Lucas had been to El's house a hundred times, this shouldn't have been any different. But his hands shook all the same since he had gotten on his bike earlier.

He met Max there like always. They hung out with El and Will like always. Jonathan and Argyle were cool, like always. Even so, Lucas knew that things were going to change today.

It was odd. Lucas felt anticipation, but he knew that other people on the room didn't know what he was thinking about. Max and El could honestly go him into thinking they didn't know either, with how calm they were.

But he knew that wasn't true. They had agreed the Announcement would be today. It would be easier with El's whole family there.

Jonathan's and Argyle's presence was calming. Even though their relaxed disposition was almost unnerving, they were like a reminder. That it would be okay.

Maybe over the years though, Lucas had just learned to dislike the feeling of anticipation.

In any case, El had more on the line than him. Because to anyone besides them and Max, El liked like an outsider. A girl who was dating another girl when the other girl was dating someone already, and dating two people. Not to mention there would be five members of her family present, and she would be doing the talking at first.

Lucas and Max would be fully at her side, though. Because she wasn't some outsider. She was their girlfriend, and they both loved and supported her.

El clasped Lucas's shaking hand beneath the table, as if she were the one offering reassurance. Lucas tried to still himself and gave El's hand a squeeze. Jonathan's got to the dining room and sat directly across from Lucas, next to Argyle. Those two and Will had one side, El was in the middle of the other with Max and Lucas, Joyce and Hopper were on the ends. Jonathan's eyes seemed to look through Lucas. Interrogative. But familiar. Like he'd been there before. Not just in Lucas' position, but for someone else, too. But of course Jonathan couldn't know what was about to be said. Lucas was probably just making things up. He felt even more confused.

Lucas held Jonathan's gaze, his feelings becoming hot soup in his stomach, when he was startled by stifled laughter.

Broken from his trance, Lucas searched the table for a source. He hadn't even realized who was speaking.

Will and Argyle were trying and failing to hide giggles behind their hands, Joyce was holding her composure much better. Hopper was just as confused as Lucas, by the look on his face.

Oh no.

Shit. Fuck.

We're they laughing at El?

Lucas almost fell from his chair turning it so fast to see El's face. She was trying to mimic Will's cheerfulness, but seemed worried nonetheless.

"What did you say?" Lucas asked. He probably should have asked if she was okay, but it slipped out.

Will sprung to answer. "It's okay Lucas, or was just a misunderstanding. El said that you and Max are her-" he was cut off by laughter, and Joyce lost it.

They were laughing at them! Even Jonathan's eyes were smiling now!

Max looked just as mortified where she sat. She was clinging to El's arm and not saying anything.

"Don't worry El, it's gonna be okay," Lucas started, but apparently Will wasn't finished.

"In Spanish, 'ellos' means 'those boys' but you can use it to say any group of people, including groups of boys and girls. Mom was telling her that because El started soaking Spanish with us at home, so she new to that rule."

"So when El was making her announcement," Argyle continued. "Baby Byers called the two of you her boyfriends!"

The dam broke on the nervous laughter that had been brewing in Lucas' throat.

Of course. Of course it was just a language thing. Lucas knew now that Joyce Maldonado-Hopper would never give him any reason to be afraid in her home.

That explained Hop's confusion too, since he had only recently married into this family. Though Lucas suspected he was probably actually confused about El dating two people too, but that was for another day.

Max leaned on El further and reached her hand out for Lucas to grab behind El's back since she couldn't see to look for him. "El, don't worry. I can be your boyfriend any day." She declared, grinning.

"Yeah," Lucas joined in. "And I can be your girlfriend, too."
