Johnathan Byers (Johnathan x Reader)

Chapter 2: staying the night

Johnathan and I got into his car that afternoon to go over to his house like we normally do, and turned on the radio, but before we pulled out Steve slammed his fist above the passenger side door

"Where do you think your going (y/n)?" He smirked at me the up at Jonathan "going home with him?"

"Steve..I do this every day why do you care?" I rolled my eyes glaring up at my brother

"Because sis..mom an dad are out if town and they put me in charge of you"

I scoffed "yeah right. The day they put you in charge is the day they give up there right as good parents"

I heard Jonathan give a laugh and Steve shot him a look

"Just..be home by 11." He stepped back from the car letting us pass

"Is he always like that when your parents are gone?" Jonathan asked as we drove down the road "over bearing and thinks he can tell you to do whatever he wants?"

I shrugged leaning against the window looking out it as we passed trees and bushes "he likes to think he's the boss..even though he knows our mom and dad trust me with there life's they don't even trust him with plastic"

This gained another laugh from him as come on Eileen came through the speekers. We smiles at each other singing along.

This song was in a way our song. The first time I road home with Jonathan this song came on and it would do every time I got in the car since then. We thought it was the funniest thing in the world. We would laugh and start to sing along.

But today was a bit different. We just listened to it and stayed silent until it ended. I continued to stare out the window until we pulls up to his house

Joyce was standing outside "oh..(y/n)" she showed me a worry fulled smile as she walked over to give me a hugs "how are you dear?" She put her hand on top of my head "feeling alright?" She asked. Joyce had always been like my mom more then anything

"I'm fine" I replied looking back at Jonathan then to her "how are you?"

"Just a little shaken up I'm just worried.." She let go the turned and headed inside

Both me and Jonathan sighed "I hope he's just at his friends and is just...being a kid.." I said trying to comfort him

He gave me a simple nod "yeah...me too"

Hours later you were sitting in Jonathan's room on his bed a textbook open in your lap looking over a math problem when Joyce knocked on the open door "(y/n), are you planing on eating here or are you going home for dinner?"

"If you'd like me to go home I can, Steve's just having some friends over an I hate being at the house when tommy and Carol are there"

Joyce smiled "I don't mind if you stay, I'm sure Jonathan won't mind either, ill start on dinner then ok?" She turned as walked into the kitchen

"If you really hate being at home I bet my mom would let you sleep on the couch if you don't want to go home." Jonathan muttered quietly looking over his homework

"Are you sure..? I don't want to intrude especially with everything that's going on"

"I'm sure she'll be fine with it, I think she'd like having the noise in the morning." He smiled a little up at me then looked back down at his book

After dinner Jonathan brought up the idea of me staying and after a little arguing bak and forth Joyce agreed that it would be fine as long as I stayed on the couch.

"Here" Jonathan tossed me a pillow and a blanket when I laid down on the couch for the night "are you gonna be warm enough?"

I smiled getting situated "yeah ill be fine" I laid my head down as Jonathan moved to the lights

"Alright then (y/n)..goodnight.."
