“I mean it’s better for me buuuuuuuut….” She smiles taking a bite of the hot dog, and getting a ride before she brought the food closer to his lips to give him a bite too, listening to him and resting her chin on his shoulder close to his neck where there was warmth and his scent. “Well…..that’s the only thing you needed that hotel for because now you’re staying with us.” She tells him, flexing her thighs at his hips to hold onto him. “But um….I meant about you not leaving here again….” She says quieter.

[maddmaximillion]

He laughed a little more hearing her before she offered a bite to him and he took a bite, the classic New York style hot dog that he loved so much. His arms hooked around her legs to keep her steady as he heard her, nodding to show he understood as he chewed his bite before her quieter words had him swallowing, looking at her over his shoulder before he answered. "I mean...I don't want to go back to Phoenix, or...anywhere else. I want to be here. I missed you...way too fucking much and I don't want to any more. I don't want to miss out on your life and being a part of it. And who knows, like you said, maybe I can find something I really like doing here. Playing football or just...something I love. There's nothing for me back in Arizona, and you're here, and I love this place and you. Plus, you said Cade can be my new eating buddy."

“I’ll feed you the hot dog, you carry me.” She declares, jumping on his back and reaching over to take the hot dog from his hand to hold. “Onward, Noble Steed and I demand answers to your cryptic words before my accent comes out again.”

[maddmaximillion]

"Seems like a fair trade." he mused, nodding and transferring the hot dog to her hand to hold, hearing her words and laughing softly. He bent lower to offer her his back, holding his arms out ready to secure her legs before he answered her. "I booked a hotel when I got in this morning so that I could take a shower because I hadn't had one in five days because my bus didn't have a layover long enough since we passed the Mississippi."

She never underestimated or doubted the way Max saw her, how he saw her, knowing no matter what it was…..he always saw her, and she tried her damn best to see him, eyes that always used to find each other in hard times, in quiet times. She’d missed him, but it went away so quickly, the instant he was here with her, even in the past, it wasn’t a missing that lingered it was filled in such a warm way. “I will get you some wings going. We’re going. Let’s go. Hot dogs on the way though.” She smiles, taking his hand in her own and starting to walk off the walkway of the bridge towards the park before she frowned a bit. “Where you staying? And don’t say some ridiculous hotel or on a park bench or under a bridge. You’re staying with us.” She smiles, arms slipping around his waist as she leaned into his side and ducked herself under his arm by nudging her elbow into his to make him have no choice but to lift it enough for her to find a spot. “I’m glad you’re here. Jets games, Giants games, maybe some hockey, definitely wings. You missed baseball season but it was shit so no loss there.” She grumbles, pursing her lips a bit just softly before her blue eyes were going up to him, a smile spreading warmly on her cheeks. “I’m sure they’ll be excited to meet you.They’re amazing. Nyx is….incredible, breathtaking, every damn day she amazes me. Cade is absolutely precious, eats everything in sight and I’m maybe gonna see about weaning her a bit, see how that goes with me and her, she’s getting bigger and she likes smiling in the middle and showing her teeth but then I feel her teeth so…” She chuckles. “God, and Chance is tee tiny and perfect in every way.” Marley smiles, shrugging lightly though it wasn’t one of uncertainty it was of never knowing how to talk about herself with anyone really. “Perfect. You?”

[maddmaximillion]

The woman in front of him knew him better than anyone else in the world did, even without knowing every detail or every favorite, every dislike. She could look him in the eye and tell if something was wrong, if something was off, and they'd gone through hell together...they knew when something was off. "Sounds like a plan." he nodded, feeling her take his hand and he moved with her down the walkway, dark eyes seeing the park they were heading toward. "Well, I won't tell you the truth then, since its on your list of things I'm not allowed to stay." he chuckled, joking, but he smiled more hearing her, ducking his head softly. "I'd like that." he told her, chuckling softly as she wormed her way under his arm and he draped it around her shoulders, keeping her close to his side. "Definitely some hockey. I'd probably be good at hockey." he mused, shaking his head lightly with a sigh. "Yeah, I saw. Wasn't that great on my end either." he muttered, looking to Marley now and holding her eyes as she spoke. "I'm definitely excited to meet them." he told her honestly, hearing how the girls were and he smiled more, seeing her face light up just softly as she spoke of them. "Me and Cade have that in common then, eating everything in sight. It'll probably catch up with me one day but not today." he grinned, before making a face to what she said now, sure that her baring her teeth while breastfeeding definitely wasn't fun. "Doesn't sound like a good time." he mused, hearing her talk about Chance now and he smiled, so ready to meet all of them. Dark eyes stayed on her hue as she gave a single word for herself and he knew better than to expect more than that. "I'm better now. Away from Phoenix and where I want to be, not missing the person I missed a lot and...there's a lot of opportunities here. Might try to go to college or something. Who knows, maybe the Jets need a tight end." he chuckled, clear play in his words as he walked with Marley, spotting a hot dog vendor a little further down the street. "It has been way too long since I've seen you and had a hot dog from a vendor. Never leaving this state again."

God, she missed him so much, her arms flexing tighter around him though carefully…knowing she could hurt him. Healer or not she didn’t want to test inflicting him pain just from hugging him too tight. Her smile was bright and plastered on her lips looking at him, drinking him in like she’d done a million times before, looking for changes but God….he was still her Max and him being here….meant everything to her. Her blue eyes closed lightly feeling his kiss to her forehead, smiling softly to the familiarity of that touch and running her right hand lightly back into his shaggy hair. She loved it shaggy, so she wasn’t complaining, but he was pushing it on the shags a bit too and she chuckled hearing him. “Did you…..for my hot wings?” She asks, arching a brow with a playful smile before it softened on him, melted with warmth spreading to her cheeks, words from him, Max who’d been through so much with her. “You look…dapper as ever, Healer.” She answers, leaning in softer now to wrap him up in another embrace. The last two years held a lot of hell, the last almost seven months, nothing but beauty and when she thought she couldn’t feel more complete…..Max found her, and her heart swelled even more. 

[maddmaximillion]

Seeing her smile meant...so goddamn much to Max, knowing she was happy; happy to see him yes, but there was a brightness in her eyes that was so beautiful and something he hadn't seen that deeply...ever. They'd been through hell together, and he he searched her features for more changes but...he didn't find anything else, just a pure happiness. Max held her close, keeping her in his arms and he didn't plan on letting go any time soon, missing his best friend in the whole entire world and wanting her close. He chuckled softly as she ran her hand through his hair, knowing it was too long for both of their liking and he laughed a little more with her words, nodding a bit, softly. "I'd say the hot wings are definitely worth the bus ride, but...I missed you and being able to hug you and...definitely the hot wings, but you also can't find good hot dog vendors in Arizona, or snow, and..." He shrugged a little lightly, licking his lips before he spoke again. "I just wanted to be here. Meet the wife and kids. Maybe catch a few Jets games." he smiled, holding her eyes as she spoke again and he smiled a little more, holding her closer and flexing his arms just gently around her, pulling in her scent and feeling so much comfort wash through him. "How are the girls?" he asked softly, kissing her curls again. "And you?"

She crashed into him and he didn’t waver, not in the slightest. He absorbed her, no matter her strength Max Parker’s arms would always be stronger to Marley Nolan; he’d always envelop. Her smile was plastered on her lips, tears pooling over in her eyes and hitting her cheeks feeling him safe in her arms; feeling him here. His voice though…..comfort, and she smiled even more. “Hey, you right back.” She breathes, her right hand moving to thread into his shaggy hair that….was too long. “I missed you the most.” She tells him, pulling back enough to find his dark eyes, lips peppering his cheeks and his forehead and his nose, his chin. “You need a haircut, Healer.”

[maddmaximillion]

Holding her like this beat any other feeling he knew of, knowing she was safe and okay and happy...God, her eyes looked so much brighter even with tears streaming from them and he moved his right hand to brush softly over her cheeks, refusing to let her go. Hearing her voice...He'd missed her so much and even though they sent texts and pictures and talked on the phone from time to time, it wasn't the same as being here with her. Max smiled softly with her words, feeling her touch to his hair that had him flexing his grip a little more before his other hand moved from her cheek to tuck her curls behind her ear, laughing softly to the kisses she gave him now. "Well..." he started, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I didn't travel almost twenty five hundred miles just for one of your haircuts, but I definitely wouldn't say no to one. It pisses me off when it gets this long now." he told her, sighing lightly and holding her eyes. "You look good, Mare."

Mare: Fuck You.

If Marley’s pulse could beat out of her chest it felt like it now, blue eyes wide and her hands shaking as her smile spread, managing to tuck her phone back into her pocket before she moved on scent. She supposed she should remember her speed and strength while moving but she didn’t. His scent was something she picked up on instantly and she was really surprised it took her knowing he was here to find him in the air but her smile spread as she ran, topping the walkway above the bridge and taking to a move human sprint, hopefully, as her eyes landed on him, welling up instantly and spilling over the moment her body collided with his.

He chuckled softly at her text, dark eyes moving over his surroundings to try and find her as he tucked his phone back into his jacket pocket. He wasn't used to New York winters but he was a walking heater and his leather jacket was more than enough to keep him warm on the bridge as he waited for...his best friend, someone who knew him better than he knew himself. Seeing movement, her turned toward her now, his features softening and he moved to meet her halfway, immediately stretching out his arms for her and scooping her with ease as they collided. Max held her tight, flexing his strength around her smaller body and he kissed her curls lightly, pulling in a scent he hadn't smelled in a long time. "Hey, you." he whispered, feeling his heart pound harder in his chest, just missing her and feeling a little surreal that he was here with her now. "Missed you."

Her arms wrapped more around his neck, never able to feel anything but comfort in how easily he picked her up into his arms and could somehow tuck her away from everything around her, make her feel like she was hiding against him every time her chin rested against his shoulder and her face turned slightly into his neck. His scent was something she knew, though slightly different in fragrance being in this city and that irony caught up to her a little. He was less familiar than he used to be, Nyx’s scent something nudging at her for being completely familiar in this new place, new but something that had yet to change the way Max’s had just in being here. “I don’t know her very well……just know that I want to know her more.” She mutters, releasing a soft sigh and letting her fingers flex into his hair at the nape of his neck as he carried her back to his brownstone. “Change is hard.” The words were simple but they spoke volumes to Marley. Change was hard for her, where she didn’t want change, or know how to change. It was hard when she felt so torn between wanting to be the piece that made Max happy, and the piece that made Nyx happy too. She knew she couldn’t be everything to both of them and even that thought made her mind want to recoil to neither of them just to punish herself for this and know they’d be better off without her. She hated the way her mind always battled, hated how exhausting it was and how it made her not want to move even more. “Promise a little.” She mutters, feeling tired all over again and content to just not move which probably offered Max nothing but dead weight but she was so quick to deflate herself lately when it came to herself personally. 

He held her with ease in his arms, moving back to his brownstone to open the door as he kept her close to his chest, arms wrapped around her and he relished in knowing she was safe at the very least, knowing that nothing in the world could touch her if she was right here. At lot was changing but even with the change, he found steadiness here, regardless of what they were or weren't because...she was his best friend. He knew he could turn to her, regardless, and he hoped she knew the same as he moved back upstairs now, hearing her words and nodding just softly. Max wasn't sure what to say, if there was anything to say to that, the simple fact that Marley wanted to know Nyx more and he didn't really think it needed his input. His eyes fell closed just for a second to her touch, the simple touch that relaxed him and his own hand moved to mimic it, brushing softly through Marley's curls as she spoke again and he moved to the couch to sit with her in his arms. "Change is hard." he agreed, not pretending to know to what degree Marley was struggling with it, but they'd gone through a lot of change in the last few weeks and sometimes he struggled to keep up, leading to part of the reason why he hardly left his house now. He wanted to catch up before he learned more new things. "But I've figured out it leads to growth....and...I know we’re going to be okay." he added quietly, hugging her a little closer and sitting back against the couch, tilting his head back enough just to see her for a moment. "Maybe a tiny...little bit more than a little?" he asked, the slightest smile twitching at his lips but just as quickly he was leaning forward to kiss her forehead, lingering there and pulling in her scent before he guided her back to his neck to hide her, to keep her safe. "Beer and a movie? Even though it's way before noon?
