    Summary

    "Really, man?” He spit out as the kiss broke and he could taste the aftermath of Steve and that stupid peanut butter breath on his tongue. 

    Steve huffed out a dry laugh, licking the blood off his lips where Jonathan had bit. “It's not like you're unaffected by it either, Byers."

    In which tension is running high and it's between Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers in that van.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington has turned out to be a lot like a stray cat―the particular genre of stray cat Lonnie insisted Frog was: The kind that’s not really a stray at all, but looks so cute and sweet and pitiful that you can’t help yourself.

    Once Jonathan paid him a little attention, he wouldn’t go the hell away.  It was impossible to just ignore him, since he seemed to like being ignored―it must’ve been the thrill of the chase.  There was a solid six months where he was almost always on the phone or in Jonathan’s bedroom, flipping his fucking hair around and drawling translate this for me, Byers.  What’s our friend Robert Smith saying?

    Jonathan has tried throwing rocks at him, metaphorically speaking; he’s been mean and he’s been honest; he’s left the most pessimistic parts of himself in charge.

    And somehow, despite it all, Steve is still here.

    Summary

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

    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.
