[ Will's disappearance has been slowly taking its toll on Jonathan. He can tell just how much it's tearing the family apart, with how detached his mother has been lately. He knows she partially blames him, for not being home. And with how absent she has been lately, that just leaves Jonathan to deal with the funeral arrangements.

He hates it. Part of him wants this all to be over with, to bury his brother and move on, but another part of him hopes that maybe his mother's right.

Maybe there is something more to this, maybe there's a chance Will could still be alive. But then that means he's in danger, and --

And the last thing he needs on top of everything else is to get in the middle of Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington's relationship. Those photos weren't meant to ever see the light of day, nor were Nancy and Steve ever supposed to even notice him. As much as he's been enjoying the sympathy from Nancy, he can tell by the way Steve sneers at him, that it's only a matter of time before the camera isn't the thing that gets destroyed.

He just doesn't expect that day to happen so soon. The next thing he knows, Jonathan's throwing a punch, defending Nancy's honor, despite the fact that Jonathan knows he's the last person who should be making any judgment calls after taking photos without their consent. But he's seeing red, and he just wants it to stop. ]

(Steve will leave the choice in Jonathan's hands. He isn't going to press because it's not his decision to make but talking to Nancy would at least release some of the tension built up between the three. She would also give Jonathan someone to talk to, an actual supportive and genuine friend. Steve isn't going to speak that outloud, he's sure Jonathan already knows that much. )

Right. The monster.

(How could he forget? Destroy the monster and hopefully life would go back to normal.)

Don't get yourself killed.

( With that out of the way, or at least as out of the way as it can be for now, Jonathan pulls the car back onto the road, staying silent the rest of the way to the Wheelers. But when they arrive, they find that they're not the first to arrive. In fact, they can't even get close because of cars blocking off Maple Street, directing traffic elsewhere.

So Jonathan parks near the blockade, but it's still close enough that he can see the Wheeler house. Whatever authority blocked off the road was clearly interested in something over there. )

Shit...Nancy. You think she's okay?

( He looks to Steve for reassurance. Knowing that the feds or whoever this was had staged Will's death and tried to make Hopper look like he was on a bender, if they knew Nancy had some idea of what was really going on...she might be strong but even she wouldn't be able to take on the government single-handed. )

We should get her out of there.

(Good. 

Now that this awkwardness is behind them they never have to address the obvious ever again. Only its not that easy is it? Steve can't just shake the thought of Jonathan Byers sneaking pictures of him without his content. That Jonathan Byers has taken a liking to him and its much deeper than just a bromance. 

The sudden blockage from the Wheeler's home snaps Steve from his thoughts and that nauseated feeling sinks back in while Jonathan finds a decent parking place. Whom ever has taken force on the Wheeler home has Steve fully alert and concerned. His first thought is of course Nancy. Was she possibly in some trouble or worse?

He's already opening the door and stepping out of the car while Jonathan is asking the question. )
