It was a rainy afternoon in Hawkins. Monday blues infiltrated the town like an unwanted sand in your shoe. It was 4:30 and the entire gang, Lucas, Dustin, Will, Max, Mike, and El were huddled up in the blankets wrapped in blankets watching back to the future for what seemed like the millionth time.
Dustin was saying each and every word as they were said on screen, impressive to El, but annoying as shit to the boys.
"Would you shut the fuck up already," said Lucas with Max right by his side.
Will giggled intensely.
But Mike and El couldn't be bothered, they were in their own little world. El snuggled up on mikes lap kissing him softly every once in a while. They treated each day as if it was their last together. Their friends thought it was sweet, although they never publicly displayed this.
Dustin poked and jibed the madly in love couple saying, "Guys this is a really good part. Guys. GUYS! What the fuck you two this is the best part"
Mike removed himself from El's Chocolate gaze for a moment to give Dustin his infamous dead eyes.
"I guess I'll have to rewind it," he said clearly frustrated for the lack of enthusiasm in the room.
El rolled her eyes and gave a widespread smile that all ways knocked Mike to the floor.
"You're adorable you know," Mike said, his eyes showing his unstoppable love for her.
"Oh yeah?"
"Ya," said Mike giving her a light embracing kiss on the forehead.
. . .
Once the movie finished, and the closing credits began to crawl down the screen, El, Mike, Lucas, and Max discovered Dustin Snoring on the couch.
El made a light whistle indicating her friends to give her their attention.
She carefully levitated a glass of water off the unsteady wooden table, gliding it over to Dustin's direction. Over the years she has gained a very precise method to her powers. Once the cup reached over his goofy head she slowly poured the half empty glass of water on his head.
"AAAGAGAHAHAGHA," what the fuck Eleven, he said shaking the water out of his hair like a dog that ran through the sprinklers.
It was things like this that made Mike love Eleven so much. Her timid, unshakable look on the outside, but her goofy, loyal, and surprising insides are what made her surprise him each day. Even if it was just another shitty Monday afternoon, she made each day whole and gave him the drive to get out of bed.
