IRRESPONSIBLE & UNMOTIVATED.

💚 for a forehead kiss

         Purple and gold melt into one another, the last vestiges of daylight giving way. It’s hard not to gaze at the halo of light that lines her silhouette and say with certainty that god did not exist in that moment. 

         There’s so much Max is dying to say to her, so many professions of adoration, of friendship, of obsession infatuation. Instead, he leans in wordlessly, a smile tugging at the sides of his face. Careful to not disturb the painstaking work put into her hair-- he’d been chewed out by more than one woman over such a thing -- his lips plant sweetly on her forehead, lingering for a millisecond before his body shifts into a slump, fiddling with the hem of her coat.

✨ Max used to spend every summer in Baton Rouge with his great uncle and aunt until he started college. He has always wanted to go back to participate in Mardi Gras, but hasn’t had the time or money.

✨ With the invention of home video game systems, Max would become obsessed with Pong and compete in competitions for a few years before getting bored and moving on to other games. He’s a fan of arcades.

✨ He had gone to meetings for Vietnam vets for a few months before Jude returned to the US, stopping for a long while once he assumed his life would fall back into place with his friend back. He didn’t start going again until the late 70s, when he started feeling disillusioned when his lifestyle and mental state were no longer synced up.

OPINION ON TRUE LOVE: He believes that you can fall for someone, but there’s not always just one person for everyone. His views on love are very tinted by his parents’ almost cold relationship and his experiences living with hippies. Love is love, and it can be shared between multiple people. OPINION ON LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: Doesn’t exist.  HOW ‘ROMANTIC’ ARE THEY?: He’s romantic, but not in a strictly traditional sense. He’s really good at remembering your favorites and keeping track of dates, but forget it if you want flowers or grand gestures. He leaves that up to Jude. IDEAL PHYSICAL TRAITS: He’s a breast man. If you have nice boobs, he’s interested. He also likes blondes. Big doe eyes. He’s into the whole innocent vibe too. IDEAL PERSONALITY TRAITS: Compassionate, has the same sense of humor or at least tolerates his weird twisted humor. He also needs someone who is patient.

AVERAGE RELATIONSHIP LENGTH: Usually it’ll last about a month or two. He has short, passionate relationships and gets bored easily. PREFERRED NON-SEXUAL INTIMACY: Laying in bed smoking. COMMITMENT LEVEL: He’s like the least committed person ever, but rarely will cheat. If you are someone he truly does fall for, he will stay forever. OPINION OF PUBLIC AFFECTION: He loves it, man. PAST RELATIONSHIPS?: Multiple girls, but most are very short relationships. His longest was in early college, and it ended very badly.
