Adventure

El's eyes slowly fluttered open, smiling as she felt Mike's strong arms wrapped around her.

She heard a giggle, and her head snapped around to see Max and Lucas watching them.

"What the hell?" El snorted, pulling herself out of Mike's arms. He stirred, and then frowned as he saw what was going on.

"You're in my house! And you were cute so Max wanted to see." Lucas shrugged.

El's cheeks heated up. "That's really creepy."

They laughed again. "So, you can eat breckfast if you want, but I can't promise my mom won't tell Hopper you were here," Lucas said.

Mike glanced over at El. "It's okay. I have some plans."

El arched her eyebrow. "You do?" He nodded swiftly.

They gathered their things and climbed out the window.

"Where are we going?" El asked him. "You'll see." He responded.

They finally arrived at a breakfast place, and they stashed their things in the bushes.

El gripped Mike's hand tightly as they entered.

"So..." she mumbled as they waited for their food.

"So?" He tilted his head.

"What are we going to do?" She asked.

He smiled softly. "Well, I have a few places to take you."

El didn't ask questions, just stared at his curly hair and smiled.

He narrowed his eyes. "I'm trying to make this a moment and WHAT are you looking at?"

She giggled. "Your hair!"

He turned red and tried to flatten it with his hands quickly.

She laughed. "Mike! Mike, it's fine. I like it curly."

He sighed, and thanked the waiter as she gave them their food.

Even as Mike ate, she couldn't keep her eyes off his freckles and... that jawline.

She felt butterflies in her belly as she thought about what it felt like to kiss him.

All of a sudden they made eye contact and she looked away quickly. She continued to think about where he would be taking her.

The first place, apparently, was the park. El squealed as he pushed her on the swing. She loved it.

She sighed as the wind blew through her hair.

She smiled as she looked over the valley.

She giggled as Mike laughed at her.

She daydreamed as she looked at him.

They went to the pond next and fed the ducks, El giggling as Mike pretended to fall in.

He snuck up behind her as she threw the ducks bread.

Wrapping his arms around her, he sighed kissing her head.

El frowned a little. "What will we do when we go home?"

He sighed. "El... it's okay. I'll take care of you. It's my fault. I made you leave."

Next they went to the museum. El loved learning about things, so Mike talked her though the exhibits.

Last but not least, he took her to a movie. Sitting in the theatre, Mike yawned and pretended to stretch, just to wrap his arm around her.

She smiled as he shoved his face full of popcorn.

Afterwards, they sat on a park bench, looking at the stars.

"You know I love you?" Mike whispered.

El turned to him with a smile. "I know. I love you too."

He leaned in, placing his hand behind her head gently as he kissed her.

All of a sudden a flashlight shined on us, and shouting was heard.

We pulled apart to see Will and Joyce.

"HOPPER! She's here!" Joyce called, squishing El in a hug.

"What's going on?" She asked, worried.

"You were missing!" She exclaimed.

El shook her head. "I wasn't missing. I just didn't want to be found."
