003 (Stranger Things Season 2 OC Insert)

Chapter Two: Tell Me Why

(Sorry it took so long for another chapter, but here it is.)

Bruce was sitting on the edge of a bed where El was sleeping on her side. He remembered that when he moved in El wanted him to stay in the same room as her, he tried to decline but Jim said it would be safer than the couch. So here he was, but he was awake early in the morning. There was always one question in the back of his head, why was he out for so long?

He stood up and walked out of the room in his sleeping attire which consisted of some black jeans and no shirt. He went into the kitchen where he began to cook breakfast for Jim and El since he was already up. After about thirty minutes he finished making breakfast which was made up of french toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and orange juice. The sound of someone walking caused him to turn around and see Jim

"Well, I see that you took care of breakfast"

Bruce nodded and smiled a bit before placing three plates on the table along with two glasses of orange juice and a cup of coffee for Jim. Once Bruce finished up he went into El's room and opened it to see her still sleeping, he smiled and walked up to the bed before shaking her a bit

"Hey, wake up"

El let out a groan

"Come on, I made breakfast"

Her eyes opened at that which made Bruce smile, she always loved his cooking for some reason. As she began to fully wake up he picked up his shirt and put it on. He looked over to El who had somehow put a sheet over herself with two holes cut out

"What are you doing?"

"Suprise"

Bruce shook his head a bit before walking out of the room to see Jim making another cup of coffee, El slowly walked out and snuck up behind Jim who turned around and jumped

"Oh, Jesus"

Bruce laughed as El started a conversation with Jim

"Ghost"

"Yeah, I see that"

"Halloween"

"Sure is"

Jim started to walk to the table as Bruce explained to Jim

"I think she wants to go trick-or-treating"

Jim sat down as he looked at El

"You want to go trick-or-treating?"

"They wouldn't see me"  

"Who wouldn't see you?"

"The bad men"

Jim sighed as he turned back to his food

"You know the rules"

"Yes but-"

"Yeah, so you know the answer"

"No, but they wouldn't see me"

Bruce stood up from his chair and spun El to face him

"Hey, even if you are wearing a costume you'll still be in danger. Even I would be and I look much different than before"

El seemed defeated as Bruce pulled her into a hug for a few seconds, he separated from her and looked down

"Come on, your foods getting cold"

The two sat down while El had an angry face as Jim put maple syrup on his and El's plates, he looked at her and sighed
