The final bell ran and kids rushed out of there classrooms. There was suppose to be an afternoon basketball game that most people would attend. Steve Harrington, his crew, his girlfriend, and one of her friends would be few of the many that planned on going. Earlier that day Nicole had discovered what she thought was the truth about the oldest Byers child. While developing pictures she had taken for a class she had ran into Jonathan Byers. Jonathan was also developing photos. Not being able to keep her curiousness hidden she looked over at his pictures. She furrowed her eyebrows as she saw that the pictures were of last night when Steve Harrington had a small get together with his friends. Afterwords she ran to tell Steve what she'd seen.
Steve and his friends were waiting at the end of Jonathans car to confront him about what Nicole had seen. Steve's girlfriend was gathering her stuff from her locker with her best friend Nancy Wheeler. Jonathan walked out of the school building and towards his car. He didn't think to much about the bullies that were gathered around his car until he got closer and started to realize they wouldn't be leaving. He could hear them chatting as he got closer to the car. Steve looked up and instantly noticed Jonathan. He reset his posture and kept his hands shoved in his pockets.
"Hey, man." Steve said with fake enthusiasm. Jonathan looked up at Steve but slightly kept his back turned as if to shield himself from from the bully.
"What's going on?" Jonathan asked quietly. Steve replied immediately and him and his friends walked closer to Jonathan.
"Nicole here was just telling us about your work." He said.
"We've heard great things." One of the girls, Carol, said. Jonathan started to grow nervous as he clutched the strap of his backpack.
"Yea sounds cool." Tommy said sarcastically. Steve took a step towards Jonathan but didn't get a reaction out of the nervous boy.
"We'd just love to take a look as," Steve paused, "connoisseurs of art." Jonathan took a courageous step forward and started walking towards his car.
"I don't know what your talking about." Jonathan said nervously but continued to walk forwards.
"Oh no?" Steve said and Tommy stepped forwards and grabbed one of the straps on Jonathans backpack. Tommy yanked the backpack off Jonathans shoulders making him spin around.
"Yea?" Tommy said mockingly. Jonathan ran towards Tommy and attempted to get his backpack but failed since Tommy stepped back a couple of steps away from him.
"Please give me my bag." Jonathan pleaded but Tommy just threw his bag to Steve who held it. Steve looked at the bag and fiddled with it as he started walking towards the trunk of the car. Meanwhile Y/N and Nancy were walking out of the school trying to find there friends.
"So," Nancy dragged out, "how are things going with you and Steve?" Y/N laughed.
"Great actually." She smiled.
"You still want to go to the basketball game tonight?" Nancy asked as she scanned the crowd looking for Y/N's newer friends.
"Yea, I'm not sure if I really want to go or not. I'm kind of only going because Steve wants to go." Y/N sighed as she too scanned the crowd.
"Why don't you ask if you two can just hang out later on?" Nancy asked but then she spotted Steve but he wasn't near his car he was near Jonathans car? "Hey what's Steve doing near Jonathans car?" Nancy pointed out to where she saw Steve. Y/N narrowed her eyes towards her boyfriend and his friends as they pushed Jonathan around.
"I'm," Y/N paused "not sure. Lets go see." The two friends started towards the group and as they got closer they could hear their conversation.
"Oh man, he's like totally trembling. He must really have something to hide." Steve sneered "Kay here we go." He paused as he pulled pictures out of Jonathans bag. "Ah here we go. Oh man." Steve started to go through the pictures becoming more and more disgusted as he looked at them. Tommy rushed over to Steve's side and peering over his shoulder.
"Let me see." Tommy said. Steve handed him about half of the pictures while he rolled up the half he had in his hands. Tommy's face turned into one that showed disgust. "Dude." He said while looking up at Jonathan. Carol rushed over to the other side of Steve and Tommy handed her half of his stack. Carol to showed disgust.
"Yea that's not creepy at all." Carol said.
"I was looking for my brother." Jonathan rushed out. Y/N and Nancy had reached the group and examined the scene.
"No, no this is called stalking." Steve said in anger and pointed to the pictures Carol had in her hands with the rolled up pictures he had.
"Steve, what's going on?" Y/N asked. Everyone turned towards the two girls except for Jonathan who just looked down.
"Well there's the staring lady!" Tommy exclaimed
"What?" Y/N asked confused. Carol took one of the pictures and handed it to Y/N.
"This creep was spying on us last night. He was probably going to save this one for later." Carol sneered. Y/N took the picture out of Carols hand and looked at it. Her eyes went wide and her mouth gaped open. It was a picture of her with her shirt off, her back facing the widow. It was from last night in Steve's bedroom while they were changing their clothes because they had jumped into the pool. Nancy placed a hand on Y/N's shoulder.
"See you can tell he knows what he did was wrong but," Steve paused and started to walk towards Jonathan, "that's the thing about perverts its hardwired into them. They just cant help themselves." Then he started to rip up the pictures. "So we're just going to have to take away his toy." He threw the pictures into the air and they landed in front of Jonathan who looked towards Steve who was now walking towards the car.
"Steve." Nancy said sternly. She was trying to comfort her friend who clutched the picture she had in her hand tightly. Steve ignored Nancy and continued towards the car. He grabbed the camera that was in Jonathans bag.
"No, please no, not the camera!" Jonathan tried to rush at Steve but Tommy pushed him back.
"No, no, no, hey, Tommy, it's okay." Steve turned around and walked towards Jonathan. "Here you go man." He said and stretched out his hand to give Jonathan the camera. Jonathan seemed hesitant but still reached for the camera. Right before Jonathan could grasp the camera Steve tipped the camera out of his hand so that it fell to the ground. When the camera hit the concrete it made a terrible crashing sound. Only then did Y/N look up from the picture. Her eyes were glossy while Jonathan starred sadly at the now broken camera. Her head snapped over to Tommy as he laughed.
"Come on lets go. The games about to start." Steve said as he walked over towards Y/N. Nicole walked towards the gym while Carol and Tommy ripped up the pictures that were left and threw them at Jonathan. After that they both followed Nicole towards the gym. Steve placed a hand on Y/N's shoulder and her head snapped up to look at him. Nancy's hand had dropped off Y/N's shoulder and clutched her bag.
"Come on." Steve said softly towards Y/N. He took her hands in his and gently pried them away from the picture that she still had clutched tightly in her hands. She looked at him, her eyes filled with sadness. He glanced down at the picture that he now had in his hands and then back up to Y/N. He took the picture and ripped it up better then he had any of the other ones and threw it on the ground. "Come on, lets go to the game." Steve lightly turned her shoulders towards the school and put an arm around her shoulders. They both started to walk towards the gym. Nancy stayed behind and looked at the pictures scattered across the ground.
"Steve?" Y/N asked quietly. He turned his head towards her and hummed in response. "Could we just," she paused and thought before she continued "could we go to your house?" Steve looked puzzled.
"I thought you wanted to go." He said.
"I know I just- after- look never mind." She said stumbling over her words. He squeezed her shoulders lightly.
"No look I get it. If you don't want to go we don't have to. We can head back to my place and watch a movie." He smiled.
"You sure? I know that you wanted to go." She said and looked down.
"Yes, now lets go." He laughed and they headed towards his dads car. As they drove Y/n started to slowly drift off to sleep. Steve looked over to her because he felt the grip she had on his hand loosen. He smiled when he saw that she was fighting not to fall asleep. He loved how it was so easy for her to fall asleep in the car.
"Go to sleep, babe." He said sweetly as he looked back towards the road. He started to run his thumb over her knuckles and she mumbled something that he couldn't even understand.
"What?" He laughed.
"I muv you." She mumbled, making Steve smile wide.
"I love you too." He smiled and squeezed her hand. She lightly squeezed back.
Time Skip to Steve's house
Steve stopped the car in his driveway and looked over at Y/N who was sleeping in the passenger seat. He got out of the car and walked around to her side. He opened the door and leaned down so he could see inside the car. Then he reached around her and unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Hey, Y/N, you have to help me out here." He laughed as he hooked his arms under her torso and knees. She grumbled and grabbed the front of his shirt just like babies clutch the front of shirts. He brought her into the house and walked upstairs to his bedroom. When he reached his bed he did his best to pull back the covers and place Y/N gently under them.
"Steve." She whined when she felt the absence of Steve's arms around her.
"Okay, okay." He laughed, claimed under the covers next to her and pulled the covers over the both of them. Steve scooted closer to Y/N and let her curl up into his side.
There they both fell asleep enjoying the feeling of being in each other's arms.
