elmax (wip)

6

after about another 40 minutes, the movie had ended.

"okay, um, max and el, you go into the bathroom and get changed," mike says, handing them their bags which had their pajamas and pushing them in the direction of the bathroom.

"uhm?" el mumbles, slightly confused. "he wants us to change, in the bathroom, yknow, cause we're girls," max explains quietly, blushing badly. "together?" el asks, her face suddenly turning red. max nods. "oh. okay,"

the two step into the bathroom and el awkwardly shuts the door behind them. they face the opposite directions,.

they change quietly. el silently looks at max out of the corner of her eye, blushing. she quickly gets changed into her pajamas and turns around, watching max as she changes into an oversized T-shirt. max turns around only to find el's eyes already on her, immediately turning red.

"s-sorry," el squeaks as she turns around and grabs her bag, avoiding eye contact. max does the same and they walk out.

currently everyone was laying around, el on the floor, sitting on top of and covered in a bunch of blankets. max. will, and mike were sitting down, while lucas and dustin were arguing over some dumb thing.

"maaaax! come heree!" el calls out. max gets up from between will and mike and goes to lay down next to el. she says. max turns to her side and el does the same so they're facing each other. "hi." el says. "hi," max replies with a small grin.

el suddenly raises her hand and cups Max's cheek, running her thumb along her freckles which were scattered across her face. "freckles," she whispers. her eyes slowly drift up to the other girls eyes. "pretty." she states, smiling softly as she slowly moves her thumb along maxs face.

max opens her mouth to respond but all she can manage is a weak, "oh,"

"el!" dustin yells.

she immediately moves her hand from maxs face and turns to
Dustin's direction. "who's taller, me or lucas?" he asks, lowering his voice. "i don't know.. dustin looks taller," she says. (idk who's taller lmao)

"hah! told you,"dustin snaps, turning around and facing dustin, as their backs had been pressed together before m.

she leans back again, although this time not facing max. "boys," she mumbles. "i know, right? i don't know how you deal with them," max scoffs, pretending as if nothing had happened the moment before.

they talked for another 30-40 minutes, until mike announces that it's "bedtime".

will falls asleep on the couch, while mike, dustin, and lucas are sleeping behind the couch with sleeping bags. max and el lay beside each other, their shoulders touching, both of them staring at the ceiling.

"el? a-are you awake?" max whispers quietly, turning her head towards el. "yes," el whispers back, looking at max. "oh. i just.. cant fall asleep," she replies, slightly embarrassed.

"it's okay.. im here," el replies sweetly, although it comes out more serious than she meant it to. "oh. thanks," she smiles at her, although she doubts el could see.

max wakes up to the boys bickering, only to find els hands on her waist and els leg on top of hers. she feels herself start to blush.

she pushes some of her red hair out of her face, struggling to get away from her without waking her up. "max, your finally awake," will says nicely from the couch.

she finally gets away from els grip. "yeah. where are the others?" she asks, sitting beside el.

"upstairs, making breakfast," will answers. "mm.. eggos?" el suddenly mumbles, apparently still half asleep. max jumps. "god- you scared me," she mumbles, embarrassed at how badly she jumped.

"actually yes, mikes making eggos for you," will chimes in. el gets up, rubbing her eyes. "good," she responds. the three of them head upstairs and out of the basement after a minute or two.
