Max and Ben share an apartment at TC. Max hasn't been felling very well lately and is about to find out why. Both Max and Ben arecuddled up on the three piece suite, watching tv.
"Maxie are you okay?" Ben asked looking down at Max
"Yeah, why?" she asked
"You just seem different the past few days" he answered Max didn't reply
"Talk to me Max" he suggested
"There's nothing to say Ben" she muttered
"What are you worried about?" he moved to look at her face to see if there was any sign of what was wrong.
"I'm not worried" she said wearing the emotionless Manticore mask. Instantly Ben knew she wasn't telling him something.
"I can sense your worried about something" he told her
"It's just Alec..he's up to something" Max looked into his eyes then lay her head back down on his chest. Hoping he would fall for the little lie.
"He's always up to something...this means you can tell me anything Maxie and i'll still be yours" Ben gently brushed his fingers over the mark on her neck.
"But you'll go all protective on me and hurt.." Max muttered thinking back to that morning when her and Alec had been sparring then got pains in her stomach.
"What's happened?" he asked in a serious tone.
"See what i mean, stop it" she barked
"But.." he tried to reason but Max wasn't havving it.
"I don't want to hear it" she hissed and got up, headed for the kitchen.
"Max" Ben sat up and called her but she just took a bottle of chilled water out the fridge and went into her room and closed the door. Then she lay down on the bed pressing the cold bottle on her forehead and she was half curled up into a ball shape.
"Maxie speak to me. What's wrong?" Ben walked into the room and shut the door.
"Nothing" she replied automatically
"Your hurt" he muttered sitting on the edge of the bed
"I'm fine" she replied still having her eyes closed. Ben pocked Max stomach slightly with a finger to see is she had a sore stomach and she winced in pain.
"Max why didn't you tell me your in pain" he asked as he lay down next to her and gently pulkled her into a hug. Max let him.
"Admiting your hurt is showing sign of weakness" she answered
"It's okay to be hurt and let others help you. We're not at Manticore anymore" Ben reminded her.
Ben moved his hand to rest it on Max stomach but her fast reflexs caught his wrist.
"I won't hurt you Maxie, i didn't know you were hurt before" he told her slowly Maxs grip loosened and she let go. Their eyes locked. Max tensed up and Ben gently rubbed her stomach with his warm hand.
"Better?" he asked as he sensed Max relax
"Much...how come it's fine when you do it but when i do it doesn't help" she asked
"Your holding the iced water on you forehead your hands must be freezing" he smiled
"You tell me" she returned the smile and placed her cold hands on his cheeks
"Oh, yeah, there cold" he pulled away, Max placed the bottle on the bed side table.
"I'm sorry i over reacted, i just don't want you to get hurt" he apologised
"I'm sorry too. I should have told you" Max replied
"Told me what?" Ben didn't know
"That i haven't been feeling well laetly" Max answered
"Max transgenics don't get sick" Ben replied worried
"Yeah, i know that's waht's worrying me" Max confessed
"Maybe you've just ate something dodgey" he said
"Like pizza and beer" Max replied
"You had them together" Ben check and Max nodded
"There's you problem. Go to sleep honey you'll feel better in the morning" Ben told her
"I hope so" Max siged and Ben hugged her tighter.
"Oh Ben watch the stomach" Max rushed
"Sorry" he kissed the back of her head and Max fell asleep in his arms.
