"Max." i said with my tone just above a whisper.
he slightly nodded and gave me a faint smile. a smile that disappeared almost instantly, but somehow that one smile was so contagious. i couldn't help but stare into his glossy, hazel eyes. i snapped back into realization when the bell that indicates class is over rung.
"bye, max." i said whilst smiling.
i watched as he speed-walked into the lunch hall. there was something about him that caught my eye. he intrigued me. without thinking, i sprinted into the hall, my eyes scanning the whole place until my eyes met him. i walked my way over to the table he was sat at and poked his shoulder. no response.
"hello? max?" i looked over his shoulder to see him listening to twenty one pilots. humming the lyrics. i chuckled to myself.
he turned around almost immediately, took one of his earphones out and turned a dark crimson colour.
"oh i'm sorry, did i frighten you?" i said sympathetically.
he took out his phone and opened notes giggling.
no it's fine, i overreacted :)
i smiled.
"so, you do produce some sort of noise, not just all shrugs, sighs and smiles." i smirked.
"oi, mills". i heard a voice from behind me. his smile disappeared and he looked back down to the table playing with his fingers. i held his hand for comfort and looked up.
"what're you doing with the weirdo y/n." the voice said whilst laughing.
"well, ethan. that 'weirdo' is my friend. so if you would turn away that would be quite nice."
i looked back to max and noticed he was getting uncomfortable.
"pack your things up, i'm taking you home." i stated whilst getting up ready to leave.
he looked confused, but didn't doubt me. he put his headphones into his pocket and got up. our hands still intertwined.
"okay, quick lets goooo."
he looked down at our hands and blushed a little. somehow, it made me want to squeeze onto his hand even tighter.
"this is my house." i said with my hand on the door handle which meant i had to let go of his hand. i heard a sigh but i just shook it off.
"so, want anything to eat?" i asked him.
he just shrugged.
"i'm going to take that shrug as a yes." he giggled.
"okay so, we have skittles, m-" he grabbed the skittles.
"oh, you like them huh?"
he had a massive smile on his face and he nodded.
"okay, okay, NETFLIX TIMEEE." i said and jumped onto my bed.
he just awkwardly stood there looking up at the ceiling.
"cmon silly." i patted the space next to me. he crawled underneath the covers.
"your choice" i said, passing him the remote. he turned on stranger things and got comfy in the pillows.
i lay my head down onto his chest and cuddled up to him.
"max."
he looked down at me.
"why don't you speak?"
