Mithross; I'll Protect You

Chapter 1: The First Day

Just pretend they didn't leave the offices.

Ross P.O.V

.......................

I wake up to another bleary day with the sounds of a door slamming and Tim screaming for mercy. Okay. This day might not be so boring after all. I rolled over to the right side of my bed and attempted to grab my phone but got my legs tangled in my sheets and I fell to the floor with a loud 'THUD.' As I struggled to untangle myself, I heard the door opening and I freed myself enough to see a person with fluffy ginger hair approach my bed. He looked down on me with those gorgeous chocolate coloured eyes. Wait, did I just think of him as gorgeous? No, I just said that his eyes were gorgeous. You can be friends with someone and think their eyes are the most beautiful, chocolaty, things you've ever seen... Wait... Am I falling for Max? My best friend for ten whole years? No... I'm straight. Probably just me being sleepy. I snapped out of my thoughts when Max crouched by my bed and said, "So, already managing to fail today Sloth?" Oh he did not just go there. I glared up at him through my cocoon of covers, and yelled in his face, "I'M NOT A SLOTH! What about you, Mad Max already? Chasing Tim around and probably breaking the doors again? Hypocrite!" He looked at me as I struggled to free myself from the suffocating embrace of the sheets. He looked shocked and a little... Hurt? Then he threw back his head and laughed. "Wow, Ross. I didn't think you could make that much noise." He reached out and helped me untangle my sheets. As soon as we finished I looked up at him and said, "Hey, thanks ­Mad Max." He tensed up and I bolted up and out the door to my bedroom past a very startled Tim and into the bathroom; the only room with a lock. I slammed the door and locked it, leaning my back against it and panting. He's so going to kill me later. I heard muffled footsteps outside the door and immediately leaned against the door incase Max tried to ram it open. Instead of the door breaking however, I heard him and Tim talking. I pressed my ear up against the door and waited.

Max P.O.V.

I watched as Ross with his fluffy hair disappear into the bathroom and slam the door behind him. Tim watched in amazement as I strolled down the hall. He looked at me in shock and said, "Why aren't you attempting to break down the door and kill Ross?"

"I'm tired." He looked skeptical, but kept walking. He turned back and knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey Ross." A muffled voice replied, "Yea?" Tim Tim smirked over in my direction. Crap. Had he been hanging out with Adam and Jess recently? Oh yeah. They had to film that cat hide and seek, and Tim had had to edit the video. Tim then said something that made me want to strangle him. "Ross, your boyfriend is waiting for you outside." I felt my face flush as red as my hair and I started at him. I chased him all the way down the stairs of the apartment and into his car, which he locked. I slammed my palms on the window a bit before giving up and going back inside to eat. Ross hadn't come out of the bathroom yet, but he had started to take a shower. I walked into our kitchen to pour myself some random cereal Tim Tim had left out. As I was eating, I unplugged my phone from it's charger and scrolled through Twitter. More Mithross stuff. God, I was getting tired of that crap. Ross came out of the bathroom fully dressed and toweling off his hair. I glanced at the clock. "Hurry up and eat Ross. We have to leave in, like, ten minutes. Plus we have to convince Tim that I won't hurt him so he lets us in the car." Ross threw his towel into the bathroom and looked down at his phone. "Are you going to hurt him?" He asked.

"Yeah." The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence after that. Neither of us brought up what had happened before. I finished eating and Ross grabbed an apple to eat in the car. I washed my bowl, put it away, grabbed my coat and then Ross and I left, locking the door behind us. We convinced Tim I wasn't going to attack him, and we got in the car. Tim had to bring in a new desktop and he had thought it was a good idea to put it in the front seat, so Ross and I had to sit in the back, slamming into each other whenever Tim Tim took a sharp turn. Which was frequently. So in other words, the car ride was insufferable.

(Time skip because I don't know how far to the offices)

As soon as Tim parked the car he tossed me the keys and told me to open up the door for him. I grabbed the keys and walked up the path to the door. Adam was waiting by the door looking in the window. I groaned. "Adam, how long have you been here?" I asked. He looked over and said, "Max! Just in time! Hey, can I..." I sighed. He forgot his keys. Again. I looked at him and shoved my hand in my pocket to grab the keys and said, "Adam, Next time I won't let you in." I unlocked the door and Adam rushed through and into the offices. I heard footsteps pounding the path behind me just as I was about to lock the door on Tim. Ross bolted through the door and slammed it shut behind him, careening into me in the process. He knocked me over and landed on his knees so he was straddling me between his legs. I looked up and saw his face only inches away from me. My cheeks burned and I saw a blush creeping up his cheeks as well. His eyes flitted around, distracted. Then they locked on me and lit up like a Christmas tree. He leaned in another inch and my blush crept to ears. He than opened his mouth and lowered his eyelids a bit and whispered to me in a low lust filled voice, "Hey..." I blushed harder as he paused mid sentence. Then he leaned in closer so that we were practically touching and whispered, "Mad Max." He lept off of me and scrambled up the stairs and into his office, leaving me lying on the floor with my emotions a wreck.
