 | Luka Quirk: Infernal Slime Hero Name: Genesis |  |
Luka was, to put it bluntly, incredibly broke. Christmas and New Years had wiped every bit of cash he had. With the various disasters that had befallen the von Eisenberg family this year, he had been determined to make the holidays as special as they could be, but that meant exhausting every yen to his name and then some. He wasn't remotely sure how it was he managed to scrounge together enough money, but he had, and it had helped him feel a little less helpless and sorrowful as they faced their first Christmas without his father. Archaic though it might have been, he felt responsible as the 'man of the house' to make his sister and mother's lives as easy as he could.
Even if Elise could be a pain in the ass.
With that in mind, he'd decided to look for a part time job. Alas, few people would take on an employee of his age, and some he was sure were also unwilling to take on a UA Student as one of their staff members. With the way things were going, it was a pretty risky venture after all. Frustrating as that was, the young man was forced to turn down an avenue that he wasn't too sure he liked. Utilising the number that he'd been given at a cafe, he'd contacted Maximillian to see if the young entrepreneur had any work for him. He knew the older boy had flirted with him when they had met, and while he wasn't sure how he felt about that, he knew that he needed work badly enough that even if it bothered him then he'd put up with it.
As it was, Max had offered to pay him to help set up the cafe, and maybe they could talk about something a bit more stable after that. So he found himself travelling to the address that he had been given, partially curious to see what sort of place that the other boy had obtained, partially worried that he'd either come to the wrong place, and partially anticipating whatever might come. Truth be told, the idea of helping decorate a new cafe was kind of exciting, and he didn't necessarily hate being flirted with... so long as it was within reason.
He told himself that he was only tolerating such things, but he wasn't exactly being truthful there.
Either way, he ended up on the front step of the location and knocked tentatively, unsure of himself in this moment. He was usually more confident than this! He needed to man up and deal with whatever happened. Mentally psyching himself up, it was easy to lose track of his surroundings. |

Maximillian wasn't one to actually need help, if one was to really look into it. At least, not external help from people that were not him. He didn't need someone else's money to rennovate the place he had gotten in a completely and absolutely safe and humane manner and not by kicking out the gang that previously owned it because he simply had more than enough money himself to buy anything he needed.
It was also a fact that he did not need any help moving stuff around because his quirk was more than enough for the job, a figurative one man army thanks to his extensive experience and skill with using his own quirk for a long time now, using it as a second nature, to the point that some menial tasks had become completely by reflex, not taking any real mental effort on his part. Not even to mention the fact that the weight it could lift and fly around in a respectable fifteen metre radius also meant he could get to the roof easily.
All in all, when he got Luka's call, he obviously said yes.
Because Luka's cute and no quirk is gonna tell Maxi if something looks good.
A whole day of flirting with the adorable young boy, doing and saying whatever he wishes to see what reactions he could get out of him, it simply was too good an offer to pass up, he'd be an idiot to just let it go, wouldn't he? To that effect, he had done his best to prepare for his arrival, as much as he could: he swept, mopped and scrubbed every single square inch in the space he owned, not even to speak about the fact he had managed to paint it all over already, in pure white before any details were added. In fact, it was nearly done drying when Luka knocked and Maxi answered the door personally, a rare event for someone who always did it with his quirk.
"It's the cutest boy in town! Yea yea, come in!~" Maxi quickly invited him in, offering him a seat close to the driest wall, clapping his hands together to create a small, single-person table just for him, bringing over a strawberry shortcake he had personally prepared for this event. While it looked simple because Maxi was still practicing on making things actually look pretty and costly, its taste could easily put some high-end gourmet restaurants to shame.

The promise of paid work kept Luka waiting at the door instead of allowing his trepidation to take control and cause him to flee. For some reason Maximillian unbalanced him in ways he wasn't quite sure how to handle, and so a part of him wanted to flee rather than risk facing that awkward uncertainty again. Alas for his nerves, he really, really needed to money, and thus was still there when the door was opened for him. Seeing the larger boy's face caused a slight pink to spread across Luka's pale cheeks, a flush which only deepened and darkened in colour when he made a comment on how cute he thought Luka was.
It was so frustrating, normally Luka would own that sort of banter with much more confidence, but Max's intensity had thrown him off his game and had kept him there ever since they met, not letting him get back into his comfort zone where he could play the game. Instead he tried to ignore the comment and simply entered the yet-to-be-opened Cafe and took the offered seat, his eyes scanning every which way but not settling on his host's face. He wasn't sure he could stand to look at the expression that was undoubtedly being sent his way. He needed to regain his self control, not lose it further.
The place stank of paint, not necessarily in a bad way, but it was immediately obvious to Luka that it had been recently repainted by smell alone, and the pristine white of the walls only confirmed that fact. He couldn't help but wonder what sort of decor that Max was intending to put into this place. What sort of Cafe was he hoping to make? He was about to ask that very question in a hope to turn the conversation to business in order to give himself time to settle down, only to have a piece of shortcake placed before him. Luka wasn't even sure how to respond to that, blinking slightly as he looked from Max to the cake and back.
"Erm... thank you," he said finally, manners preventing him from refusing the offered sweet (and his sweet tooth also screaming at him not to reject it), "are you going to have some as well?" He'd feel awkward sitting there and eating in front of the other boy, it would be almost as rude as refusing the shortcake.
So much for getting straight to business. OOC NOTES: N/A

Maximillian quietly looked at Luka for a few seconds, wondering if he really was as kind as to offer him a piece of the shortcake just so that they could eat together. A sweet smile creeped onto Maxi's lips, unlike the perverted or teasing smiles of before, as he came to internalize the fact that, by continuously teasing and even treating the boy to a nice breakfast, his heart was actually at ease, his mind able to escape the dark depths it usually rested in, depths he kept lying to himself he wasn't in. By treating Luka to that food, he was truly able to heal, even if just a bit.
A quiet "no" was all he gave him with his head for a bit, raising his left hand to gently rub Luka's baby blue hair, not unlike a grateful parent would to a child after being comforted, letting his fingers gently weave through his hair until he pulled away, his eyes growing ever so glossy from wanting to cry. Joy.
That he could finally clean away the rot that had taken his personality and mind.
"Nah. It's just for you, so eat up, free of charge. I need someone to tell me how that tastes, since my quirk can't do that for me." The frozen boy explained, quickly going back to his usual cheery self, not wanting to make Luka any more uncomfortable than what he already was, not with the teasing and flirting which he quite enjoyed doing, but the fact that he seemed so out of himself for a while. He wanted to show that he was still the same guy he had met a few days ago, so that he could at least get used to that side of him.
So, to make sure he remained the same, Maxi left for a little while, to the backroom that had become his provisional and, maybe, his permanent office, grabbing some drawings he had comissioned from some people he found on the internet, since he really couldn't draw himself, even if he could sculpt -- weird, yes.
Still, even from the office, he quietly waited to hear Luka's reaction to his pastry.

Luka really wasn't sure how to interact with the other young man. It seemed like everything that Max did was just enough to throw Luka off in one way or another, keeping him off balance and uncertain how to respond. Normally if an older male were to ruffle his hair like Max did in that moment he would have gotten angry, indignant even, at the implied slight. But he couldn't find himself to express or even experience such emotions when he wasn't sure of himself or how to react. It was definitely a frustrating experience, made all the more frustrating in the fact he couldn't bring himself to actually be agitated by this frustration. It just wasn't fair!It seemed that Max could understand his confusion, because the other blue-haired boy seemed to withdraw a bit, first emotionally and then physically. That left Luka sitting down with a sweet baked good in front of him, all alone and uncertain. He knew why he was here, it was his best chance for a bit of extra cash and a chance to relieve his mother from the stresses of raising two children, but he still couldn't help but be apprehensive. After a few moments of staring at the shortcake, he decided it would be rude not to try it. His aggressive sweet tooth had nothing to do with the situation of course, it was purely a case of good manners. And so, cautiously he picked up the spoon and took a chunk of the dessert, bringing it up to his lips and sniffing slightly before putting it in his mouth.Eyes wide, it took him a few moments to react to the taste. There weren't really any words that he could put to it, but he felt a shudder go down his body (made much more visible by the more flexible nature of his flesh) followed by an involuntary hum of enjoyment. He tried to mitigate the audible reaction, but it was quite difficult to concentrate when he had such a delicious treat begging to be devoured. It didn't take more than a minute tops for the shortcake to be gone, Luka placing the spoon down and just taking a moment to appreciate the sudden influx of sugar into his body. He was a young man of many skills, and his ability to make food disappear was but one of those skills.
Still didn't help him work out how to act around the creator of said food, but it distracted him for a few moments at least. |

Arms crossed, it was hard not to stare, even if sneakily while the little adorable boy ate the strawberry shortcake away as if it was the most delicious of treats. The visible wriggling he pinned to something related to a quirk, the noises of enjoyment, the sheer speed at what the dessert dissapeared at. To see someone enjoy a pastry he created with such joy certainly filled Maxi's wounded heart with overwhelming joy of his own, turning his head to face forward again, once again hidden from view, while small ice beads fell to the ground; tears that froze mid-air.
"..I gotta try smoking."
Maximillian muttered to himself while holding his heart a little bit, feeling himself growing unsteady and excited over various reasons, a swirl of emotions he hadn't felt for a while now. Experienced with those feelings as he was, he could easily pin it on the fact that he was once again falling into a crush, which was not uncommon, though this crush did definitely feel a lot more.. emotional. It wasn't on looks alone this time; instead, he was happy to see that someone as cute as Luka could enjoy what he did so visibly. Maxi only felt like feeding him more, just to see that smile and hear those noises again.
Still, he had to go back to Luka and look like the same flirty Maxi as always.
So, to that effect, he took a few more seconds to really calm himself and stepped out, going right over to the boy to pat his head a bit, ruffling his adorable, light blue hair again with a visible iode of pride to his smile.
"I see that somoene particularly enjoyed what I made!~ How'd you like it, hm?" Maxi asked, wanting to see if he'd be honest with him and say that he absolutely loved it, or try to play it off as to not give the flirt any ammo to fire at him. Either way, he did know the truth, since Luka clearly wore his emotions on his sleeve when it came to food.
