Kisses

Mike just finished playing a game of D&D with his friends, Lucas, Dustin, and Will. El was sleeping in her usual corner, in the little fort Mike had made her.

Mike had been staring at El for a while, drifting off in his thoughts about her.

FRICK, she looks so cute when she's sleeping...

"Dude! Are you even listening?" Dustin asked. "I've been saying your name for like, FIVE HOURS."

"It was only like five seconds." Lucas chimed in. "Shut up."

"Okay guys, I think it's time you go home. I've got a busy day tomorrow." Mike said.

"Oh really? Doing what, exactly? Lucas asked. Sarcastically. "My mom is taking El shopping tomorrow for school clothes." Mike said, defensively.

The boys snickered.

"What's so funny?" Mike said crossing his arms, pretending he didn't know.

"It's just that, how in any way does that involve you? Lucas asked.

"Yeah, how does it?" Dustin said, copying Lucas for effect.

A pink blush tinted Mike's cheeks.

"W-well.." An idea suddenly popped into Mike's head.

"Schools coming soon right? So I need to get some clothes too!"

"Yeah right. Don't worry, your secret crush on El is safe with us." Lucas taunted.

"What secret crush?" El said sleepily, sitting up.

Will laughed.

"Busted." He said.

The boys had all gone home on their bikes, and Mike and Eleven were getting ready for bed.

Mike threw on his PJ's, brushed his teeth, and went down to the basement to fix up El's bed.

"Hi Mike." El said.

"AH!" Mike jumped going down the stairs, causing him to trip and fall. But not before El used her powers to levitate Mike and bring him back to the safety of the ground.

"Oh jeez! Thanks El! But you scared me half to death."

"To death?" El said, panicked.

Mike walked over to El's fort. "No El, it's a figure of speech. It doesn't mean I'll actually die."

"Oh." El said, a little more relieved.

"Here, lay down." Mike said.

Mike covered El with her blankets once she was all settled in.

"There."

"Thank you Mike."

"No problem El."

Mike smiled at El, she smiled back.

"Mike."

"Yes El?"

"I'm not tired."

"Well, you did take that nap not that long ago, you probably just need some water or something. Sometimes I get water before bed, it helps me sleep."

"But I'm not thirsty." El said.

"Oh... ok. Maybe-"

"What does 'secret crush' mean Mike?"

"What?!" Mike said, clearly surprised.

"I heard Lucas say you had a secret crush on me earlier. What does 'secret crush' mean?" El asked innocently.

"W-well... It means when- you- well... uh... It means when you like somebody."

"I like you Mike!" El said, a smile lighting up her face.

Mike blushed a deep shade of red.

Not the same way I do... Mike thought.

"Mike, I think I'm sick." El said, a little worried.

"Huh...?"

"It's my stomach. Every time your face gets red or you do something, like tuck me in at night, my stomach gets all floppy and light."

Mike realized that... this meant... ELEVEN HAS A CRUSH ON HIM TOO!!

THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY 13 YEAR OLD LIFE!!! Mike was celebrating in his mind.

"El!" Mike said.

"What? Do you know what's wrong Mike?"

"What happens to your stomach when I do this."

Mike kissed El, putting all of his feelings for her into it. It was a sweet and passionate kiss, a kiss Mike had never even known he could be capable of.
