    Summary

    When Jonathan canceled on the group's plans, Steve paid him a visit to find out the real reason. It doesn't go the way he expects.
    ~
    Something was amiss. Steve knew because Jonathan never skipped Friday nights with him, Robin, and Nancy. That, on top of his dry and cryptic messages from the day before; vaguely mentioning an argument with his dad who was in town for some reason.

    His knuckles wrapped on the glass and Jonathan’s dark figure shifted, turning to face him. “Byers, let me in,” he hissed, rubbing his hands together in an effort to warm them.

    Summary

    And yet—he wasn't even focused on that part. He was grateful, don't get him wrong, but…

    He couldn't stop thinking about how Jonathan just… held him. Pulled him up.

    With one arm.

    Jonathan Byers held his entire body weight with one arm.

    "Just hold on." He'd told Steve. "I've got you."

    And Steve was holding on to everything but his own goddamn sanity.

    They had literally saved the world, and the thought at the front of his head the whole time?

    Just how strong was Jonathan?

    Summary

    ‘All I’m saying is… you chose the shyest, saddest, most complicated little emo boy on campus, and you thought hey, I know what’s a good idea-’ She knocks her head side to side with each word, mocking, using this low-pitched nasal tone to imitate him. ‘Let’s get into a fuckbuddy situation with him, and I’ll ignore how I’m desperate for monogamy, and Jonathan will pretend he didn’t have a humungous crush on me in high school, and we’ll never talk about our feelings, ever.’

    ‘I don’t sound like that.’

    ‘You so do.’

    ‘And I’m not desperate for monogamy.’ Whatever the fuck that means.

    ‘You so are.’

    or.

    College is a fresh start for Steve, and he's trying to be a better person, he really is, but the attempt would be way easier if Jonathan Byers wasn't acting so butthurt all the time. But then, maybe that's Steve's fault for following Jonathan to his bed every night, and not once, taking the chance to talk about how he really feels.
