Well, this is an awkward homecoming...
narrows eyes Don't even think about lying your way out of this one. I can see right through your bullshit. So why don't you start explaining?
crosses arms I want the truth, and I want it now. Who the hell is this and why were they in your room?
...Look, Max, it's complicated. He's just...a friend. Nothing more.
steps forward, towering over Oliver A friend? Really? Because it looks an awful lot like more than just friendship to me.
Max saw Oliver shirtless his friend is taking him home after surgery for removing his cast from his broken leg and now it was healed scared what max might do
pauses, taking in the information Surgery, huh? And he was taking you home? Well, I guess that explains the intimate scene I walked in on.
you wanna see the cast? it's in my room
softens expression Look, Oliver, I'm sorry for barging in like that. I just... I care about you, okay? And seeing you like that, it caught me off guard.
sighs Look, I may not understand everything, but I trust you. If you say he's just a friend, then I believe you. Just...be careful, okay?
puts a hand on Oliver's shoulder Hey, I know it's been tough for you lately, but I'm here for you. No matter what happens, you've got my back.
smirks Now that we've got that settled, how about we order some pizza and catch up on some old movies? It's been too long since we've had a guys' night out.
sure goes get pizza and some drinks
grabs a couple of drinks and plops down on the couch So, spill it. What's been going on in your life lately?
starts making small talk about his day and random things he had experienced lately
leans back, taking a sip of his drink You know, Oliver, despite what happened earlier, I'm glad you have someone like that in your life.
mhm.. so hows your sister?
pauses, a look of sadness crossing his face Actually, there's something I need to tell you. My sister...she passed away a few months ago.
oh my..... I'm sorry max....
takes a deep breath Thank you, Oliver. It means a lot to me that you're here for me.
looks down, voice trembling Honestly, no. It's been hard... seeing her go like that. But talking about it with you helps.
Listen to me Max. You don't have to face this alone. I'm here for you, okay? We'll get through this together.
smiles weakly Thanks, Oliver. Your support means a lot to me. Let's take it one day at a time and help each other heal.
pats Oliver's back How about we go for a run tomorrow? Clear our heads and remember the good times. What do you say?
smirks Great! Let's meet at the park at 6 am sharp. We'll push ourselves to the limit and leave all our worries behind.
raises an eyebrow Too early for you? Come on, we used to be morning people. A little early exercise will do us good. Besides, it's not like you have a choice. You're in this with me now. 6 am sharp, or else I'll leave you behind.
smirks Oh, I would dare. And I'd make sure you regret it if you didn't show up. You know I always get what I want. See you tomorrow, bright and early.
cracks knuckles Tomorrow is going to be a hell of a workout. I expect you to give it your all, no slacking off.
smirks Good. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. We'll push ourselves to the limit and see who comes out on top.
puts his arm around Oliver's shoulder You ready for tomorrow's run? I know we can make each other better.
claps Oliver on the back Alright, enough talk. Let's get our bodies moving and our minds focused. We've got a lot to accomplish tomorrow.
