Pairing: Max/Alec of course.
Rating: Strong T, for language.
Summary: Post FN. Max finds out that Logan is cheating on her with Asha, and Alec is there to kiss it and make it better.
With his connections, it only took Alec forty minutes to find the necessary amount of alcohol: three bottles of scotch for him and three bottles of vodka for Max, plus one surprise. It took him half that time to find her sitting in her darkened apartment in TC.
She was on her couch with an opened six-pack of beer beside her. Alec noticed she was down to her last one. She must’ve been at this for a while. She looked like hell. Her face was sunken in and her eyes lacked their normal luster. We’ll have to do something about that won’t we?
At first he was livid when he had found out Max went to go see Logan. All the guy did was drag her down, but she simply couldn’t see it. He had been battling his feelings towards Max for the past few months, but had recently come to terms with them. He loved her, pure and simple-or at least it would be in a perfect world.
But Max was so gung-ho on trying to make this thing with Logan work; Alec knew he’d never be anything more than a personal punching bag. Sure, there had been a few times when he thought the feeling was mutual, but then she went right back to her "you disgust me" persona. He also knew it was in his own best interest to get away, but every time he tried, something stopped him. He never figured himself as a masochist, but that’s what he was turning into. He had to be around her, even if that meant being her whipping boy and nothing more.
He looked on at her shrunken figure for a few more seconds before he walked in the door. He made sure to put on his most charming smile before he greeted her. "Heya Maxie, how’s Trix?"
When she looked up at him her eyes seemed to get some of their fire back in them, but rest of her remained unchanged. "What do you want, Alec?" she snapped.
He sauntered into her den and stopped right in front of her. "Now Max, is that any way to greet an old friend, especially one who brought gifts. Well, I mean more than the gift of my presence ‘cause you get that everyday but it never seems to do all that much for you…"
"Did you have a reason for stopping by, Alec? Other than annoy me to death?"
He placed the brown bag of booze on the table in front of her and took a seat on the couch. "Yeah, I did,” he ran a hand over his mouth. “I heard that you were feeling down, so I thought I’d stop by and see how things were going?"
"Cindy called you didn’t she."
"Yep."
Max groaned and buried her face in her hands. "What all did she tell you?" she mumbled. And it was a miracle he got that.
He may have transgenic hearing, but if someone speaks gibberish, all he hears is very precise gibberish. He thought for a moment what he should tell her, and eventually decided on the one which would mean less pain for him. "She said that you and Logan were no longer an item and that you could probably use a punching bag or a good lay for the night, so here I am. Of course you know which one I’d prefer…"
"OH MY GOD ALEC!" she screamed in frustration. "I can’t believe you! Only you would come in here and see how upset I am and try to play this off like it’s some kinda joke. You know you really are a-"was all she got out before he clapped his hand over her mouth. She stared daggers at him and was about to lash out when he pulled her up against him.
"Don’t give me that look Max; I’m doing this for your own good," he paused for a second to breathe her in. "Listen, I had to stop you because as soon as you finished that sentence you’d regret it." She snorted from under his hand. "Yes you would Maxie, at least hear me out first. I did come here because Cindy asked me to, but I would’ve come anyway as soon as I’d heard what happened. Believe it or not, I consider you a friend, and I don’t abandon my friends when they need me. And I’m sure you’d rather have OC here than me, but she was worried you’d try to rip her head off, so I’m all you got. Besides…I brought presents."
Alec could feel her begin to relax in his arms and a tightening in his pants. This had to stop now. "I’m gonna let go now, okay, but you have to promise that you won’t do any permanent damage." She growled and nodded her head.
When Alec let her go, the first thing she did was elbow him in the ribs. "Ow! What the hell was that for? And you promised-"
"I didn’t do any permanent damage asshole, and who the hell said you could put your hands all over me?" Never mind the fact that her heart skipped a beat when he had pulled her against him. Wait, no it didn’t, it must be the beer talking.
"Yeah yeah, fine, whatever. Next time I won’t bring drinks."
"I was doing fine, I have beer."
"Correction, you had beer. Jeeze Max, you don’t even know how to get good and drunk." He pulled a bottle of each from the bag. "Beer doesn’t work so great on us because of our higher metabolism." He set the bottles on the table, went to the kitchen, and came back out with two glasses. He sat down on the couch and continued his lecture as he opened the scotch. "We need something stronger and that works a hell of a lot faster if we want to get nice and toasted. This," he poured himself a glass and took an appreciative sip, "is scotch, the nectar of the gods."
"I don’t drink scotch," she whined.
"I know," he was beginning to lose his patience. He quickly opened the other bottle and filled the second cup for her. "This, is for you, and before you ask, it’s vodka."
Max seized the cup from him, took a cautious sniff, and downed it all in three gulps.
"And that is why you won’t get any of my scotch even if you beg for it. It should be sipped and savored." He wagged his eyebrows and gave her a knowing look.
"Just hurry up and finish your drink. I’m not getting wasted all by myself." She poured herself another drink and sank back into the couch.
"Maxie, if you don’t start being nicer to me, then you won’t get your present."
"Don’t call me that!" He gave her a pointed look. "Fine, I’ll be nice," and flashed him a saccharin sweet smile. "What else did you get me?"
"It’s something you’ve been needing." He gave her a wicked grin as he reached into his inner jacket pocket and fumbled around. "I hope you have batteries."
Max’s eyes grew wide and lips compressed into a thin line. She was about to tell Alec where he could stick his gift, when he pulled out a remote. "What, no batteries?"
He took in Max’s now shocked expression and his smile got even bigger. "It’s just a remote for the TV Max, I got tired of getting up every time I wanted to change the channel, and don’t worry, I brought some batteries in case you didn’t have any you could share." He saw the blush creeping into her face and the muscles in her jaw twitching when he went in for the kill.
"What’s with the look Maxie, what did you think I was talking about?"
"Nothing," her answer seemed a little too quick.
"Now Maxie, I’m surprised at you. I can only imagine what you thought I was talking about, and you need to get you mind out of the gutter missy,"
She slapped him on the shoulder. "Whatever Alec, you have no idea what was going through my head. Now get the remote working and turn on the TV so I don’t have to talk to you anymore."
He popped the back on the remote and leaned back into the couch throwing an arm around her shoulders. "Whatever you say Max."
He pressed the power button on the remote and fully expected Max to push his arm off her; she tensed at first, but then relaxed and started to settle against him.
----------------------------
Two hours later the bottles were empty and they were both more than a little buzzed. They were just finishing a movie that had come on TV. It was Flash Gordon and Max had never laughed so hard in her life. While it was on, Alec tried to explain to her why it was ‘wonderfully awful’, but the concept was lost on Max.
She hated to admit it, but she was glad Alec was here tonight. She watched the lights from the TV flicker across his handsome features. He really is beautiful, and he’s been a great friend tonight.
He’d brought her hooch and made sure she was distracted enough not to dwell on her run in with Logan earlier either by being an ass or steadily getting her drunk. I don’t get it. I’ve been a bitch to him as long as I’ve known him, but he’s here anyways.
Alec felt her staring at him and tilted his head to look at her. His arm was still around her shoulders and she was leaning onto his well defined chest. Her eyes were a little glazed over, but the way she was looking at him made him feel a little nervous. Her gaze was unwavering as she searched his face. She was looking at him as if he contained the answers to life, the universe, and everything; He had the sudden urge to shout out, "Forty-two," but refrained. He returned her gaze even when she pushed herself off of him and brought her legs underneath her on the couch.
"Why?" she asked.
He wasn’t sure he liked where this was going, "Why what, Max. You’re gonna have to be a little more specific than that."
"Why are you here?"
He could hear the vulnerability in her voice and it made him more than a little uncomfortable. He decided to try and diffuse the situation, "I thought you already knew about this, Max." He let out a deep sigh and tried to make light of the new direction their conversation was heading, "Normally, when a man and a woman really love each other…"
"That’s not what I meant Alec, and you know it."
Alec’s brain was shouting at him Warning. Warning. Danger. Begin evasive maneuvers now! But what he said was, "You mean in like the ‘grand scheme of things’?"
She pushed herself off the couch, the adrenaline from her growing anger minimizing the effects of the alcohol. "No, Alec," she snapped impatiently, "I mean why are you here with me?"
Alec watched as she began to pace back and forth in front of him like a caged animal-which she essentially was at this point.
"I mean, why are you here with me and not out chasing some skirt or hustling someone at pool or pulling a job somewhere or running a scam…"
Alec had heard enough. He walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders to stop her from moving. "Hey, hey, hey. I already told you why I’m here." He grabbed her chin and tilted her head so that she looked directly into his hazel eyes. "You’re my friend and you needed me. So here I am. You needed a shoulder to punch or cry on and I’m here." He brushed an errant tear away from her check with his thumb. "I’m always here for you, Max. You know I got your back."
She sniffed in an effort to stop the tears before she spoke again. "So you don’t think I’m more trouble than I’m worth?"
Alec couldn’t stop the growl coming from his throat as he pulled her into a bone crushing hug. "Never Maxie." He heard her snort in disbelief. "I’m not saying you’re not trouble Max, but what I am saying, is that you’re worth every second of it."
Max hugged him back with every fiber of her being. "You really mean that?"
Alec sighed and slowly pulled away from her. He decided he was gonna lay it all on the table. "Max do you trust me?"
She stared at him on confusion, wondering where he was going with this. "Alec, what are you…"
"Just answer the question, Max. Do. You. Trust. Me?" He looked down into her chocolate brown eyes that were shimmering with her unshed tears, holding his breath for her answer.
"Yes, I do."
He let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, then I need you to do exactly what I say."
She gave him a skeptical look.
His eyes softened and he licked his lips. "Please Max."
She finally nodded and was rewarded with one of his smiles.
"Good," he told her and stepped away so that they were no longer touching. "Close your eyes."
Max let out an impatient breath and complied.
His smile got even wider. "Now, give me your hand."
She cocked her head to the side and threw out her arm. He took her slender hand in his and she was instantly enveloped in his warmth. He drew her hand closer to him and placed it over his heart. She could feel his steady heartbeat under her palm quickening.
She shivered underneath his touch and he moved closer to her until they were inches away and she could feel his hot breath across her face.
"Do you feel my heart beating?" he all but whispered to her.
Not trusting herself to speak she nodded her head.
Alec then put his other arm around her waist and pulled her up against his body as he began to move with her. "Do you understand?" And then he started to dance her around her small apartment singing the pre-pulse song by The Bangles.
"Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning an eternal flame?"
His voice cracked on the "flame" part which made her laugh. "Oh my god, you’re so cheesy, Alec."
"Be quiet, or else you’ll make me miss a beat." Max just rolled her eyes as he started on the next verse.
"I believe it’s meant to be darling, I watch you when you are sleeping." He continued to dance with Max as he sings the song in his seductively low voice and she laid her head down on his shoulder, her hand still between them on his heart.
"You belong with me, do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning, an eternal flame?"
He dipped Max and then slowly brought her back up, pleased to see the smile he had put on her face.
Before Alec could stop himself, his lips brushed across hers in a feather light touch. He rubbed them gently over hers with only the slightest amount of pressure and his tongue licked at the corners of her mouth.
He pulled away slowly, searching her face for any reaction. "Max," he breathed her name like it was a prayer.
She brought her hands up to his face and brushed her thumbs across his cheekbones. He leaned into her touch and made a small purring noise. Max stared into his eyes before she crushed her lips to his and kissed him ferociously, pressing her body as close as possible against him and threw her arms around his neck.
Alec pulled her tight and began to explore her mouth with his tongue. He ran his tongue over her canines and was oddly aroused by their sharpness.
She was kissing him back just as passionately, their lips melding, their teeth and tongues clashing in a battle for dominance. She inhaled his scent as his mouth worked his magic and shivered at the new sensations it brought.
Suddenly he pulled his lips from hers and leaned his forehead against hers as he took in a deep breath. "Max?" he questioned, his breathing was labored, as if he had just run a mile in under a minute. His eyes searched her face to see if he could get any clue as to what she was thinking.
She gave him a wicked grin and pulled him closer for another earth shattering kiss. When she came back for air, she whispered in his ear. "It’s okay Alec. I love you too."
He pulled his head back, his disbelief showed clearly on his face. He needed to know she wasn’t toying with him. The love he saw shining through her eyes made his breath catch. "What gave me away? It was the eyes wasn’t it." He lowered his head nuzzled her neck and lightly nipped at her collarbone. "People tell me I have sincere eyes."
"Actually," her breath hitched as he lapped at her pulse point. "It was your singing voice. Who knew you had it in you, Alec?"
His lips travelled back to her mouth and he spoke against it; relishing the delicious friction it caused. "I’m glad you approve, Maxie." And he began to sing another verse against her lips. "Say my name, sun shines through the rain. A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain, I don’t want to lose this feeling."
She gave him a quick kiss on his mouth and laughed, "God, you’re such a cheese-ball."
"Yeah, and you love me for it."
She ran her hands through his hair and brought his ear right next to her full mouth. "Yes, I do."
His breath was hot against her neck. "Good, cause I love you too, Max."
She felt him smile against her skin as she said, "Wait till I tell OC about this."
A/N: Totally cheesy, I know, but the idea made me smile and I had to share it with all you lovely people. I hope you all enjoyed this little fic of mine. It’s my first DA and my second one ever, so if there were things you didn’t like or changes I should make, let me know. Of course if you loved it, please feel free to drop me a review and let me know that as well.
Much love,
The FemmePhantom

She ran her hands through his hair and brought his ear right next to her full mouth. "Yes, I do."
His breath was hot against her neck. "Good, cause I love you too, Max."
She felt him smile against her skin as she said, "Wait till I tell OC about this."
A/N: Totally cheesy, I know, but the idea made me smile and I had to share it with all you lovely people. I hope you all enjoyed this little fic of mine. It’s my first DA and my second one ever, so if there were things you didn’t like or changes I should make, let me know. Of course if you loved it, please feel free to drop me a review and let me know that as well.
Much love,
The FemmePhantom
