Eyes

MIKE'S P.O.V

I paced back and forth worriedly. Finally a knock sounded on the front door and I threw it open.

"FINALLY!"

Max rolled her eyes. "I came as quickly as I could, okay? Chill."

She dragged her backpack with her over to the bathroom door. "Hey, El? It's max. Can you let me in?"

There were some muffled sounds from inside the bathroom, and then the door opened slightly and Max slid inside.

I sat on the ground, tapping my foot. "What was I gonna do?"

A couple seconds later the front door opened.

Will and Jonathan entered the house, laughing together.

"Mike?" Will asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

Jonathan raised his eyebrows. "You know Hoppers gonna be PISSED if he finds out you were here, especially alone with Eleven."

I shook my head quickly. "I don't - I- I'm not alone. Max is here. Um... it's an emergency."

Jonathan's eyes widened, but Will just stared at me in confusion.

"Did- did she, um.." Jonathan coughed.

"Yeah."

"Uh, Okay. I'll make some lunch. Mom went to the store, she will probably be home soon."

We nodded and Jonathan disappeared into the kitchen.

I heard some sniffling from the bathroom, and it opened to reveal a red faced El and Max right behind, with a slight smile.

"El, are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah... I was, um..."

I hugged her tightly, and she let out a little squeak.

"I'm sorry! What's wrong! What did I do?" I fretted.

"Mike, calm DOWN. it's probably just cramps."

Max pointed to her stomach. "Does it hurt?"

El winced and nodded.

"Uh, okay. Let's go lie down and get some medicine."

El followed Max down the hall to her bedroom, and I went to follow immediately, to be held back by Will. "Give her a minute, probably?"

I nodded, and shot a glance back over my shoulder. I just wanted to make sure she was okay.

EL'S P.O.V

I lay in bed, feeling like I was going to explode.

Max leaned over me, worry on her face. "Is it bad?"

I nodded. "Yeah, it's bad. I feel like I'm gonna explode."

She giggled. "Yeah, that happens. The medicine will kick in soon, ok?"

I nodded and closed my eyes, Max slipping out of the room.

A couple minutes later, the door opened and I blinked open my eyes to see Mike.

"Hey.." he trailed.

"Hi.." I mumbled in reply.

"I'm - I'm really sorry." He whispered.

I couldn't respond, I was focused on his eyes. THOSE EYES. filled with worry and love and determination and - oh dear lord. they were perfect. HE was perfect. I stared at him in a trance, and he tilted his head. "Are you okay?"

"Mike.." I whispered. "... kiss me."

His eyes widened, but he climbed on the bed next to me and cupped my face in his hand. "Uh, you sure?"

I didn't respond, just pressed my lips against his and he immediately kissed me back.

I sighed happily as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me, deepening the kiss.

He smiled into it, and I tilted my head, kissing him fiercely.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me even closer, and I ran my fingers through his hair.

All of a sudden, I felt him bite my lip. I jerked back in surprise, and I felt blood.

"Oh! El, I'm so sorry, I -,"

I interrupted him by wiping it away, and pressing my lips to his once again.

His lips left mine, and trailed down my neck, and my breath hitched in my throat.

Then I heard footsteps coming down the hallway, and I pushed him off me, wiping the blood off my lips and holding my hand to them.

The door swung open, and Joyce stood there with a worried look.

"El, are you - Okay? Are - are you okay, Mike?"

I glanced at him to see his face bright red, squirming uncontrollably. "Uh, Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay, Uh... can I talk to El? By the way, what in the world happened to your lip?"

I shrugged. "Uh, I don't know."

Mike winked at me as he exited the room, and I giggled.

was that too spicy lmao HELP

wait don't leave there's more ! Hehe

MIKE'S P.O.V

My heart racing, I slipped down at the table next to Will and Max.

"Uh, you okay?" Will asked, and Max snickered at my bright red face.

"I'm fine! I'm - fine."

A knowing smirk crept on Max's lips. "Did you -,"

"Shut UP, Max." I growled, and she laughed uncontrollably at this.

I ate my sandwich quickly, and then I froze when I felt Hopper's hands land on my shoulders. Uh oh.

"Can you come with me for a second kid?" He growled, and I nodded briefly before following him out nervously.

"I - uh... just wanted to thank you."

My eyes widened. "Uh, what?"

"Yeah... for taking care of her. And um, you can start seeing her again. just no more sleeping in her room, okay? or sneaking off for hours at a time."

I nodded, my head like jello.

"Yes, yes sir. Thank you. Thank you so much!"

He frowned. "And - Uh. No more kissing."

Sorry, Hopper... I don't think that's going to happen.
