El tapped her pencil against her paper, reading it over and over even though she knew she'll never understand it unless she got help; Help from Mike to be exact. Mike is her science nerd, and this was a science paper, the numbers and words like 'photosynthesis' confusing her.

So El invited Mike over to help her "study." In reality, she wanted nothing to do with this science paper, instead wanting to just be near Mike and hold him close. This was her excuse to invite Mike over.

She bit the end of her pencil and blushed thinking about him, flopping her back onto the bed and giggling about him. She just wanted to pinch those cute freckled cheeks and kiss him over and over-

As if her daydream came true, she heard a tap against her window. She squealed excitingly and ran up to her window to open it, bouncing up and down as she grabbed Mike's hands to pull him in.

"Hey," Mike chuckled, seeing her bounce on her tippy toes and clap her hands together.
"I missed you," El engulfed him with a big, tight hug, putting her ear up against his chest to hear his heartbeat.
"I missed you too, even if I saw you yesterday," Mike held her back, both swaying a little until they finally let go.

Mike walked over to her bed and picked up the science paper she was working on.
"So you need help on this?" Mike asked.

El frowned a little, 'oh right; that.'

"Urm... yeah," she nodded her head just slightly, sitting down next to Mike.
She rested her chin on his shoulder as he started talking, not bothering Mike.
"So the first question... what does photosynthesis do; do you know what that word means?" He asked, only to then feel the soft touch of her fingers against his cheeks.

El was counting his freckles, poking the little dots that looked like stars. Mike's face went red and he stumbled on his words before he got anything out.
"El," Mike lowered her hands, "You should focus."

El frowned but nodded, going back to her original position but a bit closer to his neck now.
"Err... so photosynthesis is when the plants, um- use the s-sunlight t-to..." Mike found it hard to focus when her warm, steady breaths bounced off his neck, El giving him tiny soft pecks on the cheek.

"E-El... Wh-what are you doing?"
"Mmm..." She smiled into Mike's shoulder, "I love you."

Mike's face burned red and he resisted the urge to kiss her, her adorable face and pouty lips dragging him in, but he knew that she needed to get these worksheets done so she couldn't eventually go to school with them. Kissing wouldn't help.

"E-El... I need to help you with this..."
El rubbed her hands up and down his arm, whining into his ear, looking up at him with those puppy dog eyes that always made his heart explode.

El smiled and wrapped her arms around his warm body, snuggling against him.
"I wuv you," her voice was mumbled from her mouth against his shoulder.

This girl can really make him feel like he's falling in love over and over again.
"I love you too El, but-"
"Kissies," El brought her head up to make eye contact with Mike, "I want kiss," she pouted.

Mike inhaled and clutched his hands in fists to remain in control, he has to be a good boyfriend, he has to make sure she does well on her work and help her through this.

"El..."
El tugged his arm, "I don't want to work, I want to kiss." She said bluntly.
Mike cracked a smile, "You never invited me over to study, did you?" He teased a little.

El sighed in relief as he finally got the message, shaking her head at how much of a dork he was.
"I'll just get Hopper to help me later," she said, "I just missed you," she admitted.

"Fucking hell," Mike gave in and kissed her instantly, both smiling into the kiss which made it a bit sloppy but they didn't care.

El wrapped her arms around his neck and Mike placed his hands on her hips, their lips moving against each other in a rhythm. Mike was panicking inside because they've only gone as far as pecks, so this was exciting.

The kiss eventually broke when El started giggling against his lips, that laugh so darn contagious that Mike couldn't help but to laugh too, both chuckling and giggling against each other's mouths, sometimes interrupted by a peck every few seconds.

Mike brought his lips to other parts of her face, kissing anywhere he could, her nose, forehead, cheeks, even her damn chin.
"I love you," Mike mumbled against her cheek and gave her another peck on her lips.

"I love you more," El said, and Mike brought his head up to give her a playful look.
"That's impossible, I love you more," Mike argued, raising his eyebrow.
El shook her head, "No I do."

Mike began tickling her sides which made her burst out laughing, her back falling against the bed, with Mike soon following by her side.
"S-St-top!" El laughed, and Mike obeyed, now knowing her weakness.

"I still love you more though," El grinned.
Mike rolled his eyes playfully, "Do you want me to tickle you again?"
El giggled, "No."
"That's right, so I love you more."

El threw a pillow at him, careful not to hurt him.

This playful argument lasted for an hour before Hopper kicked Mike out tired of hearing them.
