Platonic ( PriceField )

Max has been with Chloe for about four months already, and it's coming to that moment where they take that big 'step', that step being, getting more intimate with each other. Max wanted to be intimate but- nowhere further. Neck kisses and cuddles were fine, but anything below the waist just made her feel uncomfortable. She made her way down the stairs to the living room, as she did so, she saw that Chloe was sitting on the cough, clicking on the channel changer with aggression. She let out a huff, but as soon as our eyes connected, her expression changed right away as she patted the spot next to her on the couch. Max smiled with that shyness which Chloe adored most, she wrapped an arm around the young photographer and cradled her head against her shoulder. Max chuckled softly, getting more comfy. She was glad that Chloe was there with her, after the tornado blew over and they decided to get a place of their own, she felt at ease knowing that she could protect Chloe. She was her everything, her best friend, pirate mate, and most importantly, her partner in crime. Cringe. As sappy as it may sound, it was true. Ever since that day when she was dared to kiss her, she knew, she wouldn't hesitate to do just that. With a small, dreamy sigh, she ran her fingers through those fluffy blue locks, smirking at her girlfriends reaction. Chloe didn't like it when her hair was touched, because it would always turn into a big knotty mess afterwards, plus it was such a pain in the ass to tame; that being the reason for her always keeping it covered. Chloe glared at her with a hint of annoyance, and max glared back with a small chuckle, "You know I can't resist, it's so fluffy, like a rabbit." Max was known to throw cheesy comments around, but Chloe found it adorable, even though max would always catch herself for it and try to correct herself. The best part about her doing that though is that Chloe would give her a kiss or two just to shut her up. At this point, Chloe did just that, taking her breath away as she went to take control, pecking the corners of her lips and resting on her lap, entangling her fingers in her chestnut hair. Now when Chloe did things like this, it drove max mad, but still, she remembered that she had her boundaries, she had to tell Chloe at some point, or things like this would make her uncomfortable if they went a bit far, she didn't want to worry Chloe. As she felt a little more confident, max began to kiss back, her face heating up with embarrassment at the clumsiness that couldn't top what Chloe did. Her girlfriend was skilled, as if she had studied the subject so she could be prepared for the elusive moment. "Ngh, Chloe.." Max breathed, panting as she tried to catch her breath. She squirmed a bit as she tried to give Chloe the subtle hint, lightly pressing on her stomach to push her back before she tried to proceed further. Chloe looked are her with confusion in those lust-filled eyes. "What's wrong, Max..? Did I do something wrong?" Max tapped her index fingers together, bashfully biting her lip, she didn't want this but, she didn't want to hurt Chloe's feelings either. "Just.. N-Nowhere below the waist.." Now Chloe didn't understand this, she would have thought that her girlfriend would be okay with things like this, she snapped out of it and looked into her eyes with worry. "Is everything alright? You can tell me.." Max sighed, looking up at her with shame. "I just don't think I can do.. well this." She gestured between the two of them. Chloe raised her eyebrows with confusion, "Are you.. breaking up with me..?" Her voice cracked with hurt, looking at Max with broken eyes, she figured that Max was mad at her, so she got up to make her leave. As she did so, Max grasped onto her wrist, "No Chloe.. I love you with my all.. I would never.. It's just that.. I'm just not attracted to you in you know.. that way." She awkwardly scratched the back of her neck. Now Chloe didn't understand this at first, "I just thought that after all of this time.. you would be up for this.. So I'm guessing that you're straight then, huh?" Max sighed softly, she still doesn't get it. "Yeah.. sure, I'm 'straight as an arrow.' Kidding, I just.. It's really hard to explain but. I'm biromantic, which means I'd only like to have a platonic relationship, rather than a relationship that leads up to.. you know, coitus. Do you understand now..?" She tried to go in depth, using the technical term so she didn't have to flat-out say it." Chloe groaned, "Barely. Help me out here. So, let me just clarify this. You.. don't want to.. 'fool around', like ever?" Max nodded slowly, intertwining their fingers. "Yeah.. but that still doesn't mean snuggling is off the table, I have my boundaries but.. Anywhere that isn't below the waist is fine, I was just.. so scared of what you would think.." She trailed off, smiling sadly. "I was afraid of losing you.." Chloe chuckled, leaning in to give her a small peck on the cheek, "At this point, you're stuck with me, forever. I'm not going anywhere, trust me."
