Ross' P.O.V

Of course, I see Red and Barney make out, but I grinned and didn't care. Even though I'm not sure if Max loves me back, he makes me happy and he's a great friend to me. 

We have been hanging out a lot lately, and it's been the happiest moments in my life. It doesn't seem a bit quick, but...Ye...

"Adam, can I record with Max?" I asked shyly. He looked at his crumpled paper and shook his head slowly.

"No, you'll be with Barney." He replied. Irritation gnawed at me, but I didn't hate Barney. He was still my friend.

"Fine..." I mumbled. Before walking away, he caught me by my shoulder.

"Hey, you like Max?" He inquired. I blushed and looked away from his yellow gaze. I curled my lips and bit the bottom lip.

"Um...no..." I lied. He snorted.

"Yeah right. I won't tell him." He snarked. I smiled timidly, and ambled away to my office, ready to record a GTA video with bernie.

                                                                        ***************************

The recording was very awkward...We had lots of fun, but we still paused for some moments that the editors had to edit out. But seriously... Anyways! It's lunch, so I wanna go see Max. Maybe...I could confess...

"Max!" I called. He turned around, taking a bite of his macaroni.

"What?" He grumbled. I blushed and placed my hands behind my back. I sat next to him and got out my salad.

"Can...can I tell you something?" I stammered nervously. He took off his beanie hat and his eyes locked my with mine,

"Sure, what?" He said casually. I felt the sweat tickle down my neck, my eyes drifting away to the beanie hat.

"Um...Max...I...I-I love you. In a gay way, okay? I love you so much. You are so handsome, and you are so sweet and you make me feel better. Your soul and presence makes me feel warm. I love you, Max." I swallowed, uncurling my fists.

"Ross..." He says, his eyes warming up. Hope lit in me. He looked away,

"Ross. I'm...I'm SO sorry. I can't return the feelings. I'm not gay...But you are the best est friend I have ever had... I'm sorry, Rossy...I don't even have feelings for anyone at the moment." 

What!? No...NO! NOT AGAIN! Tears slipped down my cheeks, and his eyes were glazed with sympathy, but I didn't care.

"Max...no. It's okay." I say, hiccuping. He wiped away my tears but I pulled away, sniffling. I began to squeak and sob like a hungry, baby hamster.

"It's okay." I sobbed, getting up, and running off into my offcie, dark images from my future flashing in my vision.

Sorry it was short, and the build up was too, but I hope you enjoyed that! :D muhaha! The story's not over yet, I'll update soon :3
