I love the hc that wash and maine knew each other prior to pfl for multiple reasons, but one of those reasons is that I love imagining the freelancers being completely baffled over big, hulking maine, who hasn't spoken more than a sentence to any of them who they've watched put other freelancers through walls for touching him get playfully slapped on the back by this random guy from the team below them, only for maine to NOT hurt said random guy but also RECIPROCATE said playful slap on the back?????

they then proceed to watch this guy have an entire conversation with him without maine saying a single word, and then when the guy leaves and maine joins the group again they're like "uh, who the hell was that??" all maine replies with is "friend".

MAINE??? A FRIEND??????
