(A day after El closes the gate in season 2)

Lucas smiled back, "oh, I know so.."
Mike's face lit up light a flashlight, he didn't exactly know what to say or do but he was extremely excited, "so, do you think I should tell her now?"
"Definitely," Lucas replied.
Dustin ran out of the kitchen into the living room with one of Joyce's aprons on, it look like a dress on him! He started banging pots and pans together and shouting like a dork, "breakfast is readyyyy!"
Lucas and Mike laughed and followed the curly haired boy into the kitchen to eat their breakfast.
El stuffed her mouth with cereal letting the sweet almond milk flow into her mouth, Mike, who sat across from her looked as red as the inside of a watermelon from all the blushing.
Lucas thought it was an amazing idea to mention Mike's "little" crush on El without verbally announcing it, "woah wheeler, you look a little red over there."
The freckled boy forced out a laugh, "I'm just a little hot right now, I guess."
Max quickly caught on, "you've been staring at Eleven for quite a while now."
"Huh?" Mike panicked thinking Lucas had told Max even though they have never even interacted since the night before.
Lucas looked at Mike and mouthed the words: you told Max? To him.
Mike shook his head denying it.
El sunk into her chair, she just wanted to enjoy her cereal.
After breakfast the party laid around in the living room, Eleven grabbed a book from her backpack and started reading. She was obviously immersed into the book because she had been reading it for a couple hours. Mike sat next to her, he helped her with the big words she didn't understand or couldn't read.
"What does mis- is- sip..py mean?" She asked.
Mike laughed, "oh that's just a name of a river I believe."
"Ohhh!" She nodded.
"Ah," Lucas moaned, "the ship is finally sailing!"
Michael blushed and turned as red as Hopper's ugly couch, "shut up."
El laughed not knowing what anything meant.
At night
The rest of the party was dead asleep except for El and Mike.
"I'm glad your back," he smiled.
The curly haired girl was flattered, "you've said that at least 5 times, Mike."
"Yeahhh, I know." He was trying to be as flirtatious as he could.
She giggled, "well I'm a little tired, so I'm gonna head to bed."
Mike nodded, "wait-" he brushed his soft lips against hers, his heart was pounding as if it were trying to break free.
El pulled away and smiled, the freckled boy smiled back as if they're smiles were a form of communication saying; goodnight, I love you in a friend way.
Mike rested his head on his pillow and thought about El and what they were going to do together tomorrow while they were here. El thought the same but hers included Eggos and reading.
