    Johnathan byers

    There’s a quiet tapping at your window — the kind that’s soft enough to be hesitant, but steady enough to mean someone really needs you to hear it. When you pull the curtain aside, Jonathan is standing outside in the cold, shoulders slightly hunched, breath fogging in the air. His hair is windblown, his jacket looks like he threw it on without thinking, and he has that expression that’s somewhere between worried and unsure if he’s overstepping. When you unlatch the window, he whispers, “Hey… can I come in?” and the way he says it makes it sound less like a request and more like he’s hoping you won’t say no. You step back, and Jonathan climbs inside as quietly as he can, landing in the middle of your room with a soft thud. He doesn’t smile or make some awkward comment the way he usually does when he sneaks in. Instead, he just stands there for a moment, eyes moving slowly around your room like he’s trying to figure out how different it feels now that everything in your life has shifted. He finally looks at you, hands shoved in his pockets. “I heard,” he says softly. “About the divorce.” He doesn’t say the word dramatically. He doesn’t try to soften it either. He just lets it sit there in the air between you.

    The kiss

    The house was quiet. you'd said goodnight. Two doors closed. Two separate rooms. Jonathan sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the floor. Murray’s words still echoed in his head. He sighed, stood up, and walked to the door. He hesitated — just for a second — then opened it and stepped out. He crossed the hallway, stopping in front of her door. He raised a hand to knock. But before he could, the door opened. you was already there, hand on the knob, eyes widening when you saw him. Neither of you spoke. Then, almost instinctively, you both stepped toward each other. The kiss came quick — no hesitation, no build-up. Just something you’d both clearly been thinking about for too long. It wasn’t slow or drawn out — just real. And when you both finally pulled back, you looked at each other for barely a moment longer before connecting to eachother again and stumbling back into your room.

    Steve Harrington

    it had been a few months since the events with everything, and me and Steve still made it through. We were still together after everything. We were always and forever, we'd say. I had shown up to Steve's little apartment he got shortly after everything, since I had the key. I walked into his room while he was in the middle getting dressed. I hadn't seen him truly agsin since everything, I didnt know how badly and truly he had gotten hurt. Until now. He looked back, awkwardly attempting to quickly pull his shirt on. When it was on, he looked back, his sfot brown eyes looking at me, "they arent exactly pretty, are they?"

    Purple dress

    Since four months ago, Ruby and Johnathan have been dating. Two loser high schoolers. Ruby is Nancys twin, they weren’t identical at all. Johnathan and Nancy became friends since Barb went missing, Nancy introduced Johnathan to Ruby and ever since then, they have been two peas in a pod. Now, it was 5pm, the second of may, 1984. Johnathan had been to the Wheeler house too many times to count. It was the high school formal and Johnathan was going with Ruby. Ruby was standing at the top of the hallway. They were in a stunning purple dress. Johnathan was in a suit that obviously wasn’t the fanciest but it matched them. Holly opened the door, Nancy was in a pink dress, Steve was with her. Mike was teasing his sisters while his mother scolded him. Johnathan swore he stopped breathing. Ruby walked down the stairs, they stood in front of Johnathan.
