They all had a sleep over at Steve and Bella's place. None of them really wanted to be alone that night, although Eddie had to stay at Reefer Rick's, it was a good place for him to hide out. They'd get him the food he needs to stay alive.
Max was more then happy to not have to go home, she was excited for a sleepover, it felt like old times.
They all slept down stairs. Steve had an array of movies to pick from, they picked Back to the Future, one of Dustin's favourites. Steve and Dustin shared the sofa bed whilst Robin slept on the other couch and Max and Bella slept on the mattress from Belly's bed. They didn't mind, they've shared a bed multiple times before, and they're both friends still so it's fine. Isabella was content, she actually got an alright night of sleep.
And when she woke up, Dustin was spooning Steve and Steve seemed to be sleeping very peacefully. Max woke up a few moments after her and saw it, she asked if they had a camera. Isabella remembered that they did and raced up stairs to get it.
The polaroid is now on her vanity mirror, the flash didn't even wake them up.
Robin as asleep still as well so Max and Bella went into the kitchen to make breakfast. The eldest Sinclair decided on Eggo's and Max was alright with that. She piled three together and added maple syrup, Nutella, ice cream, sprinkles and chocolate syrup. Max was so happy when she saw it. They sat and chatted for what felt like forever, just talking about random stuff, catching up.
It felt nice, familiar. Belly knew that they weren't going to get back together any time soon, Robin was right about the fact that she can barely care for herself, let alone anyone else. But she's very happy that they're friends again. It makes her feel happier, knowing that Max is back in her life.
Steve and Dustin both woke up at the same time, Robin was the last to get up and they all made themselves breakfast before getting ready for the day and heading out.
Max had some old clothes at the house that she'd left there before they broke up, Isabella had just never gotten around to giving them back. Dustin had a change in his backpack, Robin just stole some of Bella's clothes and Steve's.
