Nyaah!

Max bolted through the door, "I'm first!!"

Tala chuckled and leant into the doorframe. "I'm surprised we were let in here. Ah well. Our luck, eh?"

Max sighed and collapsed onto the floor. He sprawled out taking deep breaths. "Man..I ran..too fast.."[/i]

Tala frowned. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine!" Max sat up his legs out in a triangular shape. He grinned up at Tala, cheekily.

Tala chuckled and knelt down in front of Max. "Good."

Max scooted forwards to Tala's lap, then he led down placing his head on the red head's lap. He looked up at Tala, "You're upside down!"

Tala rolled his eyes but he didn't mean it really. "You're so childish."

Max's expression changed to a questioning one, "Is that bad?" I hope it's not a bad thing, I'm like this most of the time..

Tala shook his head. "It's just you." he poked Max's neck gently.

"Ah!" Max squirmed as Tala touched his neck, "Don't touch my neck!" Max then shivered slightly.

Tala frowned. "Sorry." he mumbled.

Max then giggled, "It's okay it's one of those "places"..." Max blushed a deep red.

Tala raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Places? As in plural?" he poked his side.

Max laughed, "No that just tickles! Do..you get what I mean?"

Tala frowned. "Sort of." As in, I have no idea.

"Um..well it's like a 'sensitive' spot.." Oh my god! I can't believe I have to explain this, it's so embarrassing Max blushed a little more.

Tala nodded. "Okay." he smirked. "You look cute when you blush."

Max hid his face with his hands and whined a little bit, "Saying that will make me blush more! I'm not sure if I'm gonna have enough blood for that!"

Tala chuckled and gently pulled Max's hands away to inspect his face. "No, I don't think you could get any redder if you tried."

Max smiled and shuffled closer to Tala, then he burried his face into the russian's neck, "Mmm.."

Tala smiled and toyed with Max's hair with one hand, the other resting at Max's waist.

Max sighed contently, "We'd better not tell Ray or Kai about this..me being one of the young ones on the team they might get a bit protective, plus I don't think Kai trusts you anymore.." Max looked up at Tala.

Tala frowned. "Why not?"

Max shruged, "He'd always shun us if we started talking about you lot and his past, so, we just leave that whole subject.."
