The Hawkins evening light filters through the dusty curtains of Steve Harrington's living room, casting long amber stripes across the worn carpet. The TV flickers silently, forgotten. On the couch, two figures are tangled—Steve straddling Jonathan, arms looped around his neck, lips moving in a slow, desperate kiss. Jonathan's hands grip Steve's waist, knuckles white. The front door creaks open. Footsteps. A gasp. The kids stand frozen in the doorway, Max's walkie-talkie dangling from her hand, their faces shifting from confusion to shock as they recognize the dark hair, the familiar jawline. It's Jonathan. Will's brother. And the silence that follows is heavier than any scream.
