(9) Mistake? I think not.

21 is a big age.

When Mike turned the big two-one Lucas, Max, and Dustin were already of age. That left Will and El as the youngest.

On Mike's 21st birthday, the party threw him a surprise party, and showered him with gifts. Mainly small amounts of money and humorous cards with pictures from him and El inside.

Then they all went out to dinner, just the kids, who were all in college now, so you couldn't really call them kids.

Mike didn't really want to drink that night, but his friends (minus El and Will who had gone to see a movie) told him "this is the first night you'll be legally allowed to get drunk! Why waste a chance Mike?" So he eventually decided he would go, but he ended up being the DD for his more wild friends.

After that Mike went to his apartment, where he and El cuddled under a thick blanket, on the couch next to the furnace, which imitated a fireplace for the young couple. They watched a movie then fell asleep in that spot, the TV still playing softly behind them.

El's 21st birthday was a different story.

At first she was reluctant to go out with her friends and drink, because she didn't particularly enjoy the sensation she had waking up the next morning. But this time, Mike was willing and Will had turned 21 earlier that year, so she was the only one who hadn't gone out to drink before, she simply didn't want to feel left out.

In the morning, she had a nice breakfast with Joyce, Hopper, Will, and Mike at their favorite diner. Then El and Mike said their farewells and went to their apartment and had a pretty chill day, watching films and eating popcorn and eggos, and having a chill make out session every once and a while.

Once 7:00 rolled around Max, Lucas, Dustin, and Will showed up, Max dragging El to her room to get her ready, while Mike waited patiently with the guys. He and El shared a room and it would only take Mike a minute or so to get ready.

His girlfriend came out in a cute outfit of some ripped mom jeans and a band t-shirt tucked in. A brown belt around her waist and her hair done up nicely, in a side French braid type thing that Max has wanted to try out on her.

El was radiating confidence that she usually lacked, and it rubbed off on Mike as well.

The tall boy rushed to get ready, his friends were dragging the two out of the apartment five seconds after he was done.

"Where are we even going guys?" Mike asked as his group of friends rushed he and El to the car.

"We're going to that new bar in curly county, duh." Max said, she climbed over the middle seat, where she and Lucas would later drunkenly make out. Mike and El were sat in the middle seat, and Will and Dustin were in the front.

*Time skip bc ya bitch is lazy*

Once successfully wasted, Lucas and Max decided to go out to the car, what they did in there was not something the group wanted to talk about. Dustin was somewhat tipsy, and Will sipped on a soda while he watched over his friends. Mike, Will, or El were usually the DDs.

Mike and El were, undeniably, and undoubtedly drunk off the deep end.

Some girl who was equally intoxicated went up to them, taking a long drag on some smuggled in weed, she blew out the smoke and pointed between El and Mike.

"You t-two should get m-married!" She shouted. This statement wouldn't have been given much thought if the young couple were sober, but right now was a different story.

The black haired boy and the brunette girl stopped everything they were doing, staring at each other intensely.

"Mike...."

"El....."

It was weird how they could talk with their eyes, but they were out the back door before Will or Dustin could realize they were missing.

*Time skip again*

Mike woke up first.

His head pounding as he sat up and took in his surroundings. His "girlfriend" was cuddled up to his chest and sleeping soundly, and there was off white painted walls of some motel they must have stayed at.

Mike leaned down to kiss El on the head, proceeding to stand up and groan. Mike didn't bother fix his wild hair as he exited the room to buy some ibuprofen for he and El. The guy at the front desk chuckled at the disheveled boy.

"Late night?" He asked, trying to make small talk with the younger male who was fumbling with the change in his wallet. Mike cringed.

"Hey, it's on me." The guy said, pushing the box over to Mike, who smiled politely and placed his hand on the box. He stopped abruptly, catching sight of a small ring that lay on his finger, he looked up at the man at the counter quickly, panic arising in his eyes.

Mike uttered a "thanks" before snatching the pills and rushing back to his room, where El was beginning to stir.

Mike's thoughts began to run, and El, who hated being hungover, let out a pained groan as she got up.

"Mike? I think I'm going to be sick." She said, rushing to the bathroom, Mike quietly held back her hair, both of them sitting against the wall once El calmed down a bit and swallowed two pills.

"El, do you remember anything we did last night?" He asked.

"No." She replied simply, Mike took her hand, which also had a ring on it, and held it up to his.

"Did we..?"

"Yeah El I think we did."

El sighed resting her head on his shoulder.

"Now this is the story all about how my life got flip-turned upside down."
