Summary
Max brings it up the way he brings up most things that matter to him: sideways, without looking at Daniel, in the middle of something else entirely.
They're in Max's kitchen in Monaco — the good one, the one with the window that looks out over the harbour, where Daniel has spent approximately forty percent of the last two years either eating Max's food or stealing Max's tea and pretending it was his — and Daniel is talking. He's been talking for a while. That's not unusual. Daniel fills silences like water fills a container, and Max has always let him.
"I think I just need to not think for a while," Daniel is saying. "Not about racing, not about lap times, not about any of it. I said to — I said to someone the other day, I never want to think about racing again. Not for a long time. Maybe not ever."
He laughs when he says it. A relieved laugh. A can you believe I made it laugh.
Max says, almost into the sink: "You don't have to stay. Now that you're done."

Summary
Max had just — Max had been Max about it, which meant he'd wanted something and then pursued it with the exact same focus and total disregard for obstacles that he brought to everything else in his life. Max wanted a championship, so he drove like a man possessed and fought for every tenth of a second. Max wanted Daniel, apparently, so he'd shown up at Daniel's hotel door.

Summary
“Something wrong Maxy?”
Max wrung his hands and shifted from foot to foot, staring at the blanket like it had offended him somehow. “I-” He faltered. His voice became small and quiet. “I don't know how.”
“‘Don’t know how’ to what?”
“Build a nest.” He was avoiding Daniel’s gaze, blue eyes firmly fixed on the floor between his feet. “I’ve never…I spent so long pushing who I am away that now…Daniel I think that I'm broken.”
OR:
Daniel is obsessed with Max's scent. Max won't build a nest. Daniel buys him a blanket and Max has a breakdown about it that leads to him going into heat.Bookmarked by a78952134
