After the Fall

The Great Mystery of the overheating oven (Fluff)

The smell of fresh crisped bacon can be smelled along with eggs, chatter can he heard from downstairs as well as the TV. Lucas begins to stir, wiping his eyes to get the morning off of them. He looks at Max, still seeing her sound asleep in his arms. He yawns, subtly and quietly and slowly getting off the bed while not waking up Max. He covers her up more, going to put a towel around his waist.

Lucas looks at the clock, seeing that it is past eleven AM. He puts the clothes thrown around the room in the hamper, telling himself he will come back up here to put them in the washer. He grabs a pair of clean boxers and blue sweatpants, going over to Max to lightly tuck the hair away from her face.

He just takes his time to admire her, seeing her red soft lips together while she sleeps, her light snores being heard. Her bed head making her look more adorable then she already is, her long eyelashes being seen while her eyes are closed. The way her chest slowly rises and falls, letting Lucas know once again that she is breathing and she is here. The light freckles on her face, all of her features, just all of her makes Lucas smiles, and he can't help but admire her everyday.

"Max?" Lucas whispers, still seeing her sleep. She doesn't respond, she only pulls the blankets more towards her, snuggling closer to the pillow. "Max."

Max groans, making Lucas laugh a little, knowing she isn't a morning person. "I'm just trying to let you know I'm about to shower and I'll be downstairs okay?"

"Mhm." Max hums back.

"Love you." Lucas says, kissing her softly on the cheek before leaving out of the room. Max turns to the other side, going right back to sleep.

Lucas goes in the shower, quickly washing himself up and drying off after he is done. He goes to put on his boxers and his sweatpants before leaving out of the bathroom, going back to the room to put his towel in the hamper and bringing the hamper downstairs. When he is halfway down the stairs he sees Dustin and Suzie in the kitchen, both of them still in their nightwear while Suzie flips the pancakes.

"I heard them Dusty bun! They were getting down and dirty!" Suzie whispers, her eyes concentrated on the pancakes in the pan.

"It's apart of love Suzie poo, they are just expressing it." Dustin reasons. Don't get him wrong it still grossed him out, but at the end of the day Lucas and Max are their own people and they can do whatever they want to do. He is just glad that he sleeps really heavy to hear them during the night, but he definitely heard them this morning, all of them did.

"Not judging, I just didn't think love could be so loud." Suzie comments.

"Right?!" Dustin responds.

Dustin and Suzie look behind them when they see Lucas come down the stairs. "Good morning!" They both exclaim at the same time, Dustin and Suzie looking at each other after they say it.

"Morning." Lucas responds.

"Good morning Lucas!" Mike says from the living room. Him and Eleven still in the sleeping bag while watching the princess bride.

"Hi Lucas." Eleven says while waving at Lucas.

"Morning everyone." Lucas responds, he goes to put his clothes in the washer, starting it up before going back to the kitchen, grabbing a plate.

"Where's Max?" Suzie questions.

"She's still sleeping." Lucas responds, going to put some food on his plate, he looks up and Suzie and Dustin to see them looking at each other. "What?"

"Nothing." Both Dustin and Suzie say at the same time quickly.

Lucas looks between them before saying an okay rather awkwardly, going to the couch to sit down and eat.
