Max/Sadie imagines

'I had a really nice dream the other night'

Things have been rough for Max. Things with Vecna. Everything is all over the place. You and Max are back on speaking terms after she cut you off. You're sat in Mike's basement just watching Max, making sure she's okay.

You go sit next to her and lean back against the wall. She sighs and lays her head on your shoulder.

"Y'know, i had a really nice dream the other night." You say.

"And did your dream happen to include someone from the group?" Max asks.

You nod with a hum.

"Did your dream... include me?" Max asks.

You stay quiet.

"I finally took you on that movie date. We finally watched that movie you've been dying to watch." You say.

Max looks at you.

"Labyrinth." You both say at the same time.

You look at her.

"We got popcorn to share, a big bucket. We went to mine after the movie and i gave myself a 2nd degree burn making food for us both. You took me to the hospital. Then i continued the food when we got home. We sat together on the couch, eating horrifically cooked food and snacks and drinks just watching movies on the VCR together." You say.

Max looks down.

"Promise me we'll go to the movies together when this is all over." Max says.

You look at her and hold up a pinkie. She looks at it.

"These are important to me. I'm taking you on that movie date if it kills me." You say.

Max smiles.

"Maybe not that far." She says, locking her pinkie around yours.

"Max, I'm taking you to the movies. If it kills me. I dont care what i have to do to watch that movie with you." You say.

Your POV

The credits roll on Labyrinth. That was an amazing movie. Bowie was fantastic. He made me laugh a few times. It's been a while but i bought Labyrinth on VCR so we can watch it together while in bed, cuddling.

I look at Max, my smile fading.

She's still in this bed.

It's all Jason's fault.

I wish i could've killed him myself.

He put my girl in this hospital bed. And the only form of payback i got was that the ground ripped him in half. Which i guess is something but i wanted to be the one to do it.

He took everything from me.

He broke the headphones.

He stood on them.

He shattered them.

He's the reason she's here.

I look back at the blank screen and my happiness just fades. I get off of Max's hospital bed. Lucas walks in with El, Dustin, Will and Mike closely following.

"Y/n?"

I look at them.

Will walks to me and hugs me.

I couldn't keep her safe.

I got her here.

I just want her to wake up.

Well that was different. I nearly died today. On a genuine. I'm not exaggerating. I actually nearly died.

Oh well, lol. Byeee :)
