for Maxxie - November 10

[will_you_see]

Alcuin typically did not go more than a few days without seeing Maxxie, either because they made some plans or because they simply ran into each other. Unlike Nikola, Maxxie was entirely undemanding of him, which was likely a reason why Alcuin liked him. Everything about their relationship was rather… carefree

It's only been a day. Less than a full day. Marshall stayed over the night before and everything's official, but Maxxie's first instinct when he sees Alcuin is still to go for a kiss. He remembers he can't before it even becomes an issue. Sitting on the beach, letting the sun dry him after a morning swim, he simply doesn't move, biting his lip as he grins at the approaching young man. Maybe it's only weird in his mind.

"Hey, Alcuin," he greets in return, cheerful as ever. "Just relaxing. How're you doing?"

"Quite well, just out for a run," said Alcuin, dropping onto the bench beside Maxxie. He leaned in to kiss his cheek.

A kiss on the cheek he can do, though maybe it's more chaste than usual. A perfunctory brush of his lips against his cheek, no lingering for more or reaching out to touch him as he usually would. Just a greeting between friends.

He really hadn't thought any of this out, and it's hitting him now. "Cool," he says. "Hey, so, um... Something happened last night."

It was what Alcuin did, having the ability to read people. He could tell right away that there was something wrong in the way that Maxxie kissed him.

His smile wavered just a touch. "Is something wrong?"
