harrington residence

jonathan byers pulled into steve harrington's driveway and put his car in park. he had always hated steve, mostly for the way that he always looked at (y/n). jonathan didn't like admitting it, but he had always had a thing for her. that's why he was always there for her.

he'd resolved that tonight was going to finally be that night that he told (y/n) about his feelings for her. it had all gone on for so long and he had to know how she felt for him.

nancy and (y/n) pulled into the driveway shortly after, not giving jonathan any time to think about his decision. he got out and hugged both of them. he held the front door open for them as music blared in the background.

"who's getting the drunkest tonight?" jonathan joked.

"me," nancy laughed and so did everyone else.
