I was watching a reality tv show on Netflix (the thing is called dated & related 💀) and got hit by a vision.
It's one of those dating reality tv shows where everybody is straight to the point where it's painful. They're all arranged in pretty little pairs, claiming they're here to find love but they just want the money and the followers.
Anyway Max is part of the male contestants, trying to find somebody he doesn't mind maxplaining to, lounging in the pool, missing his video games mostly.
A week later or something when there's new contestants Daniel enters the villa. And Max gets the wind knocked of him a little bit, he flinches on camera. But. It's okay, it's normal, probably he's worried that the girls he's been talking to will prefer Daniel.
They end up hanging out together a lot, they get on well. Max is gonna end up with very visible abs from laughing that much. They go on a double date together and they are flirting with the girls but. Their feet are touching under the table. Daniel puts sunscreen on Max before he passes out on the loungers while Daniel's in a floater playing with his stupid sunglasses for the girls to giggle.
Boys&girls pairs come and go and Max is beaming off camera because Daniel made a sex joke that can definitely NOT be aired.
They both go quite far into the show. Max bc surprisingly the girls like him, he's no bullshit and won't do petty drama kissing other people and whatnots. On the other hand the fact that he's so brutally honest gets him into fights and he brings audience so the production loves it. And Daniel obviously is so charming & funny & ridiculous he's a fan favorite, they won't vote him out, he'll win the show probably.
Then Daniel wins some kind of challenge and he can choose one person to go on a date with. Everybody except him to choose that one girl he's often with because he's not seriously looking at anybody else and she thinks they're a couple (Daniel's just staying with her because it's convenient, easy, her bff on the show is always hanging out and flirting with Max so he can be near him unsuspiciously). And so Daniel has to choose, he's facing all of them but he's only looking at Max. And then he decides "fuck it" and on fucking live TV he says: I'll take Max with me. For the date. And everybody think it's a joke and they're laughing weirdly like when the situation is inconfortable. But it's not. It's not a joke. And then they're all shocked but Max is just smiling and starting into Daniel's eyes and then they go.
(Waaaay after when they get married the production call them to make a show on their wedding process. Max has never hanged up so quickly.)
I would read 70k of that but I would NOT write it 😭
