Steve Harrington is the most queerplatonic/poly-coded character alive though. Suggesting that he AND Jonathan should go bring Nancy flowers together? You just know he and Tommy did the exact same thing with Carol, and so Steve sees absolutely nothing unusual about this at all.
I don't go here but before Tommy and Carol actually get together, she fools around with both Tommy and Steve (usually when they're all together) and she tells them that if either of them want to fuck her, they have to fuck each other first.
They're both just desperate enough to agree, so they flip a coin to see who ends up on bottom, and it's Steve.
The whole experience kind of changes his life a little, because- he really likes it. Even Tommy telling him "God, Steve, you sound like such a girl right now with all that whining" only makes him more into it.
After, they each get their turn to fuck Carol (after Tommy washes his dick, at Carol's demand) but after being fucked, for Steve it's just... Okay. He hopes that maybe after this they might become a little triad, the three of them together, but Tommy asks out Carol and they actually become official, a clear division between them and Steve.
Steve is kind of upset about it, but he lets it be, and goes out with a few girls until he sees some crude graffiti about Eddie Munson scrawled across one of the bathroom stalls. And maybe he's just desperate enough to be fucked again that he takes the risk of asking.
(He doesn't expect to come out of the scenario with a new boyfriend, but he's not going to complain. Especially because said boyfriend fucks him even better than Tommy did.)

Love the idea of Steve sitting with Nancy&Jonathan at lunch after his fight with Tommy&Carol, leaving everyone to gossip about how maybe Nancy didn't leave Steve for Jonathan. Maybe it's that Steve prefers being the third to a strong-knit couple.
The rumors only get worse when Jonathan moves away and everyone sees Steve and Nancy drift apart afterwards.
Except people start noticing him hanging out with Robin Buckley more, which is already weird, but then the two fold in Eddie Munson of all people; well, no one saw that coming.
i don’t care what anyone says, i KNOW steve was hungover in that alleyway in season 1
you cannot tell me that stomarol didn’t get slaughtered the night before, ending up in tommy coming up with the “best idea for revenge ever”
steve was stood in that alley, with what he thought was the worst headache in the world (about to get so much worse lmao) regretting all his life choices
