Summary
Steve hasn’t been sleeping. The panic attacks are getting worse, the ringing in his ears won’t stop, and he can’t look in the mirror without seeing what the Russians did to him. So he does something he never thought he’d do—he shows up at Jonathan Byers’ door asking for weed.
What starts as a desperate attempt to quiet his mind for a few hours turns into something else entirely: an honest conversation, a vulnerability he didn’t know he was capable of, and maybe, finally, the understanding that he doesn’t have to carry his trauma alone.
tl;dr: Steve Harrington shows up at Jonathan Byers’ house with a lie about wanting to try weed “for fun.” Jonathan sees right through it.

Summary
Jonathan Byers didn’t believe in soulmates. Not in the sense that they didn’t exist. He knew they were out there– in theory. He wasn’t naive enough to think that he’d actually find his. He also didn’t buy into the belief that you couldn’t live a happy life without finding your soulmate. He didn’t know anyone who had found their soulmate and they all lived perfectly happy and normal lives. There was just one benefit of finding a soulmate. Colors. The moment a person and their soulmate touch, their worlds are flooded with vibrant, beautiful colors. Without that person, you were stuck in a world of black and white. When Will goes missing, finding his soulmate is the last thing on Jonathan’s mind that is until he punches Steve Harrington in the face and his world is flooded with color.
