"El, are you almost ready?" Mike asked, knocking on the bathroom door. The couple was supposed to be going out to a very special dinner tonight.

"Yes, babe."

Mike and El both shared an apartment together and they attended the same college in Chicago. They had been a couple for 10 years now, today marking their relationship anniversary of the day Mike had found El in the woods.

El opened the door, revealing her in a beautiful medium length wine red dress with black wedges that she struggled to walk in, but managed to anyhow.

"You look, HOT!"

Mike thought she was so hot, he could melt!

"Thank you!" El exclaimed, twirling around her skirt flowing. "You look very handsome!" She tugged on the shoulder of his black tuxedo and caressed his cheek. The two locked and left their apartment and walked out into the city.

Living in Chicago wasn't the safest, so they were very careful and always kept pepper spray and a knife with them. El never went out alone and Mike always had to go with her. She held onto his arm, and walked along. Mike didn't trust taxis.

They finally arrived at the Red Ju Du Steakhouse.

a/n: I completely made that up if you were hoping to try it. IT'S FAKE lmao.

"Reservation for Mike Wheeler." Mike stated to the lady at the front desk. She checked her times and told them to follow her. She led them to a booth in the back.

"Well, El. First time at a fancy restaurant would you say?" Mike asked. El nodded and giggled. "Well, anyday you look like you could fit in it." He stated, complimenting his beautiful girlfriend.

The waitress came over and took their drink orders. They both ordered wines because tonight was a very special occasion. *.+ They're 22/23 +.*

"Cheers?" El asked, holding her glass up. Mike clinked his glass against hers and they both took a gulp.

"Did I tell you that you're beautiful?" Mike asked, flirtatiously.

"Did I tell you that you're very handsome indeed?" El replied, raising her eyebrow and taking another sip of the grape red drink.

The two made flirty faces at each other and then burst out in laughter, the eyes of other people lay upon them; but they didn't care. They were in their own little world where it was only them, where they were lost in each others souls.

"Remember when our life turned weird and there was flayers and demogorgons?" Mike asked. "Yeah, I remember that..." El nodded, feeling uneasy. "Well, if that didn't happen, I wouldn't have met the loveliest girl in the universe!" He exclaimed, putting his hands on hers. She smiled, and looked up at Mike.

"I love you, and I want to be with you the rest of my life." Mike said, reaching into his pocket searching for the little velvet box. "After all we've been through, the thick and thin. We've made it through. You are the little special lady I love. The one who's saved all of Earth! I look up to her and want to cherish her kindness forever. She's goregous, but there's more to her than looks." He continued.

"El," He started pulling out the ring box, "I want to be with you forever, so w-will you marry me?" Mike asked, his eyes brighter than ever opening the box revealing a shiny diamond ring.

"Of course I will!" El exclaimed, tears of joy dripping down her cheeks. She had been explained to the concept of marriage before when Nancy got married to Jonathan and she never knew it would happen to her with Mike.

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!" El exclaimed, kissing Mike right on the lips. He slipped the engagement ring onto her ring finger.

"I'm yours." Mike stated, simply.

"I'm yours too." El smiled.
