[U/C] Stranger Feelings || Mike Wheeler

Cabin In The Woods [14]

"How-" Mike kept his eyes glued on mine. "I found her, patched her up and brought her here, kid." I hear Hopper mentioning from behind me, standing aside Joyce that stood aside Will's bed. 

"Where?" He asks. "Papa-" I mumble with a very soft tone while looking down. "What?" Hopper hurried over to us and intervened. "I found her in the woods." He mentioned, causing me to blink while looking up at him. "But-" Hopper gave me a certain gaze. I nod my head and look back at Mike. "But all that matters is that she's back and that Will's safe." He speaks up. Mike looks at Will before his gaze moved towards mine again, smiling.

Mike's dark eyes were shining as I could feel he wanted to pull me into his embrace. I also knew he was a timid guy and would most likely not do such things in front of others. Instead of that, he took my hands. "Don't ever leave us- ever again." He spoke with a slight nod. I nod my head.

"Promise," I reply as his gaze changed. I feel his grip on my hands soften as he releases me, causing me to feel a little bit worried.

"D-Did I say something wrong?" I suspect. As he swallowed, shaking his head. "No- you didn't it's just... It reminds me of someone." I frown softly at his comment. 'Someone?' I open my mouth, ready to speak up about it as his gaze moves down. I close my mouth and nod softly. 'He must've lost someone special to him.' I considered to myself.

"I know what you mean," I state, causing him to flinch. He looks up at my full of surprise.  "You do?", "Of course.", "So you knew her?" I furrow my eyebrows. "Okay!" I hear a boisterous clap. "Enough of this lovely dovely stuff, but I need to bring (Y/n) back home. It's getting late." Hopper mentioned as I could hear his footsteps approaching up to me. After that, I felt hands being placed on my shoulders. "C'mon Kid. Let's get you back home." He started walking towards the exit, hoping I would come along.

"Who?" I speak up while looking at Mike. Lucas resembled suspicion of Hopper and crosses his arms, moving one eyebrow up. Dustin looks at me and Mike. Joyce and Jonathan looked at each other then at Hopper. Then there was Will. "Eleven." The male spoke before Mike even had the chance to. My eyes enlarge as my heart sunk.

"S–So you do know her?" Mike inquiries surprised. "I-" My eyes shift back from Will's to Mike's. Hopper rubbed his face with one hand. He didn't want this to escalate. "Eleven..." I start perplexingly. "She- She's my sister." I mouth. Everyone's gaze shifted into astonishment and confusion.

"Holy-" Lucas muttered, Dustin finishing with 'Shit'. I look at everyone in the room as Mike's gaze turned into betrayal. "Why haven't you told us?" I catch Mike snapping at me. This was the first time his tone exchanged entirely. I rotate my head towards him. "I... I didn't kno-" He cuts you off as his eyebrows furrow into anger.

"You came from the same place and you haven't told us? You said you didn't have any siblings! And now you're telling us you have a sister!?" he speaks briskly. I take a step back, halfway bumping backwardly into Hopper's abdomen. I felt frightened, interrogated by him. I had utterly no idea what to do. This Mike isn't the Mike I know.

"Mike, calm down Bud," Dustin mentioned as he took a step closer at him, making a gesture at him. Everyone in the room gaped at his sudden reaction.

"No! You don't understand! I'm trying to reach her for 353 days! And now she's telling me she's her sister!" he yelled whilst his whole body changed into rage. It wasn't his voice only anymore. I look at Dustin looked concerned. "I- Didn't wan-" Mike's head snaps towards me as he cuts me off.

"You didn't want what!?" he spoke with an interrogating tone. My heart increased as my eyes kept being glued on his. His eyes didn't sparkle with happiness anymore. His eyes were darker than ever, full of anger. My gaze moves down as I mumble: "I didn't want to bring you in danger.."
