@ittybittylittlebit-hot liked for a starter ( from Steve for Jonathan )
If you'd asked Steve a couple years back if he'd ever be friends with the oldest Byers kid, he would have laughed in your face. Hard. They were total opposites. One being the socially awkward boy, the other one being the popular socialite. But somehow along the way, during everything that had happened at Hawkins, they'd found some common ground.
But this...this was something new all together.
Not the getting into a fight part, that was not new at all. Steve Harrington always got into fights. What's new is that instead of driving home to tend to his wounds and his slightly bruised ego. He found himself sitting in his car, parked on the other side of the street of the Byers' house. He'd stopped because his seatbelt had been hurting his ribs, but now he couldn't make himself start up the car again. Instead he clapped open the rearview mirror in front of him and looked at his bruised face, wincing. Yeah...it was pretty bad.
