I'm Right Here | A Mithross Fanfic

Chapter 33

Ross's POV

As I glanced over at the person who held me in the tight embrace I noticed something familiur about this person- their ginger hair. I felt my heartbeat quicken as hot tears streamed down my eyes, I couldn't believe it, were my eyes playing tricks on me? Am I just dreaming of this and the relic made me fall unconscious?! The ginger let go of me as they looked at my face closely, their hand brushed my cheek as a smile sat on their face. We sat in silence until I watched as tears began to stream down his face: I guess I didnt notice the hot liquid water that ran down my cheeks until the ginger raced his thumb across my cheek to whipe away my tears, "Aren't you glad to see me, Ross?"

"Of course I am- I just... is this even real?" I asked as I reached forward, Max took my hand before he placed my hand on his cheek. I giggled softly until I realized that we were still in Mr. Galebread's office, I hated how even life put us through those situations where we could never enjoy our reunions. "I- Max we need to get going!"

"Oh right!" The older Male nodded as we quickly got up, I advanced towards the door before I peered outside. As I slid the door open ajar, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist as Max gave me one last hug. I guess it was hard for him to have to kill himself in front of me however doesn't he realize that right now we are in a life or death situation! I quickly looked back to shoot him a glare but before I could turn my head it was as though he read my mind because he removed his hands from my waist. "Let's get going, Squirrel."

As we raced down the corridor I couldn't help but throw glances over my shoulder at Max whom raced beside me however his gaze never left the ground. Ever since the older Male came back to life- or whatever happened he's seemed distant as though there has been something missing. I bit my lip as a thousand questions raced across my mind however none of which seemed to make any sence. I know that Max wanted to be alive- wanted to escape the labortories but why does it seem like there is something off about him.

I did not bring it up to him when I first saw him because I did not want to seem like that guy- that guy who makes assumptions. I let out a long sigh as I shook away the loud train of thoughts. Max is back and I need to focus on that! I quickly glanced over at my companion before I frowned once more, but maybe there is something wrong- "Max?"

"Yeah?"

"I- nevermind." I sighed before I looked away from his dark brown eyes. The two of turned a corner and as soon as we turned the corner Max quickly lunged towards me: before I could do anything my body came crashing with the wall. Max quickly grabbed ahold of both of my arms before he held them above my head. His dark eyes blazed into mine- a look of concern shone in them as we stood in this position for a moment.

I dunno why but I couldn't help but blush a deep pink from how close our faces were. I glanced at Max with a stupid expression- the type of expression you would find on a child who walked into a candy store. The older Male smiled down at me before he kissed my forehead, I wanted to stay like this forever. I never wanted to leave him, that's when the memories slapped me across the face, "why did you sacrifice yourself for me- for everyone!?" I finally snapped as I backed away from Max; the Male sighed as he looked down at his feet.

"I died because I didn't know how to apologize- I didn't know how to say sorry about dating Winter and about losing my memories of you..." Max's voice trembled as he spoke, the older Male continued to look at the ground but I could tell that he was trying his hardest to not embrace me into one of his bear hugs. "I- The night before I died. I regained all of my memories, I remembered everything our first date, you sitting in the hospital with me, even the time we danced..."

"I- You do realize that I would have accepted your apology right Max? Please don't sacrifice yourself for me next time?" I replied as I hinted a bit of sarcasm in my voice which made Max smirk alittle bit as we proceeded down the corridor.

"I won't my little Squirrel, I promise." I smiled and his little nickname as we continued down the corridor, however I felt my heartdrop in my chest as a sound that was all to familiur sounded in the corridor from behind us-

Max and I weren't alone. We were being followed this whole time.
