(art by me)
(this is a sequel to 'feelization' because somebody requested one)
Max was not very good at learning things. He constantly forgot how to read, his handwriting looked like a drunk chicken dipped it's claws in ink and walked across the page, and even though he was surprisingly good at multiplication, the rest of math was just a blur.
But recently he'd had to learn something even harder.
Restraint.
The word wasn't even in his vocabulary. He never restrained himself from doing anything, but when it came to his feelings for Sam, he had to learn.
He resisted the urge to reach for his hand when they were walking together, the urge to lean his head on his shoulder when they sat on the couch, the urge to kiss his cheek after a successful case, everything.
But at night, when Sam was asleep in the bunk below him, he let go of the restraints and imagined everything like that.
He imagined Sam taking him to a fancy party while he wore a beautiful dress, dancing with him under the spinning disco ball.
He imagined Sam pushing him on a swing set in the park, making sure to catch him when he inevitably fell off.
He imagined them holding hands and walking together on the beach, Sam in his blue shorts and Max in his little girls swimsuit that he'd gotten for 80% off at a summer sale.
He imagined them hug-walking and Sam holding the umbrella over them both when it was raining.
Back to reality.
Max sighed gently, looking up at the ceiling. While Sam was sleeping in the bunk below him, he carefully got out of bed, sliding down the rope and looking at him. He looked so handsome, even though he was drooling on his pillow. Max smiles, giggling to himself.
He steps closer, very slowly lying down next to him on top of the blankets. It didn't make much noise, seeing as how he was so light. He stared at Sam's gorgeous face, getting closer and nuzzling up to him, very gently lifting his arm and draping it over himself. He enjoyed the warmth, feeling happy.
He then looks at Sam's face. Wow... their lips were really close together. He blushes.
'Would he wake up if I...? No, I shouldn't..' Max thought to himself. 'But then again, he probably wouldn't know.... No, I really shouldn't." Max shakes his head, lowering himself so that he could snuggle into Sam's chest. He let out a soft sigh, falling asleep.
*time skip*
That morning, Max woke up first, blinking his eyes. He noticed he was still in the arms of Sam, but now, he was under the covers. "H-huh...?" he says softly. It wakes Sam up, who stirs, opening his eyes. "Oh, good morning, little buddy..." he says, yawning afterwards. Max looks at him nervously. "M-morning Sam, h-how'd I get in your bunk..?" Sam giggles. "Well, I dunno, but your sleep-kicking woke me up in the night, and I was too tired to move you back to your own bunk so I just moved you under the blanket." he smiles.
Max blushes. "Gee, that was really nice of you..." Sam pets his ears. "Well I couldn't just let ya freeze to death." Max smiles. "Well I mean it's not like I could with you holdin' me like a plush toy." Sam smiles. "Yeah, I guess so." Sam then sits up. "So, ready to start the day?" max hops out of bed. "You know it!"
That day was pretty boring, just hanging in the office. There were no calls or walk-in customers. So Sam just sorted through paperwork and Max played with a ping pong paddle at his desk.
Sam finishes sorting, getting up and going to sit on the couch. "Well, i finished my paperwork, i think I'm gonna have a nap." he says, taking his hat off and lying on his side. "Kay." Max says, putting his paddleball away.
A few minutes later, Sam was sleeping peacefully. Max walks over to him, looking at him while he sleeps. Just as handsome as ever.
The same thought from last night came to his mind, making him blush. "No! Stop thinking about that max!" he yell-whispers to himself, as to not wake Sam up.
He then looks at Sam again, sighing. He lies down next to him on the couch, cuddling into his chest again. Sam moves his arm over max in his sleep, holding him. Max blushes, but remains cuddled up to him.
He then relaxes, enjoying the warmth and beginning to purr.
Eventually Sam wakes up, noticing the purring bunny, giggling. "Max?" he asks, snapping Max out of his lovestruck stupor. "W-what?" Sam smiles. "Are you comfy, buddy?" Max nods nervously. "Y-yeah...?" Sam sits up, Max still in his arms. "Any particular reason you're cuddling up to me?" max keeps blushing. "I-i was cold! And I was too lazy to go to my bed and get the blanket, so I decided to mooch off your disgusting body heat.'' Max says. Sam giggles. "Well if you want to snuggle you can just ask me." Max looks up at him. "You know I'm bad at mushy crap!" he says. Sam laughs. "Yeah, I know."
Max gets up off Sam's lap. "Well, I think I've had enough affection for one day, big guy." Sam snorts. "Suit yourself." Max then went to their room to lie down in his bunk.
He groans, covering his face and thinking to himself 'Why can't I just be content with us being friends?' Then again, Sam hadn't really seemed to be opposed to the affection... but he was probably just being nice... right..?
Max sighs. "Why is my life so complicated..."
That night, Sam was once again asleep while Max was lying next to him, staring at him again. Admiring how handsome he was, and thinking about how much he wanted to kiss him..
He thought to himself. 'He'd never find out right..? I mean what are the chances he'd wake up? Low right? He's a heavy sleeper... right?'
After a long internal discussion with himself, he decided just one tiny kiss wouldn't hurt.
'Just once, then never again' he thinks to himself as he slowly scoots his face closer to Sam's.
He's nervous as his heartbeat speeds up.
Before he can think any more, he takes Sam's face in his hands and ever so gently kisses him on the lips.
Max felt like his heart was gonna burst.
It only lasted about 3 seconds before he pulled away, breathing slowly.
Thankfully, Sam didn't wake up.
Max quickly got out of his bunk and climbed back up to his, hugging his pillow and squealing into it, kicking his feet.
That woke Sam up. "M-max?" he says, still lying down.
Max went cold. "W-what..?"
"Why are you so excited? Your kicking woke me up." Sam asked, giggling a bit.
Max felt relieved. "Well, I had a nice dream about pummeling some criminals, and it made me excited!" he replied, giggling as well.
Sam smiled. "I see. Well, keep it down, okay bud?" he says, yawning.
Max laughed. "Okay, sleepyhead."
Sam yawned and turned over. "Night max." and soon he fell back asleep
Max grinned. "Night sam." he whispered.
He'd never know.
