Max as a Mayor can only end disastrously. (w/ Isabelle | Max Mayor AU)
Being a Mayor sure was rough.
To be fair, Max had never asked for this. But the role of mayor was cheerily thrust upon him by the secretary, Isabelle. Clearly he had to be the mayor because they were awaiting that very person to appear. But he wasn't - and after taking the role, he'd found out that the person who had intended to take it was fine with the arrangement. So he rolled with it.
And, well. Max was not a great Mayor. He was active and he was attentive, so the townsfolk loved him. Maybe he wasn't the greatest at getting things done, but he was cool and personable.
If there was one good thing about this, according to his dad, it was that being mayor was making him far more responsible and accountable for his actions.
Still, at least half of the townsfolk were happy with the new mini skate park that was built on the outskirts. Small, but usable, since nobody wanted to completely populate the town with industrial things. But a few things like this wouldn't hurt.
Honestly, Isabelle was the person that was keeping everything afloat. Despite being Mayor by accident, his hide had been saved by the other more than once when he tried to make a decision and failed to follow through the right way.

It was another morning, and Max was walking into Town Hall to see if anything urgent had come in. Things had been rather stressful recently, and all he could hope for was that it'd be a slow day.
"Good morning, Isabelle." He closed the door behind him while greeting his assistant - she always got there before him, no matter how early he tried to arrive.

He accepted a cup of coffee, drinking a bit of it before continuing. "You know, you can call me Max. 'Mr. Mayor' is a bit too formal when it's just us here." Sure, it's what people liked to call him when he was outside, but it was kinda weird to keep being called that by his closest acquaintance when nobody else was there.

She led him out the front doors and across the train tracks into the shopping district. There was a small shop on the strip that Isabelle led him to, her hair decorations jingling all the way. "Welcome. Mayor Max... to the spa!" she threw her hands out to reveal the place to him at last.
