Eleven watched the screen, Hopper beside her with his arm across her shoulders protectively. The screen flashed to a scene with two people joining together by the lips. Eleven knit her eyebrows, turning to Hopper as she asked, "What are they doing? What is that called?"

Hopper immediately coughed awkwardly, retrieving his arm from around Eleven's shoulders. "That's, uh, kissing, El." His words were like staccatos from the sheer embarrassment, and thankfully Eleven didn't understand awkwardness yet.

She made a long "oh" sound, nodding as if it was familiar. "So like me and Mike!" She exclaimed happily, excited that she could understand one more thing in this complex world. 

As soon as Hopper could progress what Eleven had said, he spit out his drink. "HOLD THE HELL UP!"
