22. It's not heavy. I'm stronger than I look.

✨✨✨

Mike was helping the moving men carry the boxes into his and El's new apartment.

"Mike, the moving men can carry the boxes totally fine," El said, taking the box of stuffed animals that Mike had over his childhood from him and pulling it on their new couch.

Mike then picked up a box of cutlery, which made El suddenly shift, from looking at the box of stuffed animals to Mike carrying the box of cutlery.

"Mike? Are you sure you can carry that?" She asked, worry lacing her voice.

"It's not heavy. I'm stronger than I look." Mike said, making El raise her eyebrows.

"You couldn't carry me when we were 12, you mouthbreather!" She said, not once sounding angry or mad. "Gimmie the box," she said, holding her arms out.

"No," Mike said like he was a little boy refusing to give Karen one of his toys back.

"Give me the box," El said, before quickly snatching the box off Mike and strutting into the kitchen.

"Now did you do that?" Mike questioned, trailing after El - forgetting about the other boxes in the moving van.

Mike and El look around their new apartment, large grins plastered on both of their faces. Their apartment. They'd officially moved in together.

"This is it," Mike said, his hand running through El's hair, looking over at the door to their new room. THEIR bedroom. The room he shares with his fiancée.

"Yes, this is it,"
