NOT MINE!!

part 6

Everyone sat there and stared at both boys in confusion. Everyone remained silent for about 30 seconds until Will spoke up.

"Mom, Hopper, say something. You're gonna make Steve run away if you just sit there." Joyce cleared her throat and tilted her head at Will.

"What makes you think Steve's gonna run away Will? He's your brother's boyfriend I sure hope he wouldn't just run off." Will sat with his mouth agape and kicked Jonathan in the leg so he would say something. But before Jonathan could say anything Hopper cleared his throat.

"This family is over dramatic and if I didn't like all of you so much I'd probably have cussed you all by now. Joyce, they didn't know you already knew." He said just as Steve decided to take a sip of water. He almost spit it out when Hopper explained though.

"You already knew?" Jonathan, Will, and Steve all exclaimed together. Hopper laughed and picked up his clean plate to take it to the sink. Will followed behind taking his own plate as well, giving the boys time alone with Joyce.

"Mom how did you know?" Jonathan asked in surprise. Steve, still sitting there in shock, couldn't form words. Joyce laughed and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Of course I knew! You think I'm dumb enough to believe that you and Steve just go to your room to 'listen to music' Jonathan I'm your mother, I know things before you know them" The boys blushed at the thought of them 'listening to music' whenever Steve came over and thought about what she had said. But before either of them could comment on it Joyce stood up with her plate and smiled at Steve.

"If you hurt my son Steven I won't hesitate to give you hell. Do you understand?"

In response he nodded and said "yes mam'" before him and Jonathan cleaned up, Steve said goodbye to everyone and they walked out to his car. Jonathan slid in the passenger side and Steve into the driver while they sat there for a few moments thinking about what just happened.

"Well so much for coming out with a bang" Jonathan said. Steve tried to stifle his laugh,

"Jonny you heard your mom. She knew about us 'listening to music' so i think technically we did come out with a bang" Jonathan and him burst out into laughter as they leaned into each others embrace.

"I'm really glad your mom's okay with us" Steve whispered into Jonathan's ear. Jonathan pulled back just enough to look at Steve's relieved expression. Then it hit Jonathan why Steve had been nervous about it.

"Did you think I was going to break up with you if my mom didn't like you?"

Steve blushed and looked down in embarrassment. Jonathan laughed and softly pulled Steve's face up to look at him.

"If it was anyone else, I might have broken up with them because of my mom's opinion. But not with you. Of course if she didn't approve it would hurt but no one has ever made me feel the way you do Steve. Maybe it's because you're kind and you have great hair or maybe it's because we fought a fucking monster together. I don't know but whatever my mom or Will thought of you tonight wouldn't have changed how I felt about you."

Steve thought Jonathan sucked the air out of him from how breathless he was feeling.

"Hey Jonathan can I tell you something?" Steve asked a he leaned closer to Jonathan. In response the other boy nodded and Steve whispered 3 words before leaning in to kiss him.

"I love you"
