As Mike and eleven walk down the hill after an awkward moment of talking and teaching she jumped in front of him causing him to bump into her and fall over onto the grass, he looked up at her "What is it El?" he stood up and looked into her soft brown eyes "stay" she said and walked back up the hill "But it's getting late and we have to head home" he started to walk away when suddenly he was pulled back to the top of the hill where he was put in a position where he was face to face with Eleven. She let mike go where he slowly moved closer "El we need to get back before dark or my mom will kill me" she gasps "I won't let her hurt mike" she hugs him tightly and looked around to check no one was around, he slowly got her to let go of him "I didn't mean literally, it's a figure of speech that means that she will be very mad at me" he took held of her hand and walked with her back to his house and entered through the back where Eleven had been staying after a fight she had with hopper and Joyce where she ran to Mike's house where he let her stay so she could recover from the fight and go back home to sleep in her own bed. He plopped down on the couch where eleven sat next to him and cuddled into his side with a small purring sound coming from her as he put his arm around her and rubbed her small shoulder with his palm soon after eleven was asleep with her face buried in his lap.
