And... Nah I won't spoil.

The next day, Jonathan woke up on the couch. He felt better than yesterday and decided to go to school. He ran to his kitchen and saw the one person he didn't want it see. Lonnie. "Hey, I saw you with your boyfriend yesterday." Jonathan froze. "He's not-" Lonnie cut him off by punching him right in the eye. "What did I say about being a homosexual?!" Jonathan winced and his eye stung. "It's- it's gross." Lonnie pushed him away and he grabbed his backpack and ran.

At school, he fell against his locker. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist. It was Steve. "Steve.. You're acting like we're dating.." Jonathan turned around, breaking out of his grasp and giggled. "I mean maybe we could?" Steve responded. Jonathan blushed. "Wha-What?!" Steve brushed a hair from out of his face and put his hand on the locker, forcing Jonathan to be pressed against the locker. Steve put his hand on his eye. "What happened?" Steve asked. "I walked into a lamp post.." Jonathan lied. Steve moved his hand to Jonathan's cheek and started to lean in. He pressed their lips together. Jonathan was shocked. He closed his eyes and brought his hands up to Steve's cheeks. Their lips moved in sync and Steve pulled away after a few seconds. Jonathan's mouth hung open in shock. He pulled Steve into a hug and said "We can!' Steve hugged back, not caring what the surrounding students said when Steve was shoved to the ground by the one and only Tommy H. "Another fag? Jesus fucking christ." Jonathan froze against the locker.

"No surprise Byers but Harrington?!" Tommy finished and mockingly laughed. Steve stood up and swung his fist and Tommy, hitting him right in the nose. A teacher saw and sent both Jonathan and Steve to the principle and sent Tommy to the nurse for a puny (haven't used that word in years) bleeding nose. Steve scoffed as he and Jonathan sat on the chair in front of the principal.

"So what happened?" The principal asked. Steve looked at her and responded. "He was throwing insults at Jonathan, Ma'am." Steve politely replied. "What kind of insults?" She pressed. "Slurs miss.." Jonathan said with a small weak voice. "Homophobic slurs.. And some profanities." He shyly finished. Steve adored him when he was shy. He thought it was adorable. She scrunched her nose. "Is there a reason or?-" Steve loudly coughed and she glared at him. "So?" Steve and Jonathan shared a panicked look before Jonathan blurted out. "I'm homosexual." She gave him a look of sympathy and looked to Steve. "Are.. You?.." Steve gulped. "I'm bi.." He said as he looked down. She nodded and wrote into a notepad. "Thank you boys. He will be dealt with... You can go." They both decided to skip.

At Jonathan's, they walked in to see Joyce yelling at Lonnie with the phone in her hand. Jonathan gripped Steve's arm and dug his head into his shoulder. Steve watched as Lonnie yelled slurs about Will and Jonathan as Joyce tried to speak to the dispatcher. Joyce was yelling at him to get out when Lonnie turned around. "This is your boyfriend huh?" Steve pushed Jonathan behind him. Lonnie came up so close, Steve could smell the alcohol. "Yes. I am." Steve replied. Lonnie laughed. "Both of my sons.. BOTH OF THEM!" Steve stepped back, keeping his grip on Jonathan's sweater. "I want to have this family continued. Biologically." Lonnie said as he stepped closer. He pulled his fist back, ready to punch when Hopper burst in.

"Oh thank God Hopper!" Joyce praised as Hopper dragged Lonnie Byers away. Steve turned around to Jonathan and Jonathan stood on his tippy toes and kissed Steve as a victory kiss. It lasted about 4 seconds before they realised Joyce standing there grinning. They both softly smiled and headed to the couch.
