This takes place the night of the last chapter :)

Max's POV-

Jane's clothes were all sorted out, and we were both exhausted. I changed into my pajamas in the bathroom while Jane changed in my room, because for some reason we still didn't change in front of eachother even though we had been together for a week.

I wrestled my hair into a messy bun and brushed my teeth slowly. I wanted to take my time so I wouldn't walk in on Jane changing, I didn't wanna make her uncomfortable.

Once I was done in the bathroom, I walked back to my room and shut off the hallway light as I walked past it.

I knocked on my door twice, "Love, are you finished?"

"Mhm." I heard her muffled voice from behind the door.

I creaked open the old door to reveal my adorable girlfriend waiting for me on my bed, tucked under the covers, and wearing my pajamas. Even though she practically brought her whole closet over, she still insisted on wearing my pajamas. Seeing her wear my clothes made me fall in love with her all over again.

Without warning, I rushed up to her and laid on top of her, giving her a bone crushing hug. She squealed slightly as I buried my face into her neck and sighed contently through my nose.

"I love it when you get all cuddly." Jane smiled, playing with the hairs escaping my messy bun and twirling them in her fingers.

"Mm." I hummed tiredly, falling asleep to her touch. I let my eyes flutter shut and I cuddled myself into her more.

Jane placed a soft kiss on my forehead, it was slow and delicate. A small tired smile tugged at my lips, and I pecked her neck in response.

She turned us over so that I wasn't on top of her anymore, we were both on our sides and cuddling into each other. I was barely awake at that point. My whole body molded onto hers and I had never felt so relaxed.

"I love you so much, Maxine Mayfield." Jane mumbled, her warm breath colliding with my skin.

"And I love you even more, Jane Hopper." I whispered back, drifting to sleep.

She placed one more petite kiss on my forehead before intertwining our fingers and falling asleep.

<<<Time skip: the day of the trip>>>

"I forgot my sunscreen!" Dustin cried out. He kept scrambling through his bag as if it would magically appear.

"It's okay Dustin, we literally all brought sunscreen." Mike sighed, tired of Dustin panicking all morning.

"But none of you brought SPF 90!" He exclaimed.

"That exists?!"

As the boys chattered loudly, I was practically falling asleep at my desk since it was 5:00 in the morning. We were required to show up at 4:45 since we had to prepare everyone and take busses to the pier where the ship was.

Jane looked over at me laying my head down on my desk and turned her head sideways to match mine.

"How are you holding up, sleepy?" She asked with a small smile.

"Meh." I groaned. I was pretty frustrated that I couldn't get comfortable enough to take a power nap before the big trip.

"Come here." She motioned, tilting her head back up.
