Oneshots: Elmax / Sillie

Help

Max and El were walking home from school. They've been dating for around 5 months now and overall had a very good and healthy relationship.

"Alright, I've gotta go this way. I'll call you when I get home ok?" Max asked.
"Sure, bye princess." El said, hugging Max tight.
"Bye baby." Max kissed her girlfriend's cheek before pulling away and walking the other way. She waved and ran in the direction of her house, so she wasn't in trouble for being late.

As she was a few minutes away from her home, she got pulled into a dark alleyway. A man who looked much older than the girl began kissing down her neck, and Max screamed. "Let me go!" She shouted, trying to push him off.

The man had pinned her to the wall, and his hands were travelling down her body. Max began sobbing and pulled her phone out of her pocket slowly. She tried kicking and pushing the man, but it was no use. "Please." She sobbed.

The man just ignored her, and began to bring his hand dangerously close to where only her girlfriend was allowed to touch. She pressed on speed dial, and El picked up immediately. "Help me." Max sobbed into the phone, and El was scared for her.

"Where are you?" El asked firmly, already walking out the house.
"An alley." Max sobbed, the man beginning to pull her jeans down.
"I'm coming Max." Her girlfriend said, and before she could answer, the man snatched the phone away.
"No no no babygirl." His gruff voice said.

As he was about to take off Max's shirt, she heard her girlfriend shouting. "Max! Max, where are you?!" El shouted.
"El!" She screamed, but that's all she could say, since the man's heavy hands covered her mouth.
"Stay quiet or feel the consequences." He whispered.

She heard footsteps running towards her, and saw her girl shove the man off her. Max slid down the wall and sobbed on the cold and wet floor, traumatised.

El punched him multiple times, not allowing him to go anywhere. His whole face was bleeding, and she kicked him in between the legs. She grabbed the now weak man and threw him to the ground. "Go near my girl again, and you won't make it out alive." She growled in his ear.

He gave a small nod and El kicked him in the nose, breaking it as well as knocking him out. She then ran to Max and sat in front of her, worried that touching her would scare her even more. But surprisingly, Max threw herself on El, burying her face into her neck. She began crying, and El just rubbed her back soothingly, whispering reassuring words into her ears.

The red head was half naked, but neither of the girls cared, Max felt safe in her girlfriend's arms. They stayed there for a few minutes, until El felt Max shivering. "Come on princess, let's put your clothes back on." She said softly.

Max nodded and put on her clothes, with the help of El since she was feeling weak after all the crying. As soon as she was done, she went back into her girl's arms, and El picked her up. Max wrapped her legs around her waist and her arms around her neck, lying her head on her shoulder comfortably.

El held her by the waist as she called Hopper on her phone. Within half an hour, the man was being shoved into the back of a police car, and Max was asleep on El's shoulder. Hopper talked to his adopted daughter for a bit about what happened until he went back to the station to put the man in jail.

El stroked her girlfriend's fiery hair, and whispered softly, "Princess."
"Hmm?" Max answered sleepily.
"Wanna go back to mine?" She asked softly, "You can sleep in my bed."
"Yeah. I wanna stay with you though." The sleepy girl mumbled.
"Anything for you." The brunette answered, and she began walking home, the sleeping girl still in her arms.

10 minutes later, she arrived at the cozy cabin. Hopper was already there, and he gave a small smile to El as she smiled back. The girl then walked to her room, and lay her girlfriend down on her bed. She took off both their shoes before lying next to Max. She spooned her gently, and Max snuggled closer.
"I love you El." She mumbled.
El smiled, "I love you too Max."
They soon fell asleep.

————————————————————————————————————————————-
After the incident, Max flinched slightly when people touched her. But El helped her carefully grow out of this, and was always gentle and cuddly with her, whatever her girlfriend was comfortable with.

Within a month, Max was ok, thanks to the help of El. She felt the safest in her girl's arms, so most nights one of them would sneak out so they could cuddle each other and fall asleep together.

Max and El created an even stronger bond after the incident. Max was forever thankful El saved her. And El was forever thankful Max was safe.
