Stranger Things Elmax One-shots

Slight Mishap

A/N: Modified from a different book.

Max's POV:

Something completely unexpected happened about a week ago: Eleven asked me out on a date. I decided to accept it, and plus, I've never really been on a real date before. I mean, I have with Lucas, but those weren't really that great, so I knew I was in for a surprise.

I had the task of picking the place where we would have our date, and I decided on Enzo's. Hopper and Joyce have been there, and they said it was a lovely place, so I couldn't wait to see what it was like.

Right now, I've got my light blue mini-dress on, and I'm bringing a small backpack with me with some stuff in it in case we needed it at some point. Got to think ahead, of course.

Eleven's POV:

I asked Max out on a date last week, and she actually accepted. I was so happy when she did, cause I've always wanted to go on a date with her. I've never really actually been on a real date. I mean, I have with Mike, but they weren't really that great, so I was a bit nervous, but hey, I got this.

Right now, I'm putting on my purple mini dress, and with that, purple lipstick, and my favorite purple heels, to show off the fresh coat of purple polish on my toenails, which I applied earlier today.

Max picked the restaurant for our date, and it's a really cool place called Enzo's. Afterwards, we were going to go for a walk through the park. Good way to close off the night, for sure.

Max's POV:

Once Eleven and I met up, we headed to the restaurant, and it's good that it wasn't that crowded. The food and the drinks there were really great, we loved it so much. When we left the restaurant, we headed into the park. Thank god there was no one else there, which meant we had the whole park to ourselves.

Eleven's POV:

I'm really enjoying this walk, and I did not want it to end anytime soon. Though, I probably shouldn't have said that last part, because at one point, I took a step, and my foot sunk. It just straight-up sunk into the grass.

I found myself stuck and I couldn't pull my foot out, but Max was by my side the whole time, and she helped get me free. When I was out, I saw that there was something covering my foot. It felt soft, but also a little sticky.

Me: "Eww, what is this stuff?"

Max: "Oh, uh... that is what we call 'mud.'"

I look at Max with a confused expression.

Me: *slowly* "Mud?"

Max: "Yeah... I'll explain later."

Me: "Okay."

I decided to take off my heels. It felt a little weird to touch the one that had the... mud... on it.

Me: "Could we maybe go take a seat?"

Max: "Yeah, sure. There's a bench over there."

Max and I head towards the bench, we sit down.

Max: "So... enjoying our date so far?"

Me: "Yeah... aside from my shoe getting ruined, it's been pretty nice."

Max: "Well, if you want, I could help clean your shoe."

Me: "How?"

Max pulls out a backpack that she had with her the whole time.

Max: "With this."

Max opens her bag and takes out some water and a washcloth.

Me: "Wow..."

I'm surprised that Max had the right stuff.

Max: "Yep. Gotta think ahead, sometimes."

I hand Max my ruined shoe, and she gets to work. She gently poured some of the water on it, and she carefully wiped it with the washcloth, and I see that the mud is coming off. It didn't take long, and pretty soon, my shoe was clean. Then, she takes out a towel and dries my shoe. She handed it back to me afterwards.

Me: "Wow... I'm impressed."

Max smiles at me. Her smile is so adorable.

Max: "Thank you."

Max gets down on the ground and gently grabs my foot. She pours water on it and gently cleans it, with a different washcloth this time. Once it was clean, she dried it with the towel. She got back up on the bench.

Max: "There we go."

Max's POV:

Me: "Better?"

El: "Much better. Thank you so much."

Me: "No trouble at all."

As I was talking, I noticed El just staring at me. I was a bit confused, so I stopped. She continued staring, and with a smile on her face.

Me: "What?"

At that, El gently places her hand on the side of my face, leans in, and she slowly places her beautiful, soft lips onto mine. She was kissing me. El was finally kissing me. I closed my eyes and engaged in the kiss, wrapping my arms around her waist as I did so. Her body felt so warm up against mine.

After pulling away, we decided to head back to my place. El wanted me to carry her because she didn't want to accidentally step in anymore mud. Even though that probably wouldn't happen again, I happily decided to. I picked her up bridal-style, and we started our walk back home.
