Max belongs to @hotpinkmoon !
You were tired. So tired.
You knew what you signed up for when you got into a relationship with Max.
The attention. The stares. The parties.
But you had to admit...even you had your limits when it came to all the excitement. I mean come on. It seemed like the entire town was interested in you and Max's life.
And also the fact that some of Max's friends would disappear if they got to close to you-
And how you felt like someone was always watching you-
Although to be fair, you did try to see who it was one time. And was promptly embarrassed when it was just another one of Max's fans curious about who he was dating.
Am I just overthinking?
No but... it still didn't explain how Max always managed to find you somehow.
Including that time you specifically hid in a trash bin because you know he doesn't like dirty things.
And somehow he had a reliable excuse for all those 'coincidences' ...including the trash bin thing.
Though he had a pretty convincing confused expression when his friend lifted the trash bin lid to throw something away- and there you were.
Sitting in the trash bin.
Which totally was not at all embarrassing in any way.
Okay... maybe you were overreacting.
But still!
Overreacting or not, you were tired of all the constant attention. The almost complete lack of personal or other-friends time.
"Max...I can't to this anymore. I need my beauty sleep. A fan of yours broke into my apartment one time!" You exasperated, annoyed with this insanity and losing your mind.
Max cocked his eyebrow at you, confusion spreading on his face before a small huff of laughter escaped his pretty lips.
Wait- stop focusing on how pretty he is!
"That, don't worry cutie- was me." Max said, grinning smugly. Pouting a bit when he noticed how you were glaring daggers at him. But his smile quickly returned as he rolled his eyes with a playful smirk, "We're dating, Y/n. It's normal to miss your lover sometimes. I just dropped in to check on you." The words rolled smoothly off his tongue.
Still, relentless, you looked him firmly in the eyes.
"Well we aren't dating anymore."
Max paused a bit at this for a moment.
Did his mask finally break? Was he going to have a serious conversation for once?
"That's a pretty interesting way to propose. But I mean... I'm not complaining~"
The atmosphere was completely shattered by Max's words.
"Y.. You.. that's not what... I'm going to throw you!" You fumed loudly, some of the people in the cafe the ones who weren't 'subtly' staring before looking over at you.
Max's grin grew. And you instantly regretted your choice of words.
"Yeah? Well you better be rough then. Oh- but save that for the bedroom, cutie. I like attention... but that's for my eyes only." Max replied quickly, in a bantering tone.
"AUGHHHH" Your frustrated scream filled the space between you and Max and those who were peeping in on your conversation
Yet despite all that, still falling on deaf ears.
Whispers on how you and Max were a silly couple followed you out of the coffee shop.
Max smugly waving goodbye with one hand and pointing to his ring finger with the other.

do you have any culture/traditions/ethnicity hcs for the fab four? (if you couldnt tell, this is my favorite thing to come up with :] )
yeah im gonna be so incredibly honest, culture and ethnicity is probably the most inconsistent thing among my versions of the four and i really only have a few solid ideas abt them. like jet is always black in my brain, a lot of the times afro-latino specifically, and i tend to see ghoul as latino also, but i havent really worked out the specifics there any further than that. party and kobra are the most inconsistent in my mind tho, and their ethnicity changes pretty consistently like. they are liquid in my brain and i havent pinned down any solid ideas for them yet yk? ig it doesnt really help that i have like eight different versions of my own canon going in my brain at all times lol maybe if i end up mapping out the specifics of each universe it will be easier for me to lay out my unfinished ideas for each
as for traditions and cultural stuff and things like that, im sort of in the same boat there. ive got a few broad concepts in my head that i have yet to iron out the details of, and these broader ideas are more abt the specific cultures within the zones/city/underground than relating to any real world stuff. like, in the city for example, i feel like bli basically erases every sense of cultural identity and individuality bc, well, its bli. they hate beauty and they hate the idea of differing wirld views and traditions, and they hate it when people value anything other than working hard and "earning their place in their perfect society!"
and so, in the zones, i definitely feel like theres a sizable movement of joys who combat bli's perspective on pre-war cultures by learning all they can about their heritage and reviving old cultural traditions and basically rebelling through connecting with their roots. but again, thats really where my thoughts on this topic end bc i do not have enough knowledge abt all these individual culture that exist to really say how i think theyd be represented in the zones or how they would mesh with zone culture itself. i do thunk it would absolutely have an impact of zone culture as a whole, but i just dont know the specific effects of that impact would be bc, again, this is not something i have researched heavily yet or begun fully fleshing out
i will say that this is why i admire you and ur work and ur version of this universe so much!!! you have such amazing ideas abt the way real world cultures and zone culture would intersect, and i fucking love hearing you talk abt all the traditions and stuff there are in the desert bc i think it is so so so fucking cool and i wish i had the brain to think of stuff like that lol
