4. Come here. Let me fix it.

✨✨✨

Mike was attempting to tie his tie for Nancy's wedding to Jonathan Byers. El walked in and smiled at her long-term boyfriend (who's going on to 19 years old).

"Mike?" She has a slight smirk on her face. Mike looked at El in the mirror and pouted as he couldn't tie his tie. "Do you want some help?" She lightly teased but smiled at him either way.

"Yes please." He continued to pout, except when El walked up to him and suddenly twisted her ankle. Mike watched in shock as she practically keeled over in agony.

"OW! Ow, ow, ow!" El hobbled back to Mike's old bed and sat down. She hissed in pain and held her ankle, heavily breathing through the pain.

"El? Are you ok?" Mike asked, slowly making his way to his girlfriend (who is also heading towards 19).

"Yeah." She gently put her foot back on the floor. "Come here. Let me fix it." El motioned to the tie laying limply around Mike's neck.

Mike smiled at El and continued to make his way over to her and let her fix his tie. He smiled at her currently bare face - thankful that she currently isn't wearing any makeup. Mike continued to smile at her, reached out and ran his fingers through her fluffy, curly brown hair. 

As soon as Mike tie was tied, Elle let it rest against his chest and smiled up at him.

"Thank you, babe." Mike pressed a kiss to his girlfriend's forehead. There were the 3 words sat on the end of his tongue, but he didn't have the confidence nor the strength to say them to her.

✨✨✨

El was Nancy's maid of honour (because if Barb was still here, Barb would definitely be in El's place and El would be a bridesmaid like Max), which Karen found really sweet.

Karen wasn't Mike and El's biggest supporter (they trophy went to Dustin Henderson) but she knew that they were going to be together for the rest of their lives.

"Who's going to be the next to get married?" Karen overheard Dustin say, with his arm around his girlfriend - Louise.

"Maybe those two," She heard Lucas said, and when she looked around the corner and saw Lucas pointing at her son and his long-term girlfriend, El.

The two looked like they were one person, you couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. It was rather sweet.
