THE MOVE

When you're a famous pop star, moving day isn't really that stressful. Maxxie has all the money he could want to hire movers, and the most work he really has to do during the whole affair is deciding where stuff is going to go in his new downtown apartment. He helps move stuff around regardless, and his collection of personal items is actually kind of small, but some stylist comes in from the label and helps him pick out a few new furniture items and it all seems to come together within a matter of hours. It's a huge apartment, open concept, the perfect place to entertain, and it has a pool. Yeah, it's one of those.

During one of his breaks he checks out some of the upscale places within walking distance of his new residence, getting stopped often to sign autographs or answer questions for paparazzi. Maxxie loves it. It's a bright spring day and he's a star on the rise - what's not to love?

Otherwise he invites all his friends to come see the new place, showing off all the features proudly. His favourite is probably the wet bar out by the pool, but he'll happily push the button that raises and lowers the blinds about a thousand times before someone tells him to please stop for the love of god. He's just really excited.

THE PARTY

Everything comes together so quickly that Maxxie has quite enough time to put together an impromptu housewarming party that very night. Of course, for Maxxie, a housewarming party isn't just some cocktail hour for people to bring boring gifts like appliances and interesting throw pillows. No, Maxxie's brand of housewarming party is a complete blowout. He manages to get his hands on enough alcohol to keep an entire houseful of guests blackout drunk all night, and as is his way, there are a number of other mind-altering substances available if you know who to ask. Maxxie himself stays relatively sober, just excited to be playing host for real this time. Even though he has a pleasant buzz going, he's more focused on drifting through the party to make sure everyone's having a good time.

He invites basically everyone he knows, and invites those people to bring a plus one or a plus two or a plus five if they so choose. If you know a guy who knows a guy, you can probably get into this party. There are guards, but Maxxie has convinced them not to worry too much about the guest list that doesn't exist, asking them only to kick out people who start to cause trouble after the fact. He's an inclusive type of guy.

Maxxie frowns up at him a little longer and then nods. "I just like having you around so much. I don't wanna fuck this up, Ter, 'cause I really like you."

Terry smiles softly and leans forward to press a kiss to Maxxie's forehead, "after how much of my shit you've put up with?" He huffs a self-deprecating laugh, "you're not gonna get rid of me by being a little further away."

Maxxie leans in for a real kiss, lingering a little while and pressing himself against Terry, just trying to get as close as he can. His anxiety isn't completely dissolved yet, but he knows he has to have faith. This is such a small bump in the road, if it's even a bump at all, and he knows he won't let Terry get away that easily anyway.

Once he pulls away, he sighs, pretty content. "I should go check on the party," he says.

[traumatizing]

Terry sighs and squeezes his arms around Maxxie in a brief complaint about him leaving, but he's staying here tonight and they can lie in tomorrow and it'll be great, it's not like he's about to say goodbye to Maxxie for weeks or something here.

"Okay," he kisses Maxxie on the cheek and drops his arms so he can actually leave, "I'll see you inside."
