Chapter 2- Your loved

Mike gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and slowly fell asleep by her side. El never wanted him to leave, and she never planned on letting him."

"Hey guys whats up?," said Mike whilst walking into the Middle school Gym for the dance. "Just waiting for the rest of the party," said Dustin eagerly waiting for Mike, Will, and El to arrive. Max and Lucas were already at the dance with Dustin so they were just waiting for the others. "Will should be on his way."

Once everyone arrived at the dance (apart from El) the party had grabbed a table to sit at. Mike was still waiting for Eleven when a slow song started playing. The rest of the party went off with their dates apart from Dustin and Mike.

"Guess it's just you and me huh?," exclaimed Dustin, trying to make his friend feel better. "I guess Hopper didn't want El to come," said Mike, trying to hold back tears. "Hey man, you still have me!," Dustin stated which earned him a slight grin from Mike. All of the sudden. Mike glanced over to the entrance of the Gym (still waiting for El to arrive...hopefully) when he noticed Chief Hoppers Tan Blazer pull up to the front of the school. immediately Mike sat up straight as he saw El walk though the double Gym doors. His cheeks started to blush when he saw how beautiful she looked in her light blue dress that had a pink ribbon around her waist.

"H-Hi El!,"Mike stuttered trying not to embarrass too much.

"Hi Mike!," El said giggling as he took her into his arms.

"You look...pretty," exclaimed Mike.

"So do you," El Replied.

Mike and El went out onto the floor for a slow dance, leaving Dustin all alone. "Poor Dustin," El said with a sad tone. "Yeah I feel kinda bad for him I guess," stated Mike, not very sympathetically for his friend.

Later on Mike pulled El to the side where they weren't in the middle of all the kids.

"You look...amazing," stated Mike shyly.

El grinned and leaned her head into the crook of his neck while they swayed back and forth. He would never get tired of this he told himself. He missed being with her. In a way, he missed running away together, from the bad men. He missed her living in his basement. He missed her. SO. VERY. MUCH. And he couldn't help it. Who couldn't fall in love with those big brown eyes. God how much he loved her.

"Come with me," El asked Mike dragging him into a nearby hallway.

"Mike?"

"Yes El?"

"What is a Girlfriend?," she asked Mike, Mike had a scared look on his face.

"Well...Uh..when two people...uh...agree to be with one another and uh...you know?...hang out and stuff...and..they like each oth-"

"Mike?," interrupted El trying to stop Mike confused train of thought.

"Yes El?"

"Am I your Girlfriend?," exclaimed El, curious to know his answer, she took a step closer to him.

"Well...um...I guess?," Mike said, choking on his own words.

El grinned and giggled a little bit at his answer.

"And I'm your Boyfrie-?," Mike asked El.

"Yes!," she said quickly, whilst cutting Mike off.

Mike and El smiled at one another before kissing each other for longer than they did in the Gym. Longer than they did in the Cafeteria last year. Longer than they did ever.

"I love you Mike," El said, which through Mike off balance.

"I...uh...I love you too El," Mike said stumbling at his words.

Mike and El went back into the Gym and met up with the rest of the party until it was time to go home.

2 Hours Later

Mike's House

"My moms on her way to pick me up," Dustin told Karen (Mike's mother)

"So is my mom," exclaimed Will.

Lucas had biked Max home from the dance, which left just Mike and El, alone.

"Hopper won't be getting you for another hour, would you like to take a walk?," Mike asked El, wanting to spend more time with her, since he lost so much time over the past year.

"Okay," El said, with a little bit of tiredness in her voice.

"Did you have fun tonight?," Mike asked while not taking his eyes of El while she stared at the stars.

El loved stars. They reminded her of Mikes freckles. She loved everything about Mike. He loved everything about her. Oh how he wished he can spend every waking hour of the day with her. Her short hair that just made it down to her shoulders. Her brown eyes that reminded him of chocolate chips. Then he thought of the first time he met her. Standing alone on Mirkwood. Rain pouring down her gorgeous face. She looked amazing in the Daylight. Gorgeous in the Moonlight. But the rain made her features glisten. It was like she was an angel, fallen from Heaven.

"Do you want to head back now?"

"Yes," she replied to Mike

"Did you hear from Hopper about when you can go to school yet?," Mike asked timidly.

"The doctor man said about another year...," El replied sadly.

This made Mike furious. Why did those men keep her locked up for so long and didn't even teach her basic things a person needs to know?!

"Thats not fair!," Mike yelled angrily.

El flinched when he yelled, making Mike apologise profusely.

"I'm sorry for yelling El, it just makes me mad to think that those men never taught you basic things that a person needs to know."

"I know," El said, looking down at her shoes.

"El I didn't mean that in a bad way, your the smartest person I know."

"Thank you," said El, grinning up at Mike.

They got back to Mikes house and went back into the basement to relax. Mike sat down on the couch and ushered El over to sit with him. They cuddled together real close. El tucked her head into the crook of his neck and held his hand firmly, never letting go. Mike drew lazy circles on the back of her hand with his thumb (he kew she liked that) and he rested his head on top of hers. He loved her, with all his heart. And she loved him, with all of hers. They are perfect for one another.

"El?," Mike asked.

"Yes?"

"Please don't ever get tired of this."

"Tired of what?," she questioned.

"Tired of me, tired of cuddling, tired of kissing and hugging. Please don't get tired of me.," he said to her.

"Mike Wheeler, I. Love. You. I will never get tired of your kisses and hugs, or your cuddles and I will NEVER, get tired of you."

Her answer made him smile big, a single tear fell from his eye. He had always been a nerd and never had someone to love or be loved by until now. El had noticed him crying and asked if he was okay.

"I am now.," he replied, as he heard Hopper pull into his driveway.

"See you later...Girlfriend!," he said with a chuckle.

"See you later...Boyfriend!," she said with a smile.

He loved her. And she loved him. and NOTHING could EVER change that.
