mike and eleven dating would include;
- cuddles. lots of them.
- since eleven can probably go to school by now, mike is literally either a) helping eleven get used to the school or b) staring at her during classes
- mike would probably get bullied during gym bc he has noodle arms, and el would discreetly use her powers to get back at them
- "hey, noodle arms! stop flailing around and play the damn game!"
"oi, troy, are you peeing yourself?"
"not againnnnn"
- passing notes in class
- study dates, but they're too shy to call them dates
- "it's a study SESSION, lucas."
"date."
"no, shut up it's just a session."
"yep, have fun on your date."
- the party teasing them 24/7
- occasional jealousy (probably more from mike) bc of some dumbasses trying to flirt with his girl *protective boyfriend mode activated*
- staying up until the crack of dawn on the supercomm
- karen wheeler would take 8373828274843 pictures of them (much to mike's annoyance)
- gently holding hands
- mike being nervous yet proud bc he's never had a girlfriend before and he doesn't want to screw it up, but at the same time, he has a giRLFRIEND
- eleven being scared of a thunderstorm when they have a sleepover, so instead of her on the bed while he sleeps on the floor, they cuddle 🤧
- "mike give me back my book or i will make you piss yourself."
"you wouldn't dare!"
- el being soft™️ in their relationship, and not understanding why mike's cheeks get so red
- "i just wanna cuddle and kiss you mike."
"mike? why do you look like a tomato?"
- el loves his curls
- he loves hers
- el will protect her boy with her life, but mike will do so in a heartbeat as well
- kisses on the cheek
- el has to stand on her tip toes to kiss him on the lips WHAT THE FUC-
- if you don't think that el has used her powers to mess with mike, you are WRONG
- "why the fuck are my action figures in the ai-"
*soft giggles*
"el!"
- one time el was crying bc she had a nightmare about dr. brenner finding her again, and mike was with her until she woke up the next morning feeling joyful
- mike gradually gets el to like coca-cola
- el being a HUGE star wars nerd
- mike has heart eyes at all times around her
- mike got the dad talk from hopper
- when el finds out her birthday (she better) mike makes sure she has the best day

- nancy would tease the fuck out of him, but in secret they are her otp
- dustin and will are 5th wheeling
(i ship them tho shut up)
- el comforts mike when he feels that he doesn't deserve her and starts panicking and self-doubting himself
- and of course mike is always there with tea, a movie, and hugs after el has a panic attack
- people are confused by how MIKE WHEELER got a girlfriend (but they all adore them)
- mike would shyly pull el in for a kiss

- "he lovesssss youuuu."
"i know he does. i do too."
"wait you guys said the three words."

*internal squealing*
- mike shyly using cheesy pick up lines, but el jokingly replies
- "did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
"no, but i did scrape my knee when i crawled up from hell."
"oh."
"that explains why you're so hot."
"mike!"
