3rd Person POV
*Two Days After Incident*
"So..how are you coping with all this?" Max questions as he shuffles closer to Y/n. Ever since the whole incident happened, Y/n had become more distant. She ate alone, stayed in her tent during camp activities and barely talked to anyone..Max included.
No response came from her except her sniffling and slow breathing. Y/n brung her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on them as she gazed at the silhouettes of the other Campers running and embracing their time outside on the other side of the tent.
"Babe.. You gotta talk to me. I-I know its hard but," Max softly sighs before wrapping an arm around Y/n's shaking shoulders, "But it's not healthy to keep all these thought bottled up. It's also not healthy to sit inside here all day."
There was a quite silence in the tent before Y/n mumbled a quiet " 'M just tired, Max.."and resting her head on Max's shoulder. Max took this opportunity to gently stroke her H/c hair gently.
She hummed in approval at his action of affection which brought a small smile to Max's face.
"I love you..to the fucking moon and back.." Max said, almost inaudible. "And remember that I'm here for you, Love."
A brief, exhausted laugh escaped Y/n's lips as she shifted to look up at him. Her E/c orbs full of affection and hurt, while her face was stained with dried tears.
"Max..I love you too. Now stop worrying about me and kiss me to sleep..please."
And that's exactly what Max did. Small pecks to her cheek, lips and down her neck as she zoned in and out of her trance until she fell freely and comfortably into a comforting dark abyss.

"-fore you wake her up."
"Maybe if I bite her she'll wake up faster."
"Nikki, you touch her and I will literally throw you out of this fucking tent."
Y/n's voice slurred as she lets out confused "What the fuck." as she comes to, eyes opening slowly to be greeted by, not just one person, but nearly the whole fucking camp in her tent.
How the Hell is this possible- Is her first thought.
"SHE'S AWAKE! OH THANK GOD! MY BABY! I'm also going to ignore your cursing too-" Y/n has no time to register the voice as she's engulfed in a soul tearing bear hug.
Then it hits her.
"Yes Dad. I'm awake." She rolls her eyes playfully and returns the hug. The warmth welcomes a nice euphoria into her body.
Suddenly, David is dragged away and replaced with Nikki standing in his place.
Nikki reveals a strong grin as she pulls something out of her pocket.
Y/n gives a puzzled look as Nikki presents her gift.
A small rock. Well, more specifically, a crystal.
"Wh- Nikki...This is beautiful..." Y/n says awestruck and takes the rock. It shimmers a soft and yet bright at the same time f/c.
She looks back up at Nikki, who still wears a Cheshire-like grin. "It represents your strength and beauty.. And ya said it was your favorite color! Sure I had to rough up some kids from the baby camp for it but it was worth it for you"
Y/n's face softens as she sets the crystal in her lap. "T-thank you..?"
Neil squeezes past everybody and weazles his way to Y/n's bed. In his hand, a rose.
Y/n lets out a small chuckle.
"A-all of these gifts..I'm not dead guys.."
"But you almost died, Y/n. I was..so worried.." Neil chokes out, his face tints a bit as he grasps Y/n's hand and sets the rose in her open palms. He glances over at Max who is giving his best 'Now back the fuck up' face and he obliges.
Everybody takes a moment to say anything. From I'm glad your okay, A magician needs an assistant to I oughta kill that sick bastard to I
We should buy a castle together, Y/n and lastly, Now how many times have I told you kids no cursing?
After about a couple of more hours, everybody files out of the tent for dinner.
Everyone except for Max.
"You set this whole thing up, huh?"
Y/n chuckles breathlessly as she gets out of bed and makes her way towards Max, whose standing in the corner of the tent with his hands stuffed into his hoodie pockets.
Max all but smirks before stalking towards Y/n.
They both meet in the middle of the tent.
"I just felt like you needed more proof that people care about you. And that it's okay to open up." Max reaches up to cup Y/n face softly.
"I love how sentimental you are Maxxy.." She swoons and rests her face against Max's palm.
"I'm always sentimental-"
"Don't lie to yourself, Baby."
"-when it comes to you."
Y/n heart stops for a second, proccesing his words as she slowly heats up.
"For fuck sakes.." Y/n mutters as she grips Max's hoodie and pulls him closer, crushing her lips against his..
She embraces the warmth.
The passion.
The kiss.
