85. It doesn't bother me

85. It doesn't bother me.

✨✨✨

Instead of El hiding in the woods for a month before she was taken in by Hopper, El escaped the Upside Down and stumbled along the corridors, calling Mike's name.

Hearing her name being called back in return.

"El?!" Mike shouted, hearing his name being called, speedwalking out into the corridor, shouting her name as he looked for her.

"Mike?" she asked, walking around the corner, slime dripping off her as she walked. She could hear his heavy footsteps walking around the corridor.

This is when Mike heard the dripping of something on the floor and turned around to see the tiny girl, covered from head to toe in slime, and it looked like she'd been in the middle of a war zone.

They both ran to each other and almost collapsed to the floor when they fell into each other's arms, Lucas and Dustin joining in on the hug, feeling the slime sticking slightly to their skin.

"Sorry," was all that came out of in a meek-like squeak from El, who looked down at her now destroyed dress, socks and jacket.

Mike took some of the slime off her face and smiled down at her. "It doesn't bother me," Mike promised, not caring that he will be covered in the same stuff El is. She's only been gone 5 minutes but it felt like she has been gone for 353 days (a strange number but it is one either way).
