Max's heart would bet faster if he even thought about it for a second. His hands were fidgety and his mind was racing with words to say.

You were only a few feet in front of him, copying and printing papers for schedules and other things you didn't mind noticing.

Max took a deep breath and started approaching you.

"H-hey (Y/N)." He tried to push the nervousness away by shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hey Max!! What's up?" You replied casually. You were good at pushing weird moments aside: just pretend they never happened.

"The sky." Max snickered. You rolled your eyes starting to file all the papers from the printer.

"Very funny. Seriously though, you probably have something to say." Your incentive tone made Max blush. The corner of your mouth turned into a half smile, waiting for Max to speak.

"I-uhm..." He paused for a second. "I was wondering.. if you would like to go out on... a date.. with me..." Max's voice wavered, his hand rubbing the back of his neck. This time, you felt your face heating up. You picked up the papers and rested them on your arm.

"I would love to." You put a hand on his bicep, smiling up at him.

"I gotta get back to work, but just text me on what you wanna do and what time. I'm free tonight or tomorrow, your choice." You stated with a shrug, briefly before walking past Max. You gave one last smile at him before brushing past his shoulder to get back to your work station.

Max was left almost speechless. To be honest, he thought you would hesitate on the idea. But when you agreed, it was like his heart jumped out of his chest and you could almost hear it beat.

Now the only challenge, figure out a place to go and what time. Max tried to think about it, because he wanted it to be special, but he also tried to keep working on videos.

But the image of you in his mind kept him distracted 70% of the time. Max just doesn't want to fuck up this first date with you, and he's determined to make it amazing.

"Yo Max!!" A voice cut him from his thoughts. He turned around to find Red a good distance behind him.

"What are you doing?" Red chuckled as he was walking towards his direction. Max shook his head.

"Nothing, nothing. Just getting back to work." Max replied a little shakily. But he pulled it off pretty well and left Red alone in the hallway. Sorry, Red.
