(I do have a straight ver for y'all)

You and max have been best friends since the day you guys saw daylight,you're whole life you grew up with max, you guys went to the same school, had sleep over very week and weekend, went to vacation together, and all the best friend stuff.

after a few years (18 years) max confessed that he wanted to be more then best friends (lovers) but since you didn't know yet you 2 decide to be friends with benefits

one day on a early winter morning max walks in the house and walks in the room

Max: "hey y/n wanna go get some snacks together? *max asked, max usually only asks that when he wants cuddles or something with benefits
