Hey! Here is another one-shot! I haven't posted a one-shot in a few days, I've been sick and I've been working on my two other stories, Runaway's and Promise for Life. Go check them out! Anyway, this chapter is just a bunch of happy fluff. Just good old Mileven. Enjoy!

Mike's P.O.V

Leaves crunched under my feet as I walked up to the little cabin in the woods. Everything was silent, except for my loud footsteps. I could feel my heart beating. Hell, I could hear it ringing off in my ears like a gunshot. My hands felt clammy and awkward. My head felt like it was about to explode, as I came up with a million senecio's of things that could go wrong. So far my top four were:

1. She will not want to go

2. Hopper will get in the way

3. It will start to rain

4. We could die of Eggo poisoning

Okay, so the last one may not have been as likely, but I couldn't seem to rule it out. I couldn't seem to get rid of any bad case senecio's that popped into my head. No matter how dumb they were. Well, when you are about to ask the girl you love on a first date, you won't think I'm so crazy.

I walked up to the front porch of the cabin. I gulped. My hands shook slightly as I stepped up on to the first of the three creaky steps. Next step. It creaked louder, making me jump slightly. I didn't understand why I was so jumpy all of a sudden. The last step. The door. You know how people say that you get butterflies in your stomach, when you're nervous. Yeah well, I had full on elephants stampeding from my throat, to the endless pit in my stomach. Why was I so freaked out? It was El. She didn't judge. She liked me. I knew that much. Even though I told myself this, it didn't help much. I was still a nervous wreck.

I lifted my hand. I could knock. If I did, there would be no going back. I could bail. Run home as fast as possible, and crawl into bed. I didn't though. I didn't even give myself another chance to think. My fist hit the door with a soft thud. I knocked. There was no going back now.

The door flew open, almost as quickly as I knocked. El. We stood there staring at each other for a minute, thinking of something to say. I had totally blacked out.

"Hi Mike." She said, her gentle voice pulling me from the crazy thoughts running through my head. I blinked a couple of time.

"Oh. Hi El." I tried to smile back, but it just came out as a goofy grin. She smiled wide. El turned and motioned me to follow. I did so a bit timidly.

"El! How many times do I have to tell you? Have me open the door!" Hopper said closing the bathroom door, a cigarette placed between his lips.

"Who knows, who could-" Hopper stood staring at me. The quick look in his eyes, looked like he was about to skin me alive.

"Oh...It's you." He gruffed. I could tell that Hopper was getting a little bit tired of me. I was always around. And when I wasn't, I was bothering him, trying to get him to let me see her. But before I could think about a nice, almost kiss up thing to say, my fat mouth opened up, and got me shot in the back.

"Oh... It's you too..." El knew enough not to laugh, so she covered her mouth and turned away. Hopper glared at me.

"Alright kid, enough of the attitude. What do you want?" I had been cornered. I could get out of it, by just saying that I wanted to hang out with El. But I made plans. I had ran through them at least a hundred times, making sure they were perfect. I glanced nervously at El. She caught my glance.

"Well..." Hopper glanced between the two of us. With the slightest flick of her head, the stove flicked on. She sniffed the air.

"Stove, on!" El said, pointing to the kitchen. Hopper's eyes widened as he sniffed the air.

"Oh shit!" He ran into the kitchen. I turned to follow, but El grabbed my hand and ran towards the door. I followed at her heels, as she yelled into the house.

"I'm going with Mike! Home by 9-3-0! Bye!" Hopper's head poked out of the kitchen window with a shocked expression.

"Wait! What?! Ugh! Don't be stupid!" Hopper yelled back. I looked at El bewildered. She grinned. And so we ran. We ran through the woods, our ankles scratched up from leaves and twigs, our shoes a muddy mess, and our hands tightly clasped. When we got to the road, El picked up my bike and climbed on. She patted the seat for me to join her. I got on, her arms immediately wrapping around my waist. I felt myself blush as I pushed on the pedals. And so we were off. To the place I had waiting for her.

Once I slowed me bike, El's grip loosened and she stared to get off.

"Whoa. Hold on. It's a surprise El. You have to close your eyes." She cocked her head.

"Sur-surprise?" I mentally kicked myself. I should've known that she wouldn't understand it.

"It's a present. But, you don't know about it. And I have to show you it." She nodded her head in understandment. I grabbed her hand as she squinted her eyes shut. I pulled her to the top of a hill, that had a bench looking over the entire town of Hawkins. The sun was starting to set on the horizon. My backpack was still right where I left it, for tonight. I gulped.

"...Okay, you can open your eyes." She opened them slowly, almost shyly. I watched her face turn from curiosity to pure joy. I loved her expressions. They were soft and meaningful. She was beautiful.

"It's so pretty."

"It's okay?" I asked stepping towards her. She took my hand.

"It's great. Thank you...but why are we here?" I let go of her hand and grabbed my bag. She cocked her head.

"I found it. I thought you might want to be able to see all of Hawkins. I'd thought it'd make you feel-"

"Free." I nodded. She gently put her hand on top of mine.

"Thank you Mike. It's perfect." She smiled at me earnestly and turned her attention to the bag. She opened her mouth to speak, but I spoke for her.

"I brought snacks. You know, in case we got hungry." Her eyes widened as I pulled out a container of Eggos, still warm from the toaster. She sat on the bench waited for me to do the same. A little bit nervously, I sat down next to her and placed the container in her lap. Within a few seconds, she had half an Eggo in her mouth. I chuckled softly.

I leaned back against the bench, and El did the same, grasping my hand tightly. Our fingers interlaced. I looked down at them and smiled. We sat in silence and watch the sun set over the horizon, creating a pathway for the stars to be seen. Slowly El placed her head on my shoulder and sighed contently.

"Mike?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you call this?"

"Call what?"

"Us. Without other friends. Here." I suddenly felt panicked. I mentally kicked myself again. I hadn't actually asked her on a date.

"Well, El. It depends. I never Umm... got the chance earlier... to uh, ask you... outonadate!" I last few words flew out of me so quickly that I didn't think she could understand what I said. Part of me hoped she didn't.

"A date?" I nodded meekly.

"Its uh... when two people like each other, more than friends. One person then asks the other to go a date. A place where the two hang out... alone." She nodded in understanding.

"Is this a date?"

"um... only if you want it to be." She smiled.

"Yes. I like date." My eyes widened with joy. She lifted her head up and looked at me. I could hold it in anymore. I leaned forward, until I kissed her. Suddenly the elephants went away. The cool evening air no longer stung my nose. The noises of cars in the distance long out of range. All I could comprehend was her. And I knew one thing exactly, I loved her.

That's the chapter! Again, I'm sooooo sorry I haven't done much recently. I will finish Promise for Life, within the next week, and Runaway's, within the next three at most. If you have any suggestions for more one-shots, let me know! Tell me what you thought! Until next time,
