Before I really used to dis-like Tess. Them together grew on me. Now I read fics with Max and Tess.
Here's a part from a fic I started once, if the situations were reversed, blah blah. I know it's not original. Anyway.
Max put his pen down. Trying to do his homework now was hopeless. And anyway, Tess was supposed to arrive at any moment. As if it was reading his mind, the doorbell rang. Max hurried to open the door.
“Hi,” he managed to get out, before Tess attacked him with kisses. “Uh… come in?” He sat down on the couch and Tess sat down next to him.
“What did you bring?” Max nodded towards Tess’ bag.
“When Harry Met Sally, our favorite,” Tess said.
“Funny,” Max remarked. They both hated that movie.
“I was so worried,” Tess rested her head against Max and ignored his comment. “I thought you were hurt.”
“I’m not, though,” Max pointed out.
“Let’s not watch the movie,” Tess raised her head off Max’s chest and looked him in the eye. “Let’s do other…stuff.”
“Stuff?” Max raised an eyebrow. Did she mean what he thought she meant? His suspicions were confirmed as she kissed him deeply. “I should get shot every day. Nearly shot at-“ Max quickly caught himself. He wasn’t sure why he wasn’t telling Tess the truth, but he knew something was strange about what happened, and he wanted to find out what it was, first.
“That’s not funny,” Tess hit him playfully. Apparently she didn’t catch what he said. “I nearly died.”
“And the gun wasn’t even pointed at you,” Max grinned.
“I can’t believe you’re taking this so lightly. Wait, no; I can believe it, because you’re such a jerk.” Tess folded her arms across her chest.
“And you love me for it.”
Tess stuck out her tongue at him. And then she admitted, “yes, I do.”
Max wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “I love you, too. For loving me despite me being a jerk, and because you’re the total opposite of a jerk.”
“Am not,” Tess protested silently, and snuggled in closer next to Max. After a while she said, “you’re not a jerk, though. You’re my King.”
When Mr. Evans walked in, the two were spooned together, fast asleep.
I wasn't that big of a fan of Tess until she went to stay with Jim and Kyle and we got to see how great the three of them were together.
