[ No... No, she didn't, Eleven thinks. Not really, not fully.
Peter is a friend, and a good one. He's her teacher. He cares, and he can be trusted. He's something she shouldn't like, something she should stay far away from, and yet... and yet she can't help it, can't help but want to look beyond what he is, because she so very much likes who he is.
Her trust, her full, true trust, is hard-earned, and he's managed, somehow.
Eleven reaches out and puts a hand on his arm. She won't forget this. If he ever needs someone by hisside when he wants to do something that's not a good idea, she'll make sure to be there. ]

[ Her face is much less childlike here, like this, than it can be when they study or go for ice cream. The girl that looks back at him now has already put her life on the line countless times for the people she cares about. The girl that looks back at him now will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of her loved ones.
The girl would not hesitate to die for him, either. ]
