Oneshots: Elmax / Sillie

Prom

Max's POV:
It was the week before our senior prom, and El was stressing.

"Shit shit shit shit! I don't have anyone to go with! I can't just go by myself!" She said, pacing back and forth.
"Why don't you just ask someone out? Like... Jake or something, I know you like him."
"Ugh no! What if I get rejected in front of everyone? I might just not go."
"What, no! You have to go, it's a one in a lifetime thing."
"Well I can't! Even Ezekiel has a date!"

I chuckled, "Oh my god El, stop stressing."
"No! We have one week Max! One!"
"Exactly! So just take a couple breaths and we can plan something."
"There's no time for planning! I need a date!"

"Why don't you just go with me?" I asked, before I even realised what I said.
"What?" She asked, suddenly looking at me instead of the floor.
"I just thought... that maybe... we could go together?" I repeated hesitantly.
She smiled, "That is such a good idea! But now I need a dress!" She began pacing again as I laughed.

"We can match, we'll get something together. Now stop stressing before your hair turns grey."
"That's a real thing?!"

It was the night before prom, and I was hanging out at El's. "Have you got your dress?" I asked as she braided my hair.
"Mhm, we're going for blue right?"
I giggled, "Yes, it's a too late to change it now anyway."
"I like blue. Have you got your suit?"
"Yeah, tomorrow's gonna be so cool."
"I know right? Thanks for asking me out."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Asking me out to prom. I didn't want to go alone."
"Oh yeah, no problem. I didn't wanna go alone either."

She smiled as we continued talking and just being each other's company.
It was around midnight when we decided to head to bed.

——————————
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I opened my eyes and realised my arm was around El's waist, pulling her closer to me. Her back was facing me and that's when I realised I was spooning her.

A faint blush crept up onto my cheeks as I snuggled closer to her. I closed my eyes again and soon enough I had fallen asleep again.

I woke up to El shuffling around, and when I opened my eyes I saw the light shining in through the windows. I also felt something move from beside me, and I looked down to see El snuggled into my chest. She was still asleep, and I could hear her mumbling something.

"Got a... date- prom." She murmured, grasping onto my shirt. I smiled and held her tighter.

A couple minutes later, I heard her stir. "Maxxxxx." She mumbled, moving around.
"I'm here." I said, "Morning."
"Good...night?" She yawned, half asleep.
I giggled, "El. Wake up."

It took her a few seconds but she finally managed to wake up fully, rubbing her eyes with closed fists. She then opened her eyes and they widened as she realised how close we were.

My heart began to race as I slowly tried to move my arm away from her waist, afraid I made her feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly she grabbed my hand and snaked it around her waist again, snuggling closer to me.
"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice slightly shaking with how nervous I was.
"Shhh." She said soothingly, "You're tensing up, calm down." I nodded and exhaled, relaxing a bit. "Good girl."
That didn't help, and now my hands were getting sweaty. What is actually happening to me?

She grabbed my free hand and laced our fingers together. "Relax Max, why are you so nervous?"
I closed my eyes and shook my head, "I'm not nervous."
"Oh really?" She teased.
I nodded, "Yes, really."
"So you wouldn't mind if I did this?" She rolled me over from my side onto my back, and laid down on my chest.
