'maybe we could go to prom... together'
-

the edges of her lips curved upwards, not being able to contain her wide smile.

she partes her lips as if she was going to say something, but a sudden interruption stopped her.

"guys! i've been looking for you", dustin panted, supporting his arms on his knees, "are you ready to leave?" he breathed heavily.

"yeah, yeah, of course" mike took a step back.

he grabbed her hand and they interlocked their fingers. dustin was already walking back to were everyone else was, and when eleven took a step forward, he stopped him.

el looked back at him and tilted her head with furrowed eyebrows.

he reached for his jacket pocket and took out his box of cigarettes, he showed it to her.

"you know, since i have you. i really don't need these anymore... don't i?"

el innocently smiled and shook her head.

he pursed his lips, looking down at the box before lifting his head up, looking behind him and throwing it into a bin that was a few meters away.

el grinned and he walked closer to her, placing his arm around her shoulders.

"let's go"

-

"el? where are y- oh there you are"

el looked up from her notebook.

"can we talk? on the roof?"

the roof had become a really special place for them, they would go up there many nights.

el looked around her bed, all of her school paper work around her.

"now?"

"please"

el sighed and stood up.

-

"so? what is it?"

mike grabbed her hands and rubbed his thumb against her knuckles.

"remember how i promised you a few things, a few years ago? before.. you know-"

"yeah, i do"

"there's one promise i broke. bringing you to the snowball"

"mike, it wasn't your fault, it's fi-"

"yeah but friends don't lie. and i was thinking... maybe... maybe we could go to prom... together"

el's eyes lit up.

"wait, really?"

"well yeah of-"

el cut him by throwing her arms around him. mike wrapped her arms around her, breathing in her scent.

"you are the best" she whispered against his ear.
