Our Song [MaxTul]

Thinking Out Loud

I kept my promise.
I enjoyed writing and rereading this, I hope you will too ♡

Max stays silent for a moment when it's Tul's turn to answer their interview. It's about one song to represent their relationship.

'Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran," Tul answered.

Max frowns at Tul's answer. No, not that it's weird. Tul will always pick Ed Sheeran's songs. Max knows he loves the singer so much and he will feel strange if Tul didn't pick his song on every occasion. He always listens to his favorite singer, everywhere and every time.

Max didn't feel really well that day. He has nasal congestion and feels a little dizzy. However, he pushes himself to work as he will play their new series next month. He has to do this interview and others too to promote the new coming series. A MaxTul comeback series, Manner of Death. Moreover, he has to show his gratitude to their fans who wait for them. Max still can't believe their fans stayed since their last series together. He thought the fans would leave as they stopped playing in the same series or movies. So when Mae Nui called him that she got them a come back series, he felt overwhelmed. He felt delighted, agitated, touched, and mostly...scared.

He was scared he couldn't deliver what people expected him to give. He was fat before Mae Nui called him, which means he has to lose some weight. Max never cared about his weight before, but now that he'll play in a series of required him to take off his shirt, he has to. He was scared he couldn't lose some weight in a really short time. He hit the gym to burn the calories, tried to eat as little as possible, ignoring how big an appetite he has. However, the thoughts always attack him. He was afraid he would disappoint Mae Nui, the producer, phi Tul, and the fans. And it results in a massive weight loss. He was skinny, he knows it. And he knows the fans know it too, but he never brought that up as he doesn't want them to feel sad.

He was thinking too much he felt a little sick. But still, he has to do his job right. And Max knows, with all worries added with his state now, he is more sensitive. He would immediately feel what people feel around him. No, he's not a psychometric, duh. He's just sensitive, and when Tul answered Thinking Out Load as their song, Max's memories suddenly blasted his head. that he always plays the song around him for quite some time now. 

" I feel like we work to find a perfect balance for each other,"

Max frowned harder when he heard Tul continues. Tul is right tho, they balance each other. Looking at how they have totally different personalities but still perfectly fine with no war in between sometimes amuses Max. Tul is a religious person, to begin with when Max is the opposite, he's a free spirit. He even remembered when Tul scolded him for playing on a temple's floor. "You're disrespecting them," Tul whispered that time. Max just grinned as he usually does. moreover, Tul is the smartest man Max ever met. Hell, Max barely survived on graduating college when Tul has a flying score. Don't even start on Tul's talents. No no. Max is not gonna lie when he feels intimidated sometimes when he's near Tul, and he feels really honored to work with him. For over 6 years nonetheless. That's superb and Max couldn't be more proud.

Tul is a reasonable person. A really reasonable person. He wouldn't do something without thinking and planning about it first. That's what makes Max frown when he heard Tul answered the song represents 'work' when it's obviously about love. So Max thinks that maybe Tul must really love this song and interpret it as a work song too. Smart people's brains work in a different way, right? Moreover, Tul never misses the chance to play this song whenever they are together. And most of the time, they're together for work. So as he usually does, Max retorts Tul's answer immediately after Tul finished.

"Not true! He always listens to this song when we're together,"

Max even added that Tul has been playing the song for over five years and ignored how Tul said he didn't know what to play. Max didn't believe him as he also recalls Tul played other songs when he's with the others.
