Pairing: Max x Chloe (Pricefield)

The nearly invisible steam rising from the mug she gingerly held between her hands entered her nose and Max closed her eyes, sighing blissfully as the rich smell of Arcadia Bay roast coffee hit her. She took a small sip of the still hot beverage and savoured its bitter flavour on her tongue for a moment before letting it leave a hot trail down her throat as she swallowed.

"Ugh, how can you drink that crap?"

The pair was sitting in the two Whale's Diner, each enjoying their respective breakfast and drink of choice. Or at least one of them was.

The brunette opened her eyes to look at her best friend sitting opposite of her who was now dramatically holding her hands to her throat as if she was suffocating.

"Hardi har, Chloe. Just because you aren't tough enough to handle the awesomeness that's black coffee doesn't mean I can't enjoy it." A smirk adorned her features as the bluenette huffed in fake hurt, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well, I don't need that shit to help me with my morning dump."

"Oh, gross." Max shuddered visibly before taking another sip to try and hide the smile that was threatening to overtake her at the sound of Chloe's merry laughter. It warmed her heart more than the coffee ever could.

"Now that deflated you pretty quick. Seriously though Maxter, how? I would rather eat a can full of those damn beans my mum dishes out here than have a sip from that mug filled with liquid death."

Max took yet another sip, just out of spite, and ignored the bird Chloe was flipping her at the gesture.

"You smoke weed and ask me why I drink black coffee? I guess your name has to be Chloe Elizabeth Price for that to make sense."

"Bite me, you know I hate my middle name Maxine."

"Touché, Lizzy."

A groan and another flip of the bird followed and Max couldn't contain her laughter any longer.

"Come on, I'm kidding. Just think of coffee for me what your reefer is to you. Which by the way smells worse than death itself and yet you don't hear me complain."

"Well duh. I may not be queen beeatch from Blackshit but I can be a dick every now and then. So…wait. What were we talking about again?"

Max placed the empty mug on the table and deadpanned.

"Pretty sure you were trying to convince me to use my rewind power for something fun and totally not unnecessary."

"Oh yes! I thought about this all night. Wouldn't it be hella fun if we did something crazy like cliff-diving or maybe break into the lighthouse and get the amazing view from up there? And you just kinda be ready to go all Back to the Future in case something happens."

The time traveler shook her head in amusement and fake disbelief at her friend's enthusiastic musings, happy to see the usually troubled girl so eager. It made the shit she got from her over silly things like black coffee all worth it.

I only recently found out about Life is Strange and I played through the first 4 episodes in just two days. I don't want to go into detail about my emotional state after ep 4 (DONTNOD, why?!), but let's just say I'll write lots of happy Pricefield stuff to make myself feel better until ep 5 Comes out. 20th October omfg 18 days TT_TT
