You and Max thing was..complicated.

It was 1987. World wasn't very much friendly with queerness, let alone such a small city like Hawkins.

At the start, you tried to hide feeling, than she tried too, but since the 85 summer, when you 'accidentally' kissed when was just a ice cream snd mall day, it felt harder than ever to hide.

To hide that you two were in love. Two girls

Things got..hotter after a while. But when you woke up, with her, pure, no clothes, just her, something clicked

You two couldn't do it anymore. I mean, people at school were already suspecting. Lucas pinning Max with words.

Terrified, she embraced the idea of dating Lucas, but the thought of you stayed in her mind.

You felt like part of you had died when she entered in coma. For Lucas, he knew you two were close friends (maybe closer than what he even thinks) so he was fine with the idea of both of you and him visiting Max in the hospital in the hope of waking up.

But one day

Was your both..anniversary, was when your firtst happend, so you naturally tried to dress up more nicely, some makeup, praying for whatever you could belive or just in a shoot in the dark that Max woke up from her coma.

In the upside down, when she was going through the small portal, the bridge between the upside down and the actual world, she felt like she was the strangest person ever, ruinning like she never did, she reached out for you in the vision.

And then, just like magic she actually woke up. Her finger seeking for yours.

Lucas smiled at your side.
