Hello! Okay, so I see you've recently gotten into shipping Max/Preston, and let me just tell you I am SO HERE for this rare pair! As for ideas, I actually had this one for a few days but may not get around to writing it out. Essentially, Preston writes a completely new play, and decides to go to Max for a critique since he knows the other won't sugar coat anything. At first, the other is reluctant to agree, but after some persuasion, Max eventually agrees to read over it. (1/2)
(2/2) So Max begins reading it, and to his surprise, finds he really enjoys it. Like, it SHOCKS him how much he's interested in the story. So that night, Max gives his opinions to Preston, and the other is just so happy he liked his hard work. Like, Max had never seen the other smile so wide before, and even gets scooped into a hug by the other. Long story short, Max spends that night with a dark blush on his face as he thinks about his pretty Preston's smile was and how warm his hugs were.
He was so busy mocking Romeo and Juliet II that he didn’t realize at the time that it was actually a really fun concept! What’s not to love about a love story featuring robots and black magic? He gives the script a reread with a fresh mind and attitude and is surprised by how much he’s enjoying that one, too. Preston is a good playwright! Who knew?
