We're All In This Together - Chris Chambers Fan Fiction

eleven

Max was the second awake. It was just as the sun started to rise, she fluttered her eyes open and watched the sunrise. She realized that she was still in Chris' arms, and figured that she didn't want to be ridiculed by Teddy, so she slowly let go of his embrace and walked towards the rest of them. She noticed that Gordie wasn't with Teddy and Vern, so she looked for him until she spotted him reading a comic book on the tracks. 

"Hey Gordie," Max said as she sat down beside him. Gordie looked up from his comic book over to Max.

"Oh hey, good morning," He replied. 

"Did you sleep okay?" Max asked.

"Yeah, it wasn't too bad," He said, "I'm guessing you did too." he said with a cheeky smile. Max caught on to what he was talking about and her face turned beet red.

"Oh no, you saw?" She said, putting her embarrassed face in her hands. 

"You two looked really comfortable sleeping over there!" Gordie joked, "But seriously, I won't say anything about what I saw this morning." Max sighed and gave Gordie a side hug.

"Thank you so much," she whispered.

"No problem. But, you might wanna try to hide those," Gordie said laughing, pointing at Max's neck. All along the left side of her neck, were purple, round hickeys Chris had given to her the night before.

"Oh shit!" Max exclaimed. She draped her hair on her neck and shoulders to try and cover them the best that she could. "I'm gonna get you Chambers," Max muttered.

"Just make sure you stand the opposite side from Teddy," Gordie chuckled. Max rolled her eyes and rubbed a hand over her hickeys.

 The freight train woke the rest of them up. They all started to pack up their things, and head on their adventure. As they were packing, Chris had "needed some help," and asked Max to help him. When Max walked over to Chris, he grabbed her by the waist and hid the two behind a tree.

"What do you want, Chris?" Max laughed. Instead of talking, Chris replied by quickly and passionately pressing his lips onto hers. They made out with each other for a short few seconds, before Chris pulled away and smiled.

"I wanted to kiss you," He whispered. Max coyly smiled at Chris and whispered back,

"Well look what you did when you got too excited last night!" She pulled her hair back and revealed her hickeys. Chris' eyes widened and he traced a finger around them.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry," he said, "Let's just cover them with your hair, we don't want anyone seeing them." 

"Well, Gordie was the one that pointed them out to me, but he promised not to tell," Max replied, fixing her hair back on top of the hickeys. 

"At least it wasn't Teddy or Vern," Chris said, "Well come on, we don't want to make it look obvious." Chris and Max then walked out from behind the tree and grabbed all of Chris' things.

When they were finally ready, they had all picked some berries to have as their breakfast, and headed back on the train tracks.

"Geez Gordie," Vern started, "Why couldn't have you gotten some breakfast stuff, like uh, Twinkies, and pez and root beer?"

"Sorry Vern, I guess a more experienced shopper could've gotten more for your seven cents," Gordie replied. Max snickered at Gordie's comment and Teddy looked over at her. The five of them were walking in a horizontal line, and Max was in between Teddy and Chris, with Teddy on her left. The wind must've blown her hair from her shoulders, because when Teddy looked over at Max, he pointed at her neck and screeched,

"The fuck is that?!" All five stopped abruptly and Max quickly put a hand over her hickeys.

"What do you mean, nothing's there!" Max protested. 

"Oh I know what it is I saw, you've got hickeys!" 

"Hickeys?!" Vern gasped, "From who?" 

"They're not-" 

"I bet you got them from Mr. Lover Boy over here!" Teddy exclaimed, pointing at Chris. Chris walked in front of Max, and poked Teddy's chest.

"You shut the fuck up, Teddy." 

"So what? Are you two a thing now? Did you guys have sex while we were asleep? Did you-"

"SHUT UP TEDDY!" Max screamed. Max walked from behind Chris and stood inches from Teddy's face.

"Would you shut up for once! Yes, these are hickeys. Yes, they're from Chris. Yes, we're a thing now. But we did not, and I repeat, did not have sex! We may have almost, but all we did was make out and nothing else! So stop jumping to conclusions, and let's get a fucking move on!" Max finished, left all four slack jawed, and quickly walked down the tracks. 

"Now look what you did," Chris muttered, and ran off to catch up with Max. Gordie and Vern looked at Teddy disappointed, and the two walked off, leaving Teddy at the very back, walking alone.

Sorry it's kinda short, it's more of a filler to get ready for the next chapter. I hope you're enjoying!
