Stonathan/A trip to New York

Chapter 5

They started walking into the airplane, everyone excited, except Jonathan. He was afraid of heights. That was the problem. He Put on his headphones again and tried to calm down. He found his seat and after a while later, Steve joined him. Luckily their seats were besides each other. Jonathan was on the window side and Steve was beside him. Joyce and Nancy were behind them and hopper, el, max and Dustin were in the middle four seats, besides the four were mike and Will and behind Mike and Will was Lucas on his own.

After a while, they assigned for them to put on their seat belts, and that's were Jonathan got frightened.
The airplane started moving and they were about to fly.

He put on his headphones and turned the voice to the loudest, trying to block out everything and everyone and focus on the music.

Steve watched from the other side, looking outside the window excited, he turned to Jonathan to see how he's doing and found him, eyes closed and leg bouncing, blasting loud music, with his headphones.

"R' you ok?" Steve asked. Jonathan didn't reply. Of course he didn't, he's wearing headphones and clearly blasting loud music, it could be heard if you were close to him. Steve put his hand on Jonathan's shoulder and started shaking him slightly, as if he would take the headphones off. But he didn't.

Jonathan slowly and hesitantly opened his eyes. Then forced a smile on his lips, he took his headphones off and rested them on his neck and looked at Steve.

Even a blind man could tell that smile was forced. But Steve ignored it. "Are you ok?" Steve asked, his eye brows furrowed. "Fine." Jonathan answered directly, Clearly trying to end the conversation and get back to his blasting loud music.

"You sure? You look tense.." Steve eyed Jonathan and looked down into his hands which was aggressively fidgeting/playing with the headphones string.

"I'm fine Steve." Jonathan's smile got weaker and more real, it was like a soft smile. Steve didn't believe him but he but he could tell Jonathan was trying to end the conversation so he did what he pleased. "If you say so.." he finished with a worried look. Jonathan smiled at him, put his headphones back on and closed his eyes and leaned his head back, getting back to his attempt to forget everything and calm himself down.

****

9 minutes passed and Jonathan still hasn't taken his headphones off or moved from his seat. Steve was slowly getting tired and he wanted to sleep. He looked at Jonathan, and stared at him for a moment. His head was tilted on the window Shield and his legs were against his chest, his shoes left on the floor, his hair was quite messy but he still looked cute (in Steve's opinion) his face was a bit flushed, his eyes were closed and he looked completely relaxed.

Steve took his hand out to "Jon's" face but still didn't touch him. He paused for a moment, debating if it was ok, a blush on his face. But then he ended up taking off his headphones. Jonathan didn't react to the sudden stop of the blasting music, so Steve was sure he was asleep already. His put his headphones inside Jonathan's backpack, and got more comfortable in his seat. He gave Jonathan one last glance and eventually drifted to sleep.

"Hey! Steve..Steve! C'mon, we're here! Steeveeee!!" Steve opened his eyes to see Dustin right in front of his face, and Jonathan was up taking his bag from the upper shelf.

"What.." Steve hazily said. He slowly opened his eyes half way and started looking around. "Where am I..?" He asked. Dustin was looking at him with a "Dumbass" look and got fed with him and went to where the part members were.

"Get up pretty boy, we're in New York" Jonathan said chuckling. Steve looked at him for a moment eyes still half way, lips parted apart slightly and a hazy look on his face. Jonathan looked at him a smirk on his face, he snorted and went in front where the rest were.

Steve paused for a moment.

"....WAIT WHAT!?"
