The Body Heat Meme

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

[ His heart breaks for her when she mentions her mother too, another victim of the bad men. But it doesn’t actually surprise him to hear she couldn’t, though. ]

I would have wanted to, too... [ Hell, he wanted to kill “Papa” when he saw his hands on her at the lab. ] But that would have made you like the bad men, and you’re not like them. [ He cups her cheek with his palm, encouraging her to look at him. ] You’re a good person. That’s why you couldn’t.

[She does look at him and a tear trickles down her cheek. She sniffs a little, leaning into his touch. She's not too sure about the good person part, but she knows, somehow, there's a difference between what she'd done to the bad people at the school that night and what she'd almost done to the man who'd hurt Mama.]

She's good, too. Just wrong.

[ Mike wipes the tear away with his thumb. ] Yeah. Good people can be wrong about a lot of things. Doesn’t make them bad.

Are you glad you met her?

[She thinks that makes sense, because Hopper is a good person but there are things he's been wrong about, too.]

Yes. But I miss her.

[She knows, though, that she'd done the right thing. Made the right choice by coming back and not staying with Kali. She doesn't want her entire life to be about the Bad Men. There hadn't really been a choice to make. Mike and her friends had been in trouble and the decision had been made without any thought. She had to help them, simple as that.

Eleven gazes at him for a moment, then leans in slowly and kisses his lips, soft and sweet before pulling away.]

It’s not like you can’t ever see her again, right? You could go back to Chicago to visit. Maybe let Hopper drive you next time though. [ No more getting into vehicles with strangers, please. ] Maybe if you talk to her more, you’ll change her mind.

[ He’s so busy talking about Eleven’s sister that he doesn’t see the kiss coming, surprised at first, especially since she’s never initiated one between them before. Then he gently returns it, smiling as she pulls back. ]

What was that for?

She said she's a [She has to think for a moment, to remember the word Kali had used.] -- fugitive. She wanted me to stay with her.

[And some tiny part of her had wanted to. But she knew even then that her home was here in Hawkins, with Hopper. With Mike. Who's smile is so infectious that a smile spreads across her face now, too.]

Wanted to.

[ Her response makes him smile even wider, then he thinks over what she said about her fugitive sister... ]

You could have stayed with her, but you chose Hawkins?

Yes.

[She'd seen him, in trouble, and the thought of him being hurt was almost too much to think about. She rests her hand on his arm.]

This is my home.

Even with all the bad stuff that happens here? [ It's hardly the safest town. He's surprised Will's mom hasn't moved their family out of town. They probably would have if they had the money. ]

You're here. [She says simply.]

[ Mike might look back at this moment in ten years time and realize the feeling he was experiencing at this very moment was love. But he's too young to understand it yet, so he just smiles, touched by her response. ]

You won't leave town like that again, will you? Without me? And the others? [ But mostly him. ]

[Eleven has no idea what love really is. It's something she hears on TV a lot - especially on shows like All My Children and One Life to Live, and she wonders what it means, but she hasn't yet asked Hopper. But one day, someday in the future, she'll also identify the way she feels for Mike as love.]

I won't leave you again. [She pauses.] Promise.

[ That's a relief to hear. He leans in to kiss her cheek, something new. Maybe that's a kiss they can do when Hopper is around without him hitting the roof. ]

Next time Hopper's working late and you want to see me, tell me to come over instead. I don't want you out there freezing like this again. Especially in the snow.

[She smiles shyly when he kisses her cheek. It is new, but she likes it. She's liked everything new she's done with Mike. Hugging. Kissing. Dancing. Talking. Cuddling.]

But then you'll be cold instead.

Well, yeah - [ good point, Eleven ] - but that's okay. Better me cold than you cold.

[ He'll always put her first, something she should figure out if she hasn't already. ]

[She frowns at that because she doesn't like the idea of him being cold, either.]

Maybe Steve could drive you.

Oh, yeah. Maybe. [ He forgot about Steve. He's become part of the group in a weird way. ] He'd probably do it if I said Max was gonna drive me. [ He snorts. ]

[She tenses just a little at the name Max, nose wrinkling in displeasure, but this time she says nothing.]

[ Mike sees that look, Eleven. And he actually looks pleased by her reaction because while the others liked Max, it seemed like Eleven didn't. It was nice to not be the only one. ]

That's how I felt about her at first, but... she's actually okay. [ And then Mike looks confused. ] Wait, why don't you like her? [ Mike had his reasons, but Eleven had only met her... what, once? Had they even talked? ]

[As soon as Mike asks why she doesn't like Max, her cheeks start to grow warm, guilt and embarrassment taking hold.

Friends don't lie...]

Saw you with her. At school.

[ Mike thinks for a moment when that could have happened... ]

In the gym? [ Oh. ] I knew I felt you then...

[ But that also means when Max suddenly fell off her skateboard, it wasn't an accident. He sees the guilt in Eleven's eyes. He knows she was responsible. ]

Why'd you make her fall? [ He hasn't figured it out yet. It's not like he and Max had been fighting physically, like when Mike had been fighting with Lucas. They'd just been talking. ]

[She sees the moment he figures out why Max fell and she drops her gaze, a sigh escaping her as she lays her head back down on the pillow, silent for a moment.]

She could be there.

[And Eleven wasn't supposed to be. But more than that, Max had been there with Mike. She doesn't really know how to explain it.]

But... would you have done that to Dustin, if he'd been there instead? [ Mike doesn't think so. Somehow he has a feeling there's more to it. ]

You weren't... jealous I was with another girl, were you? [ Admittedly he's flattered if that's the case. He never thought he'd make anyone feel jealous, especially a girl. ] She was super annoying me then, you know. I mean, she definitely didn't deserve what you did, and I'm sure if you could go back you wouldn't do it again, but I barely wanted to be in the same room as her. [ He pulls a face, as though remembering his terrible behavior. He shouldn't have been so hard on the new girl, that much is clear now. ]

I think we both misjudged her... We should probably both apologize. [ For the sake of the party. ]

Dustin's my friend. [She frowns, because it's definitely not the same thing. She's not sure why he thinks she'd have done that to Dustin. The frown only deepens when he asks her if she was jealous.]

Jealous?

[She thinks she heard that on one of the shows she watches but she hadn't understood it then, either. But Mike goes onto explain that Max was annoying him and she relaxes...

And then frowns again when he says they misjudged Max.]

Because of Lucas? [She'd seen the redhead dancing with their other friend at the Snowball.]

Yeah, jealous. Like... [ He thinks for a moment of an example. ] Like if I saw you... kiss someone else. [ For the two kisses he's given her tonight, he can't actually talk about it without blushing. ] I'd be jealous because I only want you to do that with me, no one else.

[ He nods when she mentions Lucas. ] Lucas really likes her... for some reason. [ He doesn't get it, the way Lucas probably doesn't get why Mike likes Eleven so much. ] We need to make things right with her for being mean.
