*Season two, episode 2 spoilers (No spoilers from after episode 2)*
El giggled. Then fell to the couch laughing so hard she thought her lungs were going to explode. Mike was on the couch next to her laughing so loudly it could've shaken the house. Dustin and Lucas were locked in combat rolling around on the floor, whacking each other and arguing. El found it even funnier when she realized what they were fighting over. Halloween costume ideas.
"Okay okay! Guys calm do- Shit!" Mike swore as Dustin kicked him in the shin, trying to throw Lucas off of him. El laughed again. Mike turned back to her and shrugged. Then El smiled. She had an idea. With a flick of her head, the two boys were suspended in the air on opposite sides of the room, struggling to break free of her grip. El didn't move. Even when the tiny ticklish feeling of blood dripped from her nose.
"Hey! El! Let me go!"
"Yeah! Let me at him!" Dustin declared. With another flick of her head the two boys dropped to the ground with a thud. Mike beamed. Lucas grunted as he stood up.
"Come on El! My costume idea was better." She shook her head.
"Yeah! El agrees with me!" Dustin said triumphantly, just to become disappointed as El shook her head again.
"Guys, why don't we let El decide. This is her first Halloween." Mike said glancing back at El. The glance turned into a stare as he went under a trance from her beautiful brown eyes. They showed so much emotion. It always took his breath away.
"Ugh! So predictable! Only wants to here what your girlfriend has to say!" Smack! Mike hit Lucas with a pillow. Hard.
Lucas stumbled backwards. "Oh you did not just-" Smack! Dustin hit Lucas with a pillow. Lucas growled and swore. He whacked Dustin with the same pillow, then grabbed the couch cushions and threw it hard at Mike. He fell to the floor with a harsh thud.
Lucas froze. He turned slowly towards El, who looked like she was ready to tear him the pieces. Suddenly all the cushions and pillows flew up into the air, and in a half a second, covered Lucas. Mike and Dustin broke out laughing. El beamed at the ruckus she caused.
The fight soon ended, as Mrs. Wheeler called everyone to go home. Everyone groaned and complained, but made their way up the stairs anyway. Lucas and Dustin left, but El stayed.
"Hold on El. Hopper will be here soon." She nodded and smiled. It meant more time with Mike. She followed him out the from door and sat on the porch swing. She sat down next to him. There hands quickly interlaced as she settle comfortably at his side. One of his legs hung off and gently brushed the ground, making the creaky old swing sway gently.
"What do you want to be for Halloween? You don't have to listen to them, you know."
"I know... I want to be... ghost." El answered. Ever since hopper had taught her about Halloween, she wanted to be a ghost. She had even scared him with her costume once.
"A ghost? W-we can do that." He looked at her, and tried his hardest not to get lost in those eyes. She smiled. El laid her head on Mikes shoulder. Fifteen minutes later, she was asleep as the headlights from Hoppers truck rolled into the driveway. He got out and closed the door harshly.
He walked up to the front porch, but froze as he saw his girl sleeping so soundly on Mike. He couldn't help but smile a little.
"She tired?"
"Yeah, we came out here to wait for you, and she fell asleep." He nodded. He glanced down, to see there hands still gripping tightly to one another. "Alright then... let's get her home." Gently, Hopper lifted El in his arms and turned to carry her to the car. However, her hand still squeezed Mike's extremely tight, making it hard to get her to let go, without waking her up. Finally they got in the car and drove home.
Halloween Night
El bounced up and down excitedly, as she walked out the door and into the car. Her first Halloween! The drive to Mikes house seemed to take forever, but once they pulled up, El threw open the door and burst through the car and into the house. She ran down to the basement to where everyone else had gathered.
Will was dressed as a zombie, Dustin as a vampire, Max as a witch, Lucas as a skeleton and Mike as a ghost. El smiled twirling in her ghost costume. They were going as classic Halloween characters, and Mike and El were going together. They all joked about there costumes and then headed out the door to hit the streets.
"Ready for your fist house El?" She nodded and smiled, marching right up the first house. She knocked on the door. An older lady opened up. Mike nudged her. "Oh. Trick. Or. Treat." She said. The woman smiled and gave them a few pieces of candy. Her first piece of Halloween candy! She was so excited.
They hit all the houses all over town, before returning to the Wheelers. They went down to the basement and collapsed from sore feet and stomach aches from all the candy. Within an hour, everyone was wrapped up in blankets asleep in their sleeping bags. El sat on the couch next to Mike.
"How was it?"
"Good. Had fun." He smiled.
"Good. I'm glad. I just want you to have a normal year. Where you can be a kid." She nodded.
"Mike. Thank you."
"For what? I didn't do anything."
she shook her head. "You did everything." And with that, she laid her head on his chest, and the two of them fell asleep on the couch, curled up together.
