Stranger Things Elmax One-shots

Voice

A/N: Modified from another book.

Max's POV:

El and I were cuddled up next to each other on her bed. There was a bit of a rainstorm going on outside, so being inside was completely worth it. I was taking in the warmth of El's embrace as I had my head resting on her chest, listening to the soothing rhythm of her heartbeat.

I was playing with her hands a little bit, too. They felt so soft against mine, and they were pretty big. Her fingers were decorated with light purple nail polish as well.

But what I really love is hearing her voice. I don't exactly know how or why, but her voice always seems to... calm me. Relax me in a sort of way. To me, it seems very soothing. I wanted to tell El for a while, but I was nervous to find out what she would say, thinking it wouldn't be good.

Of course, I figured that now would be the best time to tell her, so that I wouldn't have to worry any longer.

Me: *softly* "El?"

Without looking, I felt her body start to move a little, then she shifts down a little so that she's at my eye level, even though we're lying down right now.

El: *softly* "Yeah, Max?"

Me: *softly* "There's something that I've been wanting to tell you for a while, and... I was kind of nervous at the time, still am, but... I feel that I should tell you now."

I think El could sense my growing nervousness, because she smiled in understanding and gently placed her hand in my hair, massaging it a little bit.

El: *softly* "Of course, baby. You can tell me anything."

I gave a little smile back, despite still feeling nervous.

Me: *softly* "Okay, well..."

I took a deep breath.

Me: *softly* "I really love hearing your voice."

I said that in a sort of fast pace just to get it out of the way a bit faster. When I did, El looked a little surprised.

El's POV:

Max had just told me that she really loves my voice. It did surprise me a little bit, mostly because no one has ever complimented me like that before. I never knew anybody who loved hearing the sound of my voice. Until now.

I couldn't think of what to say.

Me: *softly* "You... you do?"

Max nods.

Max: *softly* "I know it might sound strange, but whenever I hear your voice, I feel... relaxed, in a way. I feel that your voice tends to soothe me in a way that I've never imagined. Even when I need to have a cry about something, you're always there to comfort me with your soothing voice and warm hugs."

That might just be the sweetest thing I've ever heard in my life. I felt my face getting warm, and I couldn't help but break out into a big smile, and Max smiled after me. Her smile is always so sweet.

Me: "Come here."

I grab her shoulders and pull her closer to me, pressing our lips against each other. As we engage in the kiss, I pulled myself so that I was now on top of Max, her hips straddling my thighs. I slip my tongue inside of her mouth, earning a soft moan from her.

She places both her hands on the sides of my face, making us both lean deeper into the kiss. I felt the groan of her voice make its way down my body, which made me feel so good.
