Stonathan/A trip to New York

Chapter 2

"What is going on!?"

Steve yelled. He was feeling so worried and protective for Jonathan with no explanation. He just felt so...concerned and anxious.

"I- noth-nothing" Jonathan tried to cover up but Steve was not having it "Dont give me that crap Byers- What. Is. Going. On. With you!?" He almost shouted.
Jonathan fell quiet, Steve stared at him up and down and back at his shaking hand. "Do you..Wait..is this-do you have axi-Sorry anxiety, that kind of stuff?"
Steve asked Jonathan. Robin told him those kind of stuff when a customer started having a panic attack while trying to order and Steve was freaking out and confused while robin was trying to help, and they ended up giving them a free ice cream. After that robin explained to Steve everything, from depression to ptsd to anxiety, Everything, and Steve felt horribly bad for these people, I mean who deserves to go through these kind of things?

Jonathan stared at him shocked, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything. "Answer me!" Steve insisted on knowing so he can help, he wanted to be closer to Jonathan, to know him better. Ever since he broke his camera the two of them didn't talk at all and Jonathan still didn't know that Steve was actually the one who bought him the camera, so technically he still didn't apologize, In Jonathan's point of view. "Uh-"  words were starting to form from Jonathan's mouth "How-How do you know about anxiety?" Jonathan asked, he never met someone(not that he knows many) that knows anything about anxiety or anything from that kind. "Uhh..Robin-she told me about them.." Steve started to calm down seeing Jonathan's ability to speak came back. "Oh.." Jonathan sighed. His shaking decreased the more Steve spoke and somehow Steve's grip on Jonathan's hand seemed to calm him a little.

"So..do you-like have that kind of stuff?" Steve asked slowly. Jonathan stared at Steve's face and Steve stared into his eyes, he never realized how beautiful his eyes were, they were like hazel but a tiny of dark brown was found and some blue can be spotted if you looked closely. "I'm not gonna answer that.." Jonathan said breaking the silence. "Huh- Oh.." Steve snapped back, they were silent for almost 1-2 minutes but then Steve decided to break that awkward silence. "I know..(Jonathan looked at him) that- I'm probably not the first person you would.. y'know.. open up to but...I really wanna help..(Jonathan stared at him surprised but also somehow happy and amused) I want to- also..Say sorry..(Steve put his hand behind his neck, embarrassed and Jonathan's amused and warm look was now clear as glass) I mean I didn't really apologize for..EVERYTHING I've done to you in high school and..I'm really sorry-" Steve wanted to continue but was cut off by a warm bone crushing hug from Jonathan. Steve couldn't move, he was so shocked to do anything but a voice inside of him, pushed him to hug back so tightly that he thought Jonathan was crushed to death.

"Hey Steve-" a muffled voice could be heard from the crushed smaller male. "Your-" "Oh sorry!" Steve let go of Jonathan and Jonathan took a huge breath as if he had been chocked half way to death. Steve chuckled "I'm sorry!" He said between giggles. "No it's ok!" Jonathan laughed, he felt kind of...warm inside..both of them did, they felt happiness that cannot be explained, and they found somethings else...something...Weird...like butterflies in their tummies, something neither of them have felt before even with Nancy.
