Mileven One-Shots

The one with the stupid dare

-

"I dare you to pretend to be mad at Eleven for an entire day," Lucas declared and Mike's frown dropped in disbelief.

"What?! No!"

"What, are you about to back out of a dare? We all know you can't stay mad at her if your life depended on it. Give it up Wheeler."

-

He knew he shouldn't have ever accepted the dare. He knew he should had just taken his punishment in stride for rejecting a dare but, no.

Mike Wheeler had to let his pride get the best of him for once.

It was incredibly hard.

Especially when she randomly showed up the following day to help over at the Wheeler house hold with Karen. She had promised to teach the young one more about duties around the kitchen.

It was her second favorite thing. The first one was seeing Mike.

He made her heart beat faster and her cheeks heat up a thousand degrees. It was such a funny feeling.

Mike picked at his cereal not bothering to greet her as she came in, sitting besides him happily.

"Hi Mike!" And she smiled- god that beautiful smile.

He was already knocked down a peg or two. But he held back forcing to not let his racing heart get the best of him as he showed a small smile with a nod.

Mike saw El's grin falter and he already felt like such a prick.

Stupid Lucas man.

He was already loosing so, as fast as he could Mike finished the cereal before making a run for it towards his room.

El looked over at Karen questioningly, who was staring intently at Mike's retreating figure. "Did I do something?" She asked and the mom shook her head with a small smile. "He's a boy honey. Probably just going through something and being all cranky about it. Don't take it personally."

Her words made sense but still sadness loomed over in Eleven's gut.

Noticing the girls distress Karen cooed her over with a crook of her finger. "How about we bake some cookies El? We can make Mike's favorite and that should cheer him up."

El nodded enthusiastically.

-

The cookies were cool by now but they're was a lot of them on the plate and El worried she might drop them.

Thankfully she didn't and instead she knocked on Mike's door and pushed the plate out towards him once he opened the door.

He stared at it without a word trying his hardest not to smile.

His heart felt like it was on fire.

"For you," she offered.

Mike held his ground and simply took a cookie and said "thanks," before closing the door again and El felt the tears start to burn her eyes.

Mike had never been mad at her before and now for some reason he was! And she didn't know why.

"Mike I'm sorry..." Her hand knocked against the door again and she could have sworn she heard him breathe deeply. "What did I do?"

His heart clenched again, Mike was slipping and he was barely hanging on by a thread now.

And then he heard it.

Eleven's small pained whimper.

Mike Wheeler had never opened the door faster. She stood there with tears in her eyes and cookies still in her hands that he all but threw on his desk before, gathering her in his arms.

"I'm sorry! Lucas gave me this stupid dare to be mad at you and I tried to but I couldn't."

Her arms rapped around his neck and soon the tears stopped.

"I'm sorry El," his words soft and nervous towards the girl who had him rapped around her nimble finger.

She stayed quiet for a moment before looking up. Her brown eyes pouring into his own and Mike was sure he could drown in them and be totally fine.

And then she was moving closer and- oh my god she's not stopping! What is she doing is she-

Her lips had pressed against his cheek.

"It's okay Mike. Just don't be a mouth breather again."

And then she was hugging him again.

Maybe the dare wasn't so dumb after all.
