Now, let's get on with my Mileven oneshot, "Late"

Takes place after the snowball, but El is temporarily living with the Wheelers

Age 14/15

"El, wake up..." Mike said, rubbing her back softly. He and El were laying in El's bed in the basement. His parents didn't know he was down there yet; she had had a nightmare late last night so he had come downstairs to comfort his crying girlfriend.

"Noooo...." El mumbled, burying her face in his chest. Her arms wrapped around his torso and moved closer to him, enjoying his warmth.

Mike couldn't help but grin as he ran his fingers through her curly hair. "I need to go to school... we need to get up..."

"No... don't leave me..." El, mumbled, sitting up slightly. "Please stay Mike..." she pouted.

He hesitated for a minute then sighed. "Sorry El.. I need to get ready for school... I'll come back down before I leave, okay? And I'll bring you some eggos..." A smirk flickered across his lips.

"Eggos?" She asked, her eyes lit up.

Mike nodded and gave her a hug. She rested her head on his shoulder. "I'll be back soon, promise." He pulled away slowly and stood up, placing the blanket over her again before walking upstairs. "I love you." He said softly before closing the basement door.

"I love you too." El whispered before getting up and changing into leggings and one of Mike's hoodies. She ran a comb through her shoulder-length hair and brushed her teeth in the basement bathroom.

Mike knocked on the basement door. "El can i come in?"

"Yes." She replied and sat down on the couch and wrapped her arms around herself.

He walked downstairs with a plate of eggos in his hand and a smile on his face. His dark hair was still messy, and to El, he looked adorable. "Here you go, my princess." Mike bowed and presented the eggos to her.

El giggled. "Thanks Mike." She pulled him onto the couch next to her.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and looked at her outfit. A light blush covered his cheeks. "Are you wearing my hoodie?"

El nodded and smirked. "Is that okay?"

"Of course its okay, El. You just look really cute." His cheeks turned a darker shade of red.

"Thanks..." She pressed her lips against his quickly before eating her eggos.

They cuddled together on the couch until Karen yelled, "MICHAEL, TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!"

Mike sighed and stood up, looking at El who had a frown on her face. "Ill see you later, okay? Ill call you at lunch and I'll be back at 3:30."

"Okay." El wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. His arms fell around her waist and pulled her close. She ran her fingers through his hair as she felt his smile against her lips.

"MICHAEL! TIME TO GO!" Karen screamed from upstairs.

Mike pulled away slightly, leaving his hands on his waist. "I love you. I'll see you later."

"I love you too." El whispered, and fixed his hair. He pecked her lips before pulling away fully and going upstairs.

Mike sighed and began walking outside and to his bike. Meanwhile,El sat down in the basement and and began watching a soap opera while cuddling with the blankets that smelled like Mike.

~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~
5:30PM

"Mrs. Wheeler!" El called upstairs.

"Yes Eleven-, i mean, El?" Karen replied.

"W-when will Mike be back?" Fear started to grow in her voice.

"He should be back soon, dear. Michael is probably at a friend's house or something... I have to run to the store, Ill be back soon."

El didnt reply. She sat on the couch once again and brought her knees to her chest. Mike had never been late before. He hadn't called her at lunch either. Panic began to go through her mind.

What if something bad happened?

What if a monster from the Upside Down got him?

El's breathing began to grow rapid.

What if someone from the lab took him?!

What if he got stuck in the upside down?

Her eyes filled with tears and she rested her forhead on her knees.

What if I lost him?

What if...

What if...

What if...

El jumped up and picked up the phone and slowly began dialing the Byers' phone number.

"Hello?"

"Um, hi, Ms. Byers, I wanted to see if Mike was there?"

"El, you can call me Joyce." She said. "And no, he isn't here, hun. The boys came to our house after school, but I think they were going to Lucas's or Dustin's house."

"O-okay... thanks Joyce..."

Joyce could sense the fear in El's voice. "Sweetie, are you alright?"

"Hm? Oh yes, I'm okay. M-Mike was supposed to be home at 3:30... that's all..." El said quietly and wrapped a blanket around herself.

"Boys are like that sometimes. They forget to do things most of the time. He will probably call you or be back soon. Don't worry, hun, he'll be fine." Joyce said softly, trying to comfort the young girl.

"Thanks Joyce..." El took a deep breath, but worry still lingered in her.

"Of course sweetheart. If you need something, feel free to call me."

"Okay, bye Joyce..." El hung up and layed down on the couch, looking at the clock from across the room.

7:41pm

El tried to listen to what Joyce had said, but fear had overwelmed her. Tears ran down her cheeks as she gazed at the TV with glassy eyes.

El had finally found someone who loved her and cared about her, she could lose him. It would tear her apart if she had to live without Mike, again.

In the last few hours, El had called Dustin's house, Lucas's house and Steve's house multiple times, only to get a voice mail. With each ring, her fear and worry had only increased, leaving her in tears.

Suddenly a loud bang erupted from the main hallway. "El?! Eleven?!"

El jumped up and began to run towards the basement stairs at the same time Mike ran down them.

She threw her arms around him tightly and cried into his shoulder. "Y-you are s-such a Mouthbreather..."

"El, I love you, i'm sorry. I'm right here... don't worry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Mike repeated as he pulled her onto the couch with him, holding her tightly in his embrace. "I forgot to call you at lunch and I forgot to come home right away."

"I-I thought something b-bad happened to you... I w-was scared." El whispered.

"Aw El..." Mike sighed and pulled her closer. "Its my fault. I should have called. I'm sorry for scaring you. I feel awful..." He pressed a kiss against her forhead.

"Never do that me again, you Mouthbreather. Don't scare me like that again." She hit his arm after each word, causing him to chuckle. A small smile flickered across her lips.

"I promise El... I'm right here, don't worry... im not going anywhere." He pressed a kiss against her lips before pulling her into a tight embrace again. "Regardless of what happens, love will find a way back home."

GOD, THOSE FRICKEN MILEVEN FEELS ❤❤
