the end of the world was here in hawkins.
well, at least that's what y/n said.
starcourt mall was now rundown and beat up. the kids were in the store, looking for supplies.
mike and y/n sat down in an isle, playing anxiously with their fingers as the anticipation of who was talking next killed them.
"my feet are aching." mike sighed.
y/n smiled, "my back is pretty tired."
"here. lean against this." the boy pulled an unopened pillow out of the case and handed it to her, watching her lean against it so the metal shelf wouldn't grind into her spine.
"thanks."
yet they still sat in silence, only hearing the faraway echo of lucas and will scavenging through the store.
mike looked up at the girl as he thought of their development. the time he first met her with eleven in the woods when they were trying to find will or when they had their first kiss in the gymnasium on the run from the bad men. it was like everyday was spent with her that he was in love with her.
oh girl, it's you that i lie with.
when they would lie down on the sofa in the basement and listen to his favourite songs that he had wanted to show her since they first met. the lights dim and the atmosphere cold, a warm blanket draped onto both of them.
"everybody wants to rule the world." he sung weakly, hearing her small giggle from under the blanket where her face was warm.
she duck her head up from under the blanket, "you don't sing good." her words make mike gasp in fake sadness.
"you couldn't do any better." the boy teased as he stuck his tongue out at her.
they both laughed together as y/n clung to mike's waist.
oh girl, it's you i watch tv with.
or the time they were in the cabin, both eleven and hopped out on a snack run while mike sat forbiddingly under the blanket with y/n, a blanket and a bowl of popcorn between them both. a cheesy drama show was on the screen that y/n had begged mike to watch with her.
"what are they-" she pointed weakly at the tv, wanting to know what they were doing.
"nothing." mike intervened. he turned off the screen that showed the man and woman locking lips and dragged y/n to her and eleven's shared room, bringing the popcorn with them.
"mike." y/n pouted.
the boy twisted his head in confusion.
"they were.. kissing?"
"uh. yeah. they were."
"can we- try?"
"yeah! i mean- sure."
as the world caves in!
she painted her nails black and snuck quick glances of mike grabbing at a jacket on a stand. everything was on sale, as mike liked to say. he wanted to make a more friendly atmosphere for y/n and covered up the fact that they were running from a literal flesh monster.
it didn't cover it up though. y/n and eleven closed the gate a year ago. eleven's telekinesis and y/n's omnikinesis. eleven doesn't like to acknowledge that y/n was always the stronger girl. y/n had always been stronger than el, making doctor brenner put more energy into her power.
"are we going to die?" y/n muttered.
mike turned around at her question, furrowing his eyebrows and smiling at her stupid question. "it's not like we're creeping up on extinction."
"what if we do? one of us could die. our final night alive." y/n watched as mike scattered to her side, hugging her.
"we won't, ten."
as the world caves in!
