Hi everybod! This is my first Stranger Things fanfic, but I love the show so FREAKING much! Season 2 comes out in five days and I am dying inside! Anyway, I'm a huge mileven shipper and wanted to write a cute one-shot. Enjoy!

P.S- I don't know how El gets back from the unknown, this is in the future when she is back and now living temporarily with Mike. Warning, Mike and Eleven moments!

The ground shook as the clouds grew dark and wind swirled around Me as I screamed for her. Nothing. "Eleven!" Nothing.

The wind blew harder until I was swept off my feet and I hit the ground with a thud. A demonic gurgle. The demogoran. I felt a shiver crawl down my spine as the monster got closer and closer. I couldn't move. Couldn't scream. He opened his mouth, and for a split second I could see El. I wanted to cry. And with an ear piercing scream the monster...

Mike shot up breathing hard. He glanced around the room, waiting for his vision to become less blurry. That's when he heard another scream. He shot out of bed, throwing off all the blankets and ran down the stairs, into the living room, where El laid of the couch screaming in her sleep. Nancy soon followed. And then his parents.

"What the hell? Not this again!" Mikes father groaned, turning back around and going upstairs. His mom glared at Ted. "Mike is, is it- she okay?" Mike pretended not to her the "It". He nodded.

"You can go back to bed mom. I got this." His mom nodded, but Nancy stayed.

"El. El. Wake up El. It's okay." Mike whispered rubbing her arm gently. Eleven opened her eyes nervously, but relaxed when she saw Mike. "M-mike?"

"Yeah El. It's me. It's okay, it was just a dream." She nodded and sat up. Slowly she rubbed her eyes and adjusted to the darkness. She grabbed his hand. He squeezed it back. Nancy tried everything in her power, not to smile. "Umm... Mike? You got everything?" Mike whipped around, surprised by Nancy's presence. He turned red and started to stutter.

"Uh... Yeah. W-were f-fine." She nodded, grinned and went back upstairs to bed.

"Mike?"

"Yeah El?"

"No. Sleep." She looked scared. He felt his heart break with sadness.

"I know you don't want to, but you have to. Please? for me?" He took her hand again and squeezed reassuringly. She shook her head again. He sighed.

"What if I tell you a story? That always makes you feel better." She nodded and made room for him on the couch. He cleared his throat and sat down next to her, wrapping a blanket over the two of them. She moved closer and laid her head on his shoulder. Mike felt his heart skip a beat.

"Okay then. Um... Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess, and she lived in a tower. She had lived in the tower all her life, but wasn't allowed to leave." El gasped, but smiled ready for the story to continue. So Mike finished his story. Well... not really. They both were asleep before they got to the ending. Mikes head fell gently on El's head, who was still on Mikes shoulder. And under the blanket, they were still holding hands.

The next morning...

"Son of a -"

"Dustin!"

"Whoops! Sorry Mrs. Wheeler." Dustin and Lucas stared at their two sleeping friends. Lucas looked disgusted and Dustin was making kissing noises, while giggling.

"Boys, just leave them. They were up a lot last night." Mrs. Wheeler called from the kitchen table.

"Doing what?" Dustin asked with a smirk.

"Talking mostly. El had a nightmare." Nancy answered as she came down the stairs. They looked back at Mike and El. Dustin nudged Lucas in the rib. "I guess I'm going to be the best man." Lucas punched him.

"Yeah right. If it's anybody, it's going to be me!" The two started arguing, but were quickly pushed out the door by Mrs. Wheeler as she scolded the, for being to loud.

An hour later, El woke. She rubbed her eyes, and lifted her head slowly. Mike was still there. She gave a small smile. Slowly leaving their spot she traveled to the kitchen for breakfast. She opened the freezer and licked her lips. Eggos! She ate two quickly and wandered back to the living room and woke Mike. He did so, but it took some convincing.

Finally El got fed up and suddenly, smack! Mike shot up from his position. He pulled the pillow off his face. The tiniest bit of blood dripped from El's nose. She smiled. Smack! Mike hit her back. And before they knew it The were both locked in combat chucking pillows at each other and chasing each other around the room, until with her mind, El gathered all the pillows and threw them at him, making him crash to the ground.

She couldn't hold it in any longer. She fell to the ground beside him and laughed. He laughed too. They looked at each other and smiled. Nothing needed to be said.

That's the story! Hoped you like it! Sorry it was so short. Anyway tell me what you think! Until next time,
