So much better than never have I ever...

[revolvings]

The buzz was settling in smooth along Max's skin, and he was feeling absolutely no pain right now. It was enough that he and Michael were in this texting discussion, but the topic was absolutely insane. Having walked the short distance over to where Michael was staying currently, Max knocked on the door after the last text came back. He felt terrible for giving his brother such a warped view of him. At least he came bearing gifts. A bottle of tequila and a couple of shot glasses, along with a bag of already cut limes. All Michael had to do was supply the salt.

"Wow. I’m flattered. You really know how to make a man feel special.

Who said I wasn’t drinking? I just wasn’t planning on drinking drinking but fuck it. You’re right we’ve been at odds pushing against each other for too long. We’re idiots. I was just so fucked up back then.

You got your dick pierced?! And both your…Ok I take it back. I’m vanilla. You out freak me. I’m scared to find out what else I don’t know.

You go. I’m processing."

Yeah. You’re right. Again. You’re so annoying.

What do you mean you can’t compete with Alex? Who says it’s a competition? I don’t know when, or if Alex is coming back. And yeah, it messes me up every single time he leaves. I don’t think I’m good for him. I mess it up every time. I’m too damaged or something or maybe I was meant for something, someone else. And Max I’m only looking at you, only you. How can I look at anyone else?

Besides, you’re the one with a longer list of exes and I certainly can’t compete with any of them.

Michael, there's no competition between you and anyone else I ever dated. You outweigh them all. You are the only person I see, and the only one I'll ever see.

I don't know, I guess because you two almost got married. It's scary. It's not easy to be with a guy who knew the guy he was gonna marry for so long. Yeah, I guess it could be the same with Liz and I. She was so not the one for me though and I knew it for a long time. I'm too stubborn though.

I have 2 ex's. I slept around like you did.

[cosmiccowboy]

I get it. Alex and I have a lot of history. Good and bad. I thought we were soulmates. I know go ahead and laugh. But you’re not the only stubborn one. And there’s no one I have more history with than you. You’re my past, my present, and my future. I hope.

Damn. I guess I just assumed that because you’re such a catch and people are usually falling in love with you left and right that you had more exes.

[revolvings]

Why would I laugh. I thought Liz and I were meant to be since gradeschool. You know that. Alright. As long as you keep reminding me, I'll keep reminding you and we will be together and nothing will come between us. Yes, I'm your future. Don't you doubt it.

A few people fell in love, like 2. Different people from the ones I dated. Maybe now you can be my number 3.

I love you Michael Guerin. In case I haven't told you a few times. It's always good to see it in writing.

[cosmiccowboy]

You have a deal.

Ooh. Number 3. I’ve never been someone’s number 3 before. I feel special.

I love you too, Max. I hope you know that.

[revolvings]

You're my number one, babe. Always.

I'm starting to believe it. I may have to pinch myself a few more times, and you may have to say it a few more times.

[cosmiccowboy]

Haha. Better be.

I’ll say it as many times as you need to hear it. I haven’t always been great at telling you or showing you for that matter. I’ll do better.

[revolvings]

We can both do better from here on out. I think we have plenty reason to now.
