No, I'm serious.
Don't ask...
(Age 14/15)

"Mike, kiss me please?"

"What- kiss you?"

El nods and brushes one of her curls back. Mike can't help but look at her gorgeous hair, her fingers which were now intertwined with his and her lips. Mike wants to kiss her so badly, but isn't sure if he should.

"Please?" El asks, her chocolate eyes meeting his.

Mike nods and gently presses his lips against her, making sparks run through his stomach. El smiles against his lips and slowly brings one hand up to his cheek. Mike can't help but smile also as-

"Earth to Mike!" Dustin shouted, and waved a hand in front of Mike's face.

"Huh?" Mike blinked and glanced at Dustin, a confused look on his face.

"You were daydreaming again." Lucas stated, looking around the now empty classroom.

"Oh." That was all Mike could say as he glanced around the room. "What did I miss?"

"The school bell just rang," Lucas said. "We have page 17 for homework in our textbooks."

"No, I swear the teacher said page 353." Dustin spoke up.

"Nope, page 17. Its page 17, I bet you 10 bucks." Lucas sighed.

"Deal."

Mike rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Let's get going. We should go find Will and Max."

Mike had started to daydream more, if it wasn't obvious. Ever since El had come home and after the Snowball, Mike's daydreaming had increased. His daydreams were constantly about El and his huge (and obvious) crush on her. Mike rarely saw her anymore; Hopper insisted on keeping El in the cabin for a year. It had been 9 months and Mike was suffering, again.

El and Mike talked sometimes on their supercoms when they couldn't see each other and were allowed to hang out together once a week. But that was no where near enough for Mike; he wanted her fully in his life. And knowing that he couldn't fully have her in his life at the moment made everything harder.

Her lips slowly connect with his, one of her hands gently landing on his shoulder. Mike smiles and places a hand on her lower back, pulling her closer to him. He hears El sigh contently as she melts into the kiss, not daring to pull away once.

Mike was intoxicated by the feeling of her soft lips on his and her gentle touch. His arms slowly wrap around her waist, pulling her body closer to his. El mimics his motions, slowly wrapping her arms around his neck, their lips never breaking apart once.

Breaking the silence, El mumbles softly, "He's going to be home soon."

"It's okay." Mike says simply, knowing that she means Hopper will be home soon.

Mike strangely feels no fear of being caught by Hopper as he gently reconnects his lips with El's again, the feeling too intoxicating, making him never want to stop. El quickly obliges, smiling against his lips as he draws her closer to him and-

"Fuck!"

"Language, Michael."

Mike rubbed his forehead and stared at the doorframe coldly, sighing as he realized he had been daydreaming about El again. He could almost imagine the feeling of El's lips on his, instantly making him smile and forget about the fact that he had just walked into the doorframe.

Nancy walked past him, smirking at her brother, "Nice job."

Mike stuck his tongue out at Nancy in reply and went down into the basement, hand pressed against his forehead. El was the only thing on his mind and he desperately wanted to talk to her. He sat down on the couch and let his eyes close,  his mind beginning to wander off. He could almost imagine her soft, gentle voice next to him.

"Mike?"

"Mike are you there?"

Mike blinked and opened his eyes, glancing down at the  supercom which laid next to him on the couch. Mike was hearing El's voice after all.

"Hi El, how are you?" Mike asked, instantly grinning.

"I'm good. I miss you." El replied softly. Mike could almost imagine the way her eyes sparkled and the way her soft curls would fall around her face.

"I miss you too." Mike laid down on the couch, "I can't wait to kiss you- I mean see you!" He mentally swore for the slip up, his cheeks bright red.

"I can't wait to see you either. A few more days."

"Y-yeah a few more days." Mike grinned, running his fingers through his dark hair.

There was silence for a minute before El said, "I have to go. I'll see you in a few days, Mike."

"Okay I'll kiss you soon- I mean, see you soon!" Mike mentally cursed himself again and rubbed his eyes, "Bye!"

He switched off the supercom and groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Twice, Mike. Two slip-ups. Seriously!" He mumbled to himself, "She's not yours!"

Yet.

"Lucas, it's your turn." Mike heard Will say.

Mike was barely paying attention to the game of Monopoly that was being played in his basement. He hadn't slept much the night before due to somewhat realistic dreams about a certain girl with dark eyes and dark curls and telekinetic powers.

Mike glanced up and watched as the dice rolled to a stop. And five and a six. Eleven.

"Mike don't leave me," El pleads, her mesmerizing eyes watching him carefully.

Mike can't help but give into her pleads and climb back onto the bed,immediately wrapping his arms around El. Her head falls onto his chest and she snuggles into him, enjoying his warmth and the soothing beating of his heart. Mike instantly grins, holding the girl he loves closer to his chest.

"Hopper is going to be home soon, El." Mike mumbles into her curls, pressing a kiss to her head.

"I know," El replies simply, her voice slightly slurring. Mike looks down at her and smiles wider as he notices that she is falling asleep. "Mmm you're warm."

Mike chuckles and kisses her curls again, "I love you El."

"I love you t-

-twelve!" Dustin shouted happily, moving his silver piece across the board.

Mike blinked and glanced around at everyone. "And Wheeler was daydreaming again." Max sighed, glancing over at him.

"Jeez, who are you even daydreaming about Mike?" Dustin asked, placing the dice in Mike's palm.

"I'm not daydreaming about anyone," Mike replied, letting the dice drop onto the board. A five and a six. Eleven.

Lucas looked down at the dice and gasped in realization, "You're thinking about El, aren't you?!"

"What? No I'm not." Mike lied, rolling his eyes at Lucas.

"Liar!" Dustin laughed, "You and El danced together and kissed at the Snowball."

"That doesn't mean I'm daydreaming about her." Mike replied, hoping that his cheeks weren't red.

Max glanced back at the stairs, "Oh hey El."

"El?!" Mike nearly jumped out of his seat and looks back at the stairs which remained empty, sending the party into a fit of laughter. "Fuck I hate you guys."

"Mike and El sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-" Max and Will started to sing until Mike threw one of the dice at them each.

"Awwww it looks like Mikey has a little crush." Lucas teased, a grin on his face.

"And it looks like you have one on MadMax," Mike shot back, his cheeks red, "Let's not bring up how you guys kissed at-"

Lucas gasped and said, "At least I wasn't making out with El on the dance flo-"

"Kids, pizza is here!" Mrs. Wheeler called from upstairs, shutting everyone up immediately.

Mike stood up and went to grab the pizza box. He needed to see El as soon as possible; he had figured out that much.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Mike sat in the basement playing on his Atari game system, but couldn't pay attention. He could only think about El and how badly he wanted to see her. He briefly heard the front door open but ignored it. The only time he glanced up was when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Hi Mike."

"El!"

Mike jumped up and wrapped his arms around El, pulling her into his chest. Then Mike did something he thought he would never do: He gently pressed his lips against hers and drew her close.
