(lowercase intended)
it was a calm starry night in july, el was home alone and she didn't know what to do-
"mike!" the first word that popped in her head always
she ran to her supercom that mike gave her so he can talk to her, she found the station and started hearing static
she takes a deep breath and starts talking
on the other side of hawkins mike was laying in his bed looking at one of his old toys that he had when he was a kid. it was his dinosaur roary, the one he showed el when he stayed home from school that day to be with her
"mike?"
mike's head looks over at his desk and sees his supercom
he hears her voice, her sweet soft voice
"mike do you c-co-copy?"
he gets up and grabs his supercom
"el! yeah i copy, what are you doing?"
she sighs in relief that he answered
"...im home alone and-"
"do you want me to come over?" mike panicked a little his el was home alone and could be scared or lonely
"...yes"
a big smile appears on his freckled face-a big dorky smile
"okay be there 6:15"
"6-1-5"
"ill see you soon"
"bye"
he turned his supercom off and put it in his backpack throwing that on his back and running downstairs
"michael where are you going it's late?!" karen said as she was putting the dishes away
"i-uh-um i gotta go to the uh...the library! yeah you know get to the books!" he says he was a bad liar but his parents are gullible so-
"oh, okay be back by 7!"
"got it!" and like that he was out the door on his bike, biking to hoppers cabin
he got there pretty fast so he knocked on the door, he heard shuffling inside and soon enough el was right there at the door a big adorable smile on her baby face
"mike!"
"hi!"
she doesn't say anything she just grabs his hand and pulls him inside and to her room they sit on els bed their legs criss crossed in front of each other, and mike being the whipped teenager he is couldn't stop that smile growing on his face
"so how are you?" mike asks as he grabs her hands interlocking them with his
el looks down and smiles at their connected hands "pretty good"
mike does a small laugh at how cute she is using his words he said to her way back in the fall of 83
"that's good, so hop left you alone?"
"yeah he went out somewhere i don't know where...said it was sp..sp-"
mike watches her nodding as she says the word, she's been learning so many new words that he can have an actual conversation with her now
"..special"
"that's good el! so somewhere special?" mike says bringing their interlocked hands up a bit playing around with them
"yeah, he said with someone" she giggles a little at mike's playing
"with someone?" mike was a little shocked.. does that mean-hopper the cheif of hawkins, father of the girl he loves-still has to ask to be his girlfriend, has a date? with who?
she nods "he was smiling a lot too"
mike nods and just looks at el with such a lovestruck look
he's head over heels.
"mik-"
"el would you be my girlfriend?"
he thought it was finally time to man up and ask her he's liked her for so long he realizes he loves her too so so so much, but one step at a time
her face went from normal to shocked in the matter of a second, she brought their hands down still interlocked with each other and started smiling such a soft smile, mike couldn't help but look at her with even more love, eyes slightly widened and smile never leaving his face
she didn't know what to say she's never been filled with so much happiness before, she felt like she could float up to sky touch the clouds and become one of the beautiful shining starts because her smile was magical and bright just like them, she would fit perfectly
so she does what she always feels what's right with mike
she leans in, he takes notice and couldn't help the soft smile that always appears on his face before el kisses him or he kisses her, he takes her hands and helps bring them to his neck, even though her hands were already going there anyway, his hands go to her arms once their lips finally collide in a kiss that had so much meaning. it was slightly more rough then their usual kisses but they still loved it, el pulled him forward a little bit but he didn't mind she initiated the kiss this time and that meant to him that she was comfortable and trusted him
the flavor of their lips a nice ripen strawberry thanks to her chapstick, the way their lips moved in sync like the missing piece of the puzzle was finally found and fit perfectly, the way her hands griped his vest and his thumb running over the soft silky smooth skin on her arm, her smile forming on her face as her lips press into his deeper, his smile soft and moving along with her lips in the same beautiful rhythm
they finally pull away for air and rest their foreheads together that smile never daring to leave their faces
mike bites his lip in anticipation "...so is that a yes?"
el takes her forehead off of his and looks at his face, a cute shade of pink, lips a little redder than before, eyes wide and full of love all for one person
el hopper and so her answer was easy
"yes."
THIS IS INSPIRED BY THE COCA COLA AD WE GOT TODAY AND THAT MILEVEN KISS THAT TRULY ALMOST ENDED ME
