    Summary

    "What did you just say?" Max asks in a flat voice and Charles gives him a strained smile.

    "I might have accidentally told my mom that I have a boyfriend and now she's demanding that I bring you home with me for the New Year. Actually, she said Christmas and New Year, but I told her that you were spending Christmas with your own family..."

    Summary

    “I can’t-” Charles pants, on the edge of hyperventilating again. He snatches his hand away from Max's throat. “I won’t choke you, you cannot ask that of me. I can’t do that to you, Max, I just can’t.”

    Oh.

    “That’s not what it is,” Max says, quick and desperate to not fuck this up. “I don’t want that, I just need-”

    Jesus, how does he explain all this, how does he put it into words?

    “I just want to fall apart for somebody,” he finally says, breath coming fast as he trembles.

     

    Max just wants intimacy. He's distrustful and self-protective, but god, he just wants to let himself open up and exist safely in someone else's hands.

    Summary

    He stops dead at the picture of Charles, shooting upright on the lounge, dislodging Sassy in the process. She hisses loudly at him and darts off, but Max isn’t concerned with that.

    Because Charles fucking Leclerc has cut his hair off.

    The photo is just a fan picture of Charles in a suit at a gala of some variety—an unimportant detail—and he looks great in the suit, crisp and blue, a black turtleneck underneath. Handsome, one might objectively describe it as. Sexy, a girl, gay, or Italian man would say. Not Max, of course, because he’s above that, but. Somebody else might describe it that way.

    The sides are just gone, shaved short and gone. The top is still as long and fluffy as ever, styled very nicely but the sides.

    The sides, Max laments.

    He looks stupid. It’s terrible. Max hates it with a fiery, visceral passion. He knows there is no way Pascale Leclerc did that to her son. She would have stopped him from looking like some kind of dapper, handsome—

    She would have stopped it, is the point.

    Maybe it’s just the lighting, Max reasons frantically.

    // Charles gets a haircut. Max has a meltdown.
