Arthur: My clothes still hadn't dried, so I decided to sleep in my underwear for the night and get clothed tomorrow. I slid into the big leaf I pulled over Max, Selenia and Betameche. When I woke up, something didn't feel right. I looked around and noticed no one was behind me sleeping, I looked around and noticed Max was staring into the water.He was shirtless, and he looked real adorable, no, no, not adorable 'what is going on with me, this is just insane'.  This caught me off guard because Max was afraid of  water. I slowly crawled up to Max and put my hand on his bare shoulder. He didn't jump, he probably saw me crawling to him "hey" I said weakly. He smiled and turned to me "hi" I looked at him in the reflection of the water "it's raining and you're not freaking out". He mumbled something and I asked "What was that?" he smiled and said "nothing". "Come on, you can tell me" It took lot's of coaxing and promises not to get mad when he finally said "because of you". I was shocked "because of me? what do you mean?" I could see his cheeks burn red as he said "I thought about you, about how brave you are, It made me seem more happy to get my mind off of the water". I wasn't that sure what to say to him, what could I say to that? "Thanks, it means a lot to hear that" he smiled and nodded. He looked out onto the water, he shivered a bit so I wrapped my arms around him making him smile even more. I dragged a part of the big leaf around us, I felt him cuddle up against me, he let out a small yawned and soon I heard his soft adorable snores. 'Great, what do I do now?'.
