    Summary

    Max is spending a boring Saturday at home when the phone rings, with an unexpected caller on the line. Since when had Erica started calling her to hang out?

    Lucas has the Saturday night off from work, already planning on calling Max. Though she would most likely be too busy, it wasn't like she was going to just drop everything and magically appear at his house. Right?

    Summary

    Even though the air was cold, Lucas's face was still warm from all the dancing in the gym.
    He cleared his throat, figuring he should say something.
    "Did you have fun?"
    "Yeah, it didn't suck," Max said, zipping up her winter coat better. Coming from her, it was high praise.
    "Cool," Lucas nodded.
    His hand came up to rub the back of his head.
    "I—I had fun, too."
    He could see a smirk pulling at the corner of Max's lips.
    "Cool," she said.

    Summary

    Everything happens in flashes, after Max gets back. She’s here, she’s alive, Lucas is holding her; then they’re outside the rift, and it’s just the two of them, and Lucas should know what to say, but he doesn’t; then he’s in the cramped van while Steve and Dustin trip over themselves to catch Max up on everything she’s missed; and now he’s here, watching Max update Dustin on her time in Vecna’s mind as quickly as she can speak without her voice giving out.

    Well, she’s telling Lucas, too, in theory, but he feels like he’s ten miles away. He’s not sure if he even wants to know everything that happened in their lifetime apart. He should want to, because it’s Max—he should want to know everything about her. He should be proud of her for eking out a life in the wilderness while he sat at her bedside.

    He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.

    ~~~

    Lucas deals with the complicated reality of having Max back. Featuring a classic Steve Harrington pep talk.

    Summary

    “You died in my arms,” he says, his voice whisper-thin like a sheet of paper that’s crumpling as he speaks. “You fell back out of the sky with your bones broken and your eyes bleeding, and then you told me you didn’t want to die and I let you.”
    ....
    Max has a hard time adjusting. Lucas opens up to her.
