"Ah! Coz — Cosette! You're hurting me! Ah! My hair!"
Maxen furrowed his brows as Luke's voice was the first thing he heard the second he stepped onto the rooftop. He fell asleep in the class, and when he woke up and didn't see Cosette until the end of the course, he went to find her. Fortunately, the rooftop was the first thing that came into his head and his guess was correct.
Maxen followed Luke's shouts as if he was being butchered, only to tilt his head upon seeing Cosette beating up Luke.
"What are you doing?" his voice put a stop at the two, watching them slowly turn their heads in his direction. Maxen's under-eye twitched, seeing Luke's messy hair and Cosette's red face due to anger.
"Max!" Luke's eyes shone with hope, hopping away from the crazy girl named Cosette to hide behind Maxen. The latter flinched when Luke held his arm while hiding behind him, but after glancing at him, Maxen didn't have the heart to shove him away.
