Freak// Stonathan Fanfic

Jonathan Byers had spent his whole Highschool life being treated and labled as a "Freak". He was quite, lonely.... a very easy target for Steve Harrington and his group of freinds. Now that Jonathan is finally a senior, everything is starting to weigh on him, especially after the dissapearence of his little brother Will.

Soon, Jonathan develops an unlikely friendship with Nancy Wheeler, who happens to be the girl who Steve is "talking" to. In hopes to cheer her new friend up, Nancy invites Jonathan to a Halloween party being hosted by none other than Steve Harrington himself. Though Jonathan was against it at first, his overwhelming want of wanting to be normal for just one night had won him over. As the night blurs drink after drink, anger naturally starts to become reckless and the lines between attraction and resentment clash. This is when one drunken moment begins to change everything.

This night became something Steve would never admit and a night Jonathan would never forget.

That same night Jonathan is haunted by a nightmare, a shadow figure looms over him as it watches the black dust flood through Jonathan's eyes and mouth. Jonathan soon wakes up gasping for breath thinking it just had to only be a nightmare... He was far from wrong.

This night wouldn't just bind Jonthan and Steve together secretly, but something dark had awoke that night, that had left Jonathan carrying a new... unknown... life.

Fear begins to wash over the two for completely different reasons. Now, Jonathan dealing with the grief of his little brother, buried feelings, and now a new supernatural horror is going to have to find a way to navigate it, with or without people beside him.

Sometimes the scariest monsters aren't the ones in your nightmares, they tend to be closer than you think.....
