Caroline sighed as sat on the pink couch she shared with Max. At the moment the sarcastic roommate was out getting more ingredients for her cupcakes, leaving Caroline alone in their apartment. The blonde pulled out her phone and went to her music, selecting 'Recently Added'. She had felt slightly guilty when she had bought a $5 iTunes gift card for herself the other day but when she heard the soft strums of the acoustic guitar all her guilt melted away, her muscles relaxing and a soft smile spreading across her lips as her eyes closed.
You be my princess
And I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
On rainbow road
Caroline thought back to how amazing Max looked in that wedding dress, like a real princess. Max truly was beautiful, even if the black haired woman refused to think so. Caroline felt goosebumps rise on her skin thinking about how close the two were dancing, the blonde wishing they had danced closer but didn't want Max to feel uncomfortable.
Protect you from red shells
Wherever we go
I promise
No one will touch us
If we pick up a star
And If you spin out
You can ride in my car
When we slide together
We generate sparks
In our wheels and our hearts
When Max had told her that she wasn't ready to live without her Caroline swore she had fallen more in love with Max than she already was. For Max to be the first one to admit something like that was a big step for the short woman. Caroline felt guilty for feeling a wave of smugness when she thought of Deke and how Max had told him she loved him; Max had told Caroline she loved her first. She loved Caroline first, that was something Deke would never have.
And The finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again
She wished she could tell her roommate how she felt, truly felt for her; how she was the most important person that has ever walked into her life and she would refuse to be parted from her, even if she had to have sex with an old man. Caroline shivered at the memory of Lester and the fact that she really would've had sex with him so she and Max could be together until Sofie came and saved them.
Oooooooh
La Da Da Da Da
La Da DA
The blue shell is coming
So I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
It'll hit me instead
But never look back
Cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you
A future without Max was something Caroline refused to think of, Max was all she saw when she looked forward.
Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Just Eat this glowing mushroom
And they'll all fade away
Caroline clicked on her camera roll, a small laugh bubbling in her throat at her secret picture of Max in the wedding dress dancing with Claire's father. Caroline glanced up smiling at the fact that her bouquet was still alive. After the two had made a run from the reception Max had stored away the wedding dress, claiming they could sell it for money, but Caroline knew that Max would sometimes put it on and twirl around in front of the mirror with a genuine smile on her face.
And The finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again
Oh And The finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again
Caroline sighed as she heard the song was coming to an end, wishing she could be forever placed in the moments where Max looked at her like she was the light in a dark tunnel, like she was the only thing Max saw. Caroline had told Max the truth when she said that marriage meant something to her and wouldn't walk down the aisle wearing the dress. She only wanted to walk down it if Max was at the end waiting for her.
To the mushroom cup
And the flower cup
And the star cup
And the reverse cup
"You're not going to masturbate on the couch now too, are you?" Max's sarcastic voice suddenly rang through Caroline's ears, the music still pumping through her ear buds. "What song are you listening too, Miss-I-Spent-Five-Dollars-On-Music?" Caroline blushed, knowing Max had caught her. Of course she would, they shared an iTunes account. Max went over to the counter to put down the bag of ingredients before joining Caroline on the couch, putting her arm casually over the others shoulder.
"Mario Kart Love Song." Caroline doubted that Max would remember what song was playing when they had danced together, it wasn't in the black haired woman's nature to remember such sentimental things like that anyway.
Max grinned as she began to play with Caroline's hair, her eyes never leaving the blonde's. "You mean our song?" Caroline took in a sharp breath, a small smile creeping onto her face as she nodded to Max's words.
Ooooooooh
Wa la la la la la
Wa la la la la la waluigiiiiii
"Our song."
