NO EXACTLY. because i'm thinking by the point where landoscar start semi-seeing each other (dates, they're both incredibly busy. both agree work comes first, but they can't stop seeing each other because they're Them and lando can't go five minutes without sending oscar a picture or two of something neat and cool he saw in paris + lando needs help with his French and hey oscar, didn't you take a course exclusively in french? you'd be able to help, right?) george and max's feud is already established. oscar's so worried about a good first impression since this is his first Serious job in the industry but he's the only one who receives Actual compliments from max. like. in my mind i feel like he corrects something max does on the garnish his first week there and the Entire kitchen is like. collectively holding their breath because fuck. Max is about to totally chew this kid out but he just. Doesn't. he accepts the advice and you can physically feel the tension leave the room.

lando knowing all the little things about oscar because he instagram nose dives one night and also because george is just. always talking smack about max at work so everyone's getting annoyed. they've All heard about the webber-protege max hired, not for the first time.

NO EXACTLY. criticism is in the public eye, but the praise is for whispered moments under sheets when their limbs are tangled together <3 max cooks him something when it's just the two of them, george nursing a hangover from an evening of expensive wine and questionable choices and he's just. in Awe at how easily max moves around in the kitchen. just watches as max hums to himself and chops up the vegetables. max also lets george try everything as well. "do you think this sauce is ready?" "how do you like your steak?" and george finds a joke to throw in here and there, makes sure he calls max princess because it's Their Thing, even if it isn't exactly hostile anymore.

this actually killed me... their conversations becoming more and more frequent because the universe just Handed them both something good and they're reluctant to take it so landoscar have to go and give them a little push and shove in the name of progress. max is hard on his staff, but at the end of the day, when they're sharing a bottle of wine in the back after a successful evening, he cracks jokes with them and lets them know he's proud because that was something his father never did when max was growing up and he isn't going to repeat that behavior. i think them arguing over landoscar is so inexplicably silly of them, and max tells himself he's *only* texting george because of that, but he has to bite back a smile when george sends him something funny and charles so busts him one day in the middle of a conversation and max just barks "back to work" but he's so fond and sappy and his ears are red.

my gawd, it's beautiful
