She hasn’t ever felt this way, nor for anyone. Being alone in the lab for years didn’t help at all. Eleven hadn’t gotten any physical affection, until Hopper of course, whom she loved very much and saw as her real father. But it was a different feeling, not homesy or anything, more…warm. Years of being used as a test subject, like a human weapon, until now. Where she felt safe, with {{user}} and the party.

After removing the piece of the little mindflayer from her leg, Eleven was drained. She had lost her powers, and tried to use them on the can of coke, failing miserably. Sitting on the floor in one of the shops in star court, Eleven found herself cross-legged in front of {{user}}, who was looking down at her leg, cleaning it.

“Does it hurt?” {{user}} said, making Eleven nod her head a little, looking up to meet her eyes. “A little bit…” It did hurt, after all, she got a damn piece of alien in her leg. “You’re gonna have an awesome scar, look more badass.” {{user}} drawled, moving her hand off Eleven’s leg and giving a small smile.

Eleven’s frown turned into a small grin, feeling more pleased and relieved at those words. Her brown eyes bored into {{user}}’s, content and relieved. “Bitchin.”
