"ugh, come on you piece of-" mike groaned, trying to get his water from the vending machine. the vending machine's design made it look like it was grinning at him in victory.
"stand back." el muttered, pushing mike behind her, hitting it, the water popped out through the bottom.
"and just like that, eleanor hopper saves the day, folks." mike joked, as eleanor bowed, handing him the water bottle.
"thanks." he told her, taking it from her, sitting on the painfully cold metal chair. "jesus christ the air conditioner has done it's job alright." he said, drinking his water.
"yeah or it's just you." eleanor said, leaning against her chair. "the flight to atlanta is in an hour so let's see how your survival goes." she joked.
"i heard there's eggnog on the flight." mike said, looking at her, his eyes beaming at her.
"oh my god el give me my damned eggnog back !!" mike whined, throwing a pillow at the honey curled girl in her sweater.
"hell no !" she said, running with it to the kitchen.
"huff !" mike groaned, before running after her, el put the eggnog onto the table right in time, right before mike tackled her to the ground, she laughed loudly, as he tickled her. he had her in his arms, tickling her as she laughed, clinging on to him.
"i bet you fifteen dollars that they'll be married in the future." will said, watching from afar, cackling at them, as they wrestled like two four year olds would.
"that's so accurate, and i'll be the child's best aunt." max said, with a smile.
"yeah for that they have to f*ck." will joked, earning a playful smack on the shoulder from max.
"shut your gayass. i mean, you're not wrong."
"hello ? earth to elligator ?" mike called out, knowing exactly what el was thinking about.
"ugh i wish i was still fifteen." eleanor said, with a smile, as she looked at him, putting on a face that reminded him of that day.
"that's so real of you to say." mike said, his face filling with heat, looking away to set his gaze upon his luggage.
an hour had passed, it was time for the flight, mike and el walked to the gate, giving the woman their boarding passes. "have a nice trip mrs and mr." the woman said, making el blush furiously, mike smirked a bit, before they nodded and walked to the flight, none with the confidence to correct her.
mike didn't like flights, not much, they always reminded him of his fear of losing his loved ones. for example, once, el and mike's family had gone on a flight for a trip. their families were close; joyce and karen got along well, ted and hopper didn't talk much however, nancy and johnathan were dating, el and mike were best friends etc.
"what if we crash ?" ten year old michael asked the brunette next to him, who looked out the plain window in awe of the ocean below.
"what if silly ! we won't crash, that's a rare occurrence." el stated, looking at him with a comforting look.
"but still, the chances aren't zero !" he responded, nervous, el hugged him tightly, whispering into his ear; "we won't, mike. we won't." mike felt his heart beat rapidly, he had no idea what it was, but didn't acknowledge it.
he gulped a bit, making el turn to look at him. "nervous, again ?" she asked.
"yep." he said, as he felt the plane ruffle in the air a bit, making his heart beat, it was getting shaky, as the 'please buckle your seatbelts' symbol by the screen blinked.
"holy sh!t, it's-it's-" mike was cut off by el.
"going to be fine, just tough turbulence, it's there in most flights." she mumbled, her hand gripping onto his, in reality, she was nervous, not much, but she was.
"mhm..."
"breathe in, mike." she said, as he started to inhale as the cold air filled his lungs. "out." she mumbled, the process repeated for a while before the plane was stable again. "see, scaredy cat ?" she joked, chuckling at how scared he was earlier.
"shut up !" he hit her shoulder playfully.
she laughed, before silencing herself for a moment, looking at mike, then mike bursted into fits of chuckles, burying his face in the crook of her neck to prevent the rest from hearing. the rest in the plane stared at them in confusion, but mike and el didn't mind, they were with eachother and that's all that mattered.
