Stranger Things Imagines

Mike Wheeler: Science Project

Mike's POV

I slowly walked towards the girl of my dreams, but the only problem was that she was one of the popular kids of our school and stereotypically, the popular kids despised us. The biggest problem was that I was partnered up with Y/n. Again, she is the girl of y dreams. I slowly sat beside her and she moved her desk closer to mine. She looked at me and said "I went to school with you since kindergarten Wheeler. I know you're SUPER smart. So you can do the whole project. I'll be the cute thing that stands next to you." This is when I realized, she hasn't changed since elementary.

A few minutes later class was about to end, I started packing up my stuff before the bell rang and went to stand up to go wait by the door, but felt a hand grab mine, and tears were in e/c eyes, right in front of mine and a faint "can we work at your house, like... right after school?" escaped small peach coloured lips, right beneath my own. I nodded my head, yes, the bell rang and I handed her, her stuff and ran out.

Faster then I thought, school came to an end.

I was outside getting my bike, pulling it out of the rusty blue rack till I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to come face to face with the same e/c eyes I had earlier, no tears this time. I got on my bike and moved up on it and said "Get on the back. I can ride us to my place." I saw a small smile creep up to her face and she climbed on the back and whispered: "What do I hold on to for safety?" I looked back at her and said "my waist?" and she blushed and said "okay" wrapping her small, thin, arms around my waist. I pushed off and began quickly riding down the street. We sped past houses and trees and forests and building until we got to my house, we pulled into the garage and she got off. I felt a chill where her arms left my body. I got off the bike and dropped it on the ground. I opened the door and my mom, dad, Nancy, and Holly were all right there. I swallowed hard and took Y/n's hand running down to the basement.

I threw my bag on the D&D table and sat on the couch. She looked around and I said "You can come sit on the couch with me. I mean... If you want?" She smiled slightly and came over with a super cute smile, I leaned back in my seat and she cuddled into my side and started crying. I was completely shocked that she had just started crying. I hugged her hesitantly and whispered "What's wrong?" and she said, "Mike please don't make me go home." I pulled her face away from me and looked into her eyes and asked: "What's wrong?" She looks up at me, tears pouring down her s/c cheeks and she says "Mike! He hits me, my dad, he hits me and it's horrible, he'll pin me to the wall and beat me, I'm too scared to go home plea-" I pulled her to my chest and held her for a long time. She finally calmed down and I noticed my basement door was open and I ran upstairs to see Holly standing there. I heard a faint "Is she your girlfriend?" from her quiet voice and I said "NO!" slamming the door and going back downstairs. I finally got back downstairs and I walked over and sat in front of her and asked "Um... Can I see them?" She looked confused and she sniffed and wiped her tears. "See what?" I quickly answered "The bruises." She looked up the stairwell and I did too, seeing she was probably just checking if anyone was there.

I looked back at her to see her pulling her shirt off. I helped her take it off and tossed it on the floor. She says "You can touch the bruises I don't care." I lightly moved my fingers over a huge one on her stomach and moved closer each time I would touch another one. I saw lash marks on her back and hugged her rubbing over them. I pulled away from the hug and my face was inches from her. We kind of just stared at each other for a couple seconds and I pushed my forehead to hers and took her hand in mine. I rubbed my thumb on the back of her hand, I felt my heartbeat speeding up. I pressed my nose against hers and I was going in for the kill.

That was all up until the basement door whipped open and Nancy yelled: "Come eat!" I jumped and groaned and yelled, "Can you wait a minute?!" I looked back at Y/n to see she was sitting on the floor with her book bag out and her sweater on shoving her shirt in the bag. I got on the floor and smiled at her. She smiled back and I threw my arm over her shoulder when this huge wave of confidence hit me. I leaned into her side and she looked up at me and asked: "Do you need something?" I smiled and leaned in again placing my forehead on hers. She giggled and tried to look down but I used my finger to pull her head back up and place my lips on hers. I moved my lips to her's a bit, she giggled and wrapped her hand around the back of my neck and played with my hair. I smiled into the kiss and pulled my face away around only an inch. I whispered, "After I eat we should take a break from the project and spend some time together with the way we just did." She bit her lip and kissed me and said: " We should start the project first." and giggled.

I kissed her one last time said "fine" and kissed her cheek going upstairs. I looked back and said "I'll see if you can stay the night." she smiled softly and said "thank you"and I continued going upstairs.
