Hey guys! I wanted to throw an idea your way to see what you think :) im considering starting another Stranger Things fic. This one wont end of course (not yet lol) but I was thinking of setting it right at the end of high school for the boys. Would you guys want to read a different story at all, though? Let me know :) also, as usual, enjoy!

Chapter 20:

Maggie felt like a dream to Will. She was a perfectly normal, perfectly beautiful woman that liked him, that wanted to be around him. He had gotten comfortable around her, so much so that he invited her to Mike's for Dustin and Lucas' end of the summer get together.

Maggie was just excited at the potential of having friends. The hours she worked when she first became a nurse made it hard to have a social life. Not to mention, most of the girls she spent time with in high school left after graduation and never came back. Hawkins was a small town, and most people couldnt wait to move on to bigger things.

Will and Maggie got there after everyone else. Lucas and Dustin were already trying to convince Mike to let Eleven take shots with them. Will gently closed the door behind himself and Maggie, but gained everyone's attention finally.

"Will!" Lucas cheered loudly. "You made it. You even brought the hot nurse." Will blushed immediately, and Maggie just laughed. She extended her hand to Mike, the owner of the apartment, to be polite.

"Hi, I'm the hot nurse, but you can call me Maggie." Mike shook her hand, then glanced over just in time to see Dustin encouraging Eleven to throw back a shot. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Come on, guys, she's never taken shots before. You're going to make her sick." Maggie looked back at Will amongst the chaos, and he almost looked apologetic. She moved to where he was standing and grabbed his hand.

"They seem like lovely people. Now, Will Byers, let's see which one of us has the stronger liver." She shot him a wink, then pulled him along to join in on whatever drinking game Lucas and Dustin were trying to teach El.

Once everything began to die down, and Dustin and Lucas were passed out in Mike's living room, Will and Maggie sat at the kitchen table with the only other couple in the house. Eleven was swaying slightly, keeping her hands in her lap and trying to steady herself but failing. Eventually she just let her body lean into Mike's, and let her head rest on his shoulder.

"Thank you for letting me tag along," Maggie said to Mike. "Will wasn't so sure he should bring me. He may be just a tad embarrassed by you guys," she joked playfully, glancing over at Will. He was so shy. It was part of what attracted her to him. For once, she didn't feel like a guy only wanted her for a night and nothing more.

"I am, too," Mike chuckled, putting his arm around Eleven to let her lean against his side more comfortably. He rubbed her shoulder with his thumb. "No, they're not so bad. It's just that they're getting ready to go back to college again, and they wanted one more night of drunken stupidity with me and Will before they left."

"It must be nice, having childhood friends." Maggie smiled a bit at Eleven as her eyes fluttered closed. She really shouldn't have let them make her drink so much. "I never had that luxury."

"Well, you can now," Will told her, and she smiled even more. "Im glad you came."

"Im glad Will finally has a woman in his life," Mike added, grinning over at his long time friend. "He spent so much time being sick, he never bothered trying. I think you're going to be good for him, Maggie. Just treat him well."

"Yes," Eleven muttered sleepily, her eyes still close. "Or I'll ki-"

"You'll do nothing because you need sleep," Mike cut her off quickly. Maggie surely wouldnt be too fond of being threatened even if Eleven was drunk and half conscious. He stood, pulling her up with him. He turned and lifted her onto his back, bringing her legs around his waist.

"I guess that's our cue, then," Maggie sighed, standing up as well. Will followed suit, then led the way towards the door, Maggie close behind. "It was nice to meet y'all. Properly, that is."

"You, too. Drive safe you guys," Mike called to them as they left. He piggybacked Eleven to the bedroom, laying her down gently and bringing the blanket up over her. It had been a long night, and he was eager to jump into bed with El and sleep for the next twelve hours.

Maggie paused outside of the door to her tiny one bedroom apartment. Will stood there awkwardly on her doorstep, hands shoved into his pockets.

"Well, I had a wonderful evening, Mr. Byers. You were a perfect gentleman." She watched his expression carefully. He was so nervous, it was cute. "How should we say goodbye?" She asked him curiously.

"What do you mean?" His eyes widened a bit. She giggled at his innocent nature, then stepped up to him. She reached around to rest her hand on the back of his neck, tangling her thin fingers in his shaggy brown hair.

"Surely you didnt plan to leave me here without so much as a goodnight kiss?" She stood on her toes a bit to get closer to him, to his lips. Will brought his slightly shaky hands up to rest on her hips. Not caring to wait for him to make the move any longer, Maggie closed the already shrinking gap between them and pressed her lips to his.

They were soft, but a little clumsy as first, not that she minded. Mike had said before that his illness or whatever it was kept him from pursuing women, but she didn't care. Whatever he didnt know, she could teach him. He was too cute and too kind to let go of.

Will eventually found the rhythm he needed for the kiss. He followed her movements, matched them in order to adapt to the kiss. He could hardly believe he was kissing a girl.

It reminded him of his childhood, growing up without anything more than crushes he would never talk to. How the kids in school thought he wasnt into girls just because he didnt chase skirts like all the other high school boys. It was hard for Will to think of anything other than the slugs and the Upside Down. Things like relationships and sex seemed like things he would never have.

"Mm, you're a quick learner," she smirked as he pulled back. "That's good. Sweet dreams, Will Byers. Drive safe. Call me whenever you want to go out again." She kissed his cheek softly, then waved as she made her way into the apartment. She closed the door, and Will heard the lock click.

For a long time, he stood there completely dumbfounded. She had been so amazing as moving those lips, those perfect, plump, pink lips. He could still feel the fluttering in his chest and he felt so light that he may have just drifted off with the wind.

With a big goofy grin plastered on his face, Will made his way back to Johnathan's beat up old car and drove off towards home, wondering if he should have asked to go inside with her. There was so much he could hardly wait to try, and if Maggie was a willing teacher, he would be her star student.
