[Max sounds amused and a little thoughtful with the little chuckle he lets out.] I'll never say no to a little one-on-one with you, but...isn't the fun of a roast doing it where other people can watch?
Flatterer. [ But gods, now he's more curious than ever. Maybe he should put on a show next time, if this body will let him... ] So I'll come over around 7? Or would you prefer to come here?
[And you know, all that making out could potentially lead to something maybe who knows. Live cuddling into the night and waking up to stare at Lester while the sun rises. Because if he's gonna have a boyfriend, Max is going to go the distance and wish for all the things.]
Eh, time's a suggestion, and you happen to be a very, very busy guy. I can wait.
[ Yet he appreciates the insinuation, and before he realizes, he's murmuring to himself something like, "Max is my size, right? I don't have to ask him to bring clothes over..." ]
First step of a good relationship is making time for you time. Believe me, I'm more than ready for us to have us time.
[Max is definitely not Lester's size, what with him being several inches taller, but it's cool. He keeps a bag packed for potential overnight trips for promotional stuff anyway. He plans to bring it. You know. Just in case.]
[Come Christmas morning, Max will find a gift bag outside his door. Inside said gift bag is a box set of a movie series collectively known as The Saga of the Eight (the individual titles being Monk's Awakening, Bard's Oath, Ranger's Voyage, Cleric's Curse, Barbarian's Blood, Druid's Deceipt, Rogue's Grave, and Paladin's Legacy), and a box of popcorn to go with it.
[A small package in green paper with candy canes, and a card on top. The card reads Because it's not the holiday without the Maximum inspiration for the season. Thanks for everything.'
Contained in the package is a small throw pillow embroidered with the following quote:
It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
Hey, Max. With everything that's been going on lately [specifically, in this poor sod's life], I just wanted to check in on you, see how you're going. Wanna grab a burger or something? My treat.
I dunno, I've known some pretty big eaters - people with powers like Jacob's get rationed extra calories in the military back home because they go through it so fast. Besides, I'm the boss, which means I also outrank you in paychecks.

So, if you're up for roasting them, [ and here, his voice gets a little nervous - ] maybe we could make a date out of it?

voice;
Is that a yes? Or should I just bring the keychains over?
voice;
voice;
[ as a total NERD, thanks to Fanport, but a rep nevertheless. ]
voice;
[He'll just leave it to Lester to think of what kind of "personal" Max means. Just for fun.]
voice;
voice;
[Because it's definitely true.]
But I'll come to your spot. Gives us some privacy. You know, just in case.
voice;
[ He'll text Andy too, ensuring that they'll be alone the whole night... ]
See you then, babe.
voice;
[And you know, all that making out could potentially lead to something maybe who knows. Live cuddling into the night and waking up to stare at Lester while the sun rises. Because if he's gonna have a boyfriend, Max is going to go the distance and wish for all the things.]
I won't be late. Promise.
