Author's Notes: Hey, this is my very first fanfic ever, so please be respectful :) I could't find enough Nev and Max fanfiction to read, so I decided with the help of my friend that I needed to write my own short fic. Anyways, thank you for reading and enjoy!
***
Nev was having a hard time concentrating on this week's Catfish episode. In fact, he was almost entirely concentrating on his "filmmaker buddy", Max. Max had always been Nev's best friend, and they had never had a real fight, they had only quarrelled. But when it was just the two of them alone in a hotel room like this, Nev began to question weather it was a friendship they had, or if it was something else.
Max sat in the corner of their hotel room, spinning on a swivel chair. he was holding his little black camera, filming as he spun in circles. He slowed himself to a stop and rotated the chair so he was facing Nev.
"What's wrong?" Max asked, turning the camera off.
Nev hesitated before saying, "I can't concentrate on this for much longer. I'm losing focus." He exhaled loudly. Max, getting up off the swivel chair, began to shuffle over to him. He plopped himself down on the edge of the bed next to Nev, so close that their thighs touched. Max leaned his shoulder into Nev's, trying to get a better look at the screen of the laptop Nev had been working on.
"Why don't we just try taking their Facebook picture and putting it in Google search like we did last time? That helped us."
"Okay." Nev said bluntly, getting lost into the thought of maybe, possibly, having feelings for Max in that way.
"Hey, are you okay?" Max said, putting his hand on Nev's back. Nev melted at his touch, soft and warm and familiar. "Yeah. Yes. I'm fine." He confirmed.
"If you say so..." Max said as he took the laptop from him and began typing away.
***That night, Nev dreamed of his Catfish story and how he had been tricked into falling in love online. It came back in flashes, and each one was in a sort of slow motion. Then he saw all the faces of the people whose hearts had been broken on the show, and then all the fakers, pretending to be people they weren't, lying and scheming. They were all yelling at him and he couldn't find the camera crew, he couldn't find Max, and he just kept yelling "Max!" but he just wasn't there.He woke in a heavy sweat, chest heaving, still yelling, "Max!". He threw a glance to his left, where Max slept soundly, his bed illuminated by the light of the moon through the window. Nev said a silent thanks to Max for being a heavy sleeper and glanced at the clock. It read 3:22 AM. He let out a sigh, knowing that there was no way he'd be able to fall back asleep after that. He pondered for a while on what he should do. He couldn't read, he had no books. He couldn't watch TV, the hotel had the worst television setup known to man. He couldn't work, the camera crew wasn't there to film it, and Max wasn't awake to use his little portable camera to film.
Nev decided there was only one thing left to do. He peeled of his sheets and sweaty undershirt so he was just wearing his boxers and slipped off his bed. He tiptoed towards Max's soft silhouette and lifted the sheets, wedging himself underneath them. He tugged the blanket over to his side, pulling Max along with it until Max's bare chest was fully pressed against Nev's back. After a minute or two, Max draped his arm around Nev's waist, making Nev's face go bright red in the dim light of the moon. They lay there for a while until Nev stopped blushing."Nev?" A groggy Max mumbled raspily. The color instantly returned to Nev's face, suddenly embarrassed by the situation of him obviosly having had come into his bed earlier in the night.
But instead of pulling away, Max just pulled Nev in closer, back and chest pressed together, assuring Nev in a sudden rush that Max was the one he loved and had always loved, and always would love for as long as their hearts were beating.***Hey, thanks for reading!
