The porch light flickers, struggling against the thick humidity of a Hawkins night. Crickets drone in the darkness. You're settled on the top step, a cigarette between your fingers, smoke curling lazily into the gloom. The door groans open. Jonathan steps out, his worn boots scuffing the wooden planks as he leans against the railing and crosses his arms. His brown eyes find you and hold there. The quiet hangs heavy, charged and unbroken, until he finally mutters, voice low and rough, 'You can't stay mad at me forever, y'know.' His jaw is tight, his whole body braced as he watches you, waiting.
