Look at me, Like you look at Her! (Max)

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley was a good guy, tall, comforting, welcoming, handsome, and authentic. He did what he thought was right, and protected his own. Bentley was broad shouldered, and fit, mostly from eating well and being active rather than a raw gym rat. Hell Bentley spent more time shacked up with his girlfriend in her room these days...and you got to share the other side of the wall. His girlfriend was Amy, your sister afterall. The wall itself was thin, and you heard a few details before you could try to block it out. Bentley, or as his sister so heartedly whispered 'Benny' had more than enough of him to go around, and then some. It shocked her by the sound it just to look at him.

But the relationship was fresh hot still, and with it came some benefits. You saw Bentley often, and he never once was rough or crude. But sometimes you felt like there was more to him, perhaps something only your sister truly got to see.

*max would be sitting in his room, at his desk, drawing, in his note book, it was the start of the day, so he'd put his usual diary entry and picture in the journal, and then he'd close it, he'd comb his flashy black and red hair, and he'd strap his mask on his face, and he pulled his favorite red coveralls over his nightwear, and he'd walk into the kitchen, expecting breakfast*

Amelia was sitting at the table already, having some cereal to start her day, dressed up for her college classes. She looked up from her phone and gave a wave as she set it aside. "Morning Max" she said as she set her spoon down in her down. Her hair was naturally black and her skin slightly sun kissed from tanning by the backyard pool. "Mom left early today, so sadly nothing got cooked." She said

 

[Max]

God damn it...*I softly punch the fridge* oh well...what's traffic looking like?..*his soft, sweet voice was hidden by his depression and monotoneness, he looked at her, his hair neatly parted down the middle but yet messy as it always seemed wet*

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Eh, not so bad yet, morning rush probably wouldn't get bad for a another hour or so. Why? Thinking about going out?' Amelia asked, as she started to type on her phone again. "Benny says good morning." She added as her phone chimed gently.

 

[Max]

Thinking about it...tell....Bentley I s-said hello...*max would shudder at the thought of bently even paying any attention to him, he ended up running to get his keys and running out, like an embarrassed school girl*

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Ok-uh! Oh...guess he's heading off early too."Amelia said blinking to herself in confusion. She texted the message anyhow, knowing Bentley would like to know Max atleast returned the gesture. Amelia however just assumed her brother was...just being himself.

 

[Max]

*there was the rev of a high performance motorcycle in the garage, max would be sitting on his 2017 Suzuki gsx R 1000, he had worked very hard to get this, and he drives off, feeling the wind in his face...er...mask*

 

[Knight_of_None]

As Max rode off, pulling out into the early day, he saw traffic, light and easy enough for him to weave through, was flowing steadily. The speed made him feel free, and clear, but he could see another car on the way around the neighborhood, a familiar tan sedan, Bentleys car, coming through .

 

[Max]

*I sit back on the bike, the throttle on cruise control, I took my hands off the handle bars and I saw bentley, and I jolted, almost falling off the bike as I opened the throttle and zipped off*

 

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley pumped the breaks swiftly, clearly seeing Max nearly fall but watched him from his mirrors just to make sure he wouldn't hurt himself. He was still so jumpy sometimes. Bentley parked his car, but waited a while longer, still partially worried about Max.

 

[Max]

*about 5 minutes later, the familiar whine of his engine came as he pulled into the driveway, parking in the garage, holding a brown paper bag, I see Bentley in his car and I giggle to my self like a giddy school girl, I tap on the glas window*

 

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley flipped the lock on his car door, gently opening up the door and started to step out. "Hey Max! You alright? I nearly thought you were going to fly off your bike." He said smiling at him, the taller boy closing the door behind him.

 

[Max]

H-heh, yeah....*I softly hold up the store bag I had in my hand and looked up at you* I got you sister some drinks! *I then turn and run off in the house, feeling fuzzy and light*

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Oh well! Thanks!" Bentley said following him towards the door, the young man's beaming smile still could be heard even with Max's back to him. As he met Max at the door, he leaned a bit, his shoulders holding the oranate glass and steel storm door open. "You heading out today?"

 

[Max]

No, i-im gonna be working on the bike today...heh *I look around, and I would slowly step in the house, and goes to the living room*

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Oh? can I help out?" Bentley asked as he follows on the way in. Bentely however wasn't much of a mechanic, he would probably be mostly standing around.

 

[Max]

I- b-b-but.....w-what about Amy?

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Mm? You're starting already? I guess I'll have to take Amy to the campus, and come back here? I'm not in class today anyway, so we can hang out a while, get to know each other more?" Bentley said as he put a hand on his chin, nodding along. His beaming smile never fading from his face. He glanced up as Amy could be heard frim the kitchen and his smile got even wider. The tall boy stepped by Max abd rushed over to embrace Amy, lifting her up a bit in his arms. She nuzzle a d giggled inti hus his neck as she clung on and his lips kissed on her cheek a few times. He set her back down. "I'll get my books, gimme a second?" She said, to the nod of her lover. She moved upstairs, giving them some more space.

 

[Max]

*his once peaceful grin under his mask turned into a frown of envy, jealousy almost. He is sit on the couch, and sigh, slowly falling asleep for a short nap*

 

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley looked over as Max got on the couch, but waited by the stairs. Amy came down, slowing up to a quieter pace when she saw her brother was drifting it seemed. They left the house, but true enough Bentley came back after about an hour , pulling back into the driveway.

 

[Max]

*I sigh, and stand up, I stretch, and go into the garage, rummaging through the parts drawer and grabs a monkey wrench, putting the bike on a stand*

 

[Max]

Hmm? He must be home...oh well

 

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley parks further out in the driveway, giving Max some clearance, just in case he was going to need to come out. The boy jogged over to the front door, ringing it.

 

[Max]

*instead, the garage opens, and I poke my head out* your back!

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I said I wanted to help, you thought I wasn't coming back?" Bentley said turning around to Max, smiling broadly. "What can I do for you?"

 

[Max]

I need a...5 1/8th wrench please?..

 

[Knight_of_None]

Bentley walked over the the mechanics drawers, and started looking through the sets. He scanned the etched labels, and pulled out the wrench, hustling back over to Max's side and held it out to him. "Got it!"

 

[Max]

*I take the wrench, kneel, and start tightening a bolt, I drop the wrench stand straight up, and looks you in the eye* I...want to confess something...I'm jealous....not of you....I'm jealous of my sister....I just....you two have such a good relationship.....I just want you to look at me like you look at her....

 

[Knight_of_None]

Better blinks as Max confesses his jealousy, folding his arms slowly as he spoke. "You want me to look at you...like I look at her?" He repeated slowly. "I...don't quite understand...I look at you all the time." He said tilting his head It was so swiftly done, he was trying to catch up.
