maxdesignpro x nugget yeahhh

Max had never really questioned his sexuality at all.

He didn't know what "LGBTQ" or any of that stuff was. The word gay to him was just seen as an insult people would call others in a joking manner. But apart from that, Max couldn't quite grasp the concept of being gay or anything like it. So he just ignored it. And that only made his life more confusing. In his words, here was no need to worry about things anyway as long as he had his friend Nugget.

Speaking of him, Max and Nugget were just walking over to Nugget's house to play video games. Max usually ended up getting angry because he sucked at them, but he stayed, for he enjoyed Nugget's company. For some reason though, today Max was feeling a little.. off whenever he was around him. Like.. kind of how he would feel around a girl whenever she would look at him for about 0.1 seconds. He shook his head. Maybe if he ignored this feeling it would go away.

But it only got stronger from there.

While Max was zoned out and wondering to himself he accidentally walked into the door of Nugget's house. "AH!.. oh.." Nugget laughed and opened the door as Max stood there looking confused before following after. He awkwardly sat down on the couch as if he'd never been in his house before, unsure what to do or say incase he made the situation even more awkward. Nugget noticed this and wanted to make sure Max was okay. He hopped onto the couch and looked at him. When Max didn't say anything, he began to speak with concern in his voice.

"Uh, Max?.." Max's ears pricked up as his eyes darted over to face him, "are you okay? You haven't said much since we started walking together." Oh. He wasn't sure how to reply. What was wrong with him today? Normally by now they'd already be playing something. He slowly started zoning out again when Nugget spoke again. "It's fine. Let's just watch something instead. I know you tend to get worked up over games.." when Nugget grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, he subconsciously rested his other hand on Max's shoulder.

And while he didn't notice that he did this, Max immediately did. Max stared his hand, sweating profusely. He questioned himself, 'What's wrong with me?.. Why do I feel like this?..' he shook his head once more and replied to Nugget's suggestion, "Oh.. yeah.. let's watch something. Good idea." Nugget removed his hand suddenly as he watched the show on the TV intently. Max also tried to enjoy it, but kept glancing at Nugget,  a bittersweet feeling washing over him whenever he was caught doing it.

"I can change the channel if you don't like it."
"Wh what?.." Max jumped a little, "oh no, it's fine. I'll watch it. Sorry."
Nugget was still certain something was wrong with him but kept watching anyway. The episode ended and the adverts were now playing. At this point Max hadn't noticed this, and was just staring at Nugget smiling like an idiot. Nugget looked over and Max nearly fell off the couch in shock. He looked away in embarrassment, wanting to go home and just scream.

With a faint but genuine smile Nugget grabbed his arm, Max still looking away but sweating heavily when he did this. "You can tell me if there's anything wrong Max, you're my best friend in the whole world and I care about you a lot." Max's heart dropped and the words 'best friend' echoed in his head. Still he turned to face Nugget and smiled, his face extremely red. "Thank you.. Nugget.. for caring about me.. but I'm fine. Honestly! Everything's fine."

As soon as Max got home later that day he ran into his room, put a pillow over his face and screamed.
He was in love. And not with a girl. But his one and only friend...
