Sick

Hopper opened the cabin door to see Mike waiting on the doorstep, fidgeting with the end of his jumper. "Hey kid, she's in her room" Hopper exclaimed whilst stepping back so Mike could come in. Mike rushed straight to El's room and knocked cautiously. "Come in!" El said feebly, and he walked in quietly.

El was snuggled up in her blankets. She had a major cold and was eating soup when Mike walked in. Her face lit up at the sight of him and she put the bowl she was holding down on the bedside table and patted the bed for him to sit down. Mike chuckled at her. Even when she was sick and had a red nose she still managed to look stunningly beautiful. He sat down next to her and grabbed her hand. "I told you if you went out in the rain you'd get sick El" he exclaimed whilst looking at her lovingly. "Since when have I ever listened to what people tell me to do?" El replied, raising her eyebrow at him. He laughed at her response. "I brought Back to the Future, cause I know how much you love it. Wanna watch it?" Mike asked while pulling the VHS out of his bag. "Do you even have to ask?!" El exclaimed practically jumping out of bed and into the living room. Mike chuckled and followed her.

After the movie finished Mike and El decided to make hot chocolates and Eggos. They sat facing each other on the couch whilst sipping their drinks, careful not to spill any. Mike was telling El a story about how when he was five he put on Nancy's tutu and went round the neighbourhood introducing himself as 'Michelle.' El was dying of laughter and Mike had to quickly grab her cup to prevent her from spilling it all over herself. He couldn't help but smile at how beautiful and happy she was. The gang never missed an opportunity to tease Mike about the way he looked at El, and it had become a running joke between the six of them.

Mike noticed that El was getting tired, she was yawning practically every five seconds. He put down his cup and picked her up, carrying her to her room and wrapping her up in her blankets. He knelt beside her and stroked her hair. He never quite got over how stunning she was. El started grabbing at him, pulling him into the bed beside her. He chuckled and quickly pulled her into an embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist. He went to kiss her but she pushed him away, a concerned look on her face ."You can't kiss me, you'll get sick too" she said, furrowing her eyebrows. He simply lifted her chin and kissed her sweetly before drifting off to sleep.

2 days later, El arrived at the Wheeler's and went straight to Mike's room. He sat up when she walked in and she giggled at the sight of him. "I told you you'd get sick" she exclaimed whilst sitting next to him. "Totally worth it" he answered, beaming at her.
