Chapter 2

Mike's Pov.

El had been talking to Nancy for a while and just as I was going to go check if everything was ok El came down the stairs. I smiled at her and ushered her over. We were in the middle of a campaign and El had said that she wanted to learn how to play. To be honest with you I am not too sure why she wanted to learn seeing as whenever we have a campaign she gets bored really quickly but stays anyway. I personally don't understand it but who am I to judge. I mean after all if El really wanted to she could end all of us in one second. She could also just flip the bored or leave but she doesn't do any of that.

Once she sat down I turned my attention back to the game at hand.

4 Hours Later

We all made it to the end, the dungeon is beat and everyone is happy. Well almost all of us made it. El ended up getting really bored and before anyone even realised she fell asleep. We only realised when her head fell onto the bored and by then it was too late because just before her head fell Dustin had let go of the dice. And just as her head hit the bored Dustin's dice had stopped. But of course they had to stop right where El's head was headed. And before I even processed what I was doing I reached over and caught her head just in time and knocking Dustin's dice away. Of course that's when she opened her eyes and looked straight at me.

"Mike what's going on?"

"Nothing El. Just didn't want you to hurt your head."

"Why would I hurt my head?"

"Well you fell asleep and your head was going to hit the dice and that would have really hurt so I stopped you."

"Oh. Thank you Mike."

I smiled at her and she lifted her head but not before nuzzling slightly into it. As I drew back my hand I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was the most precious thing in the world to me and there was no way that I could let anything happen to her. I looked her straight in the eyes smiled once more before turning back to the boys.

El's Pov.

As I was leaving all I could think about was how Mike had saved me from hurting. I opened the door expecting to see Hopper there to pick me up but remembered that he was working late. Guess I will have to walk home then. As I started to walk Mike called out to me- "Hey El. Do you want a lift?"

I looked over at him and nodded. He quickly went to go fetch his bike and came over to me with it. He patted the seat and I hopped on.
