Max and Steel

"I don't know Steel, I was hoping that you had an idea." I reply,

'Well we should probably see if we can still go turbo. Wouldn't want to find out the hard way that we can't,' Steel suggests.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." I say, going to stand up but I remember that Steel is right next to me. "Heya Steel, you might want to back up a bit."

'Why?... oh right! Got ya,' Steel says.

  Once he's backed up, I swing my legs over the side of my bed and stand up. I turn around, looking for Steel, and see him still hovering over my pillow.

"So, we just gonna do it like normal?" I ask him as he floats over,

'I don't see how we can do this any other way,' Steel replies smartly.

I choose to ignore it and just get on with it, "alright. let's go turbo, flight!"

  With a flash of blue, Steel and I link up and transform into flight mode. The light show fades and reveals Steel and I in the suit with wing like things sticking out and that I'm still normal size, which is a big relief.

'Well that worked, so now what do we do?' Steel asks,

"A snooze sounds good right about now, but if you wanna do something else, I'm up for it." I reply, surrpresing yawning afterwards.

  We go back to camouflage mode and Steel detaches himself from me, floating up to my ear. 'Nah, it's alright dude. You need your sleep, specially since you got school in the morning. I'll just explore,' he says patting the shell of my left ear.

"Whatever you say dude, just don't get lost." I say, going back over to my bed and laying down on my back.

'Max, I have been here for almost two years now. I think I would know how to navigate around your room by now,' he states matter of factly.

"That may be true, you've never been this size before. Look just call if you need something, ok?"

'Whatever you say, mom!' Steel retaliates, then floats off to explore.

I shake my head with a smile on my face before rolling onto my side and dozing off.


  For most people, going to sleep at 5pm  would be way too early, wouldn't even have a chance of falling asleep. Max on the other hand, well any sleep he can get is good on him. Hence why I didn't suggest doing something else, besides, I like watching him sleep on occasion. Now that may sound creepy, but when you find that you don't have anything else to do that won't wake anyone at night, you tend to take up weird hobbies.
  So after scoping out Max's room, going into nooks and crannies that I've never been able to fit in or look at, I float back over to the sleeping form of my human and gently drop onto his side. His sleep doesn't falter so I stay there for a while, feeling the huge muscles beneath me shift slightly as the massive lungs fill and empty with air.
  After sitting there for a few minutes, I float up and move over to the light switch and turn off the light. I hover over to the large window that takes up an entire wall and look up at the sky, the sun is just starting to set and the sky has mixes of oranges, yellows, pinks, reds, and blues.
  My sky gazing is interrupted by Max shifting in his sleep, rolling onto his front and letting out a quiet groan. I laugh quietly and move over so I'm hovering between his shoulder blades before dropping down onto his back. I can hear his breathing and heartbeat much clearer now, and it puts me at peace for some reason.

"I really should tell him how I feel, but then what will he think of me? Does he feel the same way or will he reject me for it?" I say out loud, not really expecting an answer.

  I'm about to go into sleep, but I will myself to move into the safety pod and close it so I don't have to worry about Max rolling onto me. I fall asleep with questions buzzing around in my head, mainly 'why can't I just tell Max that I love him?'


  I woke up when I felt something drop onto my back, even though it was barely noticeable. I figured it was just Steel so I don't think anything more, but on the edge of my hearing, I hear Steel's quiet voice, both in and outside my head.
'...should tell him how I feel, but then what will he think of me? Does he feel the same way or will he reject me for it?'
I don't move, say, or think anything, I only listen. I feel the weight on my back disappear and then feel something, most likely Steel, drop into the pod behind my ear. I can tell that he's just about to drift off and the last thing he thinks, it surprises me. I lay there without a word or thought after hearing it, running Steel's thought through my mind like a broken record.

'Why can't I just tell Max I love him?'

(Hey guys, just a quick author's note. Max/Steel is NOT my idea! I got the idea from some stories I've read and pictures I've seen. That is all.)
