This time in particular, he felt that way, too.
"I've missed you, too," Max smiled and nuzzled his face into her ginger hair before pulling away from their hug. When her face contorted in alarm at his teasing about Quidditch killing him, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah," he responded, amused, "it'd be a shame for me to not be here to see you right now. What would you be doing with yourself?" His expression was playful as he lightly bopped the tip of her nose with his finger.
...Did she really think he wouldn't know her all-time favorite character? The character that, if he was real, Em would probably have pursued a relationship with instead of him? "'Course I remembered," he smiled softly, subconsciously reaching a hand up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. When he brought his hand back down, he looked down at his costume in slight disappointment. "Erm, I'm supposed to be the Little Prince - the title character in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's book?" He smoothed down his robes, wondering if the colors were off too much for the resemblance to be recognizable.
Just as he began to look up to fake a pout at Emmaleigh, someone bumped right into Max and his girlfriend and... hugged them?
Blonde hair. Max saw a head of blonde.
There was only one blonde that would ever greet him that way, and Max's entire face lit up.
"ELLA!" he shouted, breaking the group hug to engulf the young Hufflepuff in a hug, pick her up off the ground in a monstrous hug, and twirl her around once before setting her back down in her resting spot and pulling back to BEAM. "How are you?! How's school? How's everything?!"
He meant no offense to Em, of course, in the difference of energy that spawned from the two reunions; Max just hadn't seen Ella in about four months, opposed to Em's few weeks - their reunion was far overdue. Plus, he was certain that Em probably felt the same way. Ella was both of their favorites. Quote:

And then, just when she thought she might have been interrupting the two, she was passed around like some Hufflepuff teddy bear. Grin! She squished Em before being picked up off the ground in what might have been the best hug of all time and giggled as Max spun her in the air. So...she was going to assume they were happy to see her, yeah?
All the questions at once? Those also made Ella giggle and she beamed from the older boy to the older girl, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "School is going really well, I'm really enjoying the new professors!" That was the first thing. "Oh and I'm trying out for Quidditch again so I've been working really hard at that." Nod.Nod. "Oh and things have been great with friends and stuff." That and stuff being a certain adorable hair ruffler. BLUSH. "So...how are you both?!" BEAM! "And...I'msohappyyou'rehere!" SQUISH.
Her hands gripped the back of his robes, and she just breathed against him as Max nuzzled against her head. It was probably going to make her hair stick up just a bit and get all fluffy there, but hey, it’d be more authentic, and probably more like how her hair normally looked. “You smell good.”
He was laughing at her, and she looked down with a frown and mumbled. “Its not funny.” Not at all."Youcouldgethurt." She looked back up and nodded. “It would be a shame, because I like seeing you.” Because this did not happen enough. “And I’d be sitting in the auction watching people buy a lot of things for way more money than I have.” Even though the whole thing had sounded fun, she had been beginning to think coming to this thing had been a mistake. But this was definitely worth getting her grandmother to take her to Hogsmeade. Though she was sure Grandmother Swynford would be disappointed she didn’t get anything. When her nose was bopped, Em scrunched her nose and grinned. If they were somewhere else, she would have probably tried to catch hold of his finger with her teeth. But they were adults now, and they were in a crowed place.
“It’s because you’re amazing.” She said smiling up at him, as a whole flock of butterflies assailed her tummy when he tucked the hair behind her ear. Little Prince? “Oh,” Emmaleigh said, shaking her head. “I’ve never heard of it. Is it a wizard book? And what do you mean by supposed to be?” She didn’t mean to make him feel bad just because she didn’t recognize his character. As he straightened his robes, she reached up and removed a stray bid of green fuzz that matched her robe from his hair and then blew it at him and giggled. "I'm glad you're here."
After the squishy hug with the baby badger, the redhead just kind of stood there awkwardly as Max twirled Ella around. Not that she was jealous or anything, because that would be weird, but well, she kind of felt in the way. Not that she didn’t want to see Ella too, since she did bring something for her and all. But it was just awkward, or something. I was like they needed time to catch up, even if she would have liked to catch up with each of them. Her feeling of unease soon passed though, when the young puff started talking. “That’s good.” She said smiling, “So the new Runes and Astronomy professors are good?” and of course Flying too, but she didn't ask about that one.
And then Quidditch, again. Her smile faltered just a bit. “Good luck with tryouts.” Emmaleigh reached out to give the girl a pat on the head. “And stay safe yeah?” And of course the same would go for their star seeker, who just had to go out for the team because he was amazing. And then Emmaleigh realized, she actually kind a liked Quidditch. But she was stuck in this weird place of liking it and being so scared that Max and her friends would get hurt. Wait, she was blushing? “And stuff?” Em asked curiously. What was Baby Badger's "and stuff" that would make her all blushy?
Ohh, and another squishy hug. Grin.“Oh, I’m good.” Em nodded. Not great, because only getting to see Max once very few months or so wasn’t any fun, but she was good. “Classes are… different, and I’m usually pretty busy with going to school and working in Edinburgh, and it's nice not being there today.” And it felt good not having to drive for an hour this morning. "And I'm happy I could make it, and that I get to see you."
