Hey guys, sorry I couldn't get this story out earlier because it's snowing. In the UK. In December. Trust me that's as rare as having a hot day in the Summer.

BTW, don't hate me if I get the period stuff wrong. I'm just gathering all the information in my head so… yeah. Let's go.

Mike and El cuddled up in her fort in Mike's basement. Mike still wouldn't take it down but instead ended up making it bigger, so they could both comfortably fit. El was still rewarding Mike, her knight in shining armour with kisses. She kissed his neck, slightly bruised from Tom's arm and his broken fingers on his right hand. He had to have his entire hand wrapped up and it was causing difficulty for him to do everyday stuff.

El noticed this and moved down to Mike's pants. 'No, no, no. It's okay El, you don't need to do that.' Mike grabbed El and attempted to pull her up. El shook free of Mike's grasp and unbuttoned his trousers. 'Oh god, El. Nancy is upstairs, what if she comes down?' El looked up, 'Then I'm going to have to be quick again.' She pulled down his underwear and Mike's dick sprung free almost hitting El in the face.

El smiled, 'Hey Mike, what do you think would happen if I do…' El flicked her tongue along the tip, sending electric currents through Mike. 'Oh Eleven', Mike began to sweat.' El traced her tongue all the way down her shaft and started sucking on one of his balls. Mike's heart beat quickened as she started this new thing. Where in the literal fuck was she learning all of this stuff? Mike thought as El licked her tongue all the way to top again. Mike watched as she leant forward and hovered her mouth over his dick.

Suddenly El felt an immense pressure in the lower part of her stomach. She breathed in heavily and fell backwards. 'EL! El, are you okay?' Mike got up and kneeled by her. 'I'm fine, I just need to go to the bathroom.' El stood up and walked up the basement stairs before turning to Mike, 'Sorry'. El said, nodding to Mike's slowly wilting member. Mike looked down, 'It's ok, El', Mike said looking back up. She smiled and carried on walking up the stairs.

El walked into the bathroom and moved to the toilet. El pulled down her pants and saw blood. It terrified her, and she screamed loudly. El heard the basement door slam and then a banging on the bathroom door.

'El! El! Are you alright in there? I heard you scream.' Mike yelled worriedly. 'Mike! I'm bleeding! My stomach and head hurt and I'm scared!' El explained in a panicked state. Mike shouted through the door, 'Where are you bleeding from, El?' El replied, 'My privates'. Mike fell silent behind the door. 'Mike?', El called out to him. 'Hold on El, let me get Nancy. Just hold on'.

El was sitting on the toilet panicking. She thought she was dying. Her stomach was still hurting, and she had a headache since she woke up. El tried to calm herself, because she needed to get someone to help her.

'NANCY!', Mike called up the stairs. 'EL NEEDS YOUR HELP'. Nancy rushed downstairs to find Mike panicking. 'What's wrong with her?' Mike suddenly got awkward, 'She's um… bleeding from her… um privates.' Nancy nodded her head, understanding why Mike was acting like an idiot and why El was so scared. She was locked in a lab for 11 years, of course she didn't know what was happening to her. Nancy walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it, 'El, I know what's wrong with you. Can you let me in, so I can explain and help you?'

The door unlocked itself and Nancy walked in to find El sitting on the toilet with blood all over her lower areas. She had tears in her eyes and was staring at Nancy in confusion. Nancy sighed, 'Don't cry Eleven you are going to be fine.'

'Let's get you cleaned up and I'll explain what's happening. I'm gonna get you some clean clothes. You should shower while I'm gone. Alright?' Nancy asked. Eleven shakily replied. 'Ok.' Nancy rummaged through the bathroom cabinet to find her hidden stash of feminine stuff after she returned with the clean clothes. 'El, this is a pad. You can use it to catch blood. You stick it on your underwear.' Nancy explained. She gave Eleven her new clothes as she stepped out of the shower and handed her the pad. Eleven got dressed and sat down to listen to Nancy.

Nancy started to explain, 'El, you got your first period today.' El crinkled her eyebrows. 'Period? I thought that was to do with school?' El asked. 'Well yes, it is another word for lesson but for girls it's when you bleed once a month for about 3-5 days. They come with cramps that is the stomach pain. Also, you get cravings for certain foods and headaches. It happens unless you become pregnant. It's totally normal and it happens to all girls, starting around this age', Nancy explained.

El looked worried, 'This is going to happen every month?' Nancy placed a hand on her shoulder, 'Yes, it is one of the pains of being a woman, but it does mean Mike will have to be very careful with what he says around you.' El looked confused, 'Why?' Nancy smiled, 'Because girls' moods change when this happens. One minute we're happy and the next we want to destroy everything'. El thought back to yesterday when she slapped Mike for teasing her curls and then immediately feeling guilty afterwards. She also remembered eating all of Mike's food while he was in the bathroom a few days ago.

'Ok, you look a lot better. Go down to your fort and I'll talk to Mike.' Nancy instructed. El shook her head, 'No, he'll laugh at me.' Nancy giggled, 'El. Seriously. He cares about you, the last thing he will do is laugh at you.' El thought about it and nodded, 'OK'.

El and Nancy walked out of the bathroom and saw Mike pacing in the living room. El waked down to the basement while Nancy walked over to Mike. Nancy said, 'Mike, sit down'. Mike asked, 'Is El OK?' Nancy smiled, 'She's fine Mike.' She paused for a moment before continuing, 'Mike, do you know what periods are?' Mike blushed and started to fidget, Nancy took that as a yes, 'Ok, do you know what sort of … problems come with it.' Mike stopped fidgeting and looked straight at Nancy, 'You mean getting slapped by El for teasing her curls?' Nancy burst out laughing, 'She slapped you! HAHAHAHA'. Mike wasn't amused.

Nancy calmed down to continue explaining to Mike. 'Yeah, you are going to have to be careful with what you say around her but what she would really love from you is cuddles and affection, especially right now. She is in pain, but snuggling with her will make her feel much better.'

Mike stood up to leave but Nancy pulled him down again, there was something on her mind. 'Mike, does El know what pregnant is?' Nancy asked. 'Yeah, the Chief and Ms. Byers gave us the talk.' Mike answered. Mike made to got up again, but Nancy stopped him. 'And have you done anything like that? I won't be mad, but I need to know.' Mike paused before answering, 'We haven't had sex, but we have done other stuff.' Mike didn't feel any need to lie to Nancy, if anything she's one of the last people he'd lie to.

'Stay here, I will be back in a second'. Nancy walked upstairs and came back down a few minutes later. She handed Mike a few condoms. Mike stuttered, 'W-why are you g-giving m-me this stuff?' Nancy sighed, 'Eleven is going to be feeling vulnerable and while I don't think you'll do anything she doesn't want to do, these are just in case.' Mike nodded and then surprised Nancy and hugged her. 'Thanks for understanding Nancy, it means a lot'. Mike let go of Nancy and walked back downstairs.

Nancy stared after her little brother, shocked in how much he had changed since that girl entered his life. He had fought against government mad men, creatures from another world, and after hearing what he did to those three boys, it was all to protect El. Nancy smiled at her brother, glad he was finally happy.

Mike walked down to see El huddled up in the fort. Mike walked over and sat beside her. Mike's brow furrowed, should he say something? What should he say? 'Um El, do you want… I mean, are you… um.' El turned her head towards him, she was deciding whether she should punch him or kiss him.

Italics is Mike's thoughts. Normal is El's thoughts.

Mike, you idiot, say something.

Mike, you idiot, do something.

I should probably leave her alone.

I hope he doesn't leave me alone.

UGH. I can't leave her alone. Nancy said she's in pain. Should I rub her back or something?

He's going to leave me alone. I knew I shouldn't have let Nancy tell him. Should I say something?

Ok. I'm just going to have to do it myself.

They both spoke at the same time. 'Do you want a- ', 'Can you give me a- '. They both paused before speaking together again, 'You go first'. They both smiled and burst out laughing. Mike took the initiative and wrapped El up in a hug. He was expecting a slap but instead felt El's arms wrap around him, her curly hair tickled his nose as they lay their heads on each other's shoulders.

El's weight was slowly forcing Mike backwards. He fell back on the cushiony fort and stared up at El, their faces were millimetres away from each other. The close proximity to each other made them notice the details in each other's faces more. El gazed at Mike's freckles dotted around like stars. Mike took in El's dimples, which grew bigger every time she smiled. Their eyes met, Mike's brown eyes staring deeply into El's brown ones. El lowered her face placing her lips on Mike's.

This kiss was unlike any other. It was a kiss that signified the love that Mike and El shared. It was a kiss that represented their trust in each other. It was a kiss that signalled to each other… they were ready.

Mike lifted El from him. She stared down at him, not only in love but in lust… in hunger. Mike thought back to what Nancy said but at that point, he didn't give a shit. He needed El as much as she needed him. But he had to check first. Mike cupped El's face and whispered, 'Are you sure?'

El stared at the boy that she would and has, given her life for. She remembered the consequences that Joyce and Nancy told her about, but at that point, she didn't care. She needed Mike as much as he needed her. El cupped Mike's face and whispered back, 'Fuck yes.'

Well, there we go. Made this a little longer than usual because I'm nice. I don't need to tell you what the next chapter is, but I am sorry to tell you that it won't be uploaded for a while. I mean, something as big as this, you guys need time to recuperate. Maybe next weekend.

PM me for questions and please review. Almost 100 reviews on this story, that's a pretty impressive milestone.

Other than that. BYYYEEE
