Summary
Mike doesn’t have a single picture of her in his room and it’s not for lack of wanting.
But there’s one that he keeps pressed between the pages of his favorite Tolkien; on the third shelf of his bookcase, the worn spine catching his eye without fail every night before he falls asleep. He counts the steps it would take to reach it as he drifts off and every morning he double—triple—checks that Aragorn, too, is still protecting her.
OR in which we find out why Mike has no photos of El in his bedroom.

“El, look at me.”
Prompt: What if Mike found Eleven hiding in the backroom at Rink-O-Mania before she could bash Angela’s face in, changing everything that followed?

Summary
"I wanted to run something by you, actually. For the new campaign.”
“Your story?” El quirks a brow, not sure how much help she could be. She’s still learning how the game works, even all these years later. “You want my help?”
Mike nods, eyes wide as boyish glee takes over his face. “Not help, really, just- I just need to bounce some ideas off of you before the guys get here. You know, like the ending. I haven’t quite figured it out yet and I thought maybe you could help me with that.”
Maybe he should’ve just gone about it in a less nerdy way. Flowers. Dinner. A surprise at the bottom of her tiramisu. — Not a proposal via D&D.
Mileven Week 2022 - Prompt #2: Stories OR: A follow-up to "questions nobody can answer but you" in which El learns about proposals and engagements. Mike has a promise to keep now, after all.
