Max left the apartment at 9:30 to go to the airport which was a one hour car drive. He wore his usual attire, but this time, with a smile on his face. He can't wait to see (Y/N).

(Y/N) was still on the plane. Two more hours in the metal tube and she's back in Washington. She can't wait to see the guys again.

Max was on the road by himself in his car catching a little traffic on the highway.

"Fuck." He muttered sitting back in seat when the lanes flooded with cars.

"You guys know the plan right? Don't say ANYTHING to Max or (Y/N)." Adam announced with the whole SkyMedia crew in one circle in the meeting lounge.

"We all know Max and (Y/N) probably, 95%, definitely like each other and it's not really going anywhere. So that's what we're here for. Besides the fact that it's a work day." Adam continued with a little chuckle. Then he turned to Em.

"Here's the stuff." Em put a bag on the table filled with streamers, banners, and glitter. In her other hand, she held why looked like 30 balloons in (Y/N)'s favorite colors.

"Are we gonna do this or what??" Red asked rhetorically while standing up. He went to the bag and took out the banner.

Everyone walked out of the meeting lounge and ran to different places of the building.

Red and Em were putting up the banner that Em got custom made to say "Welcome Back (Y/N)!!". Adam and Ethan were throwing glitter everywhere (which will be a pain to clean up). Barney and Tim were throwing streamers and taping them to the walls, and Jordan and Ross were tying balloons to chairs and computers.

The whole team was acting like beavers building their dam, and they were doing it quick. Only 2 hours remain and everyone was determined to get the whole building decorated.

After the really long agonizing traffic time and trying to find a place to park, Max finally made it. He was beyond excited at this point. He tried not to smile too much.

Entering the airport, Max opened his phone to check the message (Y/N) sent him, telling him which terminal she's in. Max then turned off his phone and headed to the destination.

Max tried to hurry to not keep (Y/N) waiting. He pushed himself through crowds and luggage almost everyone held. In 5 minutes tops, he finally made it to the terminal.

On his tippy toes, Max searched for (Y/N). He scanned all the unfamiliar faces with no luck. Back on his feet, Max huffed.

"Max!!"

That voice. It was so familiar Max could distinguish it in a second.

He turned around and saw the beauty in front of him. She was jogging with her single luggage to Max with great excitement.

Max, himself, jumped with joy and ran to (Y/N), faster than she was jogging.

They closed the distance between them with a hug so hard the impact was sort of loud.

(Y/N) giggled with joy as Max held her against his chest.

"It's so nice to see you again." Max's voice sounded like he found his missing sibling.

"You too, Max. I really missed you and the guys." (Y/N) replied, her head buried in Max's chest.

"How was your flight?" "Good. No delays or anything." "That's good."

Max and (Y/N) gave small talk to each other, but Max needed to bring (Y/N) back to the offices because he was told to.

"Also, I think the guys wanna see you at the offices. Is that okay?" Max said as he started to lead (Y/N) out of the airport. (Y/N) smiled with joy nodding.

"Of course!! I have pictures of when you were young to show them." (Y/N) then answered deviously. Max's eyes widened.

"You don't." Max gasped.

"Oh, but I do."
