el gazed around the room in complete shock.
mike was the type of person to be anal retentive about organizing and being neat. this was the total opposite of what el remembered.
clothes scattered everywhere, junk on the floor, smoke filling the air.
it wasn't only the state of his room that was different, it was him. he had somewhat of a mullet, gothic bracelets and satanic symbols on his clothes that read "the hellfire club".
she was confused yet interested in the sight, wanting to know what happened. she was disappointed to say the least,
but her anger got the best of her.
mike just stood there, staring at el whilst she took a look around with her jaw hanging low.
"m-mike..."
mike batted his eyes around wishing for help, knowing that el was mad at him.
el walked towards his nightstand picking up a pornographic magazine. mike shut his eyes hoping this was all a dream, a nightmare for that matter.
el looked back at mike,
"what the hell mike? w-what even- what happened?"
mike scoffed, trying to be tough, running over and snatching it out of her hands,
"just- NOTHING! IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE YOU!"
mike stayed frantic trying to distract her.
el gave a strange look to mike, continuing to discover the room and finding a bag on top of his drawer. what could be- weed?
el knew almost nothing about the drug but hop told her to specifically "STAY AWAY" so she knew it could be bad.
el gasped in even more disbelief.
"mike! what is all this? why-"
mike ran up to el, putting his arm around her shoulder leading her out of his room and shutting the door behind him.
el slapped his hand away and turned to him,
"who are you! mike, this" el gestured to his body, "isn't you. what-"
mike rolled his eyes,
"el i just- i'm sorry i know- i'm very...different from last time you saw me but i promise my personality is just the same! i'm- i'm uh good ol'...micheal"
mike forced a corny smile on his face which el wasn't buying.
el sighed and stormed down the stairs, mike chasing behind her saying,
"i was really looking forward to seeing you mike but i-i don't think this is like you-"
mike argued,
"el i'm- i'm the same person okay i'm okay alright!"
el stopped in her tracks,
"mike you know i'll always love you but i'm confused...why are you like this?"
mike bit his lip thinking,
"well you know what el? i found myself okay? this is me and i-i'm sorry if you don't like it then-"
el looked down,
"no mike just why didn't you tell me about this...transition? i-i worry about you and you've barely called...i'm scared that this is a cry for help."
mike went from frowning to a slight giggle, pulling el closer and cupping her face with his hands,
"el, i haven't called cause...dustins been on top of susie and he keeps using the darn thing to talk to her...i-i really appreciate your concern and i'm a terrible boyfriend for not introducing the new things i like to you..."
el grinned,
"okay well, tell me about the things you like now."
mike leaned forward, kissing el.
will peaked through the kitchen wall and paused looking at the two,
"oh you've got to be kidding me not this shit again!"
