Chamber of Reflection (Mileven one-shots)

Let it Happen

-- Eleven has been getting the feeling that Mike is going to be asking a special question sometime soon. So she goes to Joyce and they talk about it.

Eleven's P.O.V

Joyce said that it would happen eventually. And I feel like it's about to happen.

"What do I say?" I start.

"If he asks you to be his girlfriend?" She asks with a smile.

"Yeah."

"Oh! Well, how do you feel about your relationship with him?"

"Fuzzy and soft." I smile, not really knowing how to explain it.

She laughs softly, "good! Then you should know how to answer his question. When did he ask?"

"Oh... He didn't ask. I just thought he was going to soon." I explain.

"Oh." She nods.

"But what if I get scared?" I ask nervously.

"You won't get scared. And if you do, just breathe. Relax. If you're really into him, then just say yes. If you don't answer me might think otherwise." She describes.

I nod. "So... just say yes?"

"Yes. Only if you do want to be his girlfriend."

"I do! Really badly."

She laughs again. "Then great! Go hang out with him now. Before his mother makes him go to bed." She jokes in a whisper.

I smile, and quickly head out the door.

20 minutes later

I show up to the downstairs door at Mike's house.

Anxiously, I knock.
Instantly, the door opens.

"Oh... El. Hey!" Mike says excitedly.

"Hi."

He lets me in, so I go and sit on the couch.

"I actually was wanting to talk to you." He says softly with his face turning red.

Uh oh. It's coming.

"What about?" I ask quietly.

"Just... I don't know... nevermind. It was stupid anyways." He pouts.

"No! Tell me!" I say quickly.
I really want him to ask.

His eyes jolt to mine.
"Oh... okay. Well... it's stupid!"

"Mike. Friends don't lie."

"You don't know if it's stupid or not." He sighs.

"Yes, I do. It is not stupid. Just tell me."

He takes a deep breath.
"Eleven, I really... really like you. And I don't want to just be your friend. Will... will you be my girlfriend?"

I can't help but smile so hard.
I nod, "Yes Mike. I like you too."

I go to him quickly, hugging him tight. I'm so glad he finally asked me.

When he pulls away, I quickly kiss his cheek; turning his face an even brighter red. He smiles.

We both look away from each other, smiling uncontrollably.
