(Mike's POV)
I waited on Eleven to be done with her shower, so I could talk to her in what felt like forever. I tuned the TV on and started watching cartoons. I noticed from the corner of my eye, someone walking up the stairs. I turned over.
She wasn't dressed yet, but wrapped in a towel. I felt bad for looking. Mike! Why would you do that?! Don't make her feel uncomfortable here!!! I was ashamed. I quickly jerked my head around pretending like I saw nothing.
I waited a good 10 minutes before she came back out again. This time she stood dressed in a pair of Nancy's old pajamas. I'm sure she gave them to El already.
"Hi El! Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah. Nancy showed me how to take a shower."
"I know. Nancy will always help you in you know. Those situations."
"What situations?"
I started something I shouldn't have. I forgot she still needed help understanding things better. Your so stupid Mike! Why wouldn't you say that!
I snapped out of my thoughts knowing I hadn't answered her question yet.
"Well... Uh. I'm not so sure how to explain it. Um, I guess moments that only girls understand. You know?"
"Hmm."
"Well, are you hungry El? I don't have any Eggos, but you might want something else."
"Yeah.", She smiled at me.
I was in awe. Her perfect brown eyes always managed to catch my eye. Her smile made my insides go crazy. I felt my face get really hot. I stood up quick because I didn't want her to see me like this.
"Well, I can make you toast, or you can have some cereal of you want."
"Cer-e-al?"
"Yeah. It's crunchy sweet things you eat with Milk. It's good. Want some?"
"Sure."
Ahh. It felt so great to finally feel myself again. To finally have my heart beat. To finally feel like a person again. I felt completed once again. Something I haven't felt in forever.
