All I See Is You [mileven]

The one where Mike finds out

this oneshot is based off an episode of 'friends', season 2 episode 7

in this au Mike and El have been friends since they were little and Mike finds out she had feelings for him because El drunkenly called him one night.

The sun shone in through the gap of El's curtains, immediately blinding her when her tired eyes fluttered open. She had woken up with a headache and no memory of the night before. All she knew was she went on a date with some guy and...it didn't go well to say the least.

She groaned as she rolled over, not wanting to get out of her comfy bed. But she knew she had to. Besides, the pain killers were in the kitchen.

El threw on one of Mike's t-shirt's which she stole and some shorts before trudging into the kitchen to get some water. Her head was pounding and the increasing nausea overwhelmed her. She internally cringed at herself as she racked her brain for any memories of the night before.

She was slumped over the kitchen table, downing some water and aspirin when there was a knock at the door. To El, that knock was way louder than it should be.

"Come in!" She called, wincing at the volume.

"Hey, El." An all to familiar voice called as he entered the front door to Max and Els shared apartment, his raven curls poking round the door.

El mumbled a few things against the glass of water she was still drinking, groaning in pain as she set the glass down.

"Oh. And how was the date?" Mike chuckled, walking over to her and leaning on the table.

"Um, I think there was a restaurant." El rubbed her forehead. "I know there was wine."

Mike grimaced, "Wow."

"I know. I definitely don't think there will be a second date." El chuckled in disbelief at herself. She grabbed the hair tie on her wrist and tied her curls up into a messy bun, to keep it out of her face.

She sat forward in her chair, squinting at him when she was suddenly hit with the memory of talking with Mike on the phone last night, but the memory was so hazy she wasn't sure if she dreamt it.

"What? Why- Why are you looking at me like that?" Mike asked, giving her a confused look and chuckling slightly, making his luscious curls bounce.

El had unknowingly been staring at him, with her eyes narrowed as she tried to figure out the memory. She cleared her throat and furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't know I- I feel like I had a dream about you last night. But I don't remember."

"Okay..."Mike froze slightly and stared back at her. "Can I get some water?" He asked, wanting to break the awkward silence.

El nodded, picking up her water again and getting up of the chair.

"Did we speak on the phone last night? Did you call me?" She asked, confused, trying to piece this memory together.

"No, I stayed at Jennifer's last night." Mike shrugged.

Jennifer.

That name was like a punch in the gut for El.

"Huh." she mumbled, heading back towards her room to get dressed.

"Oh actually, I haven't even been home yet do you mind if I check my messages?" He asked, placing down the glass and walking over to the phone.

"Oh yeah go ahead." El smiled, walking into her room.

Mike picked up the phone, his eyebrows furrowing when he heard there was a message from El.

"El I got a message from you!" Mike called.
