the conflux

pete closes his eyes and thinks. a thought bubble leads down to the next image. various asks and reblogs. anon: Peter ask them what happened at the Waylon place. anon: Ask Max and Grace how their relationship started. anon: Have him ask Max when he started acting nicer to him and his friends. cosmamoon: ask them what their relationship is like! It seems to be different than from in NPMD. nabwastaken: what are grace's thoughts on dirty dudes, and also are they together or not? pangothepangolin: To Grace, have you lost your bracelet recently?

PETE: Okay, I’ll let you in, but you have to answer one question for me first.

max and grace behind the door, looking concerned.

PETE: Back in October, what happened that night at the Waylon place?

grace speaks, her face red and brows furrowed. max also speaks, with a relaxed smile.

GRACE: What, don’t you remember? We planned a prank on Max because he was too sexy— I mean, because he was a bully.

MAX: Yeah, Steph told me there was a party. You guys pulled a sick prank with ghosts and skele'uns and shit. It made me realize you’re actually pretty cool.

a split panel. the first shows max, falling through the floorboards at the waylon place. he's looking up at the camera, shouting with tears in his eyes. just below the camera is grace, reaching a hand down to grasp max's. her WWJD bracelet is falling into the darkness below. there are eye-like patterns in the broken floorboards. the second panel is max, safely on the floor and clinging to grace. his arms are around her neck and he's shaking, eyes squeezed shut. grace is blushing, a little confused, and has a hand on his arm.

MAX: I almost fell ‘cause that place is old as fuck, but Grace caught me.

MAX: And then I didn’t cling to her for an hour afterwards, because I’m super chill and not a pussy.

GRACE: It was nice. It’s what made me have a talk with my parents and they agreed that maybe I’m ready for carrying books and cuddling, as long as it’s nothing below the waist!

pete gives a small smile.

PETE: (That’s exactly what I remember. Well, Max did cling to Grace for the rest of the night, but he’s not a very good liar. I can tell he’s just trying to act cool about it.)

zoom out to view the computer lab as pete opens the door. he's pushed away the chair that was previously blocking it. max and grace stand right outside.

PETE: Alright. You can come in.

MAX: Great! Thanks, man.
