RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

CHAPTER 25 - SUNRISE WITH YOU ⛅

FYI - Start from now on, I will not use any of MAXNAT photo for this Fanfic because it's hard to find a photo to suit the situation.

*************************************************

The two of them are alone on the beach, watching the sunrise.

Nath: The sunrise is beautiful, isn't it ☺ ?

Max: Well, I won't lie. Yes, it's beautiful. After answering Nath, Max continues sipping his hot coffee.

Nath chuckles after hearing Max's response. Finally, Max knows how to speak with good intonation.

Nath: Do you like the coffee I made ? I'm not a coffee expert.

Max: Hmm… the coffee isn’t that bad for someone who isn't an expert. I can still drink it 😌. Not too bad.

Nath: Not too bad ? Is that a compliment ☺ ?

Max coughs upon hearing the word “ Compliment,” wondering if he really just praised that little devil.

Max starts battling with his thoughts. Did those words really come out of his mouth ? Was “ Not Too Bad ” actually a compliment ? Or did Nath just twist his words to make it sound like one ?

Max is lost in thought until Nath’s voice pulls him back to reality.

Nath: Do you know the hidden meaning behind “ The sunrise is beautiful, isn't it ☺ ? ”

Max: What ? It has a hidden meaning ?

Nath: Yes… Do you want to know what it means ?

Max: I don’t want to know 🙂. “ Acts uninterested while spreading blueberry jam on his bread ”

Max is afraid that every word coming from Nath's mouth is a dangerous trap. Nath’s words are like poison—once they seep into your system, the only way out is to find the antidote. If you can’t… well, then, death is the answer.

Nath: I love you, and I don’t want you to leave me ☺.

Nath says those words while gazing at the beautiful sunrise. It has been a long time since he last enjoyed such a sight.

The last time Nath went to the beach was when he was a child. It was a family trip, but only for business. While his family handled work, he played on the beach with his babysitter.

Max stops spreading the jam, holding the bread in his left hand. He freezes, trying to process what Nath just said. What did that mean ? Did he hear wrong ?

Max: What did you just say ? LOVE ?

Nath looks at Max and smiles ☺.

Nath: Yes, love ☺.

Did Nath just confess ? He didn't mishear it, right ? Was the little devil trying to mess with him ? With a nervous voice, Max tries to confirm it, just in case he misinterpreted things.

Max: What game are you trying to play here 🙂 ?

Nath: What game ? “ Looks at Max, confused ”

Max: The word “ LOVE ” you just said. You know how dangerous that word is 🙂.

Nath: But it’s not wrong for me to say it. Why do you sound so angry ?

Max: Don’t you realize ? If someone else heard you, they would misunderstand and think you’re in love with them 🙂.

Nath: But I just—

Nath doesn't get to finish his sentence because Max interrupts him.

Max: Aren’t you cruel for playing with someone's heart ? Giving people false hope ? You’re insane.

Nath: Max, can you calm down ? Why are you so angry ? Did I say something wrong?

Max: You’re seriously asking me that ? Now you're acting like you didn’t just say something ridiculous ? 🙂

Nath: I was just explaining the meaning behind “ The sunrise is beautiful, isn't it ? ” What's wrong with that ?

Max: What ? You weren’t—

At that moment, Max realizes his mistake. He jumped to conclusions again. He accused Nath of something unreasonable. Nath wasn't trying to play with his feelings; he was just explaining the quote’s meaning.

Nath: The quote I said doesn’t refer to anyone in particular. It’s meant for someone afraid of losing the person they truly love. For example, if you love someone and don’t want them to leave…

Max sits in silence, feeling stupid for his unnecessary accusation.

Nath: Sometimes, the way I speak causes confusion. People misunderstand and call me rude, even when I speak gently.

Max: Ohhh. “ Pretends to cough before taking another sip of coffee. He has no idea how to react to his own behavior ”

Nath: How did you feel when you heard me say, “ I love you ? ”

Max: Nothing. “ Lying is the best way to escape Nath’s endless questioning ”

Nath: Really ? But earlier, you sounded angry. Did you think I was confessing to you 😌 ?

Max: You’re too full of yourself 🙂.

Nath: Look at me. Are you avoiding eye contact ?

Max struggles to answer, but he eventually looks Nath straight in the eyes. He doesn’t want Nath to think he’s avoiding him. If he does… it might mean he actually has feelings for Nath.

Max’s unexpected staring contest with Nath makes his own heart race. Nath’s eyes are stunning. How can someone’s eyes sparkle like that ? Especially when he smiles… Nath’s eyes are even more beautiful than the sunrise he just admired.

Nath chuckles and leans in slightly.

Nath: How do you feel seeing me up close like this ? “ Moves closer to Max ”

Max tries to keep his cool, but he finally looks away. He knows engaging with Nath any further will only get him trapped in the little devil’s mind games. The more he plays along… the deeper he falls.

“ Max, what do you mean by  FALL ? You mean FALLING IN LOVE ? — Sincerely, the author 🌼 ”

Nath: You’re avoiding my eyes again. I guess my face isn’t handsome enough to look at. Everyone must be lying when they say I have a good-looking face.

Max: You think just because people say you’re attractive, I’m going to compliment you too ? Don’t be too full of yourself. There are millions of people in the world who are more handsome than you 😌.

Nath: You’re right. There are millions of people more handsome than me. And one of them is you ☺.

Max was being sarcastic, yet Nath twisted his words, turning them into a compliment. That alone drives Max insane. Why isn’t Nath reacting negatively ? Why is he saying all these nice things ?

Max wonders—could the little devil really just be playing another mind game with him ?
