19. Can I hold your hand?

✨✨✨

Before Mike and El first started dating, there were only small peaks on their cheeks.

One day, when the sun was beating down on Hawkins, Indiana. El and Max were sat on two lawn chairs in the Wheelers' backyard with sunglasses (Max -blue mirror glasses, El - black and pink Wayfarers).

Mike walked out into his backyard, squinting as the sunlight hit his eyes, and walked to Max and El with suntan lotion. He walked to the girls and handed the suntan lotion 

"El?" Mike said, looking down at his girlfriend. She lifted her sunglasses and looked at Mike.

"Yeah, Mike?" She asked, smiling at him. Her cheeks pink from the sun and her boyfriend, her skin getting slightly brown/red.

"Can I hold your hand?" Mike asks, holding his hand out. El smiles at Mike politeness and takes his hand in hers.

Mike sat under the umbrella, with his hand intertwined with El's he watched, along with El and Max, as Holly and Will battled in the newly installed swimming pool against Dustin and Lucas.

Mike and El sat under their umbrella, nobody knowing who's fingers belong to who. Holly was now hopping across the burning floor to her older brother and his girlfriend.

"Ellie? Can you come in the pool?" Holly begged, pulling at El's hand. The girl looked at her boyfriend, scared of going in the pool. With the amount of abuse that she had as a young child, she hated going in the pool.

"I'll go in with you, ok, baby," Mike said, letting go of her hand and helping her up off the outdoor sofa Hopper had helped Steve put outside.
