(I don't own Life is Strange)
G is for Gift:
Kate: 5 minutes ago: Come to my room.
Max: 2 minutes ago: Why? Is something wrong Kate?
Kate: 1 minute ago: Just hurry.
Max has grown extremely worried by that point. Was Kate getting bullied again? Was she hurt? Why did she text Max so flustered?
At this point in the game, Max was running back to the dorms. She heard Chloe yelling a goodbye behind her but didn't stop to respond. Max urged her feet to keep moving, sweat running down her forehead. Her lungs begged for air as she kept running. Her sucked in breath after breath until she finally ran up the stairs to Kate's room.
Max banged on Kate's door with her fist in panic, breathing heavily from her minor Olympics. It took a couple of seconds before Kate opened the door, looking a little shocked at how Max had greeted her. Max planted her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.
"Kate…w-what's…wrong," she panted and looked up, sweat rolling from her forehead. Kate frowned. "Max, did you run all the way here?" Max smiled sheepishly and nodded, standing up straight once again.
Once she was back on her feet Kate had grabbed her arm and pulled her inside, sitting her on her bed. "Kate, what's wrong? Why'd you text me?" Max's sentence brought Kate's smile back on her face.
"I have a surprise for you," She squeaked and Max's eyes sparkled with amusement. "What's the surprise?" Kate's smile grew bigger until it reached her ears. "Close your eyes and relax."
Max chuckled but closed her eyes. "Kate, I ran from the parking lot not from New York." Kate rolled her eyes and grabbed a box that she hid underneath a pillow. "Yes but you're tired, and you need to relax." Max smirked. "Can I open my eyes yet?" Kate replied with a muffled "Mmhmm."
Max's eyes opened slowly and her jaw dropped at the sight in front of her. Kate was holding a brand new Hasselblad 500c/m camera. Kate's smile stayed on her face as she watched Max's eyes tear up.
"Kate…I can't…how much did you pay for this," Max asked, astonished by the new camera. Kate shrugged. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that this camera is a gift from me!"
Kate suddenly felt arms around her neck, a slight wetness on her shoulder from Max's tears. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Kate chuckled, carefully setting the camera on her nearby desk as she wrapped her arms around Max's waist. Kate planted a gentle kiss on Max's temple and she felt Max smile against her.
"Anything for my girl."
