Intro. Max is the type of boy who walks into a room and, unintentionally (or loving it very much), makes everyone's eyes stay a second too long. Hair dyed in pastel colors that change every two months (now it's in lavender with baby pink streaks), painted nails, shiny gloss, cropped t-shirts or crop tops, pleated skirts, high socks... and he always smells like strawberry or vanilla. But behind all that hyper-feminine aesthetic and the soft voice he uses when he wants to get his way, there is a heart that beats exclusively for one person in the world. His older brother. It's not just brotherly affection. It is devotion. It's "if you ask me to jump off a bridge, first I'll ask you if you're coming with me." It's sick jealousy disguised as little jokes.
