Jonathan Byers x Reader

This One-Shot takes place during the week Will was missing, when Jonathan hears screaming while taking pictures in the woods.

Y/N is Your Name
H/C is hair colour
F/C is Favourite Colour

"Y/N?!" You heard Jonathan, your best friend, call. "Over here!" You call, coming or from behind a tree, gripping your F/C camera. Jonathan and you were in the woods, taking photos.

"Y/N, please don't go out of eyeshot." Jonathan sighed, gripping his camera in one hand, the other hand running through his hair.

You instantly felt bad. Jonathan had lost his brother a few days ago. He couldn't loose you too. "Sorry.." you apologized.

Jonathan had been your best friend since you met each other in middle school. You had just moved to Hawkins from Edmonton, Canada. You had moved for two reasons. One, your dad's work transferred him. Second, you had been bullied for a majority of your elementary years.

When you first transferred to Hawkins Middle School, the only person who talked to you was Jonathan, due to the fact you both had an interest in photography. However, even back then, Steve wasn't nice to Jonathan, and was urged on by Tommy and Carol.

The first day you saw Jonathan get picked on, you froze and hid around the corner, bad memories flooding back from your elementary years. However, the instant Steve, Tommy and Carol left, you had ran to his side.

At first, Jonathan was mad you didn't help him, but when you explained why, he understood completely. From that day forth, whenever Steve picked on Jonathan, you were always there to whisper calming messages into his ear, calming Jonathan down and occasionally sassing Steve and his friends.

Jonathan gave you a small smile and looked around the forest, searching for a good shot.

Suddenly, the two of you heard a loud scream. Jonathan and you exchanged looks. Nothing needed to be said. Both of you ran towards the direction of the scream as fast as you could.

Jonathan was only a little faster than you were, so he beat you to the skirts of the forest. He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

You gazed over Jonathan's shoulder to see what was there, and you sighed along with him.

Tommy, one of Steve's friends, was pretending to throw his girlfriend Carol into the pool. "Tommy! Put me down!" Carol shrieked. Tommy laughed and put her down next to him. She hit his shoulder, and that was it.

You looked around at the forest around you, still trying to find a good nature shot, until you heard the SPLASH sound of somebody falling into the pool. You focused your attention there instead.

Tommy had pushed Carol into the pool, and he had jumped in with her, with Nancy and Steve right behind.

You noticed Jonathan next to you readying his camera for a photo. You watched silently as Jonathan took several photos of the unknowing teens.

"Jonathan, I don't think you should be taking those.." you say, hesitantly. Jonathan looked at you.

"Why Y/N?"

Sighing at Jonathan's arrogance, you say, "This is basically stalking, Jonathan! You could get arrested if anyone finds the photos." You warn him.

Jonathan sighed deeply, running a hand over the smoothness of his camera. You knew his camera was his prized possession. He almost never let it out of his sight, and he usually never let anyone touch it.
