Days have passed since Maxwell took on Lilith alongside with Eda. Maxwell was a bit silent since than as his heart felt like it was swelling with a sense of confidence but he didn't seem to be the type to show off. Maxwell, Luz and King were in the living room of the owl house as King was looking like he was teaching them a thing or two about demons or from what he knows from his notes.
"So you haven't learned anything about demons in this world, have you, big guy?" said King.
Maxwell shook his head and shook a bit in the body like a chill came over him. Luz was sitting next to him.
"It's not that I didn't want to learn about demons, it's just that when ever learning something like that came up, it was too scary to me so I just avoided it." revealed Maxwell blushing.
Luz patted Maxwell on his head affectionately while she reassured Maxwell.
"Nothing to worry about, Maxie. Learning about this from King is like school back in our world." reassured Luz.
Maxwell felt at ease as he relaxed himself. After King was teaching them about one or more demons from his notes, which some were crayon drawings and some of them were more like notes from a notebook that kids used. They heard thunder clap and they got up.
"So it rains on the boiling isles?" asked Maxwell looking interested.
Maxwell walked towards the door and opened it which both Luz and King followed.
"Maxie, I wouldn't." warned King.
Maxwell ignored him and walked outside as he saw the clouds forming from what looks like rain was coming.
"I remember playing in the rain when ever my dad or anyone didn't know or when ever they weren't looking. I only did it once, I would pretend I was sailing the ocean like a brave pirate." said Maxwell with a smile.
Luz and King tried to warn him but he was ignoring them as he saw a couple of flowers nearby knew they could use rain.
"Rain would help make things grow like a corn field." Maxwell told them.
A drop of rain came down and hit the flowers, and to his surprise, the rain water burned it and turned into ashes.
"Oh shit." Maxwell said surprised.
"Maxie, language!" called Luz.
"I'm sorry." Maxwell told her.
Maxwell looked up and saw some rain drops come down and some other places were getting rained on. Eda ran towards them and she looked like she was running like a track star.
"Boiling rain, everyone inside. Maxie, don't let the rain touch you." called Eda.
Maxwell looked up and some rain drops hit him on his legs and some were on his feet, causing him burning pain and he let out a loud scream.
"Ay, se quema!" screamed Maxwell in pain.
Eda managed to grab hold of Maxwell and with such strength, carried him with one arm and made it inside the owl house.
"Good thing we made and none of you got hurt." said Eda with a grin.
Maxwell wailed in pain from the burns that the rain caused him and Eda saw him looking like he had burn holes in his pants legs. Maxwell was laying on the floor, holding his legs up while he tried to rub the pain away. Luz came to his side and took a look at his legs.
"Awww, Maxie got some burns." Luz said cutely.
"Tend to his burns, I'll get the force field spell going." Eda instructed.
Eda would walk outside and used a gold light that was forming from her hands as she managed to have the force field spell cover the whole house. Luz, King and Maxwell saw her doing this as Maxwell managed to try and stand up as they watched her from the door.
"What is she doing?" groaned Maxwell.
"Force field spell, it'll protect the house from the boiling rain. Nothing to worry, big boy." King reassured.
Eda walked back towards the house and she smiled as she gave an attractive walk which left Maxwell staring at her form, her legs and more as he formed a grin. He saw Eda's hips wiggling, he watched her chest as he noticed that even the clothing she wore showed that she looked like she had a big bulge forming at the chest area as if she looked like she may have a nice set of big breasts.
"Ella me tiene bajo su hechizo." muttered Maxwell with a giggle.
"Say what now?" asked Luz and King in unison.
Maxwell just realized what he just said and remembered Luz knew Spanish like he does, he blushed and his smile faded.
"Nothing!" said Maxwell with a hiccup.
Maxwell walked inside and so did the rest of them but the pain in his legs reawakened as he groaned loudly in pain from the burns.
"Ow, I forgot the burns." said Maxwell in a groan.
Maxwell sat on the couch and spread his legs to try and ease the pain and ease any pressure on his legs.
"Did he say something?" asked Eda.
"He said it way to fast for me to catch that." answered Luz.
They walked over to Maxwell as King pulled out what looked like a box of first aid. Maxwell was breathing in and out to focus on something else other than the burns.
"Lets take a look at those burns, buddy." said King.
Maxwell shook his head as if it was like a five year old whose afraid of getting a shot.
"I'm not dropping my pants and no one's touching the burns." said Maxwell in a shaky voice.
"Maxie, it's alright. We're just going to put some bandages on them." reassure Luz.
"Just pull the leg sleeves up, it's alright." King reassured.
Maxwell felt a bit more comfortable at the suggestion and he pulled the leg sleeves up from his pants and they saw he had nothing but first degree burns which looked like red dots.
"I can do something about this, but always warn me if your ticklish. I'm a bit of a tickler." joked King.
King laughed a bit and started to pull out a can of disinfected spray, he lightly sprayed the burns which did make him shake and groan at first, than he placed band aids on Maxwell's burns which were looking like a band aid would easily fix the problem. Maxwell shed a tear and felt the pain being relieved.
"That's my big brave boy, that didn't hurt now, did it." King told him with encouragement. "Now we're boo boo buddies."
"What kind of weather is that? Those burns hurt." asked Maxwell.
"I told Luz we don't have weather on the boiling isles. We have boiling rain, plagues, gorenados, shale hale and painbows." Eda informed.
Maxwell didn't understand what she told him as he looked clueless.
"What's a painbow?" asked Maxwell.
"It's like a rainbow but looking at it turns you inside out." explained King.
Hearing that made Maxwell gulp and let out a hiccup again. They realized just now that they probably shouldn't alarm him any further.
"It's alright Maxie, that's not going to happen to you, Luz, King or anyone else while I'm around." reassured Eda.
Maxwell let out a sigh of relief as he knew he was safe with them. Luz got up and sat on Maxwell's left side, Eda came over and sat on his right side and King crawled up to sit in his lap.
"Sorry about your pants, Maxie. You got another pair, right?" asked Eda.
Maxwell nodded and Luz patted Maxwell on the back lightly, causing him to let out a sigh of relief.
"When you stood up to my sister, that thing you said sounded like a joke or a pun. Mama said knock you out." Eda laughed at the humor. "Where did you get that one from?"
"It was the name of a rap song." answered Maxwell. "An old rap song before I was born."
"Still sounds like a funny pun that someone says when they give the opponent the finishing blow." said Eda with a grin.
"So you got a thing for rap music?" giggled Luz. "Insane in the membrane."
"Crazy insane, got no brain." chuckled Luz and Maxwell.
Eda laughed a bit as she found the phrase to be another funny joke while King giggled at the sound of it.
"I'm not into that." answered Maxwell.
They fell silent but nearly took a minute for the laughter to stop.
"I was more into rock, pop, rock and roll." Maxwell told them.
"That explains the musical voice of yours." Eda said giggling.
Eda playfully slapped Maxwell on his back, leaving him to blush and let out a cough which was probably trying to hide a gasp.
"Boys with a voice like that can turn into a total chick magnet overnight." Eda commented. "Did you ever attract any attention from some girls back at home?"
"Uhhhhh, no." said Maxwell nervously. "I didn't have the courage to even talk to them at the time."
"Any girl would be lucky to have you as their boyfriend." Luz said trying to inject some confidence in him.
"Bet he knows what romantic fireworks are like now when Eda gave him a smoochie." teased King making kissy sounds.
King was laughing about the time when Eda kissed Maxwell when Eda was doing a victory dance when they caught Lilith cheating as she was taunting her sister for it. Eda looked annoyed while Maxwell blushed deeply.
"King, you do know that I know where your tickly spot is and me or Luz could tickle you without mercy." Eda said with a comeback.
"Alright, just give me a minute to stop laughing." said King.
King took a minute to stop and he got up to look right at Maxwell.
"So Maxie, did you ever have a preference in a girl?" asked King curiously.
Maxwell didn't have a clue as he hesitated a little at first. Both Luz and Eda felt tense for a moment as if they wondered if Maxwell's preference in a girl would be too graphic.
"I don't know. I only noticed one girl back at home and I found out she wasn't the one for me." answered Maxwell.
Eda and Luz were relieved as if afraid he wasn't single. King got curious to who this girl was.
"Who was this girl?" asked King.
"Doesn't matter, she was out of my league anyway." answered Maxwell looking like he wasn't bothered by it.
They all looked like they could tell that this bothered him. A girl he liked turned out to be in a relationship already would sting a little to some.
"Well, if that girl can't see what a sweet boy you are and that she'd be lucky to date you, than that's her loss." said Luz kindly.
Luz pulled Maxwell in for a hug and that did seem to help him feel like it cushioned the blow.
"Thanks for showing me compassion about this." said Maxwell with a grin.
"You know, big boy. Maybe that special girl is closer than you think." said Eda with a grin. "I've dated plenty of guys and I turned out alright."
Maxwell looked at Eda with a look of surprise. He was starting to wonder how her dating life was, he didn't dare to read her mind about that because he knew that would be wrong.
"Is it alright of me to ask how those dates turned out?" asked Maxwell curiously.
"Let's just say that I've dated better or worse, much worse." said Eda informing him.
"And I understand it's none of my business." said Maxwell as if obeying a direct order. "I mean it's none of our business."
"That's not what you said the first time." giggled King.
"I-I-I-I-I-I don't know what your talking about." stuttered Maxwell nervously.
"You said my and not our." King teased.
"I got to wash my hands." said Maxwell really fast.
Maxwell ran faster than a rocket car on the land speed record as he went to the bathroom.
"That was too far, was it?" asked King.
"A little bit." said Luz.
"Sorry about that, but if a hot girl ever does go for him, lets keep an eye on him in case he gets overwhelmed." King advised.
"Agreed." they all said.
While they knew that Maxwell was probably needing to calm himself. Maxwell was looking at himself in the mirror of the bathroom. As he was in there, he felt his own heart beating rapidly as something came to his mind. Out of every nice girl he knows at the boiling isles, he didn't know which one of them has him love struck.
