EL'S P.O.V

I cannonballed down onto the couch beside Mike with a grin.

He snorted at me. "Why are you in such a good mood?"

I shrugged. "Just happy we get to have a date night. We've been busy with finals, and I miss you."

He smiled and pulled me close, and I sat with my legs curled in, leaning on him with his arm around me.

"Oh! I made popcorn!" I chirped, grabbing it.

"Soooo what should we watch?" He muttered, trying to find a movie.

I shrugged. "You can just turn on the tv, whatever's fine.

It was a romantic comedy, and I laughed along with it as they made jokes.

Then there was a kissing scene, and it got more and more intense, until Mike turned off the tv.

"Uh... I think we should do something else."

I nodded, trying not to think about how I wanted him to kiss me like that.

"Let's go for a walk?" He offered, and I nodded and we slipped on our shoes before I shot outside after him.

I giggled and grabbed his arm, leaning my head on his shoulder as we walked.

I glanced up at the stars. Pulling Mike suddenly into the grass on the side of the road, I rolled onto my back and stared up at the sky dreamily.

"I want to travel," he said suddenly.

I glanced over at him, interested. "You never told me that before," I murmured, watching him stare up at the sky.

I scooted a little closer as a wind blew over us, and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Where would you want to travel?" I asked.

"I don't know. A lot of places. China, Australia would be fun, Canada... just all over."

I nodded. "I want to go to New York." I said suddenly.

"New York? That's cool. I've never left Hawkins. Most people have." He murmured. "I think that's why I want to travel so much... I haven't seen like any of the world."

I nodded. "Now you know how I feel."

He jerked his head towards me, his eyes wide. "Oh my gosh el, I'm so sorry, I didn't even think about that-,"

"It's okay..." I interrupted. "Besides, I get to travel in an alternate universe a lot," I added with a wink.

He snorted with laughter and we turned out gazes back to the sky, just two lovers staring at the stars.

MIKE'S P.O.V

"It's so pretty," I whispered.

No response.

I glanced down at the girl buried in my arms.

"Uh, El? Hello?"

I chucked as I realized she must have fallen asleep.

I wrapped myself tighter around her, and kissed her head gently.

Why was she so perfect?

EL'S P.O.V

Cold!

I woke up with a breeze blowing over me. Shivering, I buried myself deeper into my blankets. My blankets that were moving too.

I opened my eyes. "Oh, hi..." I giggled, looking at Mike staring at me in horror.

"Uh, what's wrong?" I asked quickly, sitting up.

"Uh, el.. we fell asleep. All night."

My eyes widened as I realized we were still on the grass. It must be like 7:00 am.

I jumped up and grabbed his hand. "I'll sneak in my window," I assured him. "It'll be fine."

He nodded and we walked to Joyce's house together, me swinging our connected hands in delight as I fiddled my feet on the sidewalk.

He helped me up into my my room through the window, and I sat there, dangling my legs out with a sigh as he held my hands.

"I love you," I hummed, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I love you too my El..." he murmured, kissing me gently before breaking us apart to grab his bike from my yard.

I smiled as I watched him pedal away, before rolling inside and opening my closet.

I pulled out a yellow sundress and a light jacket, with some small booties for my feet.

I ran my fingers through my hair with a sigh, slipping out of my room to jump in the shower.

I let the water run over me, sighing as it wet my hair and ran down my back.

I pulled myself away from thinking about him as I scrubbed shampoo into my scalp.

When my hair was clean, it was light and fluffy, which I loved.

I rinsed my head off and finished my shower, wrapping a towel around myself and brushing my teeth quickly before going back to my bedroom.

I put on my clothes, and opened the door for Will, who had knocked.

"Where were you this morning?" He questioned.

I winced. "Darn it! I fell asleep down the street with Mike."

"It's fine, I didn't tell. Hopper just woke up."

I smiled. "Thanks, Will... wanna go do something today?" He nodded with a smile back.

"Breakfast is almost ready," he added, before turning to go down the stairs.

"Thank you!" I called, before putting on some light makeup and brushing through my hair.

It was long enough that I could braid it shortly now, and that's what I did.

I sighed as I closed my closet and looked at myself in the mirror.

pretty?

I winced as I looked at my ugly scars on my wrists from before, and I picked at a couple with a sigh before exiting my room to head down the stairs.
