When we pulled up to NYU, I was honestly amazed. I watched out the window as we came to a stop. He turned his car off, grabbed his things out his backseat and opened my door.
“You can sit with me during my lecture, it’s sort of long but we have about 30 minutes before it starts so I was thinking we grab some food before it starts, does that sound alright?”
I nodded my head and walked beside him, I wanted to hold his hand, I loved how he made me feel so I kept allowing my hand to brush up against his as I walked by his side. I glanced over his features and felt myself blush. He was gorgeous. I immediately glanced down as a smirk spread across his face.
“Would you like to hold my hand little one?”
I gasped at the pet name and felt my whole face heat up. I couldn’t bring myself to answer him directly so I nodded instead and took his outstretched hand as he pulled us to a stop.
“I need words love. Gestures and your adorable blush aren’t enough. I need to hear you.”
I knew my blush had spread all over my ears and neck, I could feel it. “Yes- I want to - hold your-hand” I mumbled out. He let out a hum of satisfaction as he squeezed my hand slightly pulling me along side of him. I couldn’t help but smile as we entered the doors of NYU.

We walked towards the food court and my anxiety grew.
bubba or zay always order for me…
As we came to the food court I froze. “What’s wrong Peyton?” I felt my eyes start to water. I missed Parker and Zay.
“Bubba- always orders- for me..” I managed to get out.
I felt him let my hand go as he pulled me in front of him. He wrapped his arm around my chest pulling me into him. “You don’t have to cry love, I’ll order for you. I normally eat Panda Express, do you like that?” I leaned back into his embrace and nodded. I sniffed as I pointed out what I wanted and he nodded, I held his hand as he walked up to the counter and ordered our food, I reached into my pocket and pulled out Parker’s debit card. When he was done with the order I pulled on his shirt softly as he looked down at me. I held up the debit card and he smiled softly. He shook his head no and swiped his own card. “Thank you love but it’s okay. It’s just Panda Express.” I smiled and slid it back into my pocket.
We got our food and sat down he opened up my two cartons and his own plate and we started eating, he took the cups they had given us and went to get us our drinks. “I’m not a fan of soda.” He bluntly stated as he handed me power aid. I smiled to myself because Parker was the same way. I wasn’t allowed to drink soda, we ate our dinner and made small talk, something I’d never done with anyone outside of Parker and Zay.
Talking to him was easy. Being around him was comfortable. He made me feel safe.156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOunTeeGus
When we finished eating he threw away our trash and we walked hand in hand to his lecture hall. As we came to the entrance I read the sign outside of the door. “Psychiatric Trauma III”
He must be smart.
I followed him to the front of his class as he spoke with his professor. I watched as the older woman nodded and smiled at me. She offered a half wave and I returned it as Mav glanced back at me and smiled. After their conversation he walked over to me and sat down. He pulled me into the chair beside him and opened his backpack. He pulled out his iPad Pro and some beats, I watched as he pulled up Netflix and then typed in anime. He connected his beats and placed them on my head and handed me his iPad. “If you get sleepy or need something like the bathroom, just let me know baby boy.” I blushed at the pet name once again and nodded as I selected Hunter X Hunter and began watching it. Every so often he’d glance down at me and check on me, and every so often I’d do the same to him.
I felt my phone buzz and I pulled it out my pocket, it was a text from Parker.
Bubba😍💙: Hey kitten can you ask Mr.M to text me?
I responded and placed my phone on his lap, I watched as he pulled his phone out and texted Parker. Every so often his phone would light up and he’d respond.
After two hours his lecture hall ended and we stood up, I handed him his iPad and headphones and watched as he packed them up.
“Your brother and Zay have a team sleepover. So-“
“No! Please don’t make me go home! Please I promise I’ll be good-“ I felt myself start to cry. I didn’t want to go home. I couldn’t. Not without Parker.
“Hey hey hey woah.” Maverick said as he pulled me into his arms. “You’re not going home. I’m taking you to my house so calm down. I was just letting you know that you were coming to my house and I was going to ask if you were okay with that. I wasn’t getting rid of you doll. I promise.”
I snuggled into his chest and nodded. I felt him chuckle slightly to himself as he rubbed my back. “Let’s head home, yea?”
I nodded and gasped as he he picked me up and carried me to his car.
I guess I do walk slow after all…
