Max felt nervous about this. He had to act like he loves (Y/N). Which he thinks he does already but won't admit it right now.

Max dressed his best; a plain black button down, short sleeve shirt, dark jeans, his nice and clean Nike shoes, and of course, his famous gold Z necklace. Max was a little sad he wasn't wearing a graphic tee with his favorite band or Undertale on it, but (Y/N) kindly asked him to dress nice as possible, and who wouldn't turn down someone like her?

Max read the address (Y/N) sent him on her first day of work, almost memorizing it. He got in his car and drove to the destination.

It was only 12:00 noon and Max finally arrived at (Y/N)'s house at 12:27. He got out of his car and knocked on (Y/N)'s door.

After the third knock no one answered, but faintly, Max heard (Y/N)'s voice.

"It's the one without a porch."

Max pressed his ear to the door and suddenly the door creaked open. It was opened before, maybe to let Max in. Max stumbled as the door opened and (Y/N) gasped turning around. Her face was painted with fear, but then relief came over her when she saw the familiar red head.

(Y/N) put her phone down going over to Max.

"Are you okay? You hurt?" (Y/N) asked as Max stood up straight. "I'm fine. I didn't know your door was opened." Max chuckled brushing his shirt. "Good thing you came. I thought you were running late." (Y/N) mentioned quickly.

Max lifted his head up and saw (Y/N)'s outfit. She wore a white, pink, and black flannel, leggings, and white converse. Her whole outfit fit (Y/N)'s body so well that Max thought (Y/N) looked amazing.

"Josh is gonna come in 15 minutes. He just wanted to talk and I just need you to be here for support." (Y/N) giggled tucking her hair behind her ear. Max shrugged looking around the decor.

(Y/N)'s house was small. All the rooms were openly connected. The living room was on one side and the kitchen on the other. Max went to the kitchen and took a seat next to the marble island.

"Are you hungry, do you want a drink?" (Y/N) came over across the island looking at Max. Max didn't want to sound needy so he shook his head.

"C'mon," (Y/N) sang as if she knew Max. "I have mac n' cheese." (Y/N) watched as Max's mouth curved into a smile. (Y/N) smirked in success as Max nodded like a little kid.

"I knew it." (Y/N) said more to herself as she went to the pantry to take out a box of mac n' cheese. "(Y/N), let me do it. You don't have to cook for me." Max interrupted as (Y/N) was already filling a pot with water.

(Y/N) let Max take the pot. She decided to watch Max as he happily made his favorite food. "Not to sound weird, but I do remember you always getting the mac n' cheese at lunch back in high school."

Max rolled his eyes, but (Y/N) didn't see because his back was facing her. "I can't believe I didn't recognize you when we met."

(Y/N) shrugged. "We never really talked back then." Max agreed as he poured the dried pasta into the water.

*knock knock knock*

"OH SHIT! HE'S HERE!" (Y/N) almost panicked. She was moving frantically trying to collect herself as she went to the door.

"How do I look?! Normal?!" (Y/N) spit out at Max who was stirring the macaroni. Max turned over his shoulder and scoffed. "(Y/N) you look good."

A second later Max caught onto his words. He tried to keep his realization subtle, and he thought it worked since he heard the door open. (Y/N) probably shrugged it off.

"Josh, hey. How are you?" (Y/N)'s voice echoed through the house. Max noticed her tone; calm and friendly.

"So this is your new house? It's nice!" Josh's voice came more clear to Max. Josh walked further into the house when he stopped behind Max.

"Yeah I really like it at lot. It's not too big, not too small." (Y/N)'s voice then came into Max's hearing distance.

(Y/N) saw Josh looking at the red head in front of the stove, making mac n' cheese.

"Oh, Max." (Y/N)'s voice rang in Max's ears. Max turned around after turning the burner a little lower.

Max saw Josh, tall, dark haired, and a little more toned than him. He could see why (Y/N) dated him. Max couldn't help but feel a little insecure. But he brushed that idea aside.

"Max, this is Josh. Josh, Max." (Y/N) introduced the two. Max walked over to (Y/N) and Josh. Josh stuck his hand out for Max to shake. He took it, and gave Josh a firm grip.

"Josh, this is my boyfriend." (Y/N) said, obviously lying, but Josh believed it. (Y/N) went over to Max's side.

(Y/N) looked up at Josh who was looking up and down at Max. (Y/N)'s eyes slightly widened. To keep Josh manipulated, (Y/N) took Max's hand and held it in her own.

Max played along, but in the back of his head he wished it was real.
