her  that  he  could  not  just  be  real  to  her.  her  blue  eyes  narrow  before  she  closes  her  mouth  not  wanting  to  come  off  as  rude,  he  was  most  likely  joking. “  stop  being  dramatic,  you  KNOW  how  i  feel  about  you,  wolfe.  “

A smile appeared on Gideon's face as he watched his son. He was lucky to have his family, to be able to have a son and be the family they were. But his only priority was for Max and he wanted to get him away. Get them all away and relax and have fun as a family.

"Alright, and when you do we can book everything together, okay?" he smiled as he looked at her. There was a lot that he wanted to do with him but he was focused on making sure that Max knew he was loved and that nothing was going to change how he or Roy felt about him.

max knows he's very lucky to have two dads that love him the way that his do, that accept him and truly do what they can for him, because they want the best for him. they mean a lot to him, and he hopes he's able to show that.

he smiles as gideon speaks, suggesting a vacation, and nods. "i'd love that, i think that's exactly what we all need." a trip with his dads sounds really perfect. his head tilts as he thinks over where they could go. "i'll think about where."

[tofeelthecold]

"Because I don't care what this means, and it doesn't seem like you're responsible for whatever those pics and any of this means," Max said, waving at the discarded pictures and the locker. "You deserve someone to be in your corner and I know what it's like to be ostracized by your peers when you could really just use a friend."

❝ Merde. I am so unprepared for this shit. ❞ Snapping out of her disassociation, Giselle turned around and looked up at him. ❝ Why do you care? You don't even know me. Why help me? ❞
