Hey guys! this is my first Life Is Strange fic so be nice or not whatever you want XD
Max sighed as she walked back to her dorm, she had taken four tests and all she wanted to do was sleep. She was just inches away from her room when Kate ran up behind her.
"Hey Max! So how do you think you did on the photography test?" Kate asked, she was the sweetest person at Blackwell.
"Hey Kate, I think I at least got a C. How about you?"
"I'm pretty sure I got an A!"
"That's great Kate! Can we talk about this later? I was kinda swamped all day and kinda wanna crash."
"I don't think you'll be crashing tonight, Max. Word on the street is Chloe is going to ask you out." Dana said walking up to Kate and Max.
"Word on the street? What street have you been on?" Max asked trying not to show her excitement. After she kissed Chloe in her room the punk had been extremely flirty with her.
"I was at Justin's the other day and Chloe was there. Max I'm not kidding she never stopped talking about you."
"Dana, that doesn't mean she's going to ask me on a date."
"Max she's totally going to ask-."
Their conversation stopped when Max's phone rang, Dana quickly grabbed it and looked at the caller ID. "MAX YOUR BAE IS CALLING YOU!" Dana screamed as she accepted the call, she quickly tossed the phone back to Max before grabbing Kate by the arm and dragging her down the hall. Max quickly put the phone up to her ear and took a deep breath as she walked into her room.
"Maxi pad! What's going on?"
"N-nothing Chloe, what's going on with you?"
"Same, listen I was wondering if you wanna hang out tonight?" Max's heart started beating faster, of course she wanted to.
"Yeah, what do you want to do?"
"It's a surprise, how about I come get you at seven?"
'She already made plans' Max's heart melted, Chloe never planned anything.
"Y-yeah, seven sounds great."
"Awesome! I'll see you in a little bit."
"Not if I see you first." 'Really Max?'
"You're such a nerd, Max. I'll see you at seven, later."
"L-later."
Max hung up and fell onto her bed, she was so excited for the date. When they were younger Chloe and Max would always cuddle when they watched movies and even then Max got butterflies in her stomach. Max decided to take a nap before the date, she tossed her phone on the couch across the room before maxing herself comfortable in bed.
At 6:30 Max's phone alarm went off, if it wasn't for her date with Chloe she could have easily slept until noon the next afternoon. She rolled off the bed and slowly crawled over to her closet, 'better wear something other than pajamas on this date' Max thought grabbing jeans, a Guns n' Roses shirt she had stolen one night at Chloe's and a flannel that she also stolen from Chloe. Once she changed Max made her way out to the parking lot, while she waited she texted Chloe.
Max: I'm out in the parking lot, get here soon or I'll leave XD
Chloe: I'm like two minutes away and NO EMOJI
Right on queue Chloe pulled up beside Max in her truck. Once Max was in and the door was closed Chloe took off down the road. Max placed her hand on the unoccupied middle seat hoping the punk would hold her hand.
"You look nice, Max."
"Oh- thanks Chloe. You don't look half bad yourself."
"I tried for you, Caulfield." Chloe gave the brunette beside her a soft smile as she held Max's hand. Max watched as their fingers tangled together and their thumbs traced over each other. Chloe pulled into Two Whales parking lot, she quickly jumped out and helped Max out. They walked into the diner hand-in-hand, Chloe lead the photographer over to their 'special' booth. There wasn't anything really special about the booth; they had just always sat there on early Saturday mornings when Joyce was working.
"Chloe, Max!" Joyce chirped as she sat down two menus
"What are you two doing here?"
"Getting dinner, mom." Chloe mumbled, it was obvious she didn't want her mother knowing she was on a date with her bestfriend of fifteen years.
"Max, why are you friends with my daughter?"
"That's a good question, Joyce. Why am I friends with you, Chloe?"
"Because you love me." Chloe said winking at Max while simultaneously playing footsie under the table.
"You two really do love each other, I'm so glad you're talking again. Now decide what you want and I'll be back in a few to get your orders." Joyce walked away to attended one of the men sitting at the counter.
"Wanna get the usual?" Chloe asked putting her menu down on the table and starring at Max.
"Yeah, burgers and fries are always good." Max noticed Chloe was staring at her and immediately started to blush.
"You're fucking adorable, Mad Max."
"Chloe stop it." Max looked down doing all she could to not make eye contact and blush even more.
"Alright, what do you two want?" Joyce asked looking down at the blushing Max.
"Two burgers and fries, mom."
"Alright, I'll be back soon." Joyce spun around and walked back to the kitchen.
Chloe sat awkwardly across from Max, she had never been on a proper date and she had no idea what to say. "How was school?" the punk asked while trying to hide her growing smile, Max was still blushing extremely hard. "It was long, I took so many tests." Max finally looked up and made eye contact with her punk. "Man, I'm glad I got kicked out when I did." Chloe leaned back putting her arms behind her head and laughed. Max giggled, she tried to imagine what it would be like to go to school with Chloe again. She also wondered what it would be like being Chloe's official girlfriend.
"How was it guys?" Joyce asked collecting Max and Chloe's plates..
"It was so good, Joyce. Just like I remembered."
"Well thank you Max. So Chloe, are you putting this on your tab or are you actually paying?"
"I am actually paying, mother." Chloe handed her mom ten dollars before escorting Max out of the diner.
"It's so beautiful out tonight, Chloe." Max said leaning against Chloe and wrapping her arm around the punk's arm.
"Yeah it is, wanna go for a walk on the beach?"
"Of course!" Max chirped as they crossed the road and made their way down to the beach.
As they made it further down the beach Max let go of Chloe's arm figuring she was being too clingy.
"Hey Bat Max?" Chloe asked looking over at the smaller girl beside her.
"Yeah Chloe?"
"Can I uh… hold your hand again?"
'She's so fucking cute' Max screamed in her head, her heart was a puddle in her chest.
"You don't have to ask, Chloe." Max grabbed the punk's hand and intertwined their fingers together.
Once they reached the city limit sign Chloe decided it was time to head back to the truck even though she didn't want the date to end. Just before they reached Two Whales Chloe stopped and pulled Max closer to her, all she had thought about during the date was the kiss they shared in her room a few days ago.
"Can we talk about this situation right now?" Chloe's voice was barely a whisper; Max knew she was hella nervous.
"Y-yeah we can."
"I haven't stopped thinking about the kiss and it's driving me crazy knowing that I have these feelings for you."
"What kind of feelings do you have for me?"
"Maxi pad you know what kind of feelings!" Chloe pulled away and threw her arms in the air.
"No I don't, Chloe."
"Those gross romantic feelings that make me want to buy you flowers and hold your hand and shit like that."
Max had a smile from ear to ear accompanied by red cheeks. "So Max, will you be my girlfriend?" Chloe huffed she never knew liking someone would be so emotional. Max rocked back and forth on her heels while holding her sides, she nodded her head furiously and ran into Chloe's arms. Max pulled away and stood on her tip toes, she gently pressed her lips against Chloe's like the morning in her room. A few seconds into the kiss the punk wrapped her arms around Max's waist pulling their bodies together. They pulled away to come up for air; Chloe rested her forehead against the shorter girls head, all she wanted was to take Max home and do unspeakable things.
"Wanna go back to my place? Step-douche has to pull the night shift and my mom won't get off until three in the morning."
"I don't know, Chlo." Max had only been on two other dates in her life and neither of them asked her to come back to their place.
"We don't have to do anything you don't want to, we can just lay in bed and cuddle."
"I like that idea."
The new couple made their way back to Chloe's truck and quickly climbed inside. Instead of sitting in the passenger seat the photographer climbed into the middle seat and wrapped her arms around her punk's neck. Chloe took her eyes off the road for a second to kiss Max's lips quickly, the brunette pulled away and made her focus on the road. When Chloe pulled in the driveway she looked at Max in a loving way before smiling. "First one upstairs gets to pick the movie." Chloe smirked while Max panicked, she knew if she won Chloe would make them watch a scary movie. They both got out of the car and stood beside each other Chloe counted down from three and they both ran as fast as they could into the house. The punk was ahead but before she could step foot in her room Max slipped past her and jumped on the bed.
"I won!" The tiny brunette yelled with a smile from ear to ear.
"You sure did, nerd. A deals a deal, what do you want to watch?" Chloe pointed to the pile of movies by the T.V. Max walked over and searched through the collection. After a few minutes she pulled out Blade Runner.
"You put that in while I go piss, alright? You can grab some PJ's from my fashion hole too." Chloe walked out to the bathroom while Max set the movie up. The tiny brunette walked over to Chloe's closet and grabbed an old band shirt before going over to the dresser and grabbing a pair of boy shorts. Max changed quickly and then jumped on the queen size bed, when she landed a small tin box that was hidden by a sheet landed beside her. Max opened the green box, she was immediately met with a picture of Rachel Amber, Chloe's friend who had been missing for Six months, Rachel's arms were wrapped around Chloe's neck and her lips pressed firmly against the punk's cheek.
"They were close, friends kiss on the cheeks all the time." Max whispered to herself.
She searched through the rest of the box and found two more pictures of the pair. The first picture enclosed a heated make out session on Chloe's bed, exactly where Max was sitting. The second was an obvious post sex selfie that broke Max's heart a little, now that they were dating officially it hurt Max to think Chloe had been intimate with other people.
"What ya got there, Super Max?" Chloe asked slowly walking into the room; Max quickly shoved the pictures into the box and pushed it away. "Nothing." Was all Max could say, fearing she would get in trouble for having the pictures. Chloe frowned when she remembered what was in the box, she sat down and wrapped an arm around her girlfriend. "You found the pictures, didn't you?" Chloe asked even though she already knew the answer. "Yeah, I'm sorry about Rachel. If I would have known she wa-is your girlfriend I wouldn't have agreed to go on the date." Even though everyone knew Rachel was probably dead Max still felt guilty about seeing Chloe.
"Max, let's be honest Rachel is most likely dead and if she's alive she sure isn't coming back here."
"But she's your girlfriend."
"No, you're my girlfriend."
Chloe leaned over and kissed Max's cheek gently, Max blushed and leaned into the blue haired punk. While they sat in bed Chloe got an idea and ran over to the shelf by the T.V. Chloe returned to the bed with a Polaroid camera that used to belong to her dad. The punk sat down on the bed and moved close to Max so that their faces were inches away. "Selfie time, Caulfield!" Chloe yelled before taking the picture, Chloe shook the picture and held it up for Max too see. They both looked genuinely happy in the shot, it was defiantly getting saved on the wall. "We really look adorable, Chloe." Max said leaning into the punk once again. "You're hella adorable, nerd." Chloe caught Max's lips in a deep kiss causing Max to involuntary moan, they both pulled away laughing.
Chloe laid down on her back waiting for Max to lay on top of her, which was exactly what the brunette did. Max's head rested in-between Chloe's neck and shoulder; Chloe started the movie and wrapped both arms around Max. While the movie played the pair exchanged small kisses. Halfway through the movie Chloe passed out with her head turned towards Max, the photographer giggled at the fact Chloe couldn't stay awake during movies. While lying in Chloe's arms Max got an idea, she reached over and grabbed the Polaroid camera on the other side of her girlfriend. Max pressed her lips against Chloe's cheek and snapped a shot, surprisingly the flash didn't wake Chloe up. Max looked at the picture and smiled, Chloe looked so cute when she slept. Max carefully placed the picture under her pillow and smirked, "Eat your heart out Rachel."
