You've walking along to your apartment when it's late out.

A man starts bothering you and Maxwell steps in to help you.

Some minor swearing and a mention of some harm, but nothing too serious.

.......

You've been working for Maxwell Lord for a couple of months now. You smile to yourself as you walk along the street, in the dark, the only light from the street lamps.

He's kind of goofy and annoying sometimes, but you kind of like that, too. Maxwell can be really sweet sometimes, too, and thoughtful and kind.

You absolutely adore his smile and those dimples! Oh my gosh! They're so cute that you almost can't stand it!

Okay. Maybe you're a teeny bit in love with the man. It's hard to not like Maxwell. Even if he is annoying.

You're almost home, when out of the shadows, you spy a figure walking towards you. The way they're weaving, makes you think that maybe they're drunk.

You start to walk faster, your heart thumping a little more and you're starting to sweat and shake some.

"Yo, sweetheart! How's about a little kiss?" You ignore him, but you can hear him getting closer and you're scared out of your wits.

"Didn't you hear me, you dumb bitch? Am I not man enough for you?"

You reach your apartment complex and almost start to run. You hear footsteps pounding from the opposite direction and you're really freaking out.

"Leave her alone!" You stop, recognizing the voice. It's...Maxwell. You're not sure why he's here, but you're grateful that he is.

The man swears loudly at Maxwell, who promptly punches the guy in the face, causing him to stumble backwards.

The drunk falls on the ground, clutching his face and screaming at Maxwell.

He ignores the guy, hurrying towards you and you don't really mean to, but you end up throwing yourself into Maxwell's arms, clinging to his suit jacket and burying your face against his dress shirt.

"Ssh, there, there! Are you okay?" You look at him and Maxwell smiles. You draw in a shaky breath, releasing it. You nod.

"I..I think..so. Thanks to you. Oh, Maxwell!" You cling to him again and he gently holds you.

"Let's get you inside." You allow Maxwell to guide you up the stairs into the apartment complex and into the elevator, and finally down the hallway to your apartment door.

You're still shaking so Maxwell takes the key from you, unlocking the door and guiding you inside. You turn on a light and drop your purse on the floor, immediately moving to Maxwell once again.

You realize how safe he makes you feel. Maxwell smiles softly at you as he holds you in his arms.

"Would you like to sit down?" You ask.

"I would. Thank you, Y/N." You take Maxwell's hand, leading him to the couch and you both sit.

You snuggle close to him as Maxwell gently strokes your hair. You smile. This is wonderful.

"I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Why were you over this way?"

"I, uh, was going to ask you out on a date."

You look at Maxwell, your eyes wide.

"R-Really?"

"Yes. Will you?" You nod eagerly.

"I'd love to. And thank you for saving my life tonight." Maxwell blushes.

"I don't know if I'd go that far," he says.

"But you did." You lean in, gently pressing your lips to his. Maxwell eagerly kisses you back.

You gently stroke his hair and Maxwell looks pleased.

"Would you like to stay?" You ask.

"I would love to stay, my sweet girl." You cuddle with Maxwell again. Yes, it's true.

You're definitely in love with this crazy and goody man. And that's okay.

......

A/N: Hey. So I did feel like writing a little. I know this isn't great and super short. But at least I tried. Hope you enjoy.
