Boyfriends ~Byler

Date

Completely unaware of the events transpiring at the Wheeler's house, Eleven readied herself to have a date with Max at Starcourt mall. She pulled on her favorite multicolored jumper, a token of Max and El's past hangout. 

She inhaled nervously, calming herself. After alerting Hopper of where she was headed, El was off to Max's house. Once there, she rang the doorbell, her heart thumping in her chest. The distant sound of Max's calming voice could be heard saying; "I'll get it." 

The door was pulled open by a smiling Max, wearing the same outfit she wore the first time the two girls went shopping. Reminiscent of this, the two rode by bus to Starcourt mall.

"What should we do first?" El asked, once they had left the bus. 

"Time-out arcade?" Max asked with a devious smile. El nodded, with an equally wide smile. 

The two played a multitude of games including Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Tetris, and Frogger. After using up a good portion of their money, they decided to call it quits. 

"I wish I had more money." Max laughed with El. Then, she gained a sweeter, more serious tone. "But as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter." Max smiled. El blushed fuchsia. 

With their remaining funds, the girlfriends went to Scoops Ahoy, where they annoyed Steve and Robin and shared a strawberry shake with two striped pink straws.

When they finished, Eleven lead Max to a less crowded area outside the mall. She carefully reached for Max's hand. "Thank you, Max. This was really fun. I'm sorry I didn't like you at first, but I'm glad I got to see how awesome you are." Now it was Max's turn to blush. 

After a moment of holding hands, the two decided it was time to head home. They stopped at Max's house first. El walked up to the front door with Max. As Max was about to head in, she turned around and kissed El on the cheek. 

"Bye." she peeped out before going inside, her face bright pink.

Not nearly as red as El's face though, as she stood, speechless, on the doorstep. When El finally started to head back to Hopper's home, she had a huge grin spread across her face.

I hope you enjoyed this sweetness before we go back to the sadness. Tell me if you want some more Elmax, or even a separate fanfic for it! 

I'm going on vacation for a week, so there won't be updates for a few days, but I'll try to update when I get back. Sorry, my schedule has been a bit weird lately. 

Anyways, I hope you're enjoying the story, and hold tight! xoxo
