    Summary

    The thing is, before meeting Daniel, Max didn’t really know what it meant to long for something. For someone. He didn’t know what it meant to long for a simple touch, a brush over his thigh, a knee or a shoulder bumping into his. A quick, sudden, unexpected hug, or a silly request – fancy a dance, Maxie?
    Daniel making him spin. How come you cannot waltz, you youngsters don’t know how to party properly these days. Daniel keeping a steady hand on the small of his back, or helping him into his jacket when he was struggling to find the sleeve.
    Before Daniel, Max had been…self-sufficient, so to say. He had never been touch-shy - who in their right minds could ever not want to be touched ever? - but he has never been taught how to ask for it either, so it was just a battle he couldn’t win.

    Over the years he spends with Daniel, Max realizes he has been starving for touch, love and affection all along.

    Summary

    Daniel has spent pretty much his whole life learning about the Fae, so working for the Fae Relations Bureau in Monaco is a no-brainer, making sure people don't cause damage to the delicate Human-Fae alliance. But somehow he tramples through a fairy ring and a furious, and furiously hot, fae emerges to confront him. Michael reminds him he’s always loved jumping off cliffs.

    Summary

    There’s an irrational anger in him about not doing anything, something that bites at him like a mosquito until he’s half-mad and ready to run through a wall. He wonders sometimes, even if Daniel will never see it, if this is what his father has given him; quick hands, itching and aching with restless irritation.

    Max keeps his hands so still and gentle they ache from the force of it and he kisses Daniel so that Daniel will stop looking at him with that faintly worried frown.

    He’s a different Max with Daniel (for Daniel). The PR team despairs of them, but Max has never had so much fun in his life.
