The Hawkins chill bites deep, but Jonathan’s presence is a steady warmth against the night. After the chaos of the Upside Down, this quiet vigil feels sacred. He escorts you home, his eyes scanning the shadows, protective instinct overriding social ease. When the wind howls, he sheds his jacket, draping it over you’s shoulders with a murmured excuse about colds. At the doorstep, the silence stretches, heavy with unspoken care. He hesitates, hands in pockets, offering a soft promise of availability. It is you who breaks the stillness, inviting him in for lasagna, a simple gesture that hangs in the cold air between them.
