THE SOUND OF a frustrated sigh escapes from someone's lips, their lips going to a thin line as they place the crocheting tool aside— it was so difficult to learn but they weren't giving up.
They then lower their gaze towards the ground, they held a scarf in their hand— still having the watch you had given them, it revealed to be eleven, his hair short but growing— it was curly on the ends, too.
He watches the tv in front of him, rolling his eyes when he sees what time it is. Of course, he was gonna be alone in the cabin again.
Eleven then reaches over to the desk to grab his blindfold, changing the tv station until it was put on static. He was searching for you— as usual.
...it was quiet for a while until he opened his eyes, he knew he was in the void due to how silent it was. That's when he heard your voice in the distance.
He walks over to you, his steps careful. he knows you weren't gonna be able to see him, but he had to try— right?
"El, you there?"
Eleven was so happy to hear your voice, a small smile making its way to his lips as he kneeled down in front of you.
"Hey, it's me, um, [y/n]. day 352, 7:40 p.m. and my dad is snoring so LOUD—"
Eleven chuckled.
"I'm still here. If you're out there, say something. please. or-- or give me a sign. I swear to you I won't even say anything. just...I wanna know if you're okay."
Eleven watches sadly, reaching out to touch you.
"My god, this was so dumb."
You shut off your supercomm, heading out of your room.
Eleven glances over his shoulder as he watched, clenching his fist before closing his eyes.
"You're not...dumb." Eleven spoke softly, but he knows you didn't hear him, he stood up as he watched you walking away.
