Jonathan’s POV

Jonathan’s POV

Jonathan knocked on Eddie’s dorm’s door hesitantly, hoping that Robin gave him the right room number and he was at the right one. It took a while until he heard some shuffling inside and he heard the footsteps make their way to the front which only increased his nervousness. He never had to buy any stuff, Argyle, his best friend from California knew where to buy all the best and Jonathan just gave him the money or Argyle just shared. Finally the door opened, and a boy with curly hair about the same height as him appeared with a t-shirt that he was still pulling over his head.

“Uh, hi.” Jonathan said shifting between his feet. “I took your name from Robin.” He quickly added.

“Right, she told me a friend was coming.” Eddie said and opened the door wide. “Steve put on a shirt, we have company.” He called inside as he ushered Jonathan in.

Jonathan’s heart jumped a beat at the mention the name Steve’s, but Steve Harrington couldn’t be the only Steve in the whole school. Even if it was his Steve, so what, Jonathan thought. Steve and him were slowly becoming more friend-like in the sense that they were no longer running from each other and hanging together with Robin and Nancy, they were also occasionally sending snaps and texting. It wouldn’t be that awkward to see him. Also, Robin sounded like he was friends with Eddie and Steve could be too and maybe they were smoking together and maybe Steve just wanted to take his shirt off. That all made sense. Probably it wasn’t Steve Harrington though.

Eddie almost crushed into him when Jonathan stopped dead in his tracks seeing Steve Harrington sprawled onto what Jonathan assumed to be Eddie’s bed, with a t-shirt worn inside-out. Eddie went around him and laughed at the way Steve was wearing his t-shirt as Steve looked at Jonathan with a sort of horrified expression.

“So how much do you want?” Eddie asked sitting on his chair.

Jonathan couldn’t speak. It turned out to be the Steve he knew, and it turned out that they weren’t just friends. He wasn’t stupid, it was as clear as day. A really hurtful thought passed his mind, where he wanted to take a jab at Steve saying how he was still living everything behind close doors but, he held his tongue because he knew it was unfair. He never demanded for them to become really official and out but somehow Steve thought it could be one way or the other and broke Jonathan’s heart in the worst way possible. Now, Steve had found somebody new right when Jonathan was warming up to him. Great.

“Jonathan.” Steve finally let out breaking the silence and earning him a scowl from Eddie. “Jonathan, hi. We were just hanging you know.” Steve added running one hand through his hair and raising the other hand that was holding the joint.

Eddie looked at Steve and Steve averted his eyes, then at Jonathan and finally back at Steve. He turned around in his chair and grabbed a little plastic bag and tossed it to Jonathan who was so caught up in surprise that he almost dropped it down.

“The first one’s on the house. You have good connections after all.” Eddie said to him with a smirk before his eyes landed on Steve who was now sitting up on the bed and trying to catch Jonathan’s eyes.

“Thanks, man.” Jonathan mumbled, trying not to look at Steve and trying not to think why he was suddenly losing it.

“Jonath-“ Steve started but Jonathan was already turning back on his heel.

“I should go.” Jonathan mumbled again, his back already turned to Steve and Eddie. “And, sorry for interrupting.” He added so quietly and bolted out of the room.

Once he was back to his floor, he leaned against the wall and took in a few deep breaths and let them out. He shoved the little plastic packet to his pocket and ran a hand through his hair, grabbing onto them and exhaling again. Fuck, he thought, he was never going to get his hopes up again. Maybe he shouldn’t have warmed up to Steve so quickly. He shook his head to himself. No, it was okay that he did that but he expected too much. They were barely becoming friends, and would never be anything more. Never. Steve clearly had somebody else.

Robin’s POV

Robin’s POV (continued)

Robin’s Snap

*some notes: anddddd we finally have eddie!! he won’t stir up drama i promise but he will show up and be a good friend like a +1 to these four.

also Steve is obviously lying to Robin, Jonathan does know that he is bi being Steve’s first and all.

and, i wanted to have Max be close to Robin through Steve and also know Nancy through Mike so she could kinda play the role of pushing the two together. I find it cute. Robin did came out to her before the summer of her freshman year.
