(Elevens POV)
I was woke up that morning, greeted by a very happy Mike and a fresh plate of Eggos.
"Hey El! Guess what?"
"Hmm?", I said rubbing my eyes.
"My mom said you could stay here!"
"Oh, cool."
I took the plate of Eggos from the floor in front of me and started eating them. Mike never has any because he knows how much I love them.
"So... I kinda wanted to talk to you about more important stuff. Is that okay with you El?"
"What is it?"
"Well, I was wondering, what really happened the day you uh...saved me and my friends?"
"I uh....I'm not sure. I woke up in the middle of the woods, in the...ups-upside....down."
"Oh.", He looked down. I could tell he felt bad asking me.
Mike always try's his best to make me happy around here. All he really has to do is be here with me, and I'm happy.
I started to chomp on my last Eggo when something caught my eye.
"Oh...sorry. It's just, I'm used to doing this. Is it alright El? I didn't mean to scare you."
"I'm fine."
He instantly felt bad. All he did was take his shirt off in front of me. I was okay with it. I didn't seem to mind at all. What's so bad?
"What's so bad about it?", I asked.
"Well...I don't know. It's weird. I'm not really sure how to explain it."
He still had his shirt off in front of me, looking through his basket of clothes. I could tell he was about to change his pants when he spun around at me staring and I blushed hard. He laughed a little.
"Sorry.", He walked to the bathroom.
I'd be okay with changing in front of him. Why is it so bad? We shouldn't feel uncomfortable. I feel like I could tell Mike anything. Like he should tell me anything too. We should tell each other everything. Just like me and Nancy promised. Everything.
