afterglow meet-ups

sweetheart #1: academic rivals to lovers | epistolary

They are academic rivals. That is how their classmates describe Max and Hades.

Maxwell is top of the class and is good at seatwork and exams, and he would describe Hades, who excels in recitation and debate, as his sweet nemesis.

Not until they were forced to work together as partners. They were told that the competition was over and that it was time for cooperation. However, the realization hits them: maybe they were not fighting each other but fighting themselves.

The war was over, but the meet-ups continued, holding a rose-colored feeling that will eventually end.
