68. You didn't have to ask.

✨✨✨

December 1987
Snowball

Jane Hopper, Will Byers, Dustin Henderson, Max Mayfield, Lucas Sinclair and Mike Wheeler all sat around a table (in that order) at the 1987 Snowball.

Mike and El were still keeping their tradition of going to the Snowball, they don't care.

Frank Sinatra's song The Best of Everything came on and some middle school couples walked onto the dancefloor. Mike got some looks from his friends, nudging him towards El who was looking at the dancefloor.

"El?" Mike asks, making the girl in question look up at him. "Do you want to dance?" He holds his hand out, a light smile plastered on his face.

"You didn't have to ask," El said, accepting his hand. Her vocabulary having improved rapidly because of a number of books she's gotten through, hanging out with the boys and Max, Joyce and Mr Clarke (who knows her as Jane, the Police Chief's daughter) helping her with her speech.

The two made their way onto the dancefloor, the boys and Max smiling at the couple.
