Prompt: Stars
Pairing: Maxxie/Tony
Tony stared up at the wide expanse of stars gathered in front of him, tears running down his cheeks. He snuffled a little, a signal that his episode was finally winding down.
Behind him, he heard another person breathing. A body dropped down beside him. "You sure took off fast, Tone," Maxxie commented, panting a little.
Tony didn't comment, just kept staring above him. Maxxie slowly wiped a tear from Tony's cheek. "What happened, mate? One minute it was all fine, dancing and drinking, and the next you're panicking and running out the door. I thought you'd gotten over most of your issues." Maxxie sighed, looking up to the stars as well.
"I thought so, too," Tony responded quietly. As Maxxie turned his head to glance at Tony, the brunet swiped a hand across his eyes. "It's just, it all got to be too much, all the noise and the bodies, it felt like I was being crushed. It brought back memories and I…" Tony couldn't continue.
Maxxie laid a calming hand across Tony's shoulder. "Alright, mate, alright. If you wanted to leave the party, you could have said so earlier. So, you want me to take you home?" Maxxie smiled, about to stand.
Tony grabbed Maxxie's wrist, forcing himself to breathe. "Actually, can we…stay out here a little longer?"
Maxxie looked right and left, taking in the abandoned parking lot and dumpsters just a few feet away. "Yeah, Tone, sounds good," Maxxie said, smiling and sitting back down. He didn't pull his wrist away from Tony's grasp.
Sucking in another breath, Tony made a second request. "Do you mind if we…you know. Kissed again? Like last time?"
Maxxie's smile grew wider. "Tone, there's nothing I'd rather do."
