“Would you care for a coffee this morning, @VeneratedCurse?”

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

@VeneratedCurse / hahahaha. our chemistry is always here!

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“I’ve gathered. I hope you can forgive me.”

[𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔶 𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡.ᐟ @VeneratedCurse]

“Emmersyn. Rusty is an understatement.”

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“Sometimes.” He clears his throat.

“My. . communication skills are rusty. I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Max.”

[𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔶 𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡.ᐟ @VeneratedCurse]

There's a small smirk pulling at the corners of her lips.

"So he's not just a brute. He has manners." Em teases.

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“Maybe once. Twice.” He laughs.

“My apologies, my curiosity gets the best of me sometimes.”

[𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔶 𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡.ᐟ @VeneratedCurse]

"Didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to ask a woman that question?"

He shrugs.

“New to me. How old* are you?”

[𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔶 𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡.ᐟ @VeneratedCurse]

Emmersyn's head tilts to one side, a brow raised in confusion. "Smell new? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“You smell, @VeneratedCurse. . new.”

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

He walks to the car, keeping her close as the sounds erupted from behind them.

“We can do that. You’ll get to rest sooner if we do.” He agrees with a nod, opening the car door.

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

She’s nodding her head enthusiastically, taking his hand.

“Would you like to get the food to go and then head back to the hotel?” She asks, a soft smile appearing on her lips as she still heard the cheers and screaming from the stadium.

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

He stepped closer, extending a hand for her to take.

“Promise, it is.” He offered her a smile, nodding towards the exit. “Let’s go get you some food.”

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

She bit down on her lip as she finished getting ready and stepping back out of her dressing room.

“Oh, is it?” She commented, a yawn escaping her lips.

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“It’s in the works!” He called behind her, stopping with the security guards while he waited, catching up with casual conversation as he waited.

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

“Weren’t you supposed to make an outfit for me?” She teased, nodding to the request to get changed.

Moving from under his arm, she began walking to the dressing room and quickly changed.

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“It’s too beautiful to mess up.” He teases before pausing briefly to consider.

“Y’know, come to think of it. I haven’t seen the show enough,” he laughs, “c’mon, go get changed.”

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

“How many times have you seen this show?” She shook her head, smiling. She was starving.

“I doubt it would be the best idea to get food in this outfit.”

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“Sad I missed parts of it, but it was great to see even a piece of it.” He directs her to the backstage where security’s already waiting to arrange vehicles.

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

“Surprise, indeed.” Emma laughs, waving a little while longer before they’re both out of sight. A smile lighting up her face from the adrenaline from the show to Max showing up.

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

Surprise!

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

“whatcha gonna do about it, kid?”

[𝚁𝚑𝚎𝚝𝚝 𝚂𝚝. 𝙲𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚎 @KingOfDread]

“Call me a kid one more time!”

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

« least the outfits look coordinated, right?’

[Max Crawford. @LikeBloodstains]

on the opposite side of the country, he has the same images emailed to him with question marks attached. that alone makes him grumble; the questioning.

without leaving a response, he texts Emma. he’s almost certain she’s seen the photos by now, so he chooses to tease. ‘at »

[꧁ 𝕖𝕞𝕞𝕒 𝕕𝕒𝕟𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤 ꧂ @MYREDLlPS]

She’s flipping through the photos in a news article finding her and @LikeBloodstains. A soft groan emitting from her lips.
