NOT MINE!!

part 4

The boys left school in their separate cars and met at Byers residence. They walked inside and Steve took off his shoes and jacket.

"So what are we going to make?" He said clapping his hands together and rubbing them. Jonathan followed suit and then they into the kitchen. The taller boy looked around in the cabinets until he found noodles.

"We could make spaghetti," Jonathan said getting out a pot, a pan, and the noodles.

Steve shrugged and looked around the kitchen, he rarely cooked and he especially didn't cook at his boyfriend's house often. "Where do you guys keep the sauce?"

Jonathan sat the things he collected on the table and looked at his boyfriend, "Uh I think we keep tomatoes in the window sill and everything else should be in the cabinets." Steve looked at the taller boy as if he had grown two heads. Jonathan tilted his head sideways like a dog would. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.

Steve tilted his head in the opposite direction Jonathan did. "Because you think we can make homemade sauce! Jonathan the last time I cooked something it was Ramen Noodles and I literally burnt them!" Jonathan laughed and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.

"Well good thing I can cook. Now get water in this pot and put it on the stove."

Once everything was cooked, and Steve burnt himself 3 times, everything was done and taken care of and all they needed was Joyce and Will, or so they thought. Jonathan's home phone rang and Steve went and answered it seeing as Jonathan was busy trying to clean up.

"Byers's residence, this is Jonathan's b- friend Steve speaking, how may I help you?"

"Steven where are you! Your father and I were waiting for you to see where you wanted to go tonight! We had to call your girlfriend Nancy to find out where you were! You better come home this minute young man!" Steve's face looked like a plug-in outlet on the wall. Jonathan looked at him and mouthed 'are you okay?' Steve shrugged his shoulders and mouthed back 'my mom' Jonathan looked confused but walked off to his room to give his boyfriend some privacy.

"Mom I actually have very important plans for tonight. How about tomorrow? You can even pick the place!" Steve heard his mother sigh. He instantly knew he had won. "Great! So when you make reservations for "l'endroit où manger" make sure to say, four people. I have something to tell you and dad and someone has to come along. You and dad go and eat tonight and have fun, just the two of you, and then tomorrow you get news and me and your favorite restaurant" He knew he had sold her when he said the words "just the two of you."

After hanging up he put the phone back into the receiver and rested his head against the wall. Jonathan came back into the room after hearing the phone getting hung up and he rested his head on Steve's slumped shoulder.

"Do you have to leave?" Jonathan asked. Steve laughed shaking him and Jonathan slightly. He finally brought his head up and looked Jonathan in the eyes.

"How would you like to come out to my parents tomorrow night?" Jonathan's heart stopped, but not in the way Steve's had when Jonathan proposed his idea. He had seen the bruises on Steve's face and stomach from his dad. Would things get worse if Steve came out? Would Steve's dad hit Steve in front of Jonathan? He was brought back to the real world by Steve snapping his fingers in front of his face.

"Jonny? Where did you go? We're gonna go out to eat so my dad won't try anything. Trust me. If you don't want to we don't have to." Jonathan shook his head and looked at Steve.

"I'll go if you promise me that when you get home tomorrow night after dinner if anything happens you call me or Hopper or someone. Steve, I've seen how your dad gets over the smallest of things but like this is big. I don't want you to get hurt." Steve smiled and kissed his boyfriend's forehead.

"I promise. Now go get Will before your mom gets home. I'm gonna go by my house, change into a nice button up and then we'll meet back here and tell your mom at dinner." He pecked Jonathan on his lips and said goodbye as he got into his car and drove home.
