After the Fall

Binding in Willing Matrimony part 2 (More Fluff)

"So umm you guys..." Robin starts while they all still stand on the stage, all of the audience beginning to mingle around and talk to one another. "....I'm pretty sure all of my tears from this year came out today. I have never cried so hard in my life."

"You and me both Robin, you and me both." Dustin agrees, still wiping tears from his eyes.

"Mike are you crying?" Holly questions while looking at Mike, seeing him wipe tears from his eyes.

"Well you know, I kind of just saw two of my best friends marry each other and explain their feelings in the most poetic way so yeah...yeah I'm crying." Mike admits honestly.

"Aww don't cry big brother." Holly says adorably, going to give him a hug.

"I'm trying, it is deeming impossible at the moment." Mike says while hugging Holly back.

"Yeah I think we were all crying there. Gosh that was so beautiful." Joyce mentions with a bright smile. "It's honestly watching two of your children get married."

"That's exactly what it feels like honestly." Hopper agrees.

"You okay?" Nancy questions to Steve when she makes her way over to him, seeing him lightly in the daze.

Steve looks up from Nancy, rubbing his face a little with his hand to wipe away the tears. "Yeah, yeah I'm good." He replies, leaning on the wall while his hands go on his pockets. "It's crazy, watching the ones you love grow. I mean Max went from this random girl helping us setting up a trap for demadogs to this young mature woman who is now married." Steve mentions, running his hand through his hair. "I mean it's amazing, watching them grow and seeing them come a long way, it just makes you proud."

Nancy smiles while looking at all of them, seeing Dustin and Mike gesturing with their hands while explaining something, Robin Vicki Joyce and Hopper laughing while Erica goes to slap the back of Dustin's head when he says something. "Yeah, yeah you're right." Nancy smiles, going to lean on the wall next to Steve as well.

"I mean when I saw her in her dress my mind was completely blown. It's like....watching someone you feel like you've known all your life finally grow up and finally in such a good place after so much. She has just been through so much, and I am so glad that now both of them are in a good place and finally happy." Steve says.

"We all are." Nancy responds, going to lean on Steve's shoulder. Steve gives Nancy a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Alright, we are ready to mingle until we go to the party room?" Mike questions.

"Yep."

"Let's do it."

"I really hope it isn't long, I am so hungry I didn't eat anything today." Dustin says.

"Yeah me too, I was holding my stomach because I felt it could be heard growling." Suzie mentions, Eleven laughing in reply.

"As soon as Max and Lucas get done with their pictures and they are hanged up in the party room then everyone will be escorted there." Joyce mentions, all of them nodding in reply before they get off the stage and begin to talk to people in the audience.

Max and Lucas hold hands while they walk through the field, Max having a big smile on her face while they walk.

"Hey." Lucas says as he stops, making Max turn around and look at him.

"Hey." Max says back with a smile, still holding Lucas hand in hers.

"I got you something." Lucas says while taking out a small box and handing it to Max.

"Lucas." Max smiles, going to take the box and open it. It is a purple ring, more of it being a purple shiny crystal rock ring it seems like, the other ring is a purple circle ring. "But you already got me a ring." Max jokes.
