Mike's pov
I slowly opened the door, making sure not to wake her up and stepped into the cozy room.
Eleven was sleeping. She was sick.
I walked over the room to get to her and sat down on the ground at a side of the bed, resting my head on my folded arms I lied on the matrace at the level of her sleeping face.
She was so precious, my beautiful angel, even with dark circles under her eyes when she was sick and sleepy.
I couldn't help but tuck a loose strand of her silky brown hair soft to the touch behind her ear, touching her warm face.
A barely audible qroan escaped her lips as her tired eyes slightly opened with a few blinks.
Her lips formed a little weak smile when she recognized me looking straight into her eyes.
My heart melted at the sight."M-mike?" her feeble voice caressed my ears. "You're going t-to get infected..."
I smiled at the way she cared for me and carressed her cheek, moving my thumb up and down on her smooth, burning skin.
"I don't care. As long as I can be with you."
Her smile was heartwarming.
"I'm surprised Hopper even let me in.." I chuckled.
"Listen, Mike..." I looked at her expecting her to say some bad news, my smile fading away and my heart skipping a beat.
"I... had a little talk with dad and..."
Her fragile hand crawled out from underneath her warm blanket and found mine. I held it gently and waited for El to continue.
"and.. he said that he's sorry. He's sorry for holding you away from me. And that it was just so selfish. So... I guess he's okay with us being together now."
"Oh... well that's great..." I smiled. "even though you know I'd find a way to sneak into your room anyway."
I made her chuckle a little bit.
I looked her in her magical brown eyes I'd always drown in very quickly and couldn't resist leaning in for a kiss.
I closed my eyes, getting really close, when I felt her hands on my cheeks stop me, gently pushing me backwards with all her strength left.
"Mike... I.. really don't want to infect you..."
"And I really don't care if I get infected. Then we'll be sick together."
"Mike..."
"Ellllllll."
"Ok. Promise?" she smiled, chuckling lightly.
"Promise." I leaned in again and felt her hands again, but this time they weren't pushing me away, but pulling me closer.
Our lips touched and my heart exploded with joy.When I pulled away, her eyes were full of love and her lips were stretched into a little smile.
"M-mike? If you really don't care if you get infected... um..." she said shyly and lifted her blanket up, gesturing for me to get in there.
I gladly took the offer and slipped into the bed.
I pulled El close with my hand in her hair, stroking it lightly. Her head was rested on my chest, she must have heard my heart beat.Her breathing slowed down after a while and that's when I knew she was asleep.
I would hold her like this forever if I could, but I had to go back home, so I slowly released my hold around her and lied her hands on the matrace beside her and tucked her in the blanket.
I took some steps towards the door and looked at her one last time. So peaceful..
-three days later -
I opened El's door. I was visiting her again.
She was awake this time, reading some girly magazine.
And her focused face was freaking cute.
Her head turned in my direction the moment she noticed me standing in the door, staring at her.
She smiled at me and watched me getting closer.
"Hi Mike!"
"Hey El, how are you doing?"
She shrugged. "Still the same..."
I sat on the edge of her bed and held her hand in mine. "You're gonna get better soon, I know it."
And then a moment of sharp pain hit the inside of my head. My eyes shut at the sudden rough sensation.
"Are you okay?" El asked worried, her soft little hand touching my cheek gently.
"Y-yeah. It was just... my head-" and then it came again and I had to groan in pain a little.
She sat up straighter and took my face in her hands, showing me a concerned expression.
"Mike. Something is wrong. Oh- your forehead is burning! Oh no, I really infected you... I'm so so sorry..."
"No, El- it's really okay."
And then her tired eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute!" she put her hands around my neck and pulled me closer. "Remember your promise?"I was confused at first. "What?"
"We'll be sick together."
I chuckled. "Oh, I don't think Hopper would like that very much."
"I don't care. You are my boyfriend."
As she said that, I felt like giving her the sweetest kiss ever, but my thought was quickly interrupted by another sharp shot of pain inside my head.
I squeezed my eyes shut and almost fell on top of El. She wrapped her arms around my body and pulled me close.
"Mike" she whispered with a worried face. "Come here."
She moved nearer the wall beside her bed and made space for me, pulling my hand along with her until I fell down onto the mattress.El let me under her blanket. She put her hand on my chest, the other one caressing my cheek soothingly.
She leaned close to my ear and whispered: "I love you." before kissing my lips softly.
"I- I love you.. too."
My hand found hers and intertwined our fingers, laying them both knotted on my chest.
Soon after El's breathing got more even. She was asleep. And so was I.
