send me a ❣ if you want to be my valentine
Behind Blue Eyes
"Maxie," May let out a breath she’d been holding out in the form of a sigh, "You are managing to confuse me more than you do on a daily basis. Do I even need to tell you how much of an achievement that is?" she was trying to catch his eye with hers, but given he was doing everything and anything in his power to look away… it was proving to be difficult, "You might think you’re explaining yourself, but you’re really, really not! At this point, I’m actually deeply considering going to find Courtney to ask her if she knows what you’re talking about!" after all, for all the other woman’s quirks, she was concise, clear and altogether blunt, which at this point…. May decided was what she really needed. A bit of bluntness would go a long ways right about now, given that the more he spoke, the more she realized most of her questions were going unanswered. Not to mention the fact that those unanswered questions seemed to be breeding questions of their own, making for one rather vicious circle indeed.
That was, of course, until her mind more or less zeroed in on one small tidbit of information from right around the start of his little explanation; he was admitting to caring about her. Which wasn’t a particularly foreign notion for May. After all, she was what one would have described as a ‘care-er’. She cared deeply for those that allowed her to do so; hell, her biggest problem was that she cared even for those that wouldn’t allow themselves to be cared for. And that, right there, was when she realized two things; one was that, yeah, she cared back (after all, why else would she be potentially wasting her time trying to comfort him otherwise?). And two was that… he might potentially be trying to hint at something a little bit more deep than what she had initially thought he might.
The notion hit her like a freight train and needless to say, made for quite the obvious results; she found herself stopping mid rant and blinking owlishly in a vague attempt to process the new information her brain was feeding her.
"Is this… are you…?" and she stopped, because obviously, babbling was going to get neither of them nowhere. Taking a deep breath, and then she lifted a hand a patted his chest twice as he explained he’d really not drunk all that much at all, "Okay, yeah, good. Uhm… good thing I didn’t touch the stuff; unlike you, I can’t hold my liquor. But seriously, is all of this…" and here she waved a hand, indicating him and the situation they were in, "Because you care? Who do you think you are, Maxie? The Grinch?” her words didn’t really sound harsh, but rather, inquisitive, “Also, geesus, are you even going to give this ‘she’ a chance to decide, or are you just going to decide for her? Because that’s mean. Also rude. And I thought you fancied yourself a gentleman,” she then paused and gave him another small pat, obviously an attempt to drag him out of whatever self induced hole of… woe and misery that he’d dug himself in, “Also, you can call me May if you wish. I don’t run around calling you Mr. Maximillian, or Mr. Asher; those sound funny.”
Maxie felt truly defeated, he couldn’t let her ask Courtney. The Admin would surely tell her in a quite matter a fact manner. The man sighed and turned to face her. “Miss- er… May… I- I care about you far more than I should…” The redhead trailed off lost in her eyes and deep in his thoughts. “I apologize for what I’ve put you through today...” Another heavy sigh escaped the Magma Leader, “And I apologize for what I’m about to tell you. I can’t have you finding this out for Courtney or Tabitha for Arceus sake. I understand if you don’t come to the base anymore, and I fully understand if you’d hate me.“
Maxie stayed silent for a few beats. In his mind it seemed like forever. He had no idea how to break to the Hoenn Champion, the same woman who’d saved the region and called him out for literally being the world’s largest dumbass that he simply didn’t just care, but that he loved her. Well at least he thought this was love felt like… It had been quite the number of years since he’d been with someone.
“May… I really was hoping I could just keep this to myself, but I know if I do you’ll ask one of my admins and frankly I know they’d enjoy that far too much.” A smirk appeared on his face just thinking about how his admins would react to knowing he’d actually fessed up. He nervously ran a hand through his long red locks. “May I don’t just care... I... I think I’m in love?” Maxie’s face instantly grew hot and turned a shade to match his hair.
Well I suppose it is that time of year again isn't it...
Behind Blue Eyes
"Because I say so!” using the leverage she had through her hold on him, she allowed one of her hands to raise and drop back on his shoulder in a small smack, “Stop it!” her words were punctuated by another smack of his shoulder, “You gave me that stupid suit. You spoke to me through that stupid, stupid suit and told me what to do!” because honestly, if he’d not told her to jump onto Groudon’s back, she would have never done so. Who in their sane minds would have? “Just because you weren’t there, doesn’t mean you didn’t help! And it certainly doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help!”
The proximity was strange, but then again, May had always been a tactile person, and thus, was not entirely thrown for loop. What was strange, however, was his reaction to her. On one hand, she clearly felt him relax a notch, which she counted as a win on her part, and though the fact he burrowed into her, (nuzzled her?) was entirely out of character… so had been a number of things he’d done since he’d drunk the wine. On the other hand, however, were his words, which not only greatly contradicted what he was telling her through his actions, but was really, really confusing her, “What unthinkable thing? What are you even talking about?”
Despite everything he said, he wasn’t pushing her away, so she held on for a few beats longer, before her damnable curiosity got the best of her, “Just how drunk are you?” her mind kept telling her that… not very, really. She’d seen the bottle, almost full, and he’d not taken a sip since she’d arrived. So unless he’d drowned another bottle before she’d gotten here… he should simply be slightly buzzed. Not that her estimate was helping much, because he was seriously confusing her.
Allowing herself to sigh in an attempt to calm herself down (him being so near a break down was actually doing strange things to her), she pulled away from him slightly, moving her hands to his cheeks so she could look him in the eye from a short distance; as if that would somehow shed light, “Explain?” she asked, and then made a frustrated, clicking sound with her tongue against her teeth, “Stop apologizing! You’ve done nothing wrong! I’m the one that barged in here; I should’ve knocked. Please, just explain what you’re talking about? I’m not leaving until you do; and even when I do,” her eyes narrowed a bit, “I am going to make sure to hound you when you’re entirely sober. I didn’t know you were wallowing… didn’t you say, and I quote, that you wanted to have fun? To enjoy life? Do it! I forgive you.”
And honestly, if she could forgive him, shouldn’t almost everyone else, too?
Maxie sighed as she moved away. “I- I… no…” He slowly shook his head and looked down solemnly. “I care about you far too much ok? Jus- Just hear me out.” He looked deep into her clear blue eyes. “Miss Maple to be frank it’d be very wrong of me. It’s just not meant to be…” The fiery haired man looked away from May quickly trying to hide how much it pained him to say those words. “A man like me could never entertain the thought of something so wonderful.” His words were spewed like a deadly venom through his clenched teeth.
“Honestly I had maybe a glass or two not much…” He shrugged his slender shoulders. “Mmmm probably just enough to feel… alright…. To feel like myself.” A slight worried look passed his face and was soon gone as soon as it came. “I- I’m just so wound up most of the time, stressed that I might mess up… Might make a wrong move… It’s not exactly a cakewalk being in my position.” A small chuckle escaped his lips. “I just drink here or there… and really just to loosen up a tad. Sometimes I get so invested in my work I just need to forget about it.”
He laughed, “For once Tabitha and Courtney were right I really do need to get out more… Look at me…” A frown tugged at the corners of his mouth. “I the great and powerful Maximillian Asher has been reduced to a depressed heap who cowers in his office…” He shuddered at his own words and sighed. “She deserves better than me” He thought to himself, “Better than a jaded sad excuse for a man.”
Behind Blue Eyes
The fact he allowed himself to be ushered towards the couch like a Mareep should have been warning bell enough. But then… then, he tucked his knees under his chin and May lifted her gaze up to the ceiling of the office and silently asked Arceus ‘Why me?’
Oh, lord all-mighty, the man was going to kill her when he sobered up and realized what he was doing and what he was letting her see. She just hoped he’d forethought of either not installing security cameras inside his own office… or at least switching them off before he started drinking. But then again, given he’d not locked his door, and the fact the Gods seemed to having a lot of fun with the current situation, there was a slim chance of her prayers being answered.
Still, no matter just how strange it was to see him in such a state, she could not deny the situation was tugging her heartstrings a bit. A lot, if she was honest with herself; she was an emphatic creature by nature and she simply couldn’t walk out on him as things were (though she underlined her need to have a good, long talk with him once he sobered up; with bright red ink), “Maxie,” he refused to look at her, and she made a frustrated noise in the back of her throat before sitting down beside him on the couch, facing his way, with a leg under her frame, “Maxie! Look at me; We’re stopping this. You’re stopping this right now!” her hand had reached out to grab his arm and she tugged at it insistently, “For a genius, you’re an idiot, you know that? But you’re not a bad man,” she huffed a bit at this, almost as if upset he wasn’t seeing eye to eye with her, but then again, what else was new? The strange part was that she was the one advocating for him, where as he seemed intent on condemning himself, “A bad man wouldn’t be sitting here, wallowing over his wrongdoings! A bad man would relish!”
Death row.
Well, that sure as hell got a reaction out of her; before she knew what she was doing, she dropped his arm and then wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a hug because she simply couldn’t take this. That amount of self loathing was not normal by a long shot, “You helped,” she told him, “That magma suit made it possible, and it was your stupid meteorite… the one you surrendered to me that Rayquaza needed,” she took a couple of deep breaths when she realized she was actually near tears, swallowing, “You helped.”
“Pfft why? Give me one reason again why?” The man crossed his arms with a huff. “I just… ah… I don’t deserve any of this… The pleasantries of sitting in my office and drinking to The Who… Sitting here with you of all people.” Maxie’s voice intensified as he spoke, as he was clearly agitated.
The man fell silent for a moment, he looked as if her were mentally waging war on himself. “I- I... shouldn’t be allowed to be so lucky to be in your presence. You should hate me for what I’ve done… for what I’ve put you through…” His hands rose to cover his face. Maxie didn’t have the heart nor guts to let her see him tear up.
Out of nowhere she hugs him. The thin man is stunned, so badly in fact he’s not even sure if any of this is real. Of course he’d secretly in the depth of his own thoughts had feelings towards her but this, THIS just couldn’t be happening even if it was just to comfort him. “M- m- Miss Maple… I.. no I didn’t help I cowered in fear while you save the day… I.. I don’t deserve this…” His words were muffled and quiet.
He bit his lip a bit she was hitting a serious soft spot that he couldn’t ignore. His admins had taken to teasing him about his crush over the past few months. It started as an innocent joke oddly enough, stemming from how highly he praised her for saving his sorry ass. But then it slowly crept up on him, his thoughts would drift to her during his work. He’d scurry off in an opposite direction if he’d see her around the base, not just because he saw himself unworthy of her, but because of the creeping red blushing mess his face would turn into. Tabitha had especially taken a liking to teasing him and getting him all flustered. As he’d tell Maxie when May was about causing Maxie to run off and hide in his quarters and try, TRY to distract himself.
Maxie unconsciously burrowed himself against her, feeling a bit more at ease. “I just… ah… no… I can’t do yet another unthinkable thing to you… even if it was just a small confession. That- that’d be just… too unforgivable.” A heavy sigh heaved its way out of the distraught man. It was bad enough he loathed himself because of Groudon but this was just too much for him. He kept telling himself it wasn’t right, she’s too young, too naïve, and too good for him. Who was The Great Maxie criminal extraordinaire to think he had even one hundredth of a shot with May Maple Hoenn champion. He was delusional for such a thought.
Maxie shook his head, “No… I’m sorry… sorry for all of this. I should’ve locked my door…”
Behind Blue Eyes
May found herself falling pray yet again to the Magikarp routine. Not just because the surrealism of the whole situation was kicked up once more, yet another notch, but because she simply didn’t know how to respond to it all. Granted, it was true she was doing him a disservice by daring to ponder that she knew how he ticked, having only known him for a rather short amount amount of time (not to mention within a given set of circumstances which greatly diminished the range of emotion and sets of behaviors he could display), but still. One could not really expect to see a fish fly.
Unless it was a Mantine, her mind pointed out with no short amount of humor.
It took May around 0.3 seconds to realize she was comparing Maxie to a Mantine. And that, in turn, made her let out a defeated sigh, because obviously, if she was entertaining such thoughts while she was sober, it meant that perhaps she was further gone than he was. Which was saying something.
Her head turned to offer him a blank look, “Maxie. I was, until this very moment, entirely and completely convinced that the word ‘play’ wasn’t in your vocabulary,” she made a hand gesture towards him as he threw himself onto the couch, “No! I just… I… it’s not that I can’t take you seriously it’s just… I don’t know!” there was a pause, and then, “Oh-my-god did you just say ‘ol’? Did you just slur words together? No more wine for you, Mister,” as he got up to go to reset the record player, she headed to his desk, picking up the bottle to glare daggers at the words written on the label. Wine didn’t even have such high alcohol levels, and despite everything, she didn’t even think he was as much intoxicated as he simply was loosened up.
But seriously, if that was the case, what did that say about how tightly wound up he usually was?
Her examination of the label was cut short by his voice, requesting her to listen to the music she’d previously not really paid full attention to. The lyrics finally slipped into her mind and thus, processed, but it was clear from her frown that either something wasn’t clicking with her, or that she didn’t agree, “You see yourself in that song?” well, she’d been toying with the idea of having a nice, long chat with him once he sobered up, but after that small piece of info, May made mental note to make that chat happen in the near future, “You’re not a bad man. Misguided, stubborn, infuriating… sure, but not bad," for all her genius in battle, it didn’t click in her mind that he might emphasize with the rest of the lyrics of the song, and thus, didn’t draw conclusions on that; so far out of the realm of possibility was it, that she didn’t even entertain the thought.
In the process of listening, she’d decided that one drunk participant in the conversation was enough though (she had rather low alcohol tolerance as it was), for she settled the bottle back on the table and walked to him, “I can do that,” she grabbed hold of his arm and guided him to the couch, probably worried he would fall over, even despite the fact she hadn’t seen him sway. At all. His behavior was odd enough that… she wasn’t entirely sure just how far gone he was, “Been doing that. Dunno if you’ve noticed. But I-ah… I kind of thought you thought me a bit of a nuisance. So er… I don’t er always come to your office when I visit the base. I come here almost daily. I just… don’t come annoy you every time; I kinda figured you’d take back your offer if I did.”
Maxie felt defeated as he sighed. "But that's the thing Miss Maple... I am a bad man…. A good man doesn’t raise Groudon from its sleep and almost decimate the region.” He bowed his head in shame. “A good man wouldn’t have lost most of his friends outside of his own Team either… It’s not like I can just reintegrate myself into society when everyone seems me as the man who almost destroyed well… everything…”
He slumped into the couch and brought his knees under his chin. The man looked like a mere child, scared and fearful of the world around him. “Besides I’m surprised really that I’m not locked up or on death row for what I’ve caused… I’m-“ His words fell short as he pondered whether he should actually verbalize the end to his sentence. “I’m lucky… I’m lucky that you saved my ass…”
Maxie looked away from the young woman as he couldn’t bear to see her reaction to his words. He just knew it’d hurt too much. He’d taken notice of her stopping by the base however. He’d see her in passing but never bothered her seeing himself as a nuisance to her. In all honesty Maxie thought himself more a nuisance than he’d ever thought of May back in the old days. “Miss Maple Id’ never think you a nuisance after what you’ve done for me…” The fiery haired man looked over at her with a sincere half smile. “I’ve realized so much thanks to you.” A slight blush grew on his face.
Behind Blue Eyes
It only half registered with Maxie that May had never seen this side of him. Then again no one had really, he preferred to drink in solitude. He’d later be regretting not locking the office door behind him…
“Yeh, maybe just a tad,” the thin man admitted.
Maxie was just influenced enough to loosen up, but honestly when the man was stiffer than a board that was enough for people to take notice.
Another chuckle bubbled from him, “Now May that’s a bit of a shallow analysis of me… I’m rather busy running an organization such as this.” Maxie swept his arms up in a grand fashion that likely looked quite silly.
“Mmmm yes I rather enjoy classic rock… But really May there’s more to work and volcanoes. I like a good glass of wine to go with an equality superb vinyl, I like… ah well… maybe if you come around more often?” Maxie trailed off getting lost in his own thoughts.
"greatshenanigans:
May found herself opening her mouth… and then promptly closing it with a shake of her head; the situation so surreal at the moment that she couldn’t handle speech properly. Because he was drunk. He openly admitted to it, even if he claimed it was ‘just a tad’.
"You’re lucky I’m above filming you," she told him with a huff. She was answer with another chuckle though (another honest-to-Arceus chuckle!), and had May not had a few seconds to process the whole scene and the situation around her, she figured she would have laughed. Possibly hysterically. It was either that or just toss her arms in the air and walk out of the room; either way, it was a close tie in her head, “Maxie,” she stressed the word as she spoke, her hand lowering her tickets she’d been holding and slipping it into her bag, figuring that given his state of mind at the moment, he was lost to the world; she’d have to ask him to join her later, since now was simply not the time, “May I remind you that 'running an organization such as this', as you claim, falls right smack in the middle of my previously claimed ‘work’ and 'never leaving the office’,” given she was now standing next to him, and that he was actually taller than her, if even just slightly, she was forced to tilt her head up at him so she could offer him a smug look, “I win.”
Just what exactly it was that she was winning… she had no idea, really. Nothing good, probably.
"Good lord," she drawled in a deadpan, "Someone get me a voice recorder… did I just hear The Great and Powerful Maxie tell me that there’s more to life than work and volcanoes?" she leaned in dramatically, lowering her voice to a whisper, "Who are you and what did you do to Maxie?”
See, despite the ridiculousness of the situation at hand, all that had happened till then fell into a set of ‘acceptable’ parameters that May figured were well and truly fine.
It was the last few choice words that threw her for a loop, “Come again?” it took her a tick or two to process what he’d said, or at least… what she thought he’d implied, “You want me to come around more often? As in… you like it? Or…?” her gaze rolled over towards the wine, innocently sitting on his table, “I hope you’re done with that, by the way. Either that or share. Because I’m apparently way too sober to be having this conversation.”
"What? What's so funny Miss Maple? Can't take ol' Maxie seriously?" he mused.
"You can't possibly think that I'm all work no play?"
The man couldn't help but laugh a bit as she asked what had he done to Maxie.
"Mmmm nothin' maybe jus' decided I'm not getting any younger and I might as well enjoy myself?"
The man frowned, since he'd started Team Magma he seldom had time for his own adventures. Frankly May was right he never did leave the office...
"Here's the thing... After... er... well everything that happened I realized I need to live and enjoy things while I can." He sighed heavily and slumped down into the couch.
"I easily could have been arrested... or... put to de-" He cut off abruptly as the needle of the vinyl he'd been playing clicked to a close.
The man rose slowly and moved to the other side of the room just to play the same song as just before May arrived.
"Listen..."
'No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be'
"So uh forgive me but you might see why I like your company..."
I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free 'No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you'
The Magma Leader blushed slightly and looked away from her.
"Ye- Yes. I think I'd like that... You around here more often." He smiled slightly and lifted the bottle.
"You're welcome to it if you'd like."
Behind Blue Eyes
Maxie sighed, “I really need to start taking better care of myself…”
The past few months had been grueling for the organization. Quite a decent chunk of employees had left to peruse more stable work as Team Magma worked haphazardly at rising from its own ashes. Maxie had been working himself ragged trying to do some damage control in the form of their reputation as a serious group. He’d been trying to figure out how to harness the true potential of geothermal energy to help around Hoenn.
The fearsome leader normally would have been in a fiery rage of yelling and vulgarities at the sight of someone barging into his office. Although given the visitor and amount of wine he’d had over the past two hours had changed his views on the subject significantly. Maxie was actually quite bubbly given the situation.
The fiery haired man turned his head to face her “Ah, uh… Miss Maple nice to see you.” A small smile crossed his face.
Maxie chuckled at how surprised she looked and imagined how out of place he must look to her. “Ah, well I like many things Miss Maple.”
May’s arm (which had still been hovering in the air), slowly lowered down to her side as she watched on. The tickets clutched in her hand were very swiftly forgotten in favor of the very many… things that were slightly wrong with the scene in front of her.
For starters, there was too much smiling going on. Not to mention the fact she was dead sure he’d chuckled at her, and honestly, nothing was right with the world at that point, “Uhm,” she paused, took a look around the room and then squinted at him, “Are you drunk?” at that point, that was the most prominent thought in her mind, swiftly followed by something along the lines of 'that really isn't the music I'd have thought he'd pick'.
But then again, whom was she to judge?
Still, she couldn’t help the snort that escaped through her nose at his words, “Really? Could’ve fooled me. I thought you list of interests were reduced to, let’s see; land, fire and brimstone, magma, volcanoes, work, never leaving the office and probably shorts, if your clothes are anything to go by,” as she spoke, she’d been counting physically against her fingers, approaching him step by step until she was right in front of him, “What else do you like?” and then, as an after thought, she raised her hand and waved the tickets about in front of him, “Wanna come battle with me? I got an invitation for the battle resort, and am expected to find a partner,” a pause followed as she tilted her head, “Interesting choice of music.”
It only half registered with Maxie that May had never seen this side of him. Then again no one had really, he preferred to drink in solitude. He’d later be regretting not locking the office door behind him…
“Yeh, maybe just a tad,” the thin man admitted.
Maxie was just influenced enough to loosen up, but honestly when the man was stiffer than a board that was enough for people to take notice.

Behind Blue Eyes
It’d been a long week at Magma HQand Maxie was starting to crack under the stress. He’d taken to hunkering down in his office with a bottle of red wine and a large fuzzy maroon blanket.
His favorite The Who vinyl was approaching the end of side one. The thin man rose and trudged to the player with a sigh. Out of habit he skipped over the first song. A slight smile tugged at his face as ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ filled the room. Grinning like a fool the now blushing Maxie curled up on the couch once more.
Life… had gone back to normal.
Or, well, as normal as life got for May at any rate, which was to say, not much at all. But still! Her days were no longer occupied by running around Hoenn, half blind in her need for justice as she battled her way through secret, environmental-terrorist organisations. That had to count for something! Except that… on the other hand, instead of battling her way through said organisations, she was now not just on talking terms with its members, but on kind of, maybe, sort of shaky friendships with the leaders. If one tilted their head just so anyhow.
Life was not boring, at any rate.
Specially not now, as she made her way through the rather desert Magma base, on hand waving around a pair of pieces of paper. The grin she sported as she walked along seemed to indicate that she was two steps away from skipping along; after all, it wasn’t every day that one was invited to the battle resort. She’d been elated upon receiving the tickets and well, out of all the people she knew, there was one, she felt, that really should get out more. He would surely benefit from leaving that damn office, and given he was probably doing nothing to rectify what May by now considered to be a very big problem indeed… she figured it was up to her.
Which brought her to the here and now, as she knocked on his door and then promptly slipped into his office without waiting for his answer, “Heeeey! Maxie!” her hand waved the two tickets as she closed the door behind her with a deft kick of her foot, “I want you-” and here she stopped short, not realizing just how awkward a stopping point that was, apparently distracted by both the fact he was drinking… and the music.
This made for an awkward scene, as May stood, blinking owlishly over at him from the door way, hand still held up, tickets on display, “I didn’t know you liked wine,” she said, “I didn’t know you liked music….” in fact, something about the way she innocently spoke seemed to indicate she didn’t know he liked anything other than volcanoes.
Maxie sighed, “I really need to start taking better care of myself…”

She’s instantly on her feet and going over to help him up.
"Oh no - are you okay-?"
Talking to both Maxie and the Skitty, which was able to dodge out of he way in time to not get caught too badly. Although since it was accepting the petting with good grace, she had to assume it wasn’t too startled, either.
"No harm done, see?"
She smiled at him, trying not to laugh despite how odd he looked out of uniform, not to mention the sand everywhere.
"Heh… Yeah I suppose. Your Skitty seems to like me enough despite my tumble."
The thin man patted the Skitty on the head and stood up to face the girl.
"What’s so funny Miss Maple?" Maxie asked upon noticing her obvious smirk.
She rolls her eyes as the kitten leans into the rub. and then “Poffin stays at home usually, but for a while it travelled with me after I caught it while I was staying in Rustboro, so he’s used to having to move quickly.”
She shakes her head. “Nothing - it’s just, odd. Seeing you all dressed like a normal person. Not a bad odd though!”
The man turns his head a bit giving her a questioning gaze.
"What do you- Oh..." His face turned just the faintest shade or red.
"Ha- yes I guess so. I've been leaving the uniform in the closet lately..." Maxie trailed off slightly.
"People don't bother me as much." He reached to scratch his head nervously.
