12 year old mike had just pushed troy to the ground as the school assembly gasped.

troy glares at mike "you're dead wheeler. dead!"

suddenly troy freezes.

woah! troy peed himself! a kid yells laughing.

mike's eyes widen and he slowly smiles, laughing. he looks at el as she smiles back.

el quickly wipes her bloody nose and turned away as dustin and lucas laughed behind her.

-

el laid down on mike's couch in the basement playing with mike's rory as mike looked at her with love and adoration.

'she's amazing' mike thought.

"hey el, you mind if i join you?" mike asked sitting down next to her on the couch. "and thanks for what you did, by the way..."

el looked at mike for a minute before looking back at his rory.

mike watched as el continued to play with the toy, her fingers moving with a delicate precision. he found himself fascinated by the way her eyes sparkled as she focused on the tiny dinosaur.

mike's face flushed red as he realized how awkward he was being just sitting there. he fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. "i... i just wanted to say that i think what you did to troy was really brave."

"brave?" el looked at mike with big eyes.

mike nodded eagerly. "yes... brave."

mike slightly laughed as el played with the dinosaur. "you know i've had that toy since i was like five." mike said watching el's hands. "my mom got it for me, she's really nice like that." he hesitated then added "she'd like you, i think."

"like?" el's voice came out quiet.

mike smiled gently. "yeah like. she'd like you. you're pretty, brave, cute and she would've high-fived you for what you did to troy." mike said blushing.

"mouth breather..."

mike smiled. "yeah... mouth breather."

"hey... el?" mike said quietly.

"yeah...?" el looked at mike.

"i-i feel like i can talk to you about stuff, y'know? even if you don't talk much. i dunno, you just... you get it."

"mike..." el put her hand on his shoulder. "i understand."

mike's eyes widened as el placed her hand on his shoulder. he felt a warmth spread through him at her touch and her words. "you... you do?" he looked at her a soft smile spreading across his face. "that means a lot, el. really."

mike felt a surge of happiness. he wanted to reach up and hold el's hand, but he was afraid that might be too much. instead, he just grinned like an idiot.

mike decided to take a chance and gently placed his hand on el's. el didn't pull away so he left it there, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him.

el then laid down against mine, rory still in hand.

mike's heart pounded in his chest as el leaned against him. he hesitantly wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. he could feel her warmth against his side, and her scent - faint, like flowers after rain- filled his nostrils.

mike slowly began to stroke el's blonde wig. he hummed a tune under his breath, feeling content and at peace.

mike sighed happily, nuzzling into el's hair.

el looked up at mike with heart eyes as mike did the same.

as their eyes met and they both leaned in-

"MIKE I FOUND THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING!" dustin yelled.
