♥♥♥
Note: I binge watched stranger things and I’m such Jonathan trash…I love that sweet pumpkin so much. Here is a small drabble of him. This doesn’t necessarily follow the stranger things plot…but eh. If you want more Jonathan, please read over the rules and leave a request! Feedback would be great ♥

You nervously stood in front of the Byers household, debating if you should knock. The presents in your arms were starting to tire you, so you gathered all the courage to knock. Before you can raise an arm to knock, the door flew open revealing the eldest of the two Byers siblings. Jonathan let out a small gasp at the sight of you and his gaze quickly fell to his feet.
“(Name), I didn’t expect you to come.” His voice wavered a little, but you dismissed that.
“Of course, I couldn’t let down your invitation to come over. Especially when it’s you.” You said the last part in a murmur, hoping he didn’t catch that. His mouth twitched up in a smile and he looked up at you, noticing the presents in your arms.
“Let me help you with that.” He reached for the presents and you were left empty handed. Jonathan opened the door wider for you to come in and you slowly made your way in. The house smelled exactly like him. It was a welcoming smell. He placed the presents under the tree and he stood there with hands in his pockets. His mom came into the living room, face lighting up at the sight of you.
“(Name)! Sweetie, it is so good to see you!” Joyce instantly had her arms around you, hugging you tightly. You returned the affection telling her it was great to see her also.
“Jonathan was getting nervous he wasn’t going to see you today.” Joyce nudged your side.
“Mom!” Jonathan exclaimed, while hiding his face. You blushed, but chuckled at his embarrassment. He was too cute for words.
“Is Will here?” You asked, looking around for the boy.
“Actually, Jonathan was about to go pick him up from the Wheeler’s house. Go with him, I’ll have the food ready by the time you three come back.” She patted your arm and made her way to the kitchen. Jonathan glanced up at you and you gestured for you two to go. He nodded and walked to the door motioning you to follow him. You two made it to his car and there was no exchange of words until he drove to the main road.
“I hope you like the present I got you.” You awkwardly started.
“I-I also got you something.” He shyly glanced at you and then back to the road.
Ever since you two confessed to each other about your feelings, it has become awkward. You both were nervous on how to have a step further in a relationship, in which you two haven’t experienced. Joyce took notice of both your behaviors and always teased you two. Having been friends since elementary, being this quiet was strange.
You two arrived at the Wheeler’s household, both getting off to greet them. Steve opened the door, surprising you.
“Harrington?” You questioned.
“Hey, (Name)…and Jonathan.” He pointed at the two of you with a suggestive smirk. You rolled your eyes, pushing him aside. His childish ways will never die. Nancy came to view and smiled warmly at you.
“Hey, Nance!” You ran to hug her and whispered, “Should’ve left Steve.” You laughed at her expression when you pulled away. She punched your arm and gave in to the laughing fit.
“I don’t know what you two are laughing about, but I’m going to go back and talk to my father-in-law.” Steve walked away winking at Nancy. You shook your head at his non-sense. Jonathan slid past you to get Will and you stayed with Nancy.
“So…how are things with Jon?” Nancy wiggled her eyebrows.
“Oh, not you too!” You covered a small laugh and playfully glared at her.
“Hey, you haven’t updated since the confession.” She shrugged.
“How about I update you on new years?” You said, holding her small shoulders. Nancy frowned, wanting more dish on your relationship with Jonathan. Speaking about him, he bid goodbye to Nancy’s parents and Will right behind him.
“Tell your parents I said Merry Christmas! I’ll see you all on New Years.” You rubbed her shoulders and waved goodbye. She waved at the three of you and closed the door after you all left.
“Will! My little munchkin, how did the game go?” You asked the twelve-year-old. He smiled up at you and rambled on his game with the boys. You carefully listened and made little comments here and there. You loved this boy to death. Jonathan listened to the whole thing, trying to focus on driving home. When you two got to the house, Jonathan told Will to go in and help his mom. Will agreed and got off the car leaving you and Jonathan alone.
“(Name), I actually your present here with me.” You saw him reach for something in his pocket, revealing a small box. He quickly handed it to you, motioning you to open it. You slowly started unwrapping the small box and it unveiled a necklace with a heart. You gasped and look up at him. He shyly looked your way, hoping you liked it.
“Jonathan…” You were speechless. He beamed at your reaction and quickly took a hold of the necklace, wanting you to wear it already. You turned away, holding your hair allowing him to put it on. Once it clipped, you let your hair down and studied the beautiful necklace. You turned around to face him and instantaneously hugged him.
“Thank you, I love it so much.” You told him and pulled away, arms still around him. He didn’t have time to say something before you placed a kiss on his lips. Jonathan jumped in astonishment, but soon melted into the kiss. He couldn’t fully enjoy the kiss before you pulled away, smiling at him.
“Thank you.”
He liked the way your lips felt and he leaned in for another kiss. You didn’t stop him and you kept giving him pecks on the lips.
“Let’s go inside before your mom and Will start worrying.” You giggled at his pouting face.
When you two arrived inside, Joyce and Will stared at you two knowingly.
“Alright, lovebirds. Dinner is ready.” Joyce raised an eyebrow at you two. You gave a nervous glance at Jonathan and you both let out a small laugh.
