[It takes him by surprise, enough to make a noise, one he tries to muffle, followed by holding his breath. But isn't this about what he imagines Blanca doing, casually slipping into Ash's bed as if it were normal even when they weren't a couple yet? He knows. This is one of the few things given up by breaking up, and Ash will not take him back, no matter how happy it'd make Max while Ash still wants Max to be happy. He'll do anything for love, but not Max. That's how it is, right?
This isn't the time for those thoughts. How long had he slept together with Ash, while his troubled boyfriend kept his troubles repressed, seeming to sleep peacefully as long as Max was around? This lowered guard is because he expects to be alone. This is wrong. This is invasive.
But none the less, as if it were normal (it feels too normal, too natural) his arm goes around him, tightly, pulling Ash's body against his own.]
