Day 7: Free Day

Day 7: Free day

I made a beach episode for goodbye (I promise, last story is sweet and lovely. Anyone who read previous ones deserves fluff and good vibes)

Thank you so much @femmescripter for doing this week with me, it was a lot of fun and still will be for me when I’ll read the rest of the fanfics you wrote! Also thank you again @shadowblaze001 for creating this wonderful week with great prompts. Also also good luck to our new meat in this week @king-charlieiii. we will watch your career with great interest!

Now storytime:

Summer heat came earlier than usually and that means earlier pool parties! Goof family was spending day with Petes in a backyard with big swimming pool.

PJ unlike the others was rather gloomy today. He came to Max in order to „have a talk”

”So where to start with… have you and Bradley ever had a weak time or something like that? You know, when you get annoyed or disinterested in each other?”

”Peej. You know us since yesterday? We almost broke up two times. Relationship crisis became our theme for a first year.”

”Yeah, but like after this whole time do you still have situasions like that?”

”PJ, what is going on? Are you and Mocha on a bad terms?”

”I don’t know. For some time now she gets irritated by everything and I feel like we’re drifting away.”

”Hey now. Have you asked what happened?”

”She always says ‚nothing’ or hums at me.”

”So it’s a tough one. Maybe she just doesn’t feel loved enough. When was the last time you told her she’s pretty or showed her something? I don’t see you making that often.”

”Why would I? Mocha knows she’s pretty.”

”Peej.” Max glared at friend with crossed arms

”What?”

„I guess we’ve found the problem. Of course she knows, but when you don’t hear it from your loved one you start doubting it.”

”I don’t think it works like that.”

”It works exactly like that.”

”Oh really?”

”Really. And I will show you the living proof of that. BRADLEY! COME HERE!”

Maximilians fiance started coming towards duo

”WHY are you yelling at me!?”

”Hi honey. You see, PJ has a little problem here. Can you show him what I mean when I say someone might know they are beautiful and still need approval?”

”Wha-„

”I’ll tell you the rest later.”

”You and your topics again. How to even show it?”

”Maybe on yourself and that piercing of yours?”

Bradley got red for a moment but quickly started explaining what Max had on mind.

”Well, I felt… really down one time… for a long time. Fuck, I can’t explain things like this. And well… it also felt awful that all of the couples around heard from each other what partner likes in them but I didn’t. I mean- I know we can’t do a lot of the things like ‚normal’ couples do, especially in public, what I mean is… even when I was telling Max what I like in him I myself felt like I don’t receive the same amount of attention, that Max is disinterested in me and I started doubting in myself. Basically I spiraled, other things happened and I got even worse - honestly I have no idea how you lasted with me through it” Bradley looked at his husband-to-be for a moment „-but it got better when Max once came to me at my worst and told me that he always liked my nipple and clavicle piercing and that I should show it more often near him. This… really made me feel better. So yes- telling someone they look good makes world a better place or something.”

”Thank you sweetie”

”No problem princess. Hope you’ll join us soon in the water. Now-” Bradley stretched himself „- I will go and do a sweet revenge on Pistol for that macaroon attack”

”Don’t worry PJ. It really works. Won’t solve everything but it’ll open a person up. Treat it like a first step okay?”

”I guess I’ll try”

On a next day Max got a message from Peej. The SMS read:

”It worked! Thanks Max!”

Maximilian couldn’t help but giggle

”Whats so funny Maxie?”

Bradley hanged himself on Max looking at his face

”Nothing, just PJ discovering art of sweetness and compliments”

”Good for him” Bradleys and Maxs eyes locked. Goof served a short kiss on the lips. Bradley made him taste much longer and stronger one. The strength however made the two fall on a couch.

”So… what nice thing you will tell?”

”I love you. I love your fluffy hair and your crooked teeth and your piercing. I love you whole”

”I love you too Bradly”

(Hi! Here’s me the author. Thank you for reading this short story/stories. It means a world to me! If you enjoyed it (or not- valid) tell me if you want to get a bit more from this story or ask me questions about it. Also I’d like to hear some advice/critique because I’m not native english speaker and never thought of writing something like at all. I did it only for Sasori week once and decided to cultivate my little tradition. Actually I never intended to make that story leave my head but here we are haha. I know that some dialogues are unnatural, because I had to infodump certain things, but what else you know. So again - questions, critique, continuation or not. It would be great to hear this all! <3)
