Chloe strips without hesitation, and jumps into the pool. When she comes back up—skin glistening and undergarments clinging—Max wonders why it's suddenly so warm.
"C'mon, Max! Don't you want to get wet?"
"I already am." She replies, still staring.
The silence hangs in the air for several seconds before her brain catches up. When it, does she throws out her hand.
"C'mon, Max! Don't you—"
Without even bothering to undress, she plunges into the water.
I'd like to thank Reddit user Plantfieldunite, without whom I would not have this new 'Max makes freudian slips about her attraction to Chloe and has to frequently rewind to avoid embarrassment' headcanon. There's an image in particular that they posted on the life is strange subreddit which led me to this, but I can't link that here. If you really want to see it, the link to it is in the author's notes at the end of the first chapter on ao3.
