Loveable Idiot (Max Russo x Reader)

Chapter 16

(Max's POV)

"Become an item- what!? Why would they... What did you tell them Y/N!?" I yelled.

"Nothing! They all think we like each other because of the way we act with each other." Y/N said. "Wait, I got an idea. Put your clothes on first."

She handed me the clothes and waited a few minutes before I came out the shower again. "BAILEY, CODY, ZACK, WOODY, LONDON, WE'RE BOTH AN ITEM. YOU GUYS CAN LET GO OF US NOW!"

"Nice try. We got a camera set up in there." Zack laughed.

"Camera? Is that even legal?" We both asked.

"We'll close the camera when yall wanna do your business." Bailey clarified. Thank goodness for that. It still feels awkward being watched over 24/7 though.

It was 7 pm and getting dark. What's Justin thinking right now? He's probably worried about us.

"You guys!" Y/N started banging on the door. "At least give us toothbrushes!"

2 toothbrushes slid down between the gap of the door and the floor. "Yall happy?"

Y/N and I used the toothbrushes and deciding on where to sleep.

"No, we're not sleeping in the tub." Y/N said.

"Look around, is there any comfy spot for us to lay in? I don't think so." I shook my head. "If you won't sleep in it, I will. It's still roomy in here."

"Fine, only because I don't wanna sleep on the floor." She climbed into the bath tub and laid down next to me. I tried to hug her but Y/N slapped my hand, saying she wasn't in the mood. But after she fell asleep, she started using my chest as her pillow. I stroked her head until I fell asleep.

We both woke up to a chicken that sounded like a clock. "Rise and shine, shine and rise. The cows need milking, so open you eyes!"

"Bailey, it's 5 in the morning. Please." Y/N mumbled.

"Ok, but your oatmeal is getting cold~" She sang.

I sat up to see the bowls of oatmeal on the sink counter. They weren't kidding when they said they would lock us in here.

"Max, maybe we have to use the..." Y/N lowered her voice. "The thing."

"What thing? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Magic." She whispered into my ear.

"There's a camera set up though. How do we do it without getting the consequences?"

"Wrap it in toilet paper? I don't..."

"Well, I'm not risking it. I don't wanna break the number one wi-"

"Don't. Say it."

"The number one rule. Dad talks about it too often it's hard to forget it."

"So what do you want us to do? Make out until they believe that we're dating?" She said jokingly. she couldn't help but laugh though.

"What? No!" I laughed with her. But if only she knew how much I wanted to say yes.

Time eventually passes. We sat down in the bath tub.

"What are we supposed to do? I can't be trapped here any longer. This was supposed to be..." Y/N's voice started becoming muffled as I zoned out.

I've seen these in romance novels and movies, they would do something like kiss the person to make them shut up.

"Justin's probably wondering where the hell we-" She froze when I kissed her on the cheek. Y/N slapped my face afterwards. 

"What? I needed you to shut up somehow." I covered my cheek Y/N slapped.

"Well you could just asked politely! If I could leave the room right now, I would."

"If you wanna leave the room, there's only one thing we could do."

"What?" I just stared at her for a moment. "Are you- no we're not."

"Well it's the only way."

"I can't believe I'm starting my first relationship in someone else's bathtub." She muttered.

"That's not enough proof! We need more evidence!" Zack said. "Kiss or something!"

"... thanks for jinxing it Y/N." That's when an idea hit me. "We're not gonna make out in a bathroom. I don't wanna make out at all with her again. I'd rather die."

It took her a few seconds why I emphasized the word 'again.' "You wouldn't miss the opportunity, dumbass. You confessed to me on top of a ferris wheel. On Christmas."

"Again? Confessed?" We heard murmuring until someone spoke to us again. "They've suffered enough, right? Ok we're letting you guys out now."

They unlocked the door and opened it. We were free at last!

"Now you poor people go out on a date. Of course we won't watch over it because... well it's a date. Ew." London shooed us away.

"Well, you heard what London said. Let's go." I smiled, holding both Y/N's hands.

"... and we're breaking up." She slid out and walked out the door.

"Wait for me!" I whined. I ran after her.
