thissss whole scene from gumtrees is my fav. sweet boys, daniel driving to perth at 3am to go pick up max from the airport <3
-
It's eerily silent during the drive back to the farm. Daniel still plays music, but it's low as the hum of the engine rocks Max to sleep. Daniel doesn't want to spook Max to the point he goes running, but he can't help but look over at him at every red light out of the city, to make sure Max isn't a figment of Daniel's imagination, to make sure he doesn't disappear.
Perfect and long eyelashes sit delicately on his cheeks, Daniel commits every freckle on his face to memory. He's in awe of Max, how the sun drapes across his cheeks through the windows, how every sharp edge of his face seemingly softens under the morning light.
Daniel almost regrets having to wake Max up from the sleep he so clearly needs when they eventually make it to the farm. If Daniel's dad is awake, there are no hints of it, no footprints in the dirt that leads to the pigs, no disturbed shoes on the front porch.
It makes Daniel feel like a teenager again, and he has to stop himself from laughing. Sneaking someone into the house at 6 in the morning wasn't on his to-do list for today, but it's Max, and because it's Max, it's okay.
