Rewriting Mike’s Speech

I’ve been thinking about Mike’s speech and what it really means. As I saw someone else say, Mike is not lying to El, he’s lying for her. He’s realized that she no longer needs him, but he desperately needs her. She is his hope, his salvation. Without her, he is nothing. He’s terrified to lose her and face his demons alone, and he knows the rest of the Party feels the same way. They can’t let their Hope die. I’ve copied the original text and added my annotations in blue. I hope they shed some light on his words and help you see Mike in a new light. 💙

"El? I don't know if you can hear this but... if you can, I want you to know I'm here. Okay? I'm right here. And I love you. El, do you hear me? I love you.”

[Please don’t leave me, I can’t bear to live without you. I tried for a year and nearly killed myself. And I do love you, just not in the traditional sense. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t love you. Because I do, I love you so much it hurts me. Even though you say you love me, too, I see in your eyes that you don’t mean it. You were trying to break up with me in the pizza shop and honestly, I was, too. But we’re both scared of what breaking up means, especially for Will, so I’m covering for you. I hope that’s okay.]

“I'm sorry I don't say it more, it's not because I'm scared of you. I'm not. I've never felt that way, never! But I am scared that one day you'll realize you don't need me anymore. And I thought that if I said how I felt it would somehow make that day hurt more.”

[I take you for granted. You’ve been in my life for four years, and I now expect you to fix all my problems. But I realize that’s not fair to you or me, and I’m sorry for putting you through that. You’re not a dog or a superhero here to save the day, you’re just El, and that’s okay. Do your powers scare me sometimes? Yes. But does that mean I’m scared of you as a person? No. I trust you with everything, including my life. I know you would never hurt me. I am scared though, that you’re growing up and realizing you’re way too powerful for me and that you’ll leave me behind. Please don’t leave me behind. I’m not strong enough to survive on my own. I would tell you this, but then you might actually leave me and I’m not ready for that yet.]

“But the truth is, El, I don't know how to live without you. I feel like my life started that day we found you in the woods. You were wearing that yellow Benny's Burgers t-shirt and it was so big it almost swallowed you whole and I knew, right then and there in that moment that I loved you.”

[If I’m honest, I don’t know how to believe in myself. I hate who I’ve become and I’m terrified of being on my own. There’s no way anything could ever happen with Will , so you are all I have. I can’t lose you, too. The day we found you, all soaking wet and swallowed in that Benny’s T-shirt, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time…hope. Hope of getting Will back, hope of closing the gate and saving Will from the Mindflayer, and hope of a normal life were these terrifying thoughts in my mind. The moment we found you, and my flashlight lit up your face, I knew I had found something special, and I wanted to hold onto it. I wanted to keep you for myself. But I know that’s selfish. It’s not what you deserve. Anyone else benefiting from your hope makes me jealous. You’re my El and you always have been. It doesn’t feel fair to share you with the world.]

“And I've loved you every day since. I love you on your good days, I love you on your bad days. I love you with your powers, I love you without your powers, I love you for exactly who you are. You're my superhero! And I can't lose you! Okay? Do you hear me? I can't lose you! You can do anything! You can fly, you can move mountains. I believe that, I really do. But right now, you just have to fight. Okay? El, do you hear me? You need to fight! You have to fight! Fight! Fight! That's it, El, fight El. Fight. Fight!" 

[That hope I talked about, you have kept it alive every day since. I called you for 353 days, remember? You are hope. You’ve kept me alive. On my good days, my bad days, with your powers, without your powers, you alone make me feel wanted. You alone make me feel like my life is worth living. I love every part of you, even the parts without your powers. I will admit, though, that I feel inadequate to you. You have freaking superpowers and I’m just some dumb nerd who fell in love with his best friend. 

Please don’t be mad at me. This is not something I chose. Things just happen sometimes and you have to follow fate where it leads. As we close the chapter on our relationship, I want you to remember that you are so special. Regardless of your powers, you are an incredibly brave, kind, and devoted friend. I am a better person for meeting you, and I can’t bear to lose you. Because, if you die, I might die, too. Please don’t make me face my demons alone. You saw what happened last time. What if I jump again and you can’t catch me? Will wouldn’t be able to live with himself if I died. I can’t do that to him. 

I fully believe you can shift the world on its axis if you want, but right now, I just need you to survive. For me, for Will, for Jonathan, for yourself, and for Max. If you can see her right now, look at her. Draw strength from her. She loves you so much and has fall apart with you. She needs you, El. Fight for her, for all of us. Please don’t leave us here alone. We can’t survive without you. Fight for us, El. Please, God, Fight!!!]

Can you write a Steve Harrington pre-season 4 fluff request where his girlfriend is Dustin's older sister after years of friendship and mutual pining and basically, she is taking care of him and the medicine makes him loopy enough for him to forget that they're already a couple, so he re-confesses and she teases him when he's better?

Here it is, sorry it’s late!

Loopy Confessions - Steve Harrington

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Reader

Requested: Yes

Warnings: swearing, loopy steve, re-confessing one's feelings, FLUFF

Word Count: 859

Summary: While helping Steve clean up after getting drugged and beat up by Russians under the Starcourt Mall, he re-confesses his love for you unaware that you're already dating.

Knowing Steve, he was a bit dumb when it comes to love that's why he's always had dates and not girlfriends. That was odd to him but to you it wasn't because you knew how much of a dork he was and for that, women weren't as interested as you were. You had fallen head over heels for your friend, unaware that he likes you back but thought the same thing you thought.

Having a crush on each other was hard because you both wanted to confess but had the idea that if you or Steve confessed to each other one would simply decide that they don't want to date him/her, so you kept it a secret around him but Nancy and Robin knew something was up between you and Steve.

Finally, you thought it was a good idea to confess and little did you know, Steve liked you back. You started dating fairly quickly, and that made you happy. Things took a turn when Steve, Robin, you, Erica and Dustin broke into underground Russian head quarters beneath Starcourt Mall. It annoyed you to go with them but you went anyway because you wanted to protect you little brother, not notching Steve trying to protect you.

The three of you managed to get out alive but Steve and Robin risked their lives to protect you and the kids as you dragged Steve towards a bench in the mall, you ran and grabbed some medical supplies from the back in the first aid kit, prying it open and grabbing something, anything that can help Steve and his open sores.

"Steve, hey," You say as Steve looks at you, staring into your eyes. "I'm gonna give you some meds to ease the pain, OK? Then I'm gonna clean you up."

He nods, trying to process everything you just said as he gets distracted by your leg, noticing a large cut on it. He tries to get you to look at it, but you are more focused on Steve's injuries more than your own. you grab your hoodie and rip some fabric off it and grabbing a bottle of liquid medicine and reading the label to see if its safe for face wounds. Since it is, you drip some onto the cloth before dabbing Steve's wounds as he pulls away from you and winces at it.

"Ow, that hurts," He complains.

"I'm sorry, babe. I'm trying to be as gentle as I can be, but it is kinda hard to clean a wound when you're moving away."

He nods, moving closer to you as he tries to kiss you. You now pull away, eying Steve as he becomes sad as you grab some meds, pouring two out from the bottle. You hand him the two pills as he swallows them, waiting for the effects to hit. Once when the medicine kicks in, Steve becomes a little giggly as he plays with your hair as you focus cleaning his wounds.

"You're so pretty, I wish you were my girlfriend. That would be great if you were."

You chuckle at him while setting the cloth down and grabbing some bandages and covering Steve's open wounds. You finish up, tossing the bloody cloth and other stuff away before coming back and grabbing something for your leg sore, wrapping it up then packing up the first aid kit and setting it to the side, looking towards Steve as he grabs your hand.

"I love you, Y/N Y/L/N. I've always been in love with you and tired of thinking of you and around you but not physically. Will you be my girlfriend/boyfriend, Y/N?"

You giggle at your boyfriend, stopping almost immediately when he furrows his brows and complains that you're giggling. "Yes, Steve Harrington. I'll be your girlfriend." Bursting out laughing at him before stopping.

For the next few minutes, Steve is still drugged a bit before finally coming back together and acting like his normal self. You both rise to your feet, bringing him into a hug and telling him how scared you were when you saw how badly his open sores were. He holds you close before pulling away as you smile, beginning to tease him.

"I love you, Y/N Y/L/N. I've always been in love with you," You tease, imitating him.

"Okay, okay. You can stop."

"Thinking of you and around you but not physically," You continue teasing him more as he becomes slightly irritated.

"Okay, Okay. I hear you. You can stop now."

You begin making smooching sounds, holding your hands to your heart and smiling cutesy at him as he rolls his eyes. You slowly take it down and giggling causing him to pick up you, holding you close as you shout for him to stop. He playfully puts you on your feet as your bandage falls off, causing him to see it as he decides to help you.

You decline his offer as you grab your bandage, wrapping it around your leg and focusing on Steve. He brings your lips to his, staying there for a few seconds before pulling away from you.
