but that wasn't the only thing on their asses now. after having tripped on the vine — which was something that could have avoided entirely if they'd just buy another fucking gun instead of having to retrieve the one will left in the upside down — they probably had alerted vecna, the vecna, the cause of all this strife between the two worlds in the first place. first they'd come up with a terrible plan, and now they were potentially the target of the most POWERFUL being both of them had probably encountered in real life.

❝ yeah, i know, i know, ❞ he quietly responds in frustration, mostly aimed at himself and his dumb ideas more than anything else. ❝ just buying another gun would have been the better option. ❞

❝ ... yeah. ❞ he bit his lip, a sensation of embarrassment beginning to burrow in the pit of his stomach. or perhaps, maybe it was even FEAR; what they'd just done, if anyone else were to find out about it ... there was no telling what would be done in response to it. at the thought came a sudden rush of protective love for steve, a desire to keep him safe. with it came a sense of anger at the world, a sense that he desperately tried to choke down and preserve for later, because surely their HAPPINESS right now was what mattered most, right? ❝ me too, ❞ he agrees, craning his head up to give steve as much space as possible as he gives a hum of approval.

The quiet moan that Jonathan let out made Steve shiver as he recalled all the sounds he had made him make. God, if he hadn't just finished, he wouldn't gotten hard at that. His dick might've even given a pathetic twitch that made him almost whine under his breath.

❝Really.❞ Steve assured him, head still ducked in that safe crook of Jonathan's neck, where he smelled so good. ❝Oh, yeah?❞ The words are quiet, a tone of question in them. It was a relief to hear Jonathan say that. Steve had been questioning why he was always making excuses to be around Jonathan, why he found himself staring at him, or wanted to impress him. He had never had feelings like that about a guy. Well, after he thought about it, he realized he might've looked twice in the locker room more than once. ❝I wasn't sure that ... y'know, since we're both guys.❞ Steve laughed a little awkwardly. He turned his head to kiss against Jonathan's neck, just lightly. ❝Not something I've ever done before, but ... wouldn't be opposed to doing it again either sometime.❞

he didn't think it was worth laying out all of the intricate details, though. they'd likely come back to him in time. all jonathan wanted to do now was ENJOY the fact that his brother was back, for good. hopefully. ❝ hey, hey, it's okay ... you're okay. something ... something from the upside down. it took over you for a bit, but ... you're all right now. ❞

┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ ☪︎ . *. ⋆ HE CAN FEEL STEVE TENSING AGAINST him, almost feeling as if he were stifling something. he didn't have to be embarrassed about anything around jonathan; he couldn't blame him if he felt that way, though. it took a lot for their walls to come down. both of them had been too much to just express every little thing. and besides, at times, they both deserved some PRIVACY, too.

he gives a gentle hum against the top of steve's head, enjoying the way his palms would smooth down his legs. ❝ yeah ... i have to be honest, it's really exciting, the thought of moving in with you ... i'll try not to be too much of a financial burden. ❞ he was well-aware of the class difference between their two families, but at the same time, despite some of these things possibly being out of his control, he still felt MOTIVATED to try. for both of them. for steve.

The gentle tease of those digits create goosebumps on soft skin, Steve biting his bottom lip for a moment to keep from letting out another embarrassing sound. He always felt so needy when it came to Jonathan, always craving his touch. Craving him in one form or another so long as they were connected. Part of him worried that one day he might come off as too much, but quickly he brushed that thought away to just take it all in. A light teasing nip was made on the soft skin his lips had just been kissing, hands moving to trail along what he could reach of Jonathan's legs. "I can't wait till we can have a place of our own...Maybe have every night end like this."

❝ i would advise waiting a few days until the weekend. ❞ it's when she tended to be most free, most likely to pick up something new or to run off somewhere in the form of a surprise. but jonathan was telling hopper to at least schedule something just so she would remember.

Don’t over-organise, that was easy enough right? Well, maybe it wasn’t. Because he wanted to make a good impression, and sure he knew that he didn’t have to really impress her anymore. Jonathan was right about that, he knew she liked him. But nonetheless, he wanted to make sure that the date was going to be good. He just … wasn’t too sure what to do that wasn’t going to turn out in another disaster.

“Maybe I should … just … do it without really planning things like a restaurant?” He spoke, frowning a bit as he considered it all. Perhaps he could just try and surprise her with a nice dinner at his place? Perhaps surprise her at her work and take her out to a movie. “Think … would you mind it if I take her out tonight or tomorrow?”

It was just an idea, but he figured that if he could surprise her, then there was a least nothing that could really mess up the planning, right? It felt like a better idea than actually planning a date again and being let down by her getting distracted, right?

he snuggled closer to her on the bed , strong arms wrapping around her shoulders to keep her close as he NUZZLED against the side of her neck. ❝ oh , well that's good , 'cause i'm gonna be making use of the ' nancy-poo ' all summer, ❞ he teased , taking advantage of the position they were in when ALL TEN FINGERS reached to playfully tickle her sides.

maybe it was the drug talking for jonathan too, but he had kind of been staring at billy's lips the whole time. he'd never really gotten the time or space to really appreciate the other, and how down-to-earth he could be; maybe he was grateful to steve for throwing this party. but he still wanted to know. ❝ maybe not mad, but ... why would you want to kiss me? ❞

JONATHAN had never been a very trusting person, never someone to reveal the intimate details of his family and the issues he'd had with some of its members at first glance. well, one member in particular, who so happened to be his own father. the person who made him go out of his way to abuse other living creatures, who inflicted an amount of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE on his mother and younger brother that made it so they both had difficulty trusting others and letting them into their worlds. his stomach still lurched seeing the amount of fear on his brother's face going out in public, knowing the kinds of rumors that had been spread about him and how the rest of the world must see him because of that.

he didn't want thomas to take it PERSONALLY; it had nothing to do with him. so forgive him for not unloading all of his emotional baggage when they had barely known each other for a good amount of the past couple weeks.

the air felt hot and heavy as they found a comfortable pace, jonathan's moans growing louder as he rocked his hips up to meet the gentle yet precise thrusts deep inside him. he'd never understand why he hadn't tried this before; of course, it had been overwhelming and a bit PAINFUL at first, but after relaxing into all of it, he was filled with a sense of ecstasy he'd never felt before, stars dancing behind his eyes, the air just about knocked from his lungs. until the moment is ruined when steve's head accidentally comes into contact with the roof, sending a jolt of discomfort through jonathan, and he groans with frustration and impatience.
