Alright, this will probably the last chapter for a few days. I'm going to my parents tomorrow and then I have the early shift at work next week, which means I will be brain dead after working long hours after having to get up before dawn. Writing will be either impossible or it would severely hamper the quality standard I set for myself.
353days: What's the hotel thing supposed to mean?
Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and I write for my own pleasure and that of the readers.
El slowly opened her eyes, taking a deep breath and smelling the masculine scent of the man she loved. She smiled widely as she ran her hand over his stomach, gingerly and gently touching the developing muscles there, feeling their hardness, an action rewarded with a moan he gave in his sleep.
She could barely believe how fast their relationship had progressed over those last few days. It's as if they both agreed to catch up for all the time they were apart, first after their breakup and then after she had moved away. Last night, El had again taken the lead, grinding on top of him, which had clearly quickly become a favorite activity for Mike for the visual it gave him, but this time, she hadn't bothered to put her shirt back on, simply cuddling against his chest wearing just her tight pajama bottoms, which inadvertently had given him a lot of trouble falling asleep, given how his hand kept moving against her skin. Now, as she gently caressed his body, she noticed a presence in the room and she turned her head to find a smirking Max standing at the foot of the bed.
"Max?" El asked, wondering if she was dreaming or hallucinating.
"Yeah, lover girl." Max nodded.
"El?" a very sleepy Mike mumbled, his eyes not even opening but his hand beginning to roam over her chest, which luckily was hidden by the covers.
"Uh...Mike?" El gently shook him.
"Want to be on top again?" Mike breathed, his eyes still closed and the way his raspy morning voice was tingling something in her almost making her simply do it and to hell with Max.
"Mike, we're not alone." El hissed in panic when his hand moved down until it rested between her legs. "Max is here!"
"She can wait until we're done." Mike mumbled again and began moving his fingers before his eyes opened wide in panic. "WHAT?"
"Hey guys." Max gave a shit-eating grin when Mike's head finally turned.
"Jesus, Max!" Mike cursed and quickly pulled his hand away.
"I'm guessing you're looking for this?" Max kept smirking, holding El's oversized night shirt when El was moving her head left and right.
"Give me that!" El hissed and grabbed it, putting it on under the covers. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you." Max said. "It's important."
"So important that it couldn't have waited until later?" El asked, dropping the covers, now that she was clothed again.
"Mike, get out." Max ordered and watched Mike climb out of the bed after El nodded to him, seeing his naked torso for the first time since he took up swimming. "Jeez, can you make Lucas take up swimming too? You look awesome."
"Thanks." Mike mumbled as he grabbed a shirt before turned towards the door. "I'll be in the bathroom"
"You're lucky I can't control my powers." El huffed. "I would have flung you through the wall."
"El, last night, I overheard you two when I left the bathroom." Max opened. "You're not quiet."
"Oh god." El blushed.
"I have to ask." Max said seriously, sitting down on the bed. "Are you two having sex already?"
"What?" El shrieked with a whispering voice. "No! Well..."
"Well?" Max looked with wide eyes.
"He's not putting his... penis into my vagina." El clarified, blushing. "All he does is use his fingers or I sit on him and feel his erection against me through our clothes."
"El, you need to be careful, this can lead to something much more pretty quickly." Max said. "Does he get to his own climax too?"
"I don't think so." El shook her head. "According to the magazines, it should spit out stuff but he never did."
"Oh, that poor man." Max chuckled. "El, how far have you come with those magazines?"
"I know about orgasms and how to get them." El replied.
"Have you read anything regarding the male orgasm?"
"No..." El hesitated, trying to remember but failing to.
"Have you even seen Mike's penis yet?"
"No." El sighed.
"Listen, I know that Mike is deeply in love with you and would never hurt you but he's also a teenager and my guess is, given your activities, a pretty horny one." Max said. "So unless he's right now sitting in the bathroom jacking off, he might one night or morning be unable to control himself and go farther than you're ready for."
"What are you saying Max?" El wanted to know, not liking where this was going.
"Listen, Mike is doing things to make you climax, right?" Max asked. "Or lets you do things with him that make you climax?"
"Yes." El nodded.
"Don't you think it's unfair that you don't do things to make him come as well?" Max looked at her expectantly.
"I don't know how." El sniffed. "I want him to feel as good as he makes me feel but I touched him down there once and I hurt him."
"Oh... uh... what exactly did you do?" Max gasped. "Did you squeeze his thing?"
"No, I poked it when it wasn't getting hard anymore after mom came in." El explained.
"Oh dear." Max laughed.
"Max, it's not funny!" El hissed. "He told me that it's very easy to take down a guy by kicking down there, which means it's very sensitive."
"Okay, listen." Max still chuckled. "Don't poke or hit or squeeze his penis and especially not his testicles. Gently take it in your hand and rub. That's what I do for Lucas."
"You're doing this with Lucas already?" El gasped.
"Sure." Max shrugged. "I mean, we have the advantage of being able to see each other every day, so we began experimenting."
"What did you do so far?" El wanted to know.
"Apart from the touching of our intimate parts?" Max smiled. "I made him come with my hands."
"How?"
"You take it into your hands and stroke up and down." Max explained. "The tip is very sensitive."
"For how long?"
"Until he comes." Max told her. "You'll know when that happens because guys tend to get very agitated and then they ejaculate. It's a sticky mass, so you may wanna have some tissues ready."
"So you haven't had sex yet with Lucas?"
"God, no." Max shook her head. "We're too young. While there are girls who start at fourteen even, I think nobody should do it before they're sixteen."
"I could ask Nancy about it." El suggested. "Max, can I ask you a rather intimate question?"
"Aren't we talking about intimate things now anyway?" Max smirked. "What's up?"
"Do you have hair... down there?" El pointed between her legs.
"Yeah, why?" Max hesitated.
"Because of this." El said and dug a magazine out from under her bed, opening it to a certain page and handing it to her friend.
"Wow, I never thought people would shave down there." Max gasped. "Why would anyone do this?"
"According to this, it's more hygienic because fluids don't get stuck there and apparently, a lot of men like it." El shrugged.
"Wait, fluids getting stuck in there?" Max made a face and read the article. "I'll be damned. Are you thinking of doing this?"
"I really have no idea." El shrugged.
"El, let me ask you and please be honest." Max took her hands. "Do you want to have sex with Mike?"
"Yes." El nodded. "Very much so."
"Good, you're sure." Max recognized the certainty in her friend's voice. "But you still should wait at least another year."
"That long?" El sighed.
"Hey, just think about it." Max grinned. "It would be the greatest Christmas slash birthday gift for him when you tell him that you want to give him your virginity. And you wouldn't even have to pay money for it."
"That sounds... appealing." El agreed, grinning too.
"Just think about it." Max said. "Oh, and by the way."
"What?"
"When Lucas' penis is at its largest size, it's about this." Max winked, holding her fingers apart a certain distance. "If you do something with Mike's, tell me if Mike comes close before we leave."
"You're unbelievable." El laughed as Max left the room.
"All yours again, lover boy." she heard Max say before Mike returned.
"So, what was so important that I had to leave?" Mike wanted to know as he got back into bed, his breath now fresh.
"Girl talk." El shrugged and got up herself to use the bathroom.
Once she was done in there, she used the time until breakfast to snuggle with her sweetie.
"Jesus!" Dustin cursed, throwing up his arms in defeat before burying his face in his hands. "I can't make the rent."
"I'll take everything you have." El giggled, holding out her hands. "And you go directly to the poor house."
"You know, for a girl who didn't go to school for the first fourteen years of her life, you play a mean game of Monopoly." Lucas commented. "Mike, what do you think? Doesn't El play awesome?"
"I'm not speaking to her right now." Mike moped.
"Never thought you were such a sore loser." El giggled and stood up to get behind Mike and drop a kiss on his cheeks.
"I'm really not." Mike huffed. "But you destroyed me."
"Guess you never lost before going around the board twice." Max smirked.
"It's freaky." Mike complained. "As if she controlled my dice so I always land on her properties and never on mine. If I didn't know she couldn't use her powers that way currently, I'd suspect her of cheating."
"You're lucky that I love you that much, otherwise I would be very displeased at your lack of trust." El poked out her tongue at him and leaned her head in.
"Yeah, yeah." Mike smirked and pursed his lips when El gave him the kiss she wanted to have.
"Guys, you're gonna finish soon?" Joyce asked as she came into the room. "I ordered the table for six o'clock."
"I think we can forfeit the game anyway." Lucas huffed, looking at the large pile of game cash in front of El. "She's cleaning us out left and right."
They left the house and got into the two cars before Joyce drove off, leading the way while Jonathan followed her in his car. After a twenty minute drive, they arrived at the pizzeria, the large All You Can Eat sign in the window denoting tonight's culinary destination. Joyce led them to the large table she had reserved for them, grabbing a few menus for the kids to choose their meals from.
"Oh my, I'll get the largest pizza they gave with every available topping." Dustin salivated.
"Ew!" Max made a disgusted face. "There's toppings you can't combine."
"I'm gonna order the smallest pizzas they have." Mike smiled.
"Why?" Lucas asked. "This is all you can eat, gorge yourself."
"Because then I can have a variety of different pizzas." Mike shrugged. "Not just one big one, but I can try calzone, margherita and so on."
"Dude, we're in Chicago, we have to eat a Chicago-style pizza." Nancy pointed out.
"Who says I'm not going to eat one of those?" Mike smiled.
"Mike, can we share?" El asked.
"Of course." Mike nodded, pressing a kiss to her lips.
"Dude, that's just wrong." Dustin shook his head.
"What is?" Mike wondered.
"Sharing your food?"
"What's so wrong about that?" El asked.
"It just is." Dusting threw his arms up in surrender.
"Don't listen to him." Mike chuckled. "Dustin doesn't like to share food."
"I think he gets it from his mom." Lucas grinned.
"Shut up!" Dustin huffed.
"You guys ready to order?" one of the guys working in the parlor came over.
The group gave their order, Dustin keeping his promise of ordering the largest pizza possible while Max and Lucas mirrored what El and Mike had planned. Will ordered a small one for himself as well to try more later, Nancy and Jonathan not even ordering a pizza but something else and Joyce opting for the Mix-it-yourself salad.
"So, this is the last night." Lucas said, a bit morose.
"Yeah." El nodded sadly, wrapping her arm around Mike's waist. "I can't believe how fast the time went by."
"You'll be seeing each other soon enough again." Max pointed out. "And then you'll possibly be glad that you can go back home."
"I don't think so." El shook her head.
"If I could, I'd want to live with her." Mike stated.
"Really?" El gasped, getting teary.
"Of course." Mike nodded. "I love you and want to be with you forever."
"Forever." she smiled lovingly at him, wrapping her fingers around his.
"If you guys start making out in here now, we're going to disavow you as friends." Will grinned.
"Guys, I think our orders are coming." Joyce pointed at the two waiters approaching them, one carrying a large wooden last.
"For the love of all that's good and holy!" Dustin gaped when the waiter put the large slat in front of him. "I never thought a pizza could be this big."
"Bon appetit." Mike grinned, taking a slice of his small one, El taking another. "Dustin, if you finish this, I'll get you a date with Jennifer Hayes."
"Are you bullshitting me now?" Dustin looked at him with wide eyes.
"No, I work with her, remember?" Mike smiled. "We got talking one day and she admitted that she kinda likes you."
"Okay." Dustin closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. "Be water my friend. A true martial stomach doesn't become tense, but ready. When the pizza comes, the stomach expands."
"Dude, what other Bruce Lee quotes will you mangle before you take your first bite?" Mike laughed.
"Hey, I want that date, so I need to clear my mind." Dustin waved him off and bit into the first slice of his thick pizza.
As the group ate their food, with Joyce returning with a large plate of salad that included lots of everything that wasn't spicy, Dustin bravely ate his culinary challenge. Jonathan and Nancy ordered another bowl of food, the first having been a chili stew while El and Mike shared their second pizza with Lucas and Max still on their first and Will slowly eating his while watching his friend fighting with his order.
"You okay there, Dustin?" Will grinned, now on the last slice of his second pizza while El and Mike had their fourth already and Max and Lucas were digging into their Chicago-style pizza.
"There are no limits. There are only plateaus but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." Dustin mantra'd, eating the last bite of his current slice, his pizza now half finished.
"At least he didn't butcher that quote." Lucas shrugged and kept eating his.
At last, El and Mike ordered their Chicago-style pizza, receiving a large mass that looked like a pie with meat. Mike cut it like a cake and lifted the first slice out of it, handing it to El who bit a piece off, nodding her approval. Knowing that they couldn't finish it alone after eating four pizzas already, Mike offered a piece to Will and one to Joyce, both taking one.
"You must have complete determination." Dustin tried to keep his cool as he breathed hard while holding the last slice, sweat pouring from his brow. "A real fighter may be beaten up but it will not stop him from carrying out his objective."
"Dude, what are you doing?" Lucas laughed. "What objective?"
"Date with Jennifer Hayes." Dustin groaned and bit a large piece off the slice, taking his time chewing.
The others finished their food before Dustin bit off the next piece, their friend chewing what felt like five hundred times. El could see that he looked as if he was ready to throwing up yet Dustin kept eating, pushing the last piece into his mouth and chewing it quickly before swallowing it and bending over, holding his stomach and desperately trying to keep it in.
"I'm... free... on... most... Saturdays." Dustin said, taking a breath after each word as if voicing it was a chore.
"Noted." Mike chuckled.
"I think we'll have to sit here a while longer." Joyce smirked. "If Dustin gets up now, he'll surely hurl."
"Was everything to your liking?" the waiter asked, arriving at their table to gather their plates.
"Yes." Dustin squeaked. "Was delicious."
"It was." El nodded but kept looking at her friend to see if he was alright.
It took Dustin ten more minutes before he managed to sit up again, the pinching in his stomach down to a bearable level. As Joyce paid, he quickly left the parlor, sucking in deep breaths to calm his roiling stomach. The others weren't that much better off, everyone holding their stomachs, feeling the massive amount of food pushing against their stomach walls and making them burp, taking their every ounce of strength not to bring more than air up when doing it.
"You guys ready to get back?" Joyce smiled, feeling well since she only ate a gigantic salad.
"Give us a minute." El groaned. "Mike, I hate you."
"Why?"
"You made me eat five pizzas."
"It's not like you ate five whole pizzas, I may even have eaten more than you."
"Yeah, but you're probably turning all that food into another inch of height, so you're clear." she said and was unable to stop herself from letting out a long burp deep from her stomach.
"Who let the Elk escape." Lucas laughed.
"Shut up." El moped.
"Guys, I'm really sorry." Dustin groaned.
"For what?" Max wondered but Dustin simply walked five steps away from them into the downwind direction before he let out a very long fart.
"Ew, Dustin!" Max whined, everyone taking another step away from him.
"I'm sorry that my stomach is trying to digest this morass of pizza toppings, cheese and coke." Dustin called from his spot. "Would you rather I do this in the car?"
"No!" Nancy and Jonathan said together.
"Or later in bed?"
"No!" Will shouted in panic. "Dude, if I smell even the remotest smell of whatever it is you're baking in there, you'll sleep in the bathtub."
"Duly noted." Joyce laughed. "Can we go home now? You guys need to get to the train station tomorrow morning."
With heavy steps, the group got back to the cars and into them. Jonathan took care to drive as slow as he could and avoid pot holes to prevent Dustin from ejecting more foul swamp gas from his butt but at some point, the group piled into the Byers home again. And once everyone had showered, they all simply fell into bed.
And for the first time since he got here, El couldn't bring herself to either mount him or ask him to get her another orgasm with his hands. She simply dropped into bed and lay awake, her stomach murmuring and gurgling, Mike pretty much the same. To her annoyance though, he fell asleep after half an hour, leaving her to simply watch him sleep while she tried to digest all that food.
And she would lie if it didn't look as if Mike was growing another inch in front of her eyes.
"Nancy, can I ask you something?" El took Mike's sister to the side while the boys packed their things together.
"Sure." Nancy nodded and followed El into Jonathan's bedroom, closing the door behind them. "What's up?"
"How old were you when you lost your virginity?" El asked straight away, Nancy almost choking on her own breath.
"Uh... well... I was sixteen." Nancy hesitated, guessing were this was going. "And before you say anything else, you should know that you shouldn't do it any time before that."
"Who did you do it with?" El wanted to know. "Jonathan?"
"No, it... it was Steve actually." Nancy chuckled sadly.
"Do you regret it?"
"No." Nancy shook her head. "Steve was always nice to me and his subsequent behavior showed me that he's still a good guy. Though he wasn't the right guy. I like him but I don't love him."
"I love Mike." El stated resolutely. "With all my heart."
"And I know he loves you even more if that's possible." Nancy smiled. "I mean, he took up swimming and became so good in just eight weeks that he was able to take a job as a lifeguard, just so he can earn some money for those times you come visit or he comes here."
"Doesn't that mean if we both want to have sex, that we could?" El asked.
"Yes, but again, you're teenagers. And just from a legal point of view, the age of consent in Indiana is sixteen and I think here in Illinois it's seventeen, so you should wait until that time just to be safe from the danger of someone outing you out to the authorities." Nancy counseled.
"Someone would do that?" El gasped.
"You have heard from the others that girls are starting to take notice when it comes to Mike, right?" Nancy asked.
"Yes." El nodded, clenching her teeth at the thought.
"Imagine one of those girls being spiteful enough to say that if she can't get him, you shouldn't have him either. If you both go to jail..." Nancy left the argument open-ended.
"I understand." El agreed. "Okay, then I guess we'll have to keep to the other stuff Max and those magazines taught me."
"Ew!" Nancy made a face. "No more information please, I'd like to sleep without nightmares."
"You're doing the nasty with Jonathan already, why would me and Mike doing something less serious cause you nightmares?"
"Because Mike is my little brother and he'll always will be." Nancy laughed. "Come on, lets go. We need to get to the train station."
"Alright." El said sadly, knowing that the time had come, no matter how much she wished that the weekend would never end.
She helped Mike carry his luggage, holding a second, smaller bag that were filled with the clothes he bought during his stay here. They both got into the backseat of Jonathan's car so they could cuddle, even though he felt quite uncomfortable with his long legs stuffed into the small space between the backseat and the passenger seat in front of him.
Nancy was sitting in front, the other three were being driven by Joyce in her car. El laid her head on his legs, Mike gently caressing her face and she tried not to cry at the thought of him leaving. The drive to the train station was over way too fast and the group piled out of the cars, carrying their luggage to the correct track where the train was already waiting.
"I don't want you to go." El sniffed, hugging Mike fiercely.
"I don't want to leave." Mike sighed, holding her tight.
"But you have to." she knew.
"Four more weeks and we'll have two weeks for each other." Mike told her and after taking her face into his palms, gave her a gentle kiss.
Not to be denied, she pressed her mouth on his, invading his mouth with her tongue and she could care less about the snickering and groaning from their friends. Mike managed to avoid resting his hands on her butt, knowing that it go too far while being in the open, especially with Joyce standing close by. He knew that she probably wouldn't react like Hopper had but he didn't want to risk it.
"Last boarding call!" the train attendant shouted.
With a heavy heart, she let Mike go, watching him climb into the train car, his head immediately sticking out the window. He leaned down as far as he could to give El a last kiss before the attendant blew into his whistle after which train began moving.
"I left something for you in your room." Mike shouted as the distance between them grew.
"And I left something for you in your bag!" she shouted back, running past him. "Don't open it until you're in your room!"
"Will do!" she barely heard, the distance between them now far and a few seconds later, his head was nothing but a dot in the distance.
With a heavy sigh, and wiping a tear from her eye, she got into Joyce's car this time, Will driving with Jonathan. Joyce could feel her distress and decided to remain quiet, only putting her hand on El's leg as a sign of sympathy. Once they were home, El returned to her room to see what Mike had left for her and she gave an emotional chuckle, seeing the three shirts, two button-down and one regular.
Holding one to her nose and taking a deep breath, she decided to postpone the Leia costume for another year. If she dressed up like his fantasy figure, she'd want it to lead to more than just over the clothes action. But given what Max had told her, she also thought about learning more about what to do with either clothes on or being naked but without doing actual intercourse. She grabbed the book Max had gotten her the day before and opened it on a page Max had highlighted for her.
"Hmmm." she hummed as she read the article and looked at the accompanying pictures. "Blowjob."
Well, what do you think? ^^
Review please :)
