Chapter 1

It was hard to tell how it had started. After the incident, Will's mother refused to allow Will to head home alone so Jonathan would come and pick the boys up after their weekly Dungeons & Dragons game. Nancy's parents were in agreement and so it became part of the weekly ritual. Saturday morning Will, Dustin, and Lucas would show up and head downstairs with Mike where they would spend most of the day in realities quiet. Steve would show up around 7:00 and join the family for supper before he and Nancy would spend the rest of the evening watching the TV in the den.

Originally, Nancy had been furious that he mother had forbidden her to leave the house for dates. She was sure Steve would never see her and feel incredibly uncomfortable under her mother's restrictions. Steve had proven her wrong. He enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Wheeler household and was a perfect gentleman in the presence of Nancy's parents. In fact, Steve became so well liked and trusted by her parents that they would frequently retire to their room and leave the teenagers alone if one of the boy's games ran late.

It was because of this that Nancy became the default host to Jonathan for the few minutes while he waited for Will, Lucas, and Dustin. Usually he was timely, arriving only a minute or two before the end of a game. As summer drew nearer that changed.

"Hey." Jonathan smiled at Nancy as she opened the door, looking quickly at his feet when she smiled back.

"Hey!" She grinned back at him, holding the door wide as he stepped inside. "I think they're just finishing up."

"Hey Jonathan." Steve waved from the couch in the den before turning back to the TV.

Jonathan waved back with an uncomfortable smile and Nancy punched his arm.

"I saw that." She pointed to his face. "He's trying."

Jonathan shifted awkwardly and gave her a remorseful look.

She knew how hard it was for him to see her with Steve after all that happened. After the battle at Jonathan's house she had been torn for weeks about what to do about her relationship with Steve and the growing feelings between her and Jonathan. In the end she had tried to ignore the feelings, but even months later they still seemed to bubble just below the surface.

She turned and called toward the basement. "Jonathan's here!"

There was a rapid thumping of feet on the stairs and Mike poked his head around the corner.

"We still have like an hour left!" He protested.

Nancy sighed in exasperation and threw up her hands.

"Please?" The other three boys called in unison from downstairs.

Nancy looked at Jonathan. He shrugged and she turned back to Mike and rolled her eyes good naturedly. He was pounding back down the stairs before Nancy had even turned back to Jonathan.

"Want something to eat? Steve and I were just about to make popcorn."

"Sure."

Jonathan was still standing uncertainly by the door in his denim jacket. He was looking at his shoes again.

"Hey," Nancy touched his arm gently and he jumped slightly at the contact. "Why don't you join Steve. We're watching an old Knight Rider."

Jonathan mumbled something.

"He does like you." Nancy insisted quietly, fully aware that Steve could still hear if he tried. "He's not that guy anymore." She kissed him lightly on the cheek and he blushed deeply.
