Main POV

Mike had snuck over into the Hopper's cabin earlier that night. He wasn't one for breaking rules, but for El, he would do anything. All she had to do was softly ask him in that beautiful, delicate voice, bat those pretty lashes over her caramel eyes, and he was a goner.

El had called him on the supercom, requesting gently for him to come over because she was scared and didn't want to be alone. Mike was already slipping his shoes on in a rush before the call ended.

He rode over on his new bike that he had received for Christmas from his parents. He finally reached the cabin, performing the secret knock and immediately being pulled into the warmth of El's arms.

She brought him into the cabin, holding him so tight, he almost thought she'd never let go. He reciprocated the embrace just as warm and they stayed there for a while. They finally pulled away to go into El's bedroom.

Mike knew he wasn't supposed to be alone with El in her room, he wasn't even supposed to be in the cabin. It had been a rule Hopper had made as soon as he realized Mike and El weren't just friends.

Deep inside, Hopper knew that Mike would never do anything to hurt his little girl, or anything she didn't want to do. But every father has that protective quality.

Mike never wanted to hurt El. He wouldn't so much as hold her hand unless she was okay with it. He was respectful towards El and her father, and Hopper appreciated that.

"El, I don't think I'm supposed to be in here." Mike said nervously as she lead him into her newly decorated room. "It's okay. Hopper's not home." she said with a comforting smile.

"I know, but what if he comes home early and he sees me in here. He owns a gun, you know?" he says worriedly. "Mike, it's okay. He won't be home till later and he would never hurt you. I wouldn't let him." El says.

"Fine, but if he catches us in here and kills me, it's your fault." he says with a teasing smile as El sat down on her bed. "Okay! Now come cuddle." El says as she tugs him onto the bed, next to her.

"Needy, are we?" he replies teasingly as he wraps one arm around her waist and the other around her shoulders. "Shut up." she mumbles as she nuzzles into his chest.

They spent the afternoon cuddled together, filling each other in on everything they missed since the last time they saw each other.

Mike told her about his annoying teachers at school and how he couldn't wait till summertime, when he could spend all day with her. El told him about how she was excited for summer and spending time with the party.

"Especially you." she had said.

They laid there all night, enjoying the quiet moments they had together. It was hard to get away from parents and teasing friends, but when they could it was amazing.

They loved spending time alone together. Whether they were cuddling while they watched a movie or going on a date. They were grateful for those moments.

Time had passed, El falling asleep on Mike's chest as she listened to the sound of the beat of his heart. Mike stayed awake, wanting to make sure that if anything went wrong he was there to protect El.

And just in case Hopper came home.

Mike watched the slow rise and fall of El's body as she took even breaths. He admired her brown lashes that fanned across her cheeks and the stray curl that fell down the center of her face. He brushed it away gently, exposing more of her glowing skin.

Mike was brought out of his haze at the sound of heavy tires coming up on the gravel. El stirred a bit, tightening her grip around Mike's torso. "El?" he asks quietly, internally panicking at the fact that Hopper was home.

She let out a low hum, replying to the questioning sound of her name. "Hopper's home." he says, trying not to freak out too much. She lets out a grumble of disapproval and Mike tries to wriggle out of her grip.

El lets out a whimper at the loss of his warmth as Mike leaves the bed to slip on his shoes that he had slipped off onto the floor carelessly.

El rubs the sleep away from her eyes as she sits up onto her knees, still on the bed. "Where are you going?" she asks sleepily. "Hopper just pulled up. I gotta go." he explains as he hops around on one foot, trying to slip on his left shoe.

Mike finally gets his shoes on, walking over to the edge of the bed. El sits there staring at him with a pout on her face. "I would love to stay, but I don't think Hopper would be happy that I came over without permission." Mike explains as he looks down at her from his position stood on the floor.

El lets out a reluctant sigh. She doesn't want him to go. Suddenly, Mike rests his hands on the bed to be more level with her. He leans up, capturing her lips in a kiss. Her bottom lip is placed between his as he adds a slight amount of pressure, his nose pressing into her cheek.

El is surprised for a moment, taking in a gasp through her nose. She kisses back after a moment, releasing the breath through her nose and sinking into the kiss.

Mike pulls back, much sooner than they both would like, resting his forehead against hers. Mike nuzzles his nose against hers.

"Goodnight, El." he whispers. "Goodnight, Mike." she whispers back, smiles on both of their faces.

Mike pulls back, reluctantly, and walks over to the window. He places one leg out, turning to give El one last dorky smile.

"Bye." he whispers. "Bye." she replies as she gives him a small wave.

Mike climbs out through the window, his feet faltering as he almost trips. El lets out a giggle and he sends her an awkward wave before running to his bike.

Luckily they didn't get caught.
