This is a one shot idea that came to me at 4am 😅 as much as I liked their first night together I feel like we never really got those important conversations that I feel like are very much needed for a relationship. So on a lazy evening Max and Helen Reminisce about that first night together and hopefully fill in some missing gaps.
Timeframe: After 4x18, Helen has gained her speech back, but before she goes back to London..
Title from: To Build a Home Song by The Cinematic Orchestra because This is Us left me in my feels...😅🥰
"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?"
I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment.
"Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it."
I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me.
