Both of them stood there on a beautifully decorated platform. One was wearing a long white dress with lace trim. The other wore a midnight black tux with a matching tie. They were standing there smiling at each other as El marched down the carpet aisle standing next to Mike. El stared ahead as she thought about how unimaginably hot Mike looked in his tux. Holly was in front of them throwing white flowers and marching at an unsteady pace.
Secretly, both of them were imagining their future wedding and how it would be paradise compared to how simple this wedding was. Hop smiled at Eleven as she approached him and her beautiful mother. The Wheelers and Becky were sitting quietly and collectively in the crowd. El spotted Nancy, Jonathan, and the baby who waved at her. She waved back with a sparkle in her eye that told how overly excited and happy El was.
Finally, they reached the stage and Eleven went and stood beside her mom. Mike lifted up the soft, satin pillow that the gorgeous rings rested on. Terry took Hopper's simple wedding band and Hop took Terry's gorgeous diamond ring. El noticed how beautiful the ring was in the light and her eyes lit up.
After, both rings had been taken Mike went and stood next to his gorgeous girlfriend. They both began to say their original vows and tears came to El's eyes. Tears started to run down her beautiful face, so Mike took a tissue from his pocket and wiped her face. He kissed her on the cheek and she placed her head on his shoulder. The vows continued and then came the kiss. El ran up to her now married parents and gave them a big hug. El was unaware of the big changes that were going to be taking place in the next few days.
A week later, Eleven was at the place she had lived for years the Wheeler house. She walked out into the driveway and placed a final bag into Hop's truck. El turned to face Mike who stood there with tears running all down his face and she wiped his face with a tissue. Tears started to come to Eleven's eyes too as she stared at her sad boyfriend. They wouldn't be living together for the first time since he had met El.
El was moving into a small cabin with her parents. El was elated to finally have a normal family life. Years before, El never would have guessed she'd save a boys life, meet the love of her life, make best friends, and eventually meet her biological parents. Her whole life was changing again in both a good way and a sad way. She wouldn't be with Mike as much, but she would be living with her real family. A fantastic dad who always told the best jokes and a sweet mother who loved her dearly. She loved them both so much.
Mike's eyes were read and he was still cry as Eleven kissed him on the cheek. She hopped into the truck and rolled the window down.
"Remember Mike I'm only a walk or bike ride away. We can visit each other as often as you want." El said. Hopper drove off as Mike watched the love of his life leave him.
Three hours later El was about to Hop in the shower when she heard a knock at the door. El opened the door to see Mike standing there with a gift bag. She told Hopper and Terry she was going outside for a minute.
"What are you doing here Mike?" El asked.
Mike replied, "I missed you El. I brought you a house warming gift as an excuse to come see you."
"I missed you too, but why did you want to see me especially now I look disgusting." El stated. She was wearing an old crop top and jeans that were covered in paint. El's hair was up in a sweaty, messy ponytail and there was paint on her cheek.
Mike replied, "You could never look disgusting. You are always beautiful no matter what. I came over to do this." He grabbed her waist and pushed her against the door kissing her as she placed her arms around his neck. She kissed him back and his tongue slipped in her mouth and she mimicked his actions. They kept kissing despite the noise they were making by leaning against the door. Finally, El pulled Mike off of her.
"That was amazing. I'm so happy you came to visit me. I kept thinking about you as I was organizing my room." El said.
"I love you El Jane Ives..or should I say future ." He said and planted a few more kisses on her lips.
"I love you too my prince. I'll see you later." El said. He kissed her again and turned to go, but he turned around to attempt kiss her again. Eleven grabbed his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek.
"Bye Mike. I love you and I'm gonna see you tomorrow at school." El stated. Mike turned around after handing El the gift bag.
El went inside and Terry smiled at her, but Hopper gave her a disapproving look. Eleven turned red, but kept a smile on her face. She went to her room to open the bag. It contained a framed picture of her and Mike, a small vase with purple flowers, and some cookies. El picked a note out of the bag and read it aloud.
"El I love you so much. I miss you already. I just got to remember I'm gonna eventually live with you again at least if you allow me too. Don't ever forget me. By the way my mom helped me make the cookies, so they are edible." El read. She laughed how could she ever forget Mike. El hopped in the shower thinking about how one day it would just be her and Mike living alone. She smiled suggestively to herself thinking about how they would eventually be able to do whatever they want whenever they want. El couldn't wait to see Mike.
