Hello people. This is a fanfic about Stranger Things and revolves around mostly Mike, Eleven, and Hopper, and the inevitable feuds that come with it. I really hope you enjoy! (I do not own Stranger Things :( and this is set after the snowball dance)
Chapter 1: The Wheeler kid
11:00. She should be getting out pretty soon. Hopper sat in his police car with the heater on, keeping the december weather out of the vehicle as best he could.
Not long after, El showed her face as she walked to the car, Jim saw Mike standing by the school waving goodbye. He grimaced, he wasn't excited about Mike being especially close to his adopted daughter, but he knew how much she had missed the Wheeler kid while she was in the cabin. It looked like he would have to stand it for now.
El jumped into the front seat with a shining smile on her face. Hopper's attempts to make conversation with her proved unsuccessful, as she stared at the glove compartment deep in happy thoughts. He had to admit, he loved to see her so happy after everything that had happened.
Hopper came to a stop, "okay kid, this is it". She clearly hadn't registered anything he said, and only when he slammed the door shut did she look up to see a different house.
She gave her dad a confused look as she exited the car, "the lab shut down… I thought I'd give you a better home". He looked at El to see her face, and he lit up to the surprised and joyous reaction on her face.
Almost immediately after they opened the door, Eleven let out a yawn. She had never been awake this late, well that's a lie, she had never been out of bed this late. El scanned the main room and found one bedroom, assuming it was her father's, she gave thanks and went to sit on the couch.
"Oh no you don't" Hopper grabbed El's shoulders playfully and steered her towards the room with the queen sized bed, "you think I'm gonna make you sleep on the couch?" Hopper asked.
"What about you?" Eleven asked, surprisingly growing up in a government lab and being experimented on for 12 years doesn't make you very spoiled.
"Ahh don't worry 'bout me kid, I sleep on the couch more anyways" Hopper responded with an elated smile, El smiled back and took all of her clothes that were neatly folded on the table and walked to her room.
That night, both father and daughter had a hard time falling asleep, Eleven couldn't stop thinking about Mike. The thought of him made her insides feel like they were floating, she loved the feeling. She wasn't sure how she felt about Mike, he was different than Dustin and Lucas and, that new girl. Eleven's funny feeling went away and was replaced with an extraordinary disdain for whoever the orange haired girl was.
Hopper tossed and turned on the couch as well, it wasn't uncomfortable, but he couldn't get the image of Mike out of his head either. Was he really about to take his new daughter away from him already? There wasn't any way that the two were in love, they too young to even know that feeling, and it isn't like they've kissed or anything like that…
Thank you guys so much for taking the time to read my weird little fic. Please comment if you have criticism or praise to give, both are great! also this chapter is short as to not be intimidating for people, the next chapter will be longer :)
