[14] A Christmas Together

Lol welp.

El's pov

The white snow glistened in the sun as it fell from the sky. I opened my window and reached my arm out.

I smiled as the cold flakes fell into my hand, I didn't really understand Christmas too much even though I'd had several since getting out of the lab.

I heard a knock on my door which made me jump lightly.

"You up, kid?" I heard hopper ask from the other side.

"Yeah," I responded. The door opened, a smile upon his face when he saw me observing the snow that lay in my palm.

"Well, get ready. We have to get to Mike's soon," My heart jumped. I'd completely forgotten the fact everyone was going to Mike's for Christmas.

Hopper closed the door, leaving me to get dressed. He wasn't too happy about it. Plus he thought Mike was corrupting me.

I looked in my closet for something to wear, I wanted to at least look decent. I ended up picking out things Mike had said I looked good in before.

Mike's pov

"Mike!" I heard my mother yell. I sighed and ran downstairs.

"What?"

"Aren't you going to help cook?"

"I'm getting dressed!" She sighed and pressed her fingers to her temple.

"You look fine, Mike."

I put a finger up for one second and ran up the stairs. I looked in the mirror, I didn't find myself attractive, so it was hard to tell if I actually looked good or not.

I heard the doorbell ring, probably Will or El since the other two are usually late.

"Oh, come in! So glad you could make it, Joyce," I heard my mother say.

"Mike? Can I come in?" I heard Will's voice at my door.

"Yeah, sure." The door opened, Will sat down next to me.

"Do I look okay?" I asked him. He examined me for a few seconds before answering.

"Mike, you look great, don't worry." I smiled and nodded. I heard the doorbell ring once again.

"Guess we should probably go downstairs, huh?" I said. Will nodded.

Getting downstairs I saw Hopper and El walking in. Her small figure was captured perfectly in her outfit, her hair was a bit messy, but just made her look even cuter.

Her smalls hands fidgeted together, she was probably really nervous.

I wanted to kiss her, but I also didn't want to be killed by Hopper.

"You look beautiful," I said as she approached me. She smiled as her cheeks turned a deep red.

"You look handsome." I don't know why, but that compliment make me blush. It wasn't the first time she'd said it.

I took her hand in mine and we sat down at our dining table, food was nearly ready. The doorbell chimed once again.

My mom answered the door where Lucas and Dustin stood. Their parents didn't really bother coming.

"Are you idiots going to move or stand here until next Christmas?" Erica said moving out from behind Lucas. I smiled lightly.

As the two came in we all placed ourselves somewhere around the table. I was between El and Will. Across from me was Hopper, which kind of scared me not gonna lie.

My mom wanted me to sit next to family, but I didn't really care.

My mom presented the turkey in the middle of the table. I was hungry, but I was focusing on El. I was absolutely memorized by her, basically every time I saw her.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't accidentally ran into things because I was distracted thinking about her.

"Annnndd everything is ready!" My mother said happily. She put bowls filled with different things around the table.

Dinner was a bit difficult. Hopper's hard stare was on me everytime I even glanced at El. Overall, it was fun. We gave each other presents, too.

Me, Will, El, Dustin, and Lucas were in my basement just hanging out.

"Well, I gotta go," said Will as we heard Jonathan coming down the stairs to retrieve him.

"Yeah us too," Lucas and Dustin said.

"I thought you said you could stay late?"

"Dude, it's ten." I looked at my watch, it was in fact ten.

"Alright, well, see you guys later."

It was quiet now without the obnoxious part of the group. I pulled out a special gift for El and she eyed it curiously.

"What is that?"

"Something I didn't want to give you in front of Hopper," I said handing her the small box. Her eyes lit up when she opened it, revealing a dainty ring with small diamonds running down the sides.

On the inside it had our initials carved into it 'M & E ♡'.

She smiled softly looking at it.

"I don't even know what to say."

"Does it fit?" I said smiling. She put it on her ring finger, which made me blush a bit but also bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself from smiling even harder.

"Yeah," she said looking at the ring now on her finger.

"Do you like it?"

"Oh, I love it, Mike," she jumped into my arms and kissed my cheek. Suddenly she frowned.

"I got you something too, but it's not as good," she said. She pulled out a bigger box with a watch in it.

The watch was black and gold. To be honest I absolutely loved it.

"El, I love it. It's just as good as what I got you."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course," I said taking my current watch off to replace it with the new one El had gotten.

"See? It fits." She smiled up at me. Our lips softly touched together in a gentle kiss.

"How long can you stay for?"

"Probably not much longer, Hopper will want to go home soon if not now." I chuckled and nodded.

I sat down on the couch and opened my arms, inviting her in. She gladly accepted and snuggled into my chest. She was a lot colder than I was.

Only a few moments later we heard Hopper yelling for Eleven, that it was time to go.

I frowned, but I knew I'd see her soon.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Mike." I gave her a hug and kissed her softly again before she smiled and left.

Best Christmas Ever.
