After the Fall

Babysitting (Fluff and Smut)

"Do you think I would be able to pull off a buzz cut?" Max suddenly questions while looking at the magazine in her lap, sitting on the table that holds the register.

Eleven looks up from her magazine, her sitting on the other end of the table. "Buzz cut?"

"Yeah you remember when your head was shaved, you still looked good then. Would I look good with a buzz cut? Would I look like her?" Max questions while showing El the picture of the girl in the magazine.

Eleven looks between the woman on the magazine and Max, her eyes focusing each time she looks. Eleven shakes her head after some time. "No, please keep your hair."

Max laughs, going back to looking at the magazine. Since Joyce needed to run more errands Max and Eleven volunteered to watch over the store since they were bored and the boys were at work anyways. Suzie started a new telemarketing job for selling computers so El and Max did not want to disturb her while she works, plus Joyce promised compensation for helping her out.

It is something both Max and Eleven decided to do frequently for Joyce to earn some money here and there, they don't want the boys doing everything on their own and they want to help out, plus they just want to have funds on their own.

"I think we should volunteer here. As a job." Eleven mentions, she enjoys actually working here, she enjoys working the register and working here at the store. It is something simple that Eleven catches onto quickly.

Max nods. "We can, we can ask Joyce when she gets back. We also have babysitting Holly as well."

"Are you looking after her tonight?"

"Yeah after I get back actually, she is not staying the night though, only until like ten thirty I think." Max responds.

Eleven nods. "Well Mike is taking me to the movie."

"What movie?"

"I don't know, he says it is a surprise." Eleven smiles, flipping the page on her magazine.

Max smiles, turning her body towards El. "Is it Rated R?"

"Rated R?" Eleven questions, her face kind of confused like.

"Like mature, eighteen or older. Violence, gore, sex?"

"What about sex?" Both Max and Eleven turn around to hear the bell ring while Hopper walks into the store, taking off his hat in the process.

Both Max and El look at each other before laughing lightly. "Nothing." Max replies, going to sit at the other side of the table to face Hopper.

"Please do not give the old man a heart attack." Hopper mentions while holding a hand on his chest.

Eleven giggles, hopping off the table and going to give Hopper a hug and a kiss on his cheek.

"Where's Joyce?" Hopper questions while giving a kiss on Eleven's cheek as well.

"Running errands." Max replies while still looking at her magazine, a bag of chips at the middle of the table that she is snacking on.

"If I tell you both a secret do you promise to keep it under wraps?" Hopper questions, holding his hat in front of him.

"Yes."

"No."

Both Eleven and Hopper turn to look at Max. "Well it just depends on what it is." Max shrugs.

"Well I want to surprise Joyce, but I honestly have no idea how to do surprises." Hopper admits.

Eleven smiles brightly, clapping her hands. "I love surprises."
