-- rayden had never been a huge fan of public displays of affection. it stemmed from his own personal preference but also from when he used to date bellamy as a good portion of their relationship was hidden from others for a good amount of time. to him, he just didn’t see the point or attraction of being all up on each other, it normally just made those around you uncomfortable and that’s the last thing he wished upon anyone. still, this unexplained and unwarranted kiss from maxie in the school hallway had him completely forgetting about where they were as he relaxed effortlessly into the kiss. maxie had that effect on him, just a simple touch from the other could have him completely melting. with his back pressed firmly against the cool metal from the lockers, eyes finally open slowly as they parted. “what was that for?” he questions in a small whisper, clearly taken back from the sudden affection.
