RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

Chapter 49 - HIS SMILE ☺

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

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

Did I hear that right👂🏻? That’s not how things were supposed to go. Could it mean he feels something for me too ? Or... was he just toying with my emotions ? Max, don’t leave me in suspense like this.

Nath’s mind swirled with confusion, each word from Max replaying in his head as he tried to make sense of what had just happened. The interaction between them was so unexpected, leaving him caught between hope and uncertainty 💫.

His heart raced as he struggled to interpret the meaning behind Max’s words. Was there a deeper truth hidden in what he said—or was it nothing more than casual teasing ?

His thoughts were a chaotic tangle, emotions bubbling to the surface—confusion, anticipation, and a touch of fear. Nath couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant had shifted between them... but he didn’t know if it was real or just in his head.

Nath: Should we what 😶 ?

The noise of the event drowned out most of their conversation🗨, but Nath couldn’t ignore the weight behind Max’s words. Unsure if he had heard correctly, he instinctively leaned closer—desperate to confirm what he thought he just heard.

But before Max could respond, the MC interrupted, loudly thanking Max for his participation and urging him to leave the stage to make way for the other fans still waiting.

The abrupt interruption left Nath hanging, his curiosity now burning even stronger.

As Max stepped back, he turned to Nath with a smile—one that felt different 😊. Warmer. More genuine than anything Nath had ever seen from him. For a brief moment, the world blurred around them. That smile... it was as if Max had reached into Nath’s chest and wrapped his heart in warmth.

Nath could feel his face flush, his pulse quicken. Was he imagining it ? Or was there something more behind Max’s expression ? Nath’s thoughts spiraled, unsure if he was reading too much into the moment—or if Max’s smile held a truth he hadn’t yet spoken.

Nath stood frozen🚶🏻‍♂️, watching as Max moved offstage. The fleeting interaction had left him reeling, his emotions tangled in confusion and something deeper he couldn’t quite name. Did Max mean to leave him with this overwhelming feeling, or was it all unintentional ?

Nath couldn’t shake the image of that sweet smile 😊—a smile that lingered in his mind long after Max had gone. The rest of the event faded into the background as Nath’s thoughts fixated on one question: What exactly was Max trying to tell him ?

Nath’s heart pounded in his chest 💓, threatening to burst with every passing second. Argh ! Max shouldn’t do this to me with that smile of his! he thought, silently cursing the boy who had unknowingly given him a mini heart attack. If only he could stop time 🕰, just for a moment, to collect himself.

Outwardly, Nath managed to interact with other fans as if nothing had happened, but inside, he was a mess. His eyes betrayed him, stealing glances at Max, who now sat casually chatting with Owen. Every stolen moment felt like a spark, reigniting the chaos in his chest.

Inside Nath’s mind, it was a full-blown war ⚔️. His thoughts raced faster than he could keep up with, and each one hit him like a bullet. Max, without even trying, had become the trigger that kept pulling on Nath’s emotions 🔫—firing wave after wave of confusion, excitement, and something far more terrifying... hope. It wasn’t fair how easily Max had invaded his every thought, leaving him utterly defenseless against the turmoil inside.
