hey,  i'm not dying,  am i?   not too bad.   [they sucked in a breath through their teeth]   hurts like hell though.   don't touch it.

@hawkinscvnt            not okay..    /not/ fucking okay.   you—  how bad is it?  let me see.

@futiledemise             i’m thinking about it.   —what kind of pizza?

[meeting his gaze,  realization crept up onto them slowly,  their eyes widening]   oh my god..  you don't know,  do you?

@hawkinscvnt            i missed you too.  [eyebrows crease as he reciprocates their affection,   pulling away just slightly to scan their face]    hey,  what’s wrong?

[eyes welling up with tears,  they just shook their head,  hugging him close]   god,  i missed you.

@futiledemise     * heeheehaha 

@hawkinscvnt        * finally out of retirement

            good.   trust  that  i  would  know  if  the  thought  skimmed  any  piece  of  your  mind.     {  throughout  this  warning  her  tone  has  remained  even,   void of  emotion  while  keeping  her  intentions  blatant.   she  cares  for  max  as  though  she  is  her  twin,   never  having  to  vocalize  her  care  for  it  to  be  known.   protecting  that  feisty  terror  is  a  job  dahlia  takes  to  fiercely  and  refuses  to  fail  at  whenever  an  alternative  presents  itself.    she  keeps  their  gazes  locked  as  he  confirms  his  intent,   unblinking,   unwavering.  }     i  will  be  observing  as  long  as  needed  until  i  have  confirmed  i  can  trust  you.   my  nail  gun  has  driven  into  targets  with  less  reason  than  what  her  heartbreak  would  present  me  with.    if  we  are  in  mutual  understanding,   i  will  allow  this  to  be  your  first  y  only  warning.
            
            *    no  matter  what  happens ,,  protecting  her  with  my  life !!; 

@extranamuerte   ۪۪۫۫ᤢ ⣬    [ he felt it in his best interest not to interrupt what he (perceived) as a threat,opting instead to nod his head whenever necessary,listening attentively to every word that came from the other's mouth. he could understand the protectiveness,and was even grateful for it,knowing someone was looking out for max so well. however,it didn’t make being in this any less scarier. by the end he found himself nodding once more,eyes widened,a final confirmation that she had,in fact made herself clear. ]  yeah..crystal. you don’t— have to worry about that. i wouldn’t even.. (dream) of hurting max. i promise. so—none of (that) is gonna be necessary :')..you can trust me with her. okay ???
            
            / she said what she said. we have to protect max at all costs !!!!!!

            in  her  own  way.    assuming  you  care  for  max  even  partially  the  amount  you   ( should ),    you  will  understand  that  my  following  warning  is  that  of  the  concerned  kind.     {  her  words,   as  always,   come  quick  and  sharper  than  knives  while  she  watches  lucas  closely,   gauging  his  reaction.  }     listen  to  me  very,   very  carefully.   you  are  one  of  the  three  tolerable  hijos  in  your  little  group.   i  would  loathe  for  anything  to  happen  to  you.    with  that  in  mind  :  if  it  so  happens  that  she  arrives  to  me  in  distress  o  heartbreak  over  you,   i  will  be  swift  in  allowing  nature  to  take  it's  course  in  a  way  unfathomable  to  even  the  french  bourgeois  of  the  fourteenth  century.    have  i  made  myself  clear.
            
            *    lucas  ml ,,  i'm  sorry  she's  unhinged.   barely  clinging  to  those  hinges  by  her  nails.

/  GOD THEY DESERVE THE WORLDDDDD FR. lucas just wanted to be there for max and they just wanted their movie date   <//3

@-upthathill  /   I THINK AB IT SO MUCH AND IT WRECKS ME EVERYTIME. need them 2 just be okay </3

(  @antivecna  )
            
            yeah, i know that. of course i do.  [  max manages a subtle nod, despite the stiffness in her neck. she bites down on the inside of her cheek, feeling that familiar wave of guilt coming up in a way that makes her feel nauseous. ]   and  --  i don't expect you to trust my word on that. especially after all i did was push you away for so long. but i do know and i  ..  i'm still glad you're here.  (  ..  )    it's not like i have much other choice but to rely on you a little bit right now anyway. it's hard to get vending machine candy from this shitty bed.
            
            /  sorry this is late  :')   i love them sm

@-upthathill ᵎᵎ   . . .  ⠀ׂ   † ◌ [ despite the tone, lucas finds himself relieved to hear max’s sarcasm, some proof she remained the fiery redhead he'd had a crush on since forever. ]  just..making sure. and you know,if you (did) need something— whatever it was,you could tell me. right when you needed it. right?
            
            / yeah that sounds ab right!!! anything else wouldn’t even make any sense bc why would they not live happily ever after !!!

(  @antivecna  )     oh yeah, i'm great. bound to this hospital bed and stuck in casts but yeah, i've never been better.  [  she may be half the zoomer she used to be, but max's sarcasm is still very much in tact. ]    i've got doctors and nurses asking me that every five seconds, lucas. i'm fine.  (  ..  )    if you wanted to sneak some candy in here though, i don't think i'd mind that.
            
            /  they already got their happily ever after  !   they told me  !!   they went on their movie date and all is perfect for them  !!!

@BROKENWRATH 
            [ the voice breaking into his thoughts has his head lifting,  still hunched over— hands pressed bracing himself on his knees. ]   im okay man, im—   im good.  just gimme a sec.
