After saying their goodbyes to Joyce and David on the following day the couple gets back to the apartment and lie on the couch. The bluenette softly caresses Max's back.

'Thank you, Chloe' she whispers.

'What?'

'Yesterday. I really needed you back there. You didn't let my hand go. You did your best to please my mother. Too bad I'll never be good enough for her'

'But you're perfect for me. And your dad was such a badass! He was really sweet when you came out.'

'I bet he had to sleep on the couch' she sighs 'And Joyce was so cool about us'

'Pft, she had us in her home for months. She loves you, dumbass!'

'More importantly, she loves both of us. Joyce truly is a badass when the ones she loves are confronted. She could totally kick my mother's ass. She would rip me apart if I hurt you.' she laughs.

'You're lucky you love me' she giggles.

'Of course I love you. You're my life, Chloe. And now I doubt I could ever go back to Seattle'

'Do you want to?'

'No way. You're my home.'

'I forgot to tell you that Matt and Amy are getting married'

'Did he call you yesterday?'

'Yeah. It's so great. I can't believe it. And I can't wait for us to get married'

'Pft, that's illegal in Oregon'

'Maybe someday it won't be. And then I'll have the best wifey in the world'

'Until then I'll be the best girlfriend' she giggles.

'The very best' she kisses her neck.

'Seriously, what would I do without you?' she sighs.

'You would be the same shy hipster' she smirks.

'You know I could've let you die there'

'Oh, you can always go back and change time'

'It was destiny I was there. That you kickstarted my powers and I saved you. I'd never change that. And… I want that butterfly tattooed on me'

'You serious?' she sits up.

'As soon as possible' she nods.

'I'll check out my schedule. But are you sure about this?'

'Chloe, we are meant to be. What, are you suddenly scared of commitment?' she grins.

'I just don't want you to regret it.'

'We're together forever. You said it.'

'I know. I mean it. But you know I had my time. I don't want to put chains on you'

'Bullshit. You don't. Ever since we're together again I'm more alive than ever before. I feel fulfilled with you. I don't need anyone else in my life.'

'Who's mushy now?' she giggles then softly bites the brunette's neck.

'Who the fuck cares? I love you, Chloe.'

'I love you too, Max.'

'It's been a while since we truly had some time together, huh?' she closes her eyes.

'I can't even remember' she sighs 'We're getting hella busy'

'Yeah, but… after a long day when I get home and the flat is still empty I lie down. I think about you and when you're getting home. Then I start working to finish before you arrive because when you're home I want to give all my attention to you. Because you work for us and I do nothing and I'm… I want you to feel that I'm… needed'

'Kiddin', Max? You keep me alive. You make me keep going on. To work hard. To prove myself every single day. When I get home tired and see you I smile because all day long I'm looking forward to the moment when I can embrace you and tell you how much I missed you'

'Chloe…'

'Hm?' she smiles.

'End-terms are coming. I'm about to bitch a lot again'

'It's okay' she caresses her side 'I'm with you, baby'

'I'm afraid I won't have enough time for you' she sighs.

'We'll cope with it'

'Are you sure?'

'Hella sure' she kisses her long and softly.

'Are you in a romantic mood?'

'I think so' she blushes 'Don't you mind? I'm not in the mood of rush now. It's been a while since we had this much time for each other'

'I know' she sits on her lap 'The past weeks were so crazy. What if things just get worse, Chlo?'

'Don't you dare!' she gently kisses her chest 'Let's not blow this. Fuck the problems now, okay?'

'I'm sorry.'

'Stop worrying' she cups her face 'I'm with you, Super Max' she kisses her gently while her left hand tenderly caresses her back.

'One day' she goes on as their foreheads meet 'when I'm finished with college we'll have everything. We'll have more time for each other. And I'm gonna give everything you need'

'You're all I need' she pulls her by the neck for a kiss 'And shut the fuck up already!' she giggles.

'Let's just go to the bedroom, okay?'

'Hold on tight. I'll take you'

The brunette wraps her arms around the tattooist's neck who's hugging her tight and stands up as she kisses her. She takes the way to the bedroom slowly. She sits her on the bed and kneels before her, laying her head on her chest. The photographer tucks into her hair. She kisses her softly as her hands slip under her top. The tattooist kisses her neck then gently bites on it, making the brunette moan. She takes off her top and scatters kisses on her abdomen. She gets on top and stops a little, silently gazing into her eyes.

'Do you really want to marry me?' Max breaks the silence.

'As soon as possible. I wanna live the rest of my life with you'

'You sentimental stupid punk' she gets rid of her top.

'Don't you believe I could do that?'

'I'm sure you could. I can see how you look at me. You're so in love with me.'

'Madly. If something would happen to you… I wouldn't… I just… You're the meaning of my life' she kisses her cheek 'My life would be meaningless without you'

'Every night when I fall asleep on your heartbeat assures me I know what I'm doing'

'Yeah. You make me happy'

'That's all what matters'

They embrace in a kiss. The bluenette takes off the photographer's jeans then she starts caressing her inner thighs. Max bites the tattooist's neck gently. She kisses her cheek and gazes into her eyes.

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing' she smiles 'It's just been a while since I admired your beauty'

'I'm not that beautiful' she reaches for Chloe's pants.

'Okay. You're hot. Better?'

'Funny' she throws the pants next to the bed 'And who's talking?'

'Your girlfriend' she smirks.

'And the luckiest bastard in the world…' she gets rid of the bluenette's bra.

'Am I?'

'You keep saying this'

'Because that's the truth' she kisses her neck 'And you're my world' she whispers into her ear.

The brunette, losing her mind, pulls Chloe for a kiss, driven by desire. She sits up, gets rid of her own bra then tucks into the punk's hair. She kisses the bluenette's collarbone then gently bites on her neck. She gropes her butt as she bites on the tattooist's nipple, who moans.

'What about romance? I thought you'd be gentle'

'I lost it' she kisses her neck.

'I'm gonna go gently on you anyway' she whispers.

'Okay' she kisses her chest.

'Max?'

'Hm?' she wraps her arms around her neck, gazing into her eyes.

'We could do it together this time' she blushes.

'It's been a while, right?'

'Yeah. I'm just…'

'You're so cute' she kisses her cheek then gets rid of the punk's underwear 'Come on. You should check what you've done' she lies on her back.

'I love you' she whispers into her ear as she takes of the brunette's panties.

'I love you, too, Chloe. Come here now.'

The bluenette lies next to Max, kissing her softly. She slowly reaches between the brunette's legs, making her moan and break the kiss.

'Already?' she giggles 'Do you want to fuck the day away?'

'I just wanna be with you'

'Let's just see who's giving up first' she grins as she reaches between the punk's legs.

They embrace in a kiss again. Their bodies move together for a while then the photographer loses focus first. She leans to Chloe's ear but can't hold a moan back.

'What's wrong?'

'Eat me out' she whispers.

'Huh?'

'Eat me out. Please.' she asks again.

The tattooist looks at her then kisses her gently. In the next moment she's already between her legs, deeply kissing into her clam. She trembles as she inserts a finger and the brunette lays her hand on Chloe's head.

'So close…' she whispers 'Too close…'

Her body moves with the punk's hand and tongue. The bluenette looks at the panting photographer. As their eyes meet, Max smiles and mouths an 'I love you' then her hands slip on her shoulders and her back starts arching.

'Ffffuuuuccckkkk' she moans reaching climax and she's already impatiently reaches for her girlfriend who lies next to her and hugs her immediately.

'I love you' she kisses her forehead.

'I love you, too' she pants.

'You're so sweet' she caresses her back.

'It's so nice' she kisses Chloe's neck.

'Hm?'

'You and me. Just like this. It sure has been a while' she sighs then yawns.

'Tired?' she kisses her cheek.

'Sorry. Two seconds, I promise.' she kisses her then reaches between her legs.

'You don't have to.' she smiles.'

'Don't you want to? Don't you want me?'

'You're so sweet' she giggles 'And so tired.'

'You want it' she pulls a finger on her girlfriend, making her moan 'Right?'

'Right, right' she sighs.

The photographer penetrates as she looks at the bluenette's face.

'I told you already. I hate when you're watching me' she moans.

'But you're so beautiful' she fastens her movements.

The punk moans again, closing her eyes. She trembles as the brunette kisses her. She wraps her arms around the photographer's neck and moans into her ear.

'I love it'

'I know' she pants 'I know. Make me cum'

'This close already?' she smiles.

'Mhm'

'You're hypersensitive.'

'Because I'm with you' she moans.

Max gently bites on the tattooist's neck. Her back is already arching and moans into her ear loudly. She's shaking as her back reaches the bed again. She breathes hard as she hugs the brunette tight. She caresses her cheek and kisses her softly.

'You're mine, hipster'

'I am. Only yours.'

'I'm never gonna let you go.'

'I'm not going anywhere. Or maybe. I go wherever you go'

'Don't you dare to leave me, asswipe'

'Never. We're bonded for life.'
