Both Hopper and El starred each other down, unwilling to compromise from their respective positions, Hopper was only concerned at how close the two had gotten over a small span of time, for two fourteen year olds they seemed to be too close for their own good. He was simply concerned but his anger had gotten the best of him and simply made the situation worse.
El refused to back down on this, normally an argument would fizzle out after a few Minutes but this specific argument was over Mike and on this she simply refused to give way against her adoptive father. This was Mike. The one who took her out of the rain.
As to be expected both of them were at each others throat.
"All I'm saying is to tone down the affection!" Hopper shouted, eyes narrowed
"Why?!" she screamed back "Nothing Ever Happens!" Boy did that sound familiar
"Because your too young! Both of you are!" Hopper said slapping his hand down onto a cabinet making its contents rattle.
El scowled at Hopper, too young? She had destroyed a gate to another dimension, killed numerous men but she was too young to be close to Mike? That literally made no sense.
El's nostrils flared dangerously "Bullshit!" she said daringly, Hoppers face contorted slightly at the use of her language, the situation was getting out of hand and fast. Of course Hopper only knew how to fight fire with fire.
"Language! Your grounded" he said simply, she shook her head defiantly "That means No Mike, No Eggos or TV for a week!" he said, doing the usual of throwing the eggo's in the bin and of course taking the aerial from the TV, she glared at him furiously.
"I need him" her tone was beyond bone-chilling, the lights flickered, her emotions were starting to get out of control, blasted teenagers. Hopper looked worriedly at the lights"
"Stop that now" he said turning back to glare at her, damn did he hate being the bad guy as it always seemed in these situations. She shook her head defiantly.
"Very well two weeks!" he said "its for your own good" he added.
"You are just like Brenner!" she screamed at him stomping her foot, the cabin shook slightly as her foot sent a small shockwave through the ground.
Hopper was losing his patience fast "No, I'm not like him" he said quietly but the anger and hurt was laced there.
"No, you're worse" she responded just as quietly turning away from him dejectedly, holy shit did that sting Hopper's heart, couldn't she see that he was just trying to protect her? Hopper knew in the back of his mind that Mike was not like other teens in that he respected Eleven but as his daughter it was his duty regardless to be protective.
His eyes full of hurt turned back to her.
"You can't keep me from him, not again, not ever again" she did something she would later regret, she flicked her head and Hopper flew back into the wall of the cabin, but at the same time, the windows exploded inwards, things fell to the floor and the lights burst in a deadly dance of amber sparks.
Hopper was knocked out from the impact, she strode over to the door and ripped it open with her powers, before taking one last look at Hopper, guilt creeping into her.
"I'm sorry" she said her voice barely a whisper and she strode of the cabin and to find Mike.
Mike lay upon his bed, looking through his chemistry textbook going through the basics of Ionic and Covalent bonds, God he hated chemistry. It was probably his least favourite area in Science, he preferred Physics with biology coming into a happy neutral.
Lucky for him he was nearly done with the book, with most of it making sense. He had to re-read several pages and topics to get the gist of it. He was clever like that despite the fact he despised Chemistry, that was usually Will's area of expertise, Hell even Max had proven to be good at the subject. Mike face would contort in disgust although with humour.
It was good for the party to be back together again
Tap Tap Tap
Mike furrowed his brow, what was that?
Tap Tap Tap
He realised it was his window and was shocked to find El was at his window. He rushed over to open it and was shocked to find her floating in mid-air as she used her powers to defy the force of gravity.
"El!" he whispered in Surprise as he opened the window,
Immediately she climbed through and enveloped him in a fierce hu, she started to shake and he realized she was crying, his hand moved up and down her back soothingly as she shook silently with the tears cascading down her cheeks. He made shushing noises as he tried to calm her down.
She tearfully explained what had happened after he left eh cabin that night and how she lost control and knocked hopper out and came to find him.
"I Missed You" she said simply when he asked why despite the situation Mike found himself with a slight smile.
"I Missed You too" he said honestly, his fingers wiped the tears she had shed and his fingers lightly traced his skin sending jolts of electricity down her skin, she nuzzled into his hand as he did this, enjoying their closeness, the itch that could not be scratched had returned with a vengeance as she felt the it in her lower regions. She ignored it and simply basked in Mike's touch.
"What if he hates me now?" El asked sadly.
"He won't. you two were just upset and it just happened. He'll forgive you" Mike said encouragingly
She smiled sadly up at him.
"He'll kill you first but he'll forgive you" he added at the end with a small smirk, she giggled, some of the tension she had been feeling had been lifted off of her shoulders.
They felt that magnetic pull and their lips joined together, the butterflies in their stomachs fluttered in harmony together, they felt fireworks in their bodies, electricity coursed through them, as if their lips had completed a live circuit.
They pulled away breathless and completely thrown just by how powerful that kiss had felt, he had a dopey smile and hers was bashful, their foreheads touched as they bathed in the afterglow of their kiss. Mike broke the silence first.
"I best get you home" Mike said reluctantly.
El simply sighed and then nodded as they pulled apart.
El floated Mike to the ground before climbing out the window and floating herself down before they walked together into the darkened woods of Hawkins, Indiana.
(A/N) glad I was able to get this out today, where this story is more complicated to plan and write especially with no fan fics that are able to indicate how such a fic might work so I'm having to go on my own initiative, it will get darker than this, I think i might make El start to obsess in a specific way over Mike maybe? Probably sounds like a horrible idea but I need to give motivation for her dark actions that are yet to come.
So my updates maybe a little longer to wait for than usual just because of the complicated nature of this story.
As always guys review! And until next time, peace!
