Secrets

(set in season 4, no vecna)

"Hey." Max smiled, walking up to Y/n who was waiting outside of his RV. It was an evening after school when they planned to meet up.

Neither Y/n or Max were ashamed of each other, the opposite in fact. They  were both obsessed with their partner, but they only saw each other in secret. You see, with Y/n being on Hawkin's football team, the Hawkins Hyenas, there was no way he could be seen together with the girl that skateboards and plays video games. His friends would ridicule him and Y/n could potentially lose his spot on the team. He promised Max that when the season was over that they could go in public together, whenever wherever.

"Hey, pretty girl." Y/n greeted, immediately cupping on face and planting a kiss on her lips, which Max quickly melted into. "Wanna come in?"

"Of course." The ginger nodded, as Y/n opened the front and screen door, putting a hand out to assist Max up the steps. "What a gentleman."

"Only for you."

"I'd sure hope so."

After settling in on Y/n's pull out couch, the two were cuddling and watching Family Ties. The boy had his arm around Max's shoulders and she was nuzzled into his chest while he played with her hair.

"You have the finals tomorrow. Are you nervous?" Max asked quietly, looking up at her boyfriend.

The Tigers weren't the only good sports team for Hawkins. The football team were also competing in the finals this year. Y/n and Lucas had agreed that if they could both bring home first place trophies, that highschool could be a better place than they ever imagined.

"You're gonna be there, right?"

"Yeah, I'll be with El. Lucas was supposed to come too, but he said he's busy." Max shrugged. "You know I won't miss a game."

"Well then I'll be extra nervous." Y/n smiled, flipping over to be on top of Max. She let out a squeal before Y/n connected their lips. Max put her hand on the back of his neck, deepening the kiss. Just as Y/n put a hand on her waist, Max pulled way.

"Well, if you wanna win tomorrow you should get a lot of rest." The girl smiled innocently, while Y/n sighed and flopped onto his back.

"You suck." He chuckled, throwing a blanket over them. "Goodnight, Max."

"Goodnight baby."

The next day, during a defensive drive Y/n sat on the bench in his football equipment, seemingly muttering to himself. The score was 26-18 for the Hamilton Huskies, another school in Indiana. Max watched from afar on the bleachers, wishing desperately she could go and give him some words of encouragement.

"Offense out, lets go! L/n, that means you!" Y/n's coach yelled at him, making the teen look up and run onto the field, slipping his helmet on.

"Get in the huddle, lets go." The running back ushed Y/n, patting his back.

"Okay. Strong left, fake dive right, cherry pick on silver. Strong left, fake dive right, cherry pick on sliver." Troy, the Hawkins Quarterback repeated, making sure the team knew the play. "Ready... break!"

The offense lined up in their regular positions, everyone looking at the ball. They were on their own 34 yd line, with 42 seconds left in the 4th quarter. In basic terms, they needed a touchdown.

"Ready...settt....hut!"

Nobody on the Hawkins team moved an inch, but the nose tackle for the Huskies had moved across the line of scrimmage.

One of the refs blew the whistle, running onto the field to collect the ball.

"Off side, defense #64. Five yard penalty."

Max smiled happily, joining all of Hyenas fans with their applause. This meant they were one step closer to winning.

Now at the 29 yd line, Troy called them all back in. "S.o.s on gold, s.o.s on gold. Ready... Break!"

Everyone returned to their places, with the defense being extra careful of the cadence.

"Ready... Set... Hut!"

This time, the ball was actually snapped to Troy. He faked a handoff to the running back, before looking for Y/n. He was wide open. Dropping back and lining up his throw, Troy launched a bullet pass right to Y/n's chest.

"He caught it!" Max grabbed onto El's hand excitedly, as the two girls stood up in anticipation.

Since this was a finals game for state championship, there was an announcer on the sidelines to hype up not only the crowd, but the players as well. "L/N has it in possession! He seems to be unstoppable! To the 20! The 15! They cannot grab him! To the 10! Aaaanndddd in! Touchdown, Hawkins Hyenas!"

In celebration of his touchdown, Y/n spiked the ball on the ground and shoulder bumped his teammate.

They had won.

Y/n looked up to Max in the stands, who sent him a proud smile. All he wanted to do was run over there and give her the biggest hug, but his team got to him first. Y/n was lifted onto somebody's shoulders as his team chanted his name.

Once the teams had shaken hands, all the players went to the bleachers to greet whoever had come to watch them. Y/n waited for Max and El to be released from the very long, slow line of family members and friends that were leaving their seats.

Usually, Y/n would just give her a high five to mask any sort of intimacy, but instead he pulled Max out from the crowd and hugged her tightly. The few people that noticed gave audible gasps, making more people turn.

This was Y/n's moment. Taking the microphone from the announcers table, Lucas walked over holding some sort of sign. He handed it to Y/n, who spun it around for Max and everyone else to see.

"Max Mayfield, I can't hide my love for you any longer. You've been an amazing girlfriend the past six months, and I have to ask... Will you go to homecoming with me?"

Max looked shocked, considering this was definitely not what she had in mind when Y/n said he was going to tell the team. But here they were, infront of all of Y/n's friends, with the weight of the world on Max's shoulders. "Y-Yes! Yes! I would love to."

The two shared a smile, as Y/n gently put the sign on the ground, before wrapping his arms around Max's waist. One of his teammates snatched the mic out of Y/n's hand.

"Kiss the girl! Kiss the girl! Kiss the girl!"

Y/n looked at them for a second not expecting this reaction from them. Both teens shrugged before leaning in and kissing infront of everyone. The entire team broke out into cheer, while Y/n and Max just gazed at each other happily, proud to be officially public.

(A/N: i was thinking of a part 2 with the actual dance. Yes? No? Requests? Lmk.)
