Not such a little shit

~~Glimpse into the Future pt 3~~

As promised, the most requested off of the last voting chapter I posted, so I hope it is enjoyable to read-thank you again for your patience.

Neil's P.O.V.

Max's acting weird. Ever since we had those dreams about our future.

I mean...yeah what I saw really shocked me, but Max is really just...idk looking at me different? I mean-maybe he saw what I saw and is embarrassed about how I.....got a little carried away with the kiss.

I still go bright pink whenever I think about it-but, I don't know-maybe I'm reading too far into it. I just feel like I know Max the best out of everyone here..I wonder if he's homophobic sometimes...

Just the way he doesn't talk to me the same way, what if he thinks it's gross? I honestly didn't think I was gay-I mean what about my crush on Erin? I mean-I guess that could mean I'm bi? I don't know.

After that night I've thought about it quite a bit, and with the way Max is, he could've taken it a completely different way. I really hope not..I don't want our friendship to change over some dream.

I have been noticing more about him since though; like how his lips twitch when he represses a smirk, or his eyes glint when he gets a new idea.

I snap out of my train of thought, seeing the little devil in question walking toward the picnic table I'm sat at, tinkering with a small circuit. It's nothing special, but I need to test it's energy output on a smaller scale before bothering to make the real thing.

"Sup nerd," he greets, not looking up from the phone he clearly swiped from David, he didn't really say much else.

"Just working on some things," I responded, waiting for more. An idea of what to do today or some gossip he'd picked up, but he looked disinterested to say anything more. I shrugged and went back to my machine, suppressing a sigh.

I tend to kind of block out everything else when I'm focused, and after a few minutes I was back into the zone of my work. I didn't even notice an argumentative banter that was starting up between Max and Gwen just next to me. I didn't hear most of it, but was snapped out of it as I neared completion to the wiring.

"Oh you'll always be a little shit-you know that," Gwen rolled her eyes, "it's not like you know anything about dealing with kids anyway."

Max scoffed and rolled his eyes in return, "neither do you. At least I'd know what kids are like and shit."

Gwen spat something back about how he'd probably be some dropout in the future and they continued to argue. I think Max was trying to convince Gwen we don't need supervision and were fully capable to take care of ourselves. Though, I'm pretty sure he knew how useless the argument was.

I was a bit surprised when I noticed someone close by let out a small chuckle, and I looked up to see him, that time traveler.

Why is he back?

He said nothing, seemingly amused by Max and Gwen's "conversation". It appears he didn't want to disturb it.

"Why the fuck are you here-?" I blurted in confusion, his eyes and attention turning to me.

"Boredom perhaps," he smiled, resting his chin in his palm. He give me real Daniel vibes in that moment. "You all know so little about your lives and how they will go, it reminds me of what it was like when I was younger."

I frowned, rolling my eyes, "it's kinda creepy you keep coming back here you know?"

He just rolled his eyes back, amusement not dispersing. I scoffed, shaking my head as space kid also noticed they were here.
