I wish we could have seen Steve and Jonathan's friendship unfold way earlier like when Jonathan and Nancy were together. Steve and Jonathan are just hanging out together practically all the time. Nancy's super jealous and it doesn't help that Steve keeps joking about stealing her boyfriend because half the time he does steal her boyfriend. She does secretly hope they get together and that she gets to see it but there's a solution.

Nancy wants to be a stupid teenager sometimes, she wants to let loose and have fun. She really wanted to go to Tina's party and enjoy herself. She worked hard on those costumes with Steve, who didn't have to force her to do it because she likes Tom Cruise and Risky Business. But once again, she got reminded, really reminded of what happened to Barb. It really sucks she didn't get to enjoy herself that night, and it really sucks that people think it's Steve's fault but really no one likes to see the side of Nancy who wants to occasionally be a stupid teenager. Some people just don't like the fact that there's a part of Nancy who wants to party too, just like there's a part of Jonathan who wants to be a stupid teenager, too. I like the idea of Steve bringing that side out of each of them. There's nothing wrong with having a little fun especially if you do it responsibly and God, if anyone deserved to be stupid teenagers just for one fucking night, it's them especially Jonathan who sacrificed his childhood and most of his teenage years to look after his mother and brother. I really wish that Halloween night had gone differently for all three of them.

Can you imagine how this scene could have gone if Stoncy were established during this scene? (Let's say Steve stayed behind to look after the kids.) Nancy and Jonathan are tipsy but they're trying not to give it away as Murray goes on about how they should be together. But they burst into giggles when Murray goes "We like Steve, but we don't love Steve." And giggling they go "But we dooooo!" Then Jonathan promptly throws up on Murray's feet because that boy's a lightweight and he can't hold his liquor (and because Murray deserves it).

Imagine in a another universe, Nancy dressed as Joel, and Steve dressed as Lana at Tina's party. Nancy in the sunglasses and blazer. . .Steve in the blouse and skirt with his makeup done right. Jonathan watching them with a Pikachu face and then going up to them.

"When you said you were going as Joel and Lana from Risky Business. . ."

"What?" Steve scoffed. "You didn't think I could pull off a skirt?"

Alarm bells went off in Jonathan's head as he imagined what Steve was wearing under his skirt. Not just Nancy. . .who looked just as good in the blazer and sunglasses.

Stoncy thoughts: What if Jonathan didn't throw away the pink sweater? The pink sweater with the blue flowers on them that Nancy wore in the happy smiling photographs with that he discovered she still kept. What if Jonathan kept it and held it tightly, imagining what it would it was like to be Nancy and dating Steve Harrington so openly without worrying about what everyone thought. . .what if he had been a little more honest with Nancy?

The more I think about it the more Jonathan's sarcastic comment about Steve being in charge doesn't make sense because like, half the time he himself was getting high with Argyle. It's just one of those moments I guess where Jonathan needed to make a jealous snide comment about Steve. Meanwhile, Steve was asking out Nancy and Jonathan while they were in the Creel house. Although, now that I think about it, Steve getting offended when he hears about it:

"And after I asked you and Nancy out!"

"What? That was you asking us both out?!" Nancy asked.

"Well, yeah, I used Robin to cover it up just in case you thought it was stupid," Steve said.

"You only mentioned me in the RV, though," Nancy said.

"No, I was sure I mentioned Jonathan, too," Steve said.

"No, just me," Nancy said.

"No, I said the important part of the dream was that you were there," Steve said.

"Yeah, just me!" Nancy exclaimed.

"I was talking about you and Jonathan!"

"Well, you should have just said that!" Nancy exclaimed.

"I thought it was heavily implied that I was in love with Jonathan, too!" Steve exclaimed, throwing his hands up.

"How was I supposed to figure that out?!" Nancy yelled.

"When I asked you and Jonathan out!"

"It wasn't very clear!" She screamed.

"Okay, well, the important part of that dream. . .about all of it is that you and Jonathan were there!" Steve yelled. "Is that clear enough for you?!"

"Yes!" Nancy yelled.

Steve and Nancy stared at each other, breathing heavily before bursting into laughter. Finally, after they finished laughing, they turned to Jonathan.

"You're in love with me?!" Jonathan asked, dumbfounded.

"God, Jonathan, wasn't it obvious?!" Nancy asked sarcastically before giggling.

"Okay, before we move onto the RV which is far into the future. . .there's one very important question that you both need to answer, do you guys want to go out with me?" Steve asked, his hands on his hips.

Nancy and Jonathan stared at each other before smiling.

"Yes!"

"I'm sorry, Steve, I never should have doubted you. . .of course, it wouldn't be so terrible if you were in charge," Jonathan said.

"Hm, I don't know if I should forgive you or not. . .I think the apology might be better in the form of a kiss," Steve said, puckering his lips.

Jonathan smiled, placing his hand on the back of his neck before moving close to Steve. His lips were nearing his before suddenly pulling back and placing a kiss on Nancy's lips. Steve gasped while Nancy laughed.

"You didn't say it had to be you I had to kiss," Jonathan said.

"It was implied!" Steve yelled and then whined. "Nancy, our boyfriend is an asshole!"

So, at what point do you think that Steve assumed that Jonathan was interested in him? Maybe he thought that Jonathan was somehow using his trick of pretending not to care. I mean, he was at his house taking those pictures, it was Steve's room. . .then of course, there's afterwards when he occasionally catches Jonathan staring at him and Nancy. Maybe he assumes that Nancy told Jonathan that the camera was from Steve. Of course, then Steve realizes he cares a little bit too much and he spends time panicking between "Oh my god, I like Jonathan" and "but I like Nancy!" Later with the whole bullshit thing, he starts to panic and think that Nancy sees right through him and that she knows he's been pining for someone else but then he realizes he thinks she doesn't love him (you'll never get me to believe that Nancy never loved Steve) and he realizes that he does actually love her but he actually loves Jonathan, too but he's also dealing with the fact that Nancy thinks they're to blame for Barb's death. He quickly tells Jonathan to take Nancy home because if someone deserves to be with Jonathan, Steve thinks it's Nancy. The whole thing where Steve tells Nancy that her other boyfriend drove her home is Steve being a jealous bitch because he wishes that Jonathan was their boyfriend but then later he doesn't want to make it even more complicated for Nancy because she's already feeling a shit ton of guilt. So he tells her that he's a shitty boyfriend and that it's okay, that she should be with Jonathan because he gets it. He understands what it's like to be in love with Jonathan, too. He's convinced himself, though that Jonathan and Nancy could never love him back.

I like to imagine Nancy and Jonathan working at a newspaper or hell, even opening their own PI office. Steve works there part-time but he's actually a hairdresser which he loves. A lot of times he brings home really great gossip, Nancy doesn't even bother trying to pretend like she doesn't love hearing about it. Jonathan, on the other hand, tries hard not to get invested but secretly he loves hearing about the messed-up lives of the homophobic assholes who talked shit about his own family. Let's face it, Nancy would love fucking a barber. . .she loves the intimacy of Steve doing her hair in their shared home. Jonathan likes to play hard to get with Steve and insists on cutting his own hair with Steve vowing one day to get his hands on it. They've got dogs and cats, the RV is sitting in the driveway whenever they're ready for an adventure which they plan as often as they can get. The best thing about their lives is the fact that they no longer have to fight monsters, they choose what kind of chaos they want to bring into their lives.
