5 parts Complete "That was the point of pet names, right? To call your partner something sweet that no one else can? Max had been calling Nugget 'Nugget' throughout his whole life, even now as they were dating. Did that have to.. change?
But what if it sounded.. weird coming out of his mouth? Was there something in hidden social standards that said he couldn't call his boyfriend the same pet name back? It would probably be best to not risk offending his Nugget like that, even if at best the idea of that sounds honestly ridiculous. And it had to be.
Right?"
OR
5 times Nugget calls Max by a pet name and one time Max finds one for Nugget.
