“Not tempted to go cut a rug to—” He paused for a moment, listening to the song now playing. “The Captain and Tennille?” He gave the other a crooked, tentative smile.

        not   that   they   weren’t   civil   to   each   other   ---   the   return   of   the   monsters   prompted   an   emergency   truce   for   the   two   .   for   the   sake   of   jonathan’s   brother   and   the   lives   of   everyone   they   loved   ,   jonathan   and   steve   ,   for   lack   of   a   better   term   ,   shut   their   fucking   mouths   .   but   now   that   the   immediate   danger   was   gone   (   keyword   :   immediate   )   jonathan   was   left   feeling   odd   .   he   needed   to   talk   to   steve   .

     it’s hard to think how recently they were a couple, and how broken their relationship has become. back then, nancy would never have imagined the stress that broke them apart. but her life is complicated now, filled with government conspiracies and tears in reality. what she doesn’t need is having him on her list of enemies, or vice versa. letting out a breath, nancy steels herself towards steve’s direction. she hadn’t planned on running into him in town, but she supposes it’s now or never. “ s-steve ? can i uhm-- do you have a sec-- how, uhm, how are you ? ” / @kingofbats

        but   she   had   to   be   brave   ---   or   pretend   like   she   was   .   as   nancy   stepped   out   onto   the   familiar   street   after   spending   far   too   long   at   the   little   bookstore   ,   and   she   was   immediately   struck   by   something   .   not   the   wind   ,   but   the   figure   of   someone   tall   and   familiar   .   steve   ,   of   course   .  her   heart   s k i p p e d  . 

baaaaabe <3 this is so sweet, ty so much! ily2, thank you for always bringing the stancy feels into my life. you are such a gem and a warm soul

"maybe not to you, romeo, but some people are more restrained with their affection.” she wasn’t really one of those people but hey, they existed. carol took a sip from the beer can she had just plucked from steve’s hand as she spoke. it was comon for carol to be eating or drinking from whatever steve had. for a group of assholes they shared amongst themselves quite a bit. “kisses are a big deal for most girls. it’s no surprise everyone assumed you two are a thing now.” she said as she handed the can back.

             he’s not really sure WHAT to say. things had always been awkward between both of them - tense. hand moves to rub at the nape of his neck, and jonathan shrugs his shoulders slightly. “uh, hey. steve.”
