When He is with Her - McXMax
I am still not over that there was finally an MCxMax date. Half a year ago, way before HWU i guess there was just two of us who ships Max with their MC’s. Months passed, the fandom grew thanks to HWU, and now Fantasy booth was introduced for HSS thanks to the wildly popular Amor in HWU.
So yay! Omigod you listened PB!! Hoping that the dating feature in HWU finally arrives and that the summer update arrives to ios. More power to you PB and more years to come.
Here is my answer to Pixelberry’s latest quests.
timeline : Level 30 (Expelled) sort of spoilerish
song inspiration : Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor
word count : 1933 words
ship : Elyon Darcy and Max Warren (What if they finally got together?)
Nana and Adelaide giggled as they secretly took a peek from the open halls of the parlour.
They were watching as their young master, Max Warren was seated in the sofa and cuddling his new red head girlfriend. The lovely red head was engrossed in typing their project with the netbook on her lap while Max had one arm over her shoulder and his the other was gently playing with her hair.
“She is so beautiful Nana! And so kind! Not unlike the previous red head! And those others he kept bringing here! She has a different effect on him doesn’t she? When he is with her… he is suddenly calm and gentle as well. But isn’t she Mr. Warren’s ex-girlfriend’s niece? ” whispered Adelaide the cook.
“Yes. That’s how they have met years ago. That’s why the young master doesn’t want us to rat him out to his father. Things are still very complicated between their families.” Replied Nana.
Mr. Warren was away for the night because he was busy preparing for a charity event at a country club the next day.
“Of course I won’t Nana. I have never seen the young master so happy like this before. And she is very kind to us as well. I’d like to keep it that way.” Agreed the cook.
Nana then turned her attention to the young couple. She has been in the service of the Warren family for so long. She was there since Max’s father has taken his first steps up until he got married and had children of his own.
“Aren’t you supposed to be making dinner Adelaide?” asked a deep voice.
The two jerked from their position and turned to see the tall butler Elton and their other young master, Mia standing behind them.
Mia tapped her foot and raised her brow.
Adelaide bowed down profusely.
“I just need a few more things my lady. It will be ready soon.” Said Adelaide as she rushed back to the kitchen. Elton turned to his wrist watch then shook his head and walked away while Nana turned to Mia.
“Welcome home my lady. How was cheer practice? My apologies my lady. We were just so excited to finally meet the young master’s new girlfriend.” Started Nana.
Mia cringed a little. She still couldn’t believe that Max and Elyon were finally official. She was still trying to get used to it. A couple of months ago, her best friend Elyon was plagued with tragedies. Her grandfather died. Her mom and aunts had a car accident that led them to temporarily lose control of the school and Elyon and some of her friends were expelled from their school because of some contraband fireworks. After that Elyon and Julian transferred to Hearst High and since then Max seemed to have started pursuing her. Mia was so shocked one afternoon when Elyon and Max arrived as dates when she held a pool party a month ago. She couldn’t believe that Elyon would even consider dating her brother who was making all their lives miserable during the past year. But here they were now, cuddling at their house.
“The young master looks so happy. It kind of reminds me when the young master was on high school days too.” Whispered Nana.
“Those days before dad had me and Max and he was forced to marry mom?” cut off Mia.
Mia sighed. She thought about her parents. Her dad met her mom at an auction back at college. They hit it off and her mom became pregnant. The two quickly had a grand wedding so as not to taint the Warren name. Things never worked out between her parents. Dad focused on the Warren Empire and gave little thought of his family, except probably on pushing his children to be the best of everything. Max was the golden child, the achiever, while Mia felt like she was a failure. Her parents’ marriage on the other hand ended in a divorce. When her dad was said to be dating this woman whom Nana mentioned was their dad’s first love, Mia was disgusted. She did all she could to avoid this mysterious woman. She thought that the woman was the reason why her dad and her mom never worked out. Nana would always think so highly of this woman and she’d hear her mention to the other helps that this woman was the only one who could calm the master down. When her dad and that woman broke up, Mia was relieved. The next thing she knew was this woman and her sisters built a school that rivalled the school the Warrens owned.
“I’m sorry my lady. That’s not what I meant.” Apologized Nana.
Mia took a peek at the parlour.
“You know, you look really good in Hearst’s school uniform. The green makes your red hair pop and it matches your eyes.” Muttered Max.
Elyon laughed as she closed the netbook and placed it in the coffee table.
“Seriously?” she said as she playfully whacked his arm.
“Sorry Red, but I’m made of pure muscle.” He teased as he flexed his arms.
“Well you’re going to need it because you’ll be going to football camp for a week.” Retorted Elyon.
“A week without me. How will you ever survive Hearst?” he continued to tease as he gestured as if he was in distress. Elyon simply wrapped her hands around his neck.
“I can manage that. Don’t worry. I’ve been thwarting all your sabotages against my school back then. Besides, Kara is on my side.Who else should I fear? That glee girl who has the hots for you? Lacey?” she enumerated as she gazed at Max’s blue eyes intensely.
Max couldn’t help but grin.
“That’s my girl.” He said as Elyon crawled on his lap and started nibbling on his neck.
“Oh my god!” gasped Mia all of a sudden.
She wasn’t prepared to see that. Yes they were official. But from Max messing their school and to see them messing around like this was very very weird for her.
Elyon quickly got of Max and turned to the Mia who entered the parlour.
“God no! I didn’t mean to pry! I mean! Um… awkward…” stammered Mia as Elyon simply laughed and rushed to Mia.
“It’s been sooo long! Mia! How are you? How was school there while I was gone?” Elyon shrieked as she gave Mia a tight hug. As Elyon hugged Mia, Mia saw from a corner of her eye that Max was glaring at her from the couch. He was grumbling and was obviously annoyed at Mia’s intrusion.
“When is the next band practice? I miss everyone. How are the others who transferred at Athena Academy?” Continued Elyon as she broke off from Mia.
“Next week since you and I will be attending my dad’s charity event tomorrow. Don’t forget that.” Reminded Mia.
Elyon nodded her head. She’s been in Hearst for a month already. It was not an easy transition. She remembered during her first day in Hearst, Max and Lacey tormented her like crazy.
A week after that though, Max seemed to have changed his mind and started pursuing her. Elyon was wary at first and wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a ploy of some kind. Elyon remembered how half of the women at school hated her when the entire Hearst found out that Max was wooing her. She remembered trying to enter the Glee club but Ariana, the star of the club tormented her. Elyon was quickly dubbed as the Scarlet Siren, the enchantress who seduced the King of Hearst for her own agendas. Then there was Lacey, who swore that she would get even with her. Her only ally at Hearst was Kara. Kara was friendly to her and even invited her to join the cheering squad. Kara had long moved on from Max and has forgiven Elyon. Kara is currently happy with her unexpected relationship with Nishan.
After two weeks of dating, Elyon finally relented to Max and they made things official.
People at Hearst no longer messed with her but they still hated her. It made Elyon miss her old friends and her old school.
“How about Wes…? Has anyone heard of him? I’ve tried going to his trailer once or twice. He wasn’t there. ” asked Elyon as she lowered her voice.
“Well…. No one has. He took your expulsion pretty badly.” Replied Mia.
“And why the hell are you two talking about that sketchy ex of yours?”Asked Max as he marched into the conversation. He quickly place his arms around Elyon’s waist.
“I miss my old school and all my friends. You know that.” Replied Elyon as she rested her head at his chest and sighed.
“My school belongs to my family… with my family in a complete disarray and how I lost control over our school. I feel like I failed my family and all those people at my school who needs my help.” She continued.
“Well you’re in Hearst now. You need to give yourself a break and focus on yourself. Just focus on that musical you’ve joined. You are Hearst’s Queen now and I’ll make sure no one messes with you.” He said as he pulled her closer.
Max gets completely nervous each time Elyon mentions that she wants to return to her old school. He hates to admit it but he is insecure and paranoid enough to think that if she returns there, she might get close to Wes again. Max knows that Elyon is as stubborn as he is, and she has a mind of her own. If she wants to return, she will return and he can’t do anything to stop her.
A soft chime rang and echoed throughout the parlour. They all turned to Elton who was holding the bell.
“Dinner is served. Now everyone please follow me.” He said dryly.
Elyon firmly held Max’s hand as the couple followed Elton. Mia trailed behind them, eyeing the odd couple closely.
Elyon paused for a minute, tiptoed to reach his tall and muscular boyfriend and whispered something to Max’s ear.
Max laughed and playfully ruffled his petite girlfriend’s hair.
The red head swatted his wiry arms away.
She pouted and pretended to be upset by folding her arms and walking away from him.
Max shook his head, gently tugged her arm and pulled her closer to him.
Then he placed an arm around her shoulders and kissed the crown of her head.
Mia blinked wildly and couldn’t believe that this was coming from two people who were trying to destroy each other’s schools.
Mia thought that Elyon was too kind and too good for her brother. But then again, she was a gentle soul who always saw some good in everybody while Max was still pretty much the jerk as he ever was. But when he is with her, he seemed to learn to control his temper. He also managed to deflate his ego…even just a tiny bit.
Then it hit her. Max and Elyon must have probably met each other when their dad and her aunt dated.
Perhaps something had brewed between them back then. But when their dad and her aunt turned into enemies, they had no choice but be rivals as well.
Who knew what could have happened between the two during the past year? There was probably more between them. All Mia knows is that Max is what Elyon wants and Elyon is what Max probably needs. As long as they are happy she supports them.
There's loving in your eyes That pulls me closer (Ooh it pulls me closer) It's so subtle (It's so subtle) I'm in trouble (I'm in trouble) But I'd rather be in trouble with you
oOo
Authoress notes : Hope you guys like it. Fingers crossed for more MCxMAx dates.
I feel like the whole Warren family is interesting. i want to know more bout their mom. I think Mr. Warren is a narcissistic parent and that’s why his children turn out like that.
i headcanon max and mia as twins. therefore they are both born on October 13
the success on their relationship depends on Max. He is a jerk and has a temper. he is used in getting what he wants and is sort of a control freak. he is insanely jealous and insecure with Wes or anyone who has their eyes on Elyon. Nana constantly compares them to his dad and her aunt. It all depends upon Max on whether he will follow his father’s path or not.
trying to insert a sidestory of my mc elyon in the story.i wish someone had transcripts of cause of death because i’d love to learn more about mysteries and stuff. elyon’s dilemma on the other hand is the mysterious person that is trying to tear her family apart.
i loved the latest quest level 31! Cant wait to know what happens next in HSS
