37. Can I kiss you?

✨✨✨

Mike dropped El at the Byers-Hopper's front door after their first date. El shuffled from foot to foot, looking down at her shuffling feet.

Mike took in a breath and looked at the teenage version of his favourite person on the planet stood before him and asked the question he's been wanting to say since she got back. "Can I kiss you?"

El's memory retreated back to a number of conversations she had with Nancy Wheeler, about boys, kissing and relationships.

El came back to earth and smiled happily at nodded her head. Mike smiled and sighed with relief and leant in and gently kissed the girl he went on his first date with - hoping it wouldn't be his last.

✨✨✨

Nancy had tried to get something out of Mike when he had come home from his first date with El, but it wasn't Karen that got Mike to spill the beans, nor was it Nancy.

It was Holly Wheeler.

She'd toddled into her older brother's room, teddy bear in hand and ready for bed.

"Hey, Holly Jolly," Mike smiled, lifting her up and setting her on his lap, running his fingers through her loose blonde hair - she always took it out of her pigtails before she went to bed.

"Mikey, how was your date with Ellie?" Holly asked, looking up from fiddling with her teddy's ear to her brother.

"Like you wouldn't believe, Holls. Like you wouldn't believe," Mike said, a dazed look falling into his eyes, and a dopey look falling over his face.
