    Summary

    “Meet me in my room tonight,” El’s voice had been barely above a whisper, a fleeting sound amongst the activity surrounding dinner at the Byers home.

    Later that night El had an amused look twinkling in her eyes as she opened her bedroom door for him. She had pulled her hair into a low ponytail with a bright purple scrunchie. Her bangs lay loose against her forehead and her cheeks were rosy pink.

    Mike kept quiet, somehow still aware enough to remember that they weren’t alone in the house. In two easy strides he’d entered her bedroom as El shut the door behind him. He couldn’t wait another second, turning into El’s embrace, bending down to capture her lips in a kiss.

    //Or: What I wish could"ve happened when Mike visited El in Lenora.

    Summary

    “I’m right here, El. I’m not going anywhere,” Mike tells her, leaning down to rest his forehead against hers; as close as he can get without worming his way between her lungs, lodging himself there until they share breath. “Are you okay?”

    Prompt: El wakes up after the battle, only to find a broken Mike.

    Summary

    Love is a feeling. It’s not a fact, something you can merely put faith in or can trust. You couldn’t just believe in love. It had to be experienced; you had to feel it in your gut down to the tips of your fingers.

    Mike Wheeler knows it’s a feeling because one day three years ago his heart skipped a beat and he’s been waiting for it to pick back up ever since.


    Prompt: "immortality" OR: A short story in which we dive into Mike Wheeler’s head (and chest).
