@defeatsthem said : i thought you said you'd behave. // Liv x Max

“Crap! You weren’t supposed to be home until later!” Gionna had a feeling she was going to get caught on that ladder she was currently standing on, but hey, at least it was a small one? And she wasn’t even that high off the ground. Being home all the time was driving her bananas, and she was tired of the baby’s room being a mess, so she figured she’d just hang up a few decorations, fully expecting to have it done before Max got home from the airport that day. “Don’t be mad, babe. I’m just so damn bored, and the baby will be here before we know it, and this room is a disaster!”

Suppose that's what Max gets for trying to show a sliver of concern towards N.attie. He'd been irritating her from the very start of their... friendship... if that's what you'd call it. Even though the blonde's actions were completely warranted, Max still was a little offended at her dismissal of his showing of concern. "Fine, suit yourself." Max grabbed his water bottle and turned in the seat, going to stand up to leave the catering area. "You look like shit by the way," Typical Max fashion, always itching to get the last word in no matter the occasion.

The funny thing was he wasn’t even the reason as to why she was currently feeling this way, for once! So he should calm the hell down. If Nattie wasn’t upset she’d laugh at how he acted but in the long run you couldn’t say he didn’t deserve for the shoe to be on the other foot this time around. “Thanks, so do you. Don’t ever change, eh?” A roll of her eyes, she released the deepest of exhales as a an attempt to curb her “attitude.” “Shouldn’t you be happy I’m not mad at anything related to you, unlike the hundred millionth time since we met? I just need some air, didn’t think I had to outright say it after hearing you ask me am I okay over and over.” Naturally caring was in her nature, she’s been in his position many times so she gets it. Was Max expressing concern alarmingly strange but in a positive way? Hell yeah!

“Look, I am sorry.”

for @defeatsthem ( starter based on canon cody x mjf aew storyline )

cody and max had been through a lot of ups and downs together through their career, and despite the bad ones, cody still couldn’t help but to keep him in his life . he was the first ever person that he mentored, and a good one at that . watching max excel in the business was a dream . he deserved it. through all of the good stuff they crumbled apart time and time again, even to the point that it seemed like each week was a step up from the last on how they could hurt one another .

somehow, they progressed over it . cody was willing to forgive and forget the past due to his soft spot for his former friend . there was no lie that tensions were still high though, cody felt like he was talking to a damn brick wall at times . and now, here stood the two men in a lockerroom while cody was trying to talk things out . i don’t need you . cody’s words were cut right from his mouth as max spoke .

it might’ve been a little selfish or whatever . cody just wished that max could move on like he did . so they could go back to how things were “ i didn’t say you couldn’t take care of yourself ” he snapped right back, already used to their arguments, half of it didn’t phase cody “ god forbid someone wishes you some praises, max . i’m here to support you. why are you pushing me away? ”

Your first, immediate first-thoughts on Max.

Anonymously ask my muse a question about any of their relationships you've seen them in on this blog. ( @defeatsthem )

"Egotistical jackass, but it's pretty much the same right now? He's not really proven that he doesn't know how forethought works, or thinks with nothing but his dick ... possibly not even without anger being the only emotion he understands."

‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ @defeatsthem, from here.

It was always just too easy to get a rise out of the doctor. One simple comment was always enough to worm her way under her skin, she relished in the feeling. “ Oh baby girl, you know you’re my favourite. ” The pet name delivered with a smile, a feigned concern that they both knew held some form of ulterior motive. “I’m just lookin’ out for you, Doc. Come ‘ere.” She waits not for Britt to follow her instruction, no. Her thumb swipes at the bottom of her chin, flicking off some of the remaining dried blood. “ See? I can play nice. ”

@defeatsthem asked: we need to be careful.

❛ trust me - you don’t need to worry about me being careful ❜

the slight fuzz from his stubble brushed across the skin of the blonde - the daughter of one of his closest friends. he pressed one soft kiss after another against her skin that formed a line which drew from her shoulder blade to her neck. randy had his tattoo covered arms wrapped around ashley’s waist. there were plenty of reasons he’d assume why she’d say that but none of them took up much real estate in his mind. there was no sense in focusing on those when he could focus on her instead.

“ who cares about professionalism ? the heart wants what it wants. “  // your choice!

the shocking statement left the eradicator in a state of complete shock. she had heard about various male superstars fawning over her, but AEW as well? -- well shit. looking the male up and down as if sizing him up she chuckled a bit. "i didn't take you for professional anyway..." she cocked her head looking at the man formally known as dean ambrose. "so let me get this straight, your heart wants me?"

did you really think i was that heartless? // max to april

@defeatsthem

the pair had come to a timid type of truce, something having shifted there she didn't fully understand but had accepted it with slight trepidation. punk had been rather vocal about his displeasure on their tentative... acquaintanceship? but she'd been fighting back with an almost rabid type of stubbornness, pointing out that she dared never to interfere in his own friendships. it led to her taking off for celeste's home in texas instead of her home with him, not wanting to deal with him on his days off.

but he'd managed to get under her skin, his words drilling into her skull savagely as they dripped with venom. feeding her lines about max just using april to get at himself, and she'd began to let the doubt creep in, allowed past friendships and coworkers that had done that very same thing to consume her, allowed him to twist her mind until she'd began to believe.

she'd been brought to the show to support her husband just as she always had and she'd run into max as punk had wandered off with a few other people. doe eyes had stared at him with a suspicion that hadn't been there before, and he'd asked what the problem was. april had erupted, finally asking flat out if he was just using her friendship to get at punk.

his response had brought tears to her eyes, a conflicted look in her eyes as she could hear her husbands words playing on a loop in her mind. stomach rolled with nausea as she caught the look of betrayal. ❛ i don't know what i think, ❜ her voice trembled, thick with tears.

[ tapes ] our muses make a sex tape together // tenille

@defeatsthem

He smirks against her lips, not being able to believe the idea she suggested. “A sex tape? You sure about that? Mm, fuck…and you call me the kinky one. I love it.”

Closed starter from meme for @defeatsthem

Maybe if I just hurry up and throw it in the trash, he won’t see it. All I have to do is make it downstairs and just throw it away, and we won’t have to deal with this until I’m ready. Those were the words Gionna said to herself as she tried to as quietly as she could, exit the bathroom in Maxwell’s apartment, because the last thing she wanted was for him to see the positive pregnancy test she was trying to hide in her hand. It wasn’t like she was going to hide the news from him forever, seeing as how that was impossible, but she was just scared to tell him the news just yet, because the two of them hadn’t even been together that long. It’s fine. It’s. Fine. I can just hold out a little bit longer as long as I make it downstairs…but of course Gionna’s concentration was immediately interrupted….when she ran right into Max as soon as she exited the bathroom, knocking the test out of her hand, and the stupid thing made sure it made a loud thump as soon as it hit the floor. Gionna was speechless at first, as she stared down at the little blue and white piece of plastic, because what could she even say in that moment? “Max I…..I can explain!”

@defeatsthem asked: [TEXT] - last week i purchased a vegetable (liv!)

@defeatsthem gets a finley starter ( becky )

she's no stranger to ringside , grown up her entire life watching her parents become legends . the older she gets , the more she falls in love with the world of sports entertainment . but what she will never love is seeing her mother hurt . " mama ! " she yelled as she jumps over the barricade . once in the ring , she pulls her mom into the nearest corner . meanwhile , the crowd raved . everyone loves a baby face's baby , even if she's no longer a baby , a couple years away from the cusp of being legally able to compete . " ... aye mama , c'mon , " a beat , a frown . " are you okay ? "

"I pushed you too far." // you choose both!

there were many times he said or done things out of line and yet, he allowed someone else to do it to him. this time he was getting of being pushed too far, a level that was eating at him. he was always quiet about his emotions, like he didn't wear it on his sleeves. it was only a matter of time before he questioned her feelings for him. now was the time to get the answered he needed from emma.

" then why are you doing it, huh? " he questioned her as a looks confusion fills his facial features.

I heard a rumor that you’re going to sabotage Max’s entrance at All In. Confirm or deny?

Send a rumor your muse heard about mine and they will confirm if it's true or not! ( @defeatsthem )

"Oh honey that's no rumor. I will not be wearing whatever gaudy monstrosity he or my team THINKS I'll be wearing. They agreed to it but I didn't. Ruched silver dress here I come."

@defeatsthem asked: ❝  we belong to each other.   ❞

Julia bit down on her bottom lip as she looked up at the AEW World Champion, his words running through her mind on a continuous loop as she thought of what she was going to say back to him. We belong to each other. And as much as the blonde wanted to tell him no, tell him to leave her alone, he was right. "Max..." Julia mumbled softly, her eyes looking into his as she shook her head.

"Max, you know this isn't good for us. It just doesn't work." The blonde sighed, arms crossed over her chest. As much as she wanted to believe that, she didn't want to make things awkward or uncomfortable.
