A month had pass and the relationship between Max and Trevor remained the same as the night were Trevor and Max had confirmed that they were indeed mates. During that month Trevor was doing all he could to avoid Max. A difficult task since they shared a house and was going in the same university.
You could say that the only thing that had changed between them was that Trevor was now always cooking for two. Max really loved his cooking so he was happy to always make a meal for him, at least he could do something for him while staying in his house for free.
The good news was that his heat period seemed to have finally cooled down. The last time he had it, suppressants worked well, just like before... .
At first Max wasn't bothering him much either, it was as if he had restarted to live his life like before, like nothing had happened. Trevor even started to doubt that mate thing because Max was simply too detached to his liking. Funny enough when he was the one who was hiding from him.
Soon he found himself peaking on him almost every time he could. He observed him and started to learn little by little about him. He had discovered that people view of Max was really wrong. For example, he had heard here and there that Max was a wine lover and that he love strong drink like wisky but there was not even a bottle of whisky in their house, there were some bottles of wine but he never saw him drink it while eating.
Also, he had discovered that Max didn't really enjoy his life, his life was kinda boring. He had two main activities which were working for the KLAYNE corporation and secondly doing his assignment from school. He had heard people say that Max love clubbing and that he would always go at this particular luxury club pub called "Loft", but every night since he started to live with him, Max has been always at home. Even if Trevor had seen a picture of Max in that he was sure that he was just passing, that he wasn't there to have fun.
But a month later, Max started to come found Trevor almost every time the two of them were free. At school he will pop out from nowhere just to bring him something to drink or some snacks, when he will get home he will find some flowers or little gifts with weird notes that always make Trevor smile... .
It started with impersonal notes like " Hi, I hope you had a good day" or "here something to cheer you up, after a hard day at school", sometime it was just to thank him for the food. But later the note started to get more and more seductive, clumsy and weird at the same time, like this one he got a few days ago "you're cute, fun and sexy... the total package"!
Slowly Trevor was starting to look forward to Max's little note. He appreciated the effort Max was doing for them to be comfortable and to show his care.
For example, one day after school, Trevor found a little black leather box in his car. The box contained a simple and beautiful bracelet. Trevor didn't like to wear jewellery but he didn't know why when he saw that bracelet he was really happy. He eagerly looked for the note because there was always a note and not knowing it.
This time the note was saying "Hey babe, hope you are doing great today!
I got you that little thing and hope you like it! I don't know why but I think it will be good on you. It's my first time gifting someone jewerly though, so I don't know if you will like it. I notice that you don't wear any maybe you don't like it, but I still hope you will like this one!
I just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to spend a little time with you, it's mean a lot to me!..."
That note wasn't cute, or cheesy, only a simple and sincer message. Trevor was touched by those words, even if it has been just a simple thanks. He immediately put on the bracelets. Actually, he didn't notice when it started, but the more he was spending time with Max more his heart where starting to beat slowly for him. Going back home, he put the note in a box fill with all the notes Max had written for him.
At first, when Max started to try to interact with him everytime he could, Trevor was really bothered and had told Max off, but it was like he was talking to a wall. So after trying a couple of time, he decide to let him be. At least he was respected his personal space.
But eventually, people started to talk. At school people starting to gossip about their relationship. The rumours about them dating was getting bigger and bigger but it doesn't seem to bother Max.
Trevor on the other hand was not so good about it. He had started to receive threats and being bashed on the school social media. But Max eventually warned them to mind their business. He had make it clear that as soon as he will hear anything bad about Trevor, or if he someone try to do him any harm, he will destroy him. He had left the message on the university social media. The second the message posted, all the posts about Trevor disappear in a second.
Things went like that a little longer with Max being even more obvious around Trevor, showing to everybody that Trevor was special for him. Even his parents have noticed that and had already deducted that Trevor was the person he had feeling for.
Max's family was quite happy that the person who had made their son's heart beat was Trevor. His grandfather was really a friend of the family. He had done a lot for them back then so having the possibility to take care of Trevor was the least they could do, and thinking that they will actually become one family was a fact that making old Maxwell really happy even if his friend wasn't there anymore.
One day, Max disappeared without a world and in hurry. trevor knew that they were both at home, so he had made dinner for them but when he called him, Max had disappeared from their house. Trevor tried to contact him but couldn't get him on the phone. Hours passed but Max was nowhere to be found. He head even called Max's parents and his grandfather but no one knew where he could have gone.
Trevor was started to be really anxious, till he couldn't take it anymore. His heart was beating like crazy, he feared that Max had also decide to left him. He was gone just like that, not leaving a single note or saying a single word. Trevor was really sick, he couldn't eat or concentrate at work. When he was home, everything remind him of Max. How he use to sat on the couch watching news, how he will always ask him to bring him water when he was working, a pretence just to make him stay with him in his office. Trevor missed the light kisses Max always gave him when he thought he was asleep. He started to just miss Max's smell, his smile, his voice. He realised that Max had already started to take a great place in his heart.
After one week he really couldn't take it anymore. It was like a part of him was taken. His heart was in pain... He walked in the KLAYNE mansion looking haggard, as if he didn't have a shower for days. When old Maxwell saw him, he so surprise, he even thought that something serious happened.
"Trevor! what's going on? why are you in this state!?"
"I can't sleep grandpa, it's been days since I can't sleep" Trevor answered sitting on the couch next to Maxwell. Soon Gina joined them with something to drink.
"Why can't you sleep? did something happened" Gina inquired looking worrily at Trevor.
Trevor first shook his head to signal that nothing had happened but after he nodded slowly "I still can't find Max... It's like he had disapear from my life... and ... and I can't sleep not knowing where he is." Trevor betted that Max's family definetly knew where he could be.
"You definetly know where he is gone, please tell me... ? or at least tell me if he okay... I'm worry sick about him. All night I'm playing all kind of scenario in my head to explain his disparition"
Maxwell couldn't take it anymore, seeing Trevor like that was making him sad. Trevor was someone who like to have control over himself, so looking at him in that state wasn't something Maxwell was liking. Max had tell them not to tell Trevor where he was because he couldn't control his rut this time but the young man was in a really bad state, so he decide to let him know.
"Max has his rut. This time he coouldn't control himself well so he decided to go away until it end. He didn't want you to call him because he thought that he wouldn't be able to resist even your voice" Maxwell said chuckled a little.
Trevor just sat there a little lost thinking how hard he must be for Max dealing with that. He realise that he really haven't took Max's feeling in considaration. He was just a selfish guy only thinking about himslef. Max had done everything to make him feel good. Even in heat, Max was always there to help him, fighting his own urges and sexual desire. But what about him? he didn't done anything, all he did was to always remind him that he didn't want to have sex with him. He sigh realising how he had made his hown mate running away from him when it should be the time he needed him the most.
"Grandfather, where is he?"
"That I don't know... But I can call him if you want" Maxwell proposed and Trevor eagerly nodded.
As soon Trevor heard Max deep voice, he didn't know why but he was suddenly angry "Be at home in an hour!" he shouted before cutting the call.
Maxwell and Gina were stunned by Trevor's raised voice. They could see how the young man was furious. Who could blame him, he surely was so stress all the week Gina thought. She could only pray for her son not to be cut in peice once he arrive home.
"Grandpa, mother, I'll be going. Thank you" was all Trevor said before storming out.
Maxwell didn't even have the time to said a thing, Trevor was already gone. "Gina I think Max won't make it tonight"
On her side Gina couldn't care less, she was stuck at the fact that Trevor had call her "mother". It was the first time, she couldn't help but smile.
