Stranger Things Elmax One-shots

Change

A/N: modified from another book.

Max's POV:

I woke up not too long ago, and I had an interesting thought: I want to try a new look. It sounds a little confusing, but it was the first thought I had when I woke up earlier. Luckily, I had a thing of makeup in my bedroom, and when I went over to my makeup desk, I started to get to work. I applied some pale makeup, black eyeliner with an interesting pattern, and some black lipstick.

When I got dressed, I picked out mainly black clothing: black shirt, black shorts, black fishnet stockings, and black boots. I even picked out a nice, little leather jacket. I left my hair the way it is, it's already perfect. When I put all my stuff aside, I grab my school bag and went downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I see that my family has already left. Fine by me, I'm not complaining. I grabbed a quick drink of orange juice and headed out the door.

When I got to school, I saw heads turn my way. I couldn't tell if they liked the goth look, or if they hated it. I didn't really care about it, though, I wanted to dress up like this. Thank God the whole school day was normal and I didn't get any crap from anyone about my new look.

Me and El met up in the hallways, but she somehow couldn't say anything.

When I saw the look on her face, it didn't take long for me to put two and two together; the look on her face clearly meant she was obsessed with my new look and couldn't put it into words.

I decided to ask her about it later so that I don't embarrass her in front of everyone else by calling out her expression.

Later That Night

I had asked El if I could come to her house, and she happily said I could. I was happy, too. When I met with her again, we engaged in a conversation about whatever, and I decided to turn the subject into what I saw earlier.

Me: "So... I noticed your face earlier when you first saw my new look."

El quickly realized.

El: "Oh... you did? I uh...I looked stupid, huh?"

Me: "Oh, no, not at all. In fact... I liked it. It shows how much you really love my new look."

El: "It's true, though. I didn't think I'd be into goths until I saw you."

I lightly giggle.

Me: "Oh, El. I'm not actually goth, I just wanted to try a new look."

El: "I do really love it, though. It makes you look really really beautiful."

She probably couldn't tell, but through my pale makeup, I was almost as red as my hair. Seriously, that's how I was feeling right now. I never thought I'd be given a compliment like this.

Me: "Aww, thank you so much, El. That really made my day."

El: "Even though it's currently night."

The both of us have a good chuckle at this. It's true, though. El then says something I never thought I'd ever hear.

El: "Permission to squish your beautiful face with my hand?"

When she said that, she covered her mouth. I guess she didn't mean to say that. I was a little shocked, too, but deep down, I really wanted her to do it. I wanted to make it casual, though.

Me: "El...?"

El: "Uh...y-yeah?"

Me: *smiles and giggles* "You don't have to ask permission to do that."

El looked relieved. I got closer to her, and she slowly cupped her hand under my chin, and she slowly started squishing my face with her hand. I'll admit, I was really enjoying it. I never thought I'd be into stuff like that, but hey, this was something really worth enjoying.

The both of us were smiling and giggling as this was going on. After some time, we stopped. However, El kept her hand where it was, and to my surprise, she got closer and kissed me. As soon as she did, I kissed back.

Now, I knew that she didn't just like me for my new look. I've known that she's liked me for a long time, and to be honest, she's had trouble hiding it. To be even more honest, I've felt the same way about her, too, and we finally have our chance to show it.

When we pulled away, I giggled at a sight that I saw.

Me: *giggles* "A bit of my lipstick got on your lips."

El: "Really?"

I nod.

El: "That's alright, I can deal with it."

I smile a bit more. She's so adorable. I booped her nose for being so cute, and she giggles. I absolutely love her giggle, especially when her nose scrunches everytime she does so. God, she's so insanely adorable. I just wanna wrap my arms around her and take in all of her adorableness, but I figured I could do that later. For now, I gently grab her hand and place it back under my chin. She instantly smiles at this and begins to squish my face again.
