Max Mayfield wasn't used to being vulnerable. She was the cool girl, the one who didn't take crap from anyone. But ever since Eleven had come into her life, things had started to change.

It wasn't just that she had a crush on her - though that was definitely part of it. It was more that Eleven made her feel things she had never felt before. She made her feel alive.

But Eleven was always so guarded, so closed off. Max didn't blame her - after everything she had been through, it was understandable. But it also made it hard for Max to know where she stood.

So when Eleven showed up on Max's doorstep one night, tears in her eyes, Max didn't hesitate to pull her into a hug.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

"It's my powers," Eleven said, her voice shaking. "They're getting stronger, and I don't know how to control them."

Max didn't know what to say. She had always admired Eleven's powers, even though they scared her a little. But she could see the fear in Eleven's eyes, and it broke her heart.

"Hey," she said, taking Eleven's hand. "We'll figure it out together, okay? You're not alone."

Eleven nodded, and Max could feel the tension in her body start to ease. They sat down on the couch together, and Max pulled a blanket over their legs.

"You know," Max said after a few minutes, "my mom used to say that when you're scared, it helps to think of something you love. Something that makes you feel safe."

Eleven looked at her curiously. "What do you think of?"

Max took a deep breath. "My family," she said. "And...you."

Eleven's eyes widened, and Max felt her cheeks grow warm. "I mean, not like...in a weird way. Just...you make me feel safe, too."

Eleven smiled, and Max felt her heart swell. They sat there in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company.

Eventually, Eleven leaned her head on Max's shoulder. "Thank you," she said softly.

"For what?"

"For being here. For understanding."

Max wrapped an arm around her. "Anytime," she said.

And as they sat there together, Max knew that whatever came their way - monsters, government agents, Eleven's powers - they would face it together. Because that was what they did. It was in their blood
