When (Y/n) (L/n) was 13, her parents told her they were going to move to Hawkins, Indiana. She was completely against it, the thought of leaving everyone she knew and loved was terrifying.
When they arrived, she didn't know what to think. She didn't know why her parents would want to move here.
Her new friends, however, soon kept her distracted from her homesickness, as she was roped into things she could never imagine. Such as fighting demogorgons and helping Will beat the 'shadow monster'. That was the year she met Eleven.
When (Y/n) was 15, she discovered the feelings she had for the Eggo-loving girl. But she knew El liked Mike, and he liked her back. So she never told about her crush.
When (Y/n) was 16, prom came around. She knew who she wanted to go with, but also knew it was close to impossible.
Sure, she got asked by a few people who were nice and sweet, but said no anyway.
What she didn't know, was that El did like her, and Mike knew this. In fact, he tried to help her gain the courage to ask her to the upcoming dance. But no matter how many times she tried, El got to nervous, and retreated back to Mike.
"I don't think I can" she sadly looked at (Y/n), who was laughing while talking to Dustin about Star Wars.
"It's okay El, prom is tomorrow, just ask her to dance then!"
"Yeah, I guess"
Mike knew that both girls had been hiding their feelings for the past year, as did the other guys. They hated seeing their friends go to ask each other to the dance, only to panic and ask a different question. Then to see the other disappointedly answer them. It had been going on for a few months now, in a seemingly endless cycle.
The night of the dance came, and sure enough, both El and (Y/n) were dressed up, and both looked gorgeous. They kept throwing glances at each other, and Mike had enough. "El, please go ask her to dance, you really want to, I can see it"
"What if she says no?"
"She won't, but if so, then just tell her it's just as friends"
El nodded and somewhat confidently made her way over to where (Y/n) was sitting. "W-would you like to dance?"
(Y/n) looked up to see El's brown eyes looking directly at her. She went a light shade of pink "Yeah, of course"
So El grabbed her hand and lead her out to the floor, putting her hands on the girl's shoulders. People immediately started whispering, and slowly, but obviously, moving away from where they stood.
They chose to ignore it, until one jackass decided he needs to speak "It's not okay for two girls to dance together you know"
(Y/n) looked down embarrassed, and Eleven felt the grip on her hand tighten. If looks could kill, this dipshit would be dead. He was receiving one of El's famous glares, and he knew it.
She didn't say anything, just turned around and pulled (Y/n) out the doors of the school. Everyone in the gym saw him trip near the drinks table, causing the blood red punch to fall right on him. And only those who knew about El's powers, knew this wasn't an accident.
The boys said something though. Each one yelled at him, causing the boy to shrink in fear. No one had ever seen the school nerds this angry in their life.
The girls walked for at least 10 minutes in complete silence until they came to a clearing near a small pond. It had one willow tree on the edge and the full moon was reflecting on the water, casting a shiny glow over the area.
They had no music, just the sound of the wind and water. But it was perfect.
Without saying a word, El grabbed (Y/n) hand and the two began dancing again, slowly making their way back to conversation.
"Thank you" (Y/n) smiled "That was great, what you did"
Eleven looked into her eyes and did the only thing she could think of.
