Max Mayfield and Lucas Sinclair had been through so much together. They had faced down demogorgons, mind flayers, and everything in between. But nothing could quite prepare them for what they were feeling now.
It had been a long time coming, really. They had both known that there was something more between them for a while. But they had been too afraid to act on it, too afraid of ruining the friendship that they had built.
But on this particular day, something changed. They were sitting in the park, enjoying the warm summer sun, when Lucas turned to Max and said, "I have to tell you something."
Max looked at him, curious. "What is it?"
"I...I think I'm in love with you," Lucas said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Max's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected that Lucas felt something for her, but to hear him say it out loud was something else entirely. "Lucas, I don't know what to say," she replied, her own voice shaking slightly.
"I know, I know," Lucas said, running a hand through his hair. "I just had to tell you. I couldn't keep it to myself anymore."
Max took a deep breath and looked at Lucas, really looked at him. He was handsome, she thought, with his dark skin and bright eyes. She had always found him attractive, but she had never allowed herself to think of him in that way.
But now, with his confession hanging in the air between them, she couldn't help but feel a flutter of something in her stomach. "Lucas, can I tell you something too?" she asked.
"Of course," Lucas replied, his eyes fixed on hers.
"I think I might be in love with you too," Max said, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Lucas's face broke into a grin. "Really?"
Max nodded. "Really. I've been trying to ignore it, but I can't. I care about you so much, Lucas."
Lucas reached out and took her hand. "I care about you too, Max. More than anything."
They sat there for a few moments, their hands clasped together, the world around them fading away. It was like everything had finally fallen into place, like they were meant to be together all along.
Eventually, Lucas spoke again. "So, what do we do now?"
Max shrugged. "I don't know. We could...we could try dating or something?"
Lucas's face lit up. "Yes! Yes, let's do that."
And so they did. They started dating, taking things slow at first, but quickly realizing that they were meant to be together. They went on long walks together, holding hands and talking about everything and nothing. They went to the movies and snuggled in the back row, stealing kisses in the dark.
It was like they were living in a dream, like they had finally found what they had been searching for all along. They were happy, truly happy, and nothing could bring them down.
But of course, life has a way of throwing curveballs. They had to deal with the usual teenage drama, the fights and the misunderstandings. But they always came back to each other, always found a way to work things out.
They graduated from high school together, their families cheering them on from the sidelines. They went to college together, studying different subjects but always sticking together.
After college, Lucas and Max both went to a different university.They were heartbroken.They'd always keep in contact and visit as much as they could.
Their heartbreak was over after they both graduated from university and moved in together.Their hearts had healed from being broken.They were living life the fullest even though they went to different pathways in life.
"So that's me and your mom met."explained Lucas to his six year old daughter Alison.
Alison smiled then yawned.After she was asleep.Lucas planted a kiss on her face and closed the door.
"I heard that,"Jamie said suddenly from behind Lucas.
"Jamie!!Why aren't you asleep?"Lucas whisper-yelled.
"Hey!Its not my fault Jack snores like a cow."Jamie whisper-yelled back.This took quite a lot of time too do!!Thank god it's finished :D!Have a great day/night!
