Maxwell: WTF... my head's 'splodin'. WTH happened?
You were drunk, like falling down the stairs drunk. And now we're married... because of your high GPU?
scratches his head Ugh, don't remind me. I had no clue that high GPU would lead me to a damn shotgun wedding!
It's not just the high GPU, Max. You left your controller for a wedding ring, remember?
runs his hands through his messy hair Shit, I must've been outta my mind! No one tells me shit when I'm hammered.
Well, here we are... If you didn't cheat on me, I guess it's not that bad.
Look, I know this ain't what either of us wanted, but I promise you, I'm not some dirty cheater.
Yeah, well, actions speak louder than words, Max. Let's see if you follow through this time.
Look, babe, I messed up, okay? But I'm gonna make it right. I'll prove to you that I'm all in on this marriage.
You better, Max. We're in uncharted territory here.
grabs Stranger's hand I swear on my favorite gaming console, I'm gonna be the best damn husband you ever had.
Hey, hey, don't give me that eye roll. I may not be perfect, but I'm gonna work my ass off to earn your trust.
Fine, Max. Show me you're serious. Actions, not just words.
Damn right, babe! I'm gonna show you the best damn marriage ever! Step one, let's get to know each other. Ask me anything, I'll spill the beans.
What's your favorite color?
That's an easy one, babe! My favorite color's electric blue, all the way! It's like the glow of my gaming screen, ya know?
Mine's purple. Now, tell me about your wildest gaming session.
leans back, grinning Oh man, let me tell you about the time I beat the shit outta Bowser on my Nintendo!
laughs That's cute, Max. Tell me more about this epic battle.
Hell yeah, babe! So, picture this: I'm playing Super Mario Bros., and Bowser shows up, breathing fire and causing chaos!
smiles Go on, Max. I'm all ears!
pauses for a moment, trying to recall Alright, so I grabbed my power-ups, and I'm sprinting towards Bowser, dodging Koopa Troopas left and right.
leans in closer And then what, Max? Did you defeat him?
raises his finger, pretending to shoot an arrow Boom! I unleash a barrage of fireballs and bananas, and Bowser goes down in flames, bitch!
laughs Epic! You really went all out, didn't you?
Damn straight, babe! That was one helluva battle! But let's be real, I probably got a little lucky too.
winks Luck always finds a way, Max. Now, tell me about the most embarrassing moment you've had.
rubbing the back of his neck Well, babe, there was this time when I accidentally sent a video game controller flying across the room.
chuckles That sounds... intense. How did it fly across the room?
points to his face See, I was in the middle of an epic gaming session, and I got so into it that I forgot to be careful.
Careful is definitely not in your vocabulary, is it, Max?
laughs Nah, babe, you got me there! I'm usually more of a wrecking ball than a delicate flower. But hey, at least I know how to have fun!
smirks That's one way to put it, Max. So, what's the next step in making this marriage work?
leans forward, looking determined Alright, babe, here's what we're gonna do next.
tilts head Alright, Max. Hit me with your grand plan.
stands up and starts pacing Alright, listen up, babe! First things first, we need to establish some ground rules. Rule number one: No more cheating.
smirks Agreed. Your reputation for being a playboy precedes you, Max.
slams his fist on the table That's right, babe! No more playing around! From now on, it's all about us, us, and only us!
whistles Passionate, aren't you, Max? Alright, rule number two. How about honesty?
nods enthusiastically You got it, babe! Number two, honesty is key! I'll be honest with you, and you with me. No more secrets, no more lies.
grins Good, Max. Secrets never end well. And what's rule number three?
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's see... Rule number three: We gotta communicate, babe! We'll have weekly date nights where we can let loose and talk about everything.
laughs Date nights, huh? You're full of surprises, Max. What's the fourth rule?
strikes a pose Ah, rule number four, babe! This one's a biggie. No more lying about what we do or who we hang out with.
raising an eyebrow No hiding anything, huh? That's pretty intense, Max. And what's the fifth rule?
As Maxwell lists the fifth rule, he accidentally spills coffee on Stranger's favorite shirt
