"Jude." El pulled the blindfold off to look at him. When they got back to Hoppers, Jude had went with El into her room while the others stayed in the living room. "Have you seen mama?"
"Recently?" he looked up from the book he'd been reading, one of his that he'd given El for practice. "Yeah, i've seen her."
"Doing okay?" she looked curiously.
He gave her a small smile, nodding. "She's going good."
"Are we still cousins?" El looked oddly. "Since Hop eropted me?"
"Adopted." Jude corrected her with a nod. "And yeah, duh. We'll always be cousins. Always family."
El smiled, nodding. "Glad."
"Glad too." he nodded. "So, you like hanging out with Corey?"
She shrugged. "Feels like we are the same."
"Yeah, he's pretty cool." Jude nodded his head.
"And cute." El agreed, Jude gave her a gapping look, she was holding back a grin.
"El!" Jude gave a dramatic gasp. "You heartbreaker."
She laughed, falling onto the floor. "He is cute though."
"Yeah." El smiled.
"But..." Jude trialed off, clearing his throat. "Are you completely over Mike?"
"Over?" she looked oddly.
"Don't like him anymore." Jude corrected himself to simplify it for her.
El shrugged. "We are friends. Better friend then boyfriend."
Jude cleared his throat. "Okay, go back to your superhero shit while I just be a boring human, reading my book."
El grinned, tying the bandana around her head again.
They'd traveling back into the living room with the rest of the group, all sitting around El as she once again was blind folded and had the tv static once again. El began to breath heavy, ragged like before yanking it off.
Jude held his water bottle out to her. "Since we share germs."
"What's he doing now?" Max asked curiously.
Moments went by and El had down the last of Jude's water, Corey following her to the kitchen.
Jude had been smelling the candles on the shelves when Mike approached. "Hey."
Jude rose his eyebrows, clearing his throat. "Yo."
"Smelling candles?" the Wheeler boy nodded. "Yeah, yeah, candles smell."
"So true." Jude agreed, holding one out to him. "Do you wanna..."
"Oh! Sure." he gave a grin, leaning down to smell the candle. "Candly."
