Mikes POV:
I shuffled around, weirded out by the dream I had, my eyes adjusting to being awake. I sat up and saw.... the messed up basement.... ok wtf this was scaring me a little now. Laid beside my hand was the same discarded dirty converse sneakers I had thrown at the fort.... which now lay crumpled around me.... oh fucking hell what is going on. I pinched myself. Ok ow, not a dream. Oh shit, where's el???
Hoppers POV:
Ok so still no sign of el, I was getting worried. I know that she's almost 16 and she has powers and everything so she can look after herself and all that bullshit (Nancy, stop quaking!) but she is still just a kid and I need to know she is ok, so I call Joyce. It rang for quite a bit before she answered.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hey Joyce it's hopper, have you heard from El at all?" I asked on edge.
"Yeah she was just radioing will and Dustin a few minutes ago. I think she's still there, I could get her if you want?"
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Nah your ok thanks, Joyce. Hey do you know where she is at all?" I questioned.
"Uh ye i think she is at mikes?" She answered.
"Ok thanks bye." I said hanging up. Ok so she's at mikes and god knows that kid will look after her so it's fine. I was a bit apprehensive though because that would mean she would have slept the night and they might have.... uhhhh..... never mind I don't want to think about that at the moment, thank you very much. I'd talk to el about um, that later. As of now I had the day off so I grabbed a beer and sat in front of the TV.
Mikes POV:
Oh fuck no, the basement is fucked up like, exactly as fucked up as it was when I trashed it in the dream. And el was gone. AND THE EXACT SAME FUCKING SHOES I WORE IN THE DREAM WERE IN THE EXACT SAME FUCKING PLACE AS I THREW THEM IN THE MOTHER FUCKING DREAM! Ok I was officially freaking out. I ran upstairs almost smashing my head in on the doorframe on the way up and saw an empty eggo box on the kitchen counter. WHAT IN THE 7 SHADES OF SHIT IS THIS?!?! I hurried into the living room and saw a plate rested on the arm of the layZboy and a half empty glass of orange juice on the floor beside it. Oh for fucks sake. I looked outside, terrified of seeing el and will but thank fuck I didn't. I ran upstairs to see if she was in the bathroom but on the way I heard my radio crackle from within my room and dustins loud ass voice. I backed up and popped my head around the door and almost passed out with relief. There was el, curled up on my bed on the radio with Dustin. She was wearing my hoodie which was wayyyy to big for her but she looked absolutely adorable. I hid behind the door just listening to her being the cutest person on the planet. She was laughing at something Dustin had said when my heart got trapped in my throat. Wills voice suddenly became audible. I had no reason to be afraid apart from a stupid dream that was weirdly accurate up till now but I still felt weird somehow. They were all just talking. Oh. No flirting or anything. Literally just talking about nothing. My heart rate dropped back to normal.
"Ok gotta dash, going to visit Jonathan. Bye Dustin, bye sis," Will said cheerily.
El and Dustin laughed.
"Bye bro," el said happily, then continued to talk to Dustin.
"Ok Dustin imma go too, I think mikes feeling a bit down today and I hate it when he is sad so I'm gonna go and try and cheer him up," she said. My heart literally burst. I rushed into my room, tears in my eyes and kissed el, enveloping her in a warm cuddle. I half expected her to pull away and ask what the hell I was doing, but to my amazement she kissed back.
"God I love you so much," I murmured.
"I love you more," she replied softly, curling up, resting her head in the crook of my neck. I kissed her head and cradled her softly.
"I love you most." I whispered, smiling. We sat there like that for ages until the radio cracked again. I sighed not wanting to let go of el but she reached out for the radio.
"Yo el," Dustin said. El laughed.
"Yo Dustin!" She said sounding happy. "What's up?" She asked.
"Lucas and Will are coming!" He replied. She sighed.
"You won't shut up about it but you won't tell me about it?" She asked sounding a little mad. Dustin just laughed.
"Nope! Mikes gotta know first anyway. Plus I won't tell you till it happens and I've made Lucas and will promise not to either so don't even try." He said. I sat feeling a bit left out.
"Hey mikes here, you can tell him and then me?" She asked sounding hopeful.
"Ha no. I'll tell him tho put him on."
El sighed.
"Fine. I better go call hop anyway." She said crawling out of my lap and downstairs.
"So?" I asked. "what's going on?"
"Okkkkkk so are you and el dating yet?" He asked.
"Uhhhhhh, no, why?" I asked cautiously.
"You wanna date her tho right?" He asked ignoring my question completely.
"Ye no shit Sherlock," I said rolling my eyes.
"Ok so you know Fox Mist woods up in curly county?" He asked
"Ye." I replied wanting him to get to the point.
"So I've got everything sorted and we are going to spend the weekend there and apparently there's gonna be a meteor shower so it's gonna be really pretty, so you can be all adorable and ask el out then." He said sounding excited. I was secretly over the moon but one thing put me in doubt.
"Yeah but as if hopper would let us do that." I sighed.
"That's the best bit tho, it's just the party and max going, no adults or Nancys are coming!" He said. I could actually burst with excitement.
"Ok so how am i gonna ask her out with all of you dickheads there?"
"You won't." He said shortly.
"Elaborate?" I replied.
"We are going to set up camp at 3 different points then meet at the bridge. So it will probarbly be you and el then Lucas and max then me and will can be the 6th wheels together." He said. So I could be alone with El with no disturbances? Nothing was gonna go wrong! Yes!
"I'm going, bye frog face." He said laughing.
"Oh ha ha dickhead. See you." I said sarcastically. I was actual immensely happy. That was until el walked in and created the single most awkward situation ever.
"Mike," she asked sweetly. "What's sex?"
Oh my god.
