Stranger Things What Ifs

Chapter Forty Eight

What if....Lucas was Max's young Sugar Daddy? (Fluff and light angst) (continues a day after chapter forty seven)

***********************************************

Max feels her eyes begin to slowly open, her not remembering the last time she has gotten sleep so good before. The covers were so soft and warm against her skin, the mattress seeming like she was laying on clouds, Lucas....

Lucas.

Max goes to raise up while wiping her eyes, not seeing Lucas in the bed. She goes over to the room across from his, seeing all of her things in suitcases, some of it being hanged up. She rummages through the suitcases before she finds her toothbrush, her going to brush her teeth and wash her face before putting on some of her night shorts and going to make her way down the stairs.

"Lucas?" Max looks around, her hearing laughing from downstairs. "Lucas?"

"Over here Babygirl!"

Max finds her way to the kitchen, her seeing Lucas and Steve in the kitchen cooking while Nancy Eleven Suzie and Robin all sit around the counter on the barstools, all of them looking over at her.

"Oh my god Max!" Eleven quickly says and goes to run over to her to hug her tightly.

"Are you okay?!" Nancy questions concerned.

"Oh my goodness Max we're so sorry." Suzie says.

"We got so worried because normally you call after getting off work but Will told us what happened and Lucas here invited us here for breakfast." Robin explains.

"Hey you okay Mayfield?" Steve questions while going over to her.

Max nods her head, going to hug all of them. "I'm okay."

"I'm glad you all are here." Lucas says, him going to wipe his wet hands with a paper towel. "I have to take care of some things, I don't want her being alone."

"Thank you so much for calling us." Nancy says.

"Yeah of course." Lucas nods. "Still can't believe you're with Steve Harrington. I've known this fool since business school."

"Hey a awesome fool!" Steve laughs.

"You both know each other?" Max questions.

"Yeah we took a business course together to earn our certificates and licenses." Steve says. "Damn this dude was smart."

"Yeah we had a fun time in there." Lucas smiles. "It's good to see you."

"It's good to see you too man." Steve says.

"Well you all help yourselves, I made a little of everything." Lucas says.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lucas answers, him going to pull Max to the side. "How are you feeling today?"

Max forces a little smile on her face, her nodding her head. "Yeah, yeah I'm good."

Lucas looks at her for a moment, first going to feel her forehead with the back of his hand, feeling her head temperature back to normal. "You know you can talk to me right?"

Max closes her eyes softly when one of his warm hands goes on her cheek. She is honestly tired of crying, she pretty much cried herself to sleep all last night. Going to sleep peacefully then dreaming and waking up in a nightmare and Lucas consoling her softly while she cried and cried before she went back to sleep and repeated the action once again before she was actually able to go back to sleep without any dreams.
