STONATHAN WRITING GAME

Hello Stonathan fans! With just 3 weeks left until Stonathan Week, we wanted to help get some inspirational juices flowing with a little writing game that we are affectionately titling Stonathan Sundays. Every Sunday from now until Stonathan week we will post a list of dialogue prompts and challenge you to write a short (300-500 words) ficlet based on one (or more!) of the prompts.

Here are the prompts for our first Stonathan Sunday:

"I'm not staring, I'm admiring"

"Why do you care?"

"Seems like I'm always saving your ass."

"That is... literally illegal. You're describing something illegal."

"That sounds dangerous. I'm in."

"You didn't have to walk me home."

"Everyone's staring at us."

"You're not gonna tell me where we're going?"

Be sure to tag us in any ficlet you write and we'll reblog it!

Stonathan Week Day 2: Roommates - Slightly inspired by the video of Charlie Heaton and Joseph Quinn at an Arctic Monkeys concert together.

Steve overhearing Jonathan mention a one-night stand while playing Animal Crossing with Argyle gets him to ask the big question on his mind.

Do I Wanna Know?

written by @xirayn and @aibhlynn

Trying something new by writing screenplays rather than short stories. Feedback on this format appreciated.

INT. APARTMENT – JONATHAN’S BEDROOM – EVENING

A bedroom with a mix of modern and retro decor. It is lived in, but not cluttered. There are posters for the Arctic Monkey’s ‘Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino’ and ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ on the wall. A record player is set on a cube shelf with a milk crate of vinyl records beside a desk with dual monitors. A Nintendo Switch is set up in front of the smaller monitor. JONATHAN is leaned back in a computer chair with a gaming headset on and a controller in his hand. ANIMAL CROSSING is on the screen with characters that are obviously JONATHAN and ARGYLE fishing. JONATHAN’s character pulls up a horse mackerel.

JONATHAN

Great, another horse mackerel. They're barely even worth selling.

ARGYLE

(Through the headset)

Dude, catching the fish is not the goal.

JONATHAN

Maybe for you. I need a surgeon fish for my museum.

ARGYLE

You should have asked me, brochacho. I have, like, five of them in storage.

JONATHAN

That feels like cheating.

ARGYLE

If you say so, my dude.

On the screen, ARGYLE pulls up a moray eel.

ARGYLE

Score!

JONATHAN’s character gets another bite. It is an anchovy.

JONATHAN

Damn it.

KEVIN, an orange pig in a blue sailor suit complete with hat, comes on screen to seemingly watch them. ARGYLE laughs. JONATHAN glowers.

JONATHAN

Stop judging me, Kevin.

ARGYLE

Dude, are you still pining over Steve?

JONATHAN

I am not, nor was I ever, pining over Steve. I have Olivia around here somewhere for Nancy.

ARGYLE

If you say so, dude. Though, if you aren't looking to knock boots with that fine specimen of a man, I'll gladly take him off your hands.

JONATHAN

You and everyone else. He's out on another date tonight. He even wore his ‘lucky jeans’ that show everything.

ARGYLE

Man, my dude, for someone who says they aren't jealous, you sure are crushing the vibe with your jealousy.

There is a pause filled by the sound of ARGYLE taking a drink.

ARGYLE

Or is this about Eddie?

JONATHAN

What?

JONATHAN misses reeling in another fish.

JONATHAN

No. This isn't about Eddie. That was - It was just a hook-up after the concert last Saturday. And I'm not jealous or stuck on the fact I was supposed to go to that concert with Steve.

ARGYLE

My dude, your voice does not match your words. It's clear as day, you are hard for Harrington. Why did he miss the concert, anyway?

JONATHAN

A bachelorette party came into the bar when they were already slammed, so he offered to stay.

The fishing rod JONATHAN’s character is using breaks. JONATHAN puts his controller on the desk and scrubs his hand over his face.

JONATHAN

Fuck.

ARGYLE

Fuck because you banged Eddie and not Steve?

JONATHAN is quiet for a long moment, simply staring blankly at the screen. He finally heaves a sigh.

JONATHAN

(Quietly)

I don’t know. Maybe?

ARGYLE

If you could do it over again, would you pick Steve?

JONATHAN

If it wouldn’t mess up our friendship and my living situation or make my life extremely awkward?

JONATHAN hesitates before shaking his head and picking the controller back up.

JONATHAN

Yeah.

JONATHAN misses the sound of the door opening as STEVE comes home early. The LIVING SPACE of the open concept apartment is an eclectic mix that shows STEVE and JONATHAN have been sharing space for a few years. The large flat screen, a graduation gift from STEVE’s parents, is a prominent feature. There is also a record cabinet full of vinyls with a Fisher MC-4550 stereo and a bookcase with authors like Vonnegut and Gaiman. STEVE looks tired and irritated as he takes his shoes off to throw in the closet before heading to his room.

ARGYLE

You worry too much, my guy. Stop being indecisive or worrying he’ll be all weird about your fling with Eddie and get sloppy with your hot roomie.

JONATHAN

It was a drunk one-night stand, not a fling.

STEVE stops outside the partially open door, having heard JONATHAN say ‘drunk one-night stand’. He frowns, then looks guilty and decides to go get a drink from the kitchen where it will be harder to hear JONATHAN.

ARGYLE

One-night stand, fling, either way you boned the metalhead, man.

JONATHAN

I know that, flight just sounds like it was something more than sex.

ARGYLE

Fair

ARGYLE starts running his character in random patterns around JONATHAN’s character, who is doing idle animation as JONATHAN simply holds the controller.

ARGYLE

Was he at least good?

JONATHAN

He knew what he was doing.

ARGYLE

Come on, bro, give me the details of your sordid encounter with the guy across the hall. Eden will want a play by play and I have to please my goddess.

JONATHAN

My sex life is not your foreplay.

STEVE knocks over his cup when his attempt not to eavesdrop fails. Water spills over the tile as the cup clatters on the floor. The sound is loud enough that JONATHAN takes his headset off and turns his chair toward the door.

JONATHAN

Steve?

JONATHAN sets his headset on the desk and pokes his head out of his room. STEVE freezes as if he just got caught doing something wrong.

JONATHAN

How long have you been home?

STEVE

A few minutes.

STEVE grabs the cup and puts it in the sink before taking off his wet socks. He puts them on the floor after looking around to decide an acceptable spot and grabs a dish towel.

STEVE

She stood me up.

JONATHAN

That’s rough – Have you eaten yet?

STEVE

No. I came right home when I realized my date was a no show. Have you?

JONATHAN

No. I was going to warm up some leftover, but we can order a pizza. Let me just tell Argyle I’m done for the night, then I’ll clean that up while you put the order in.

STEVE

Okay. The usual from Enzo’s?

JONATHAN

Sure.

JONATHAN goes back into his room and puts the headset back on. He picks the controller up to log off.

JONATHAN

I’m done for the night. I’ll talk to you later, man.

ARGYLE

(In a teasing sing-song)

Have fun, dude.

JONATHAN goes to clean up the spill. STEVE is heading to his room in the background on the phone as he puts in his order. Once JONATHAN is done, he sits on the couch. STEVE emerges from his room shortly after in gym shorts and a tank top.

STEVE

So, did you have fun with your mystery guy?

JONATHAN

You mean the one-night stand I was talking to ARGYLE about?

STEVE

Yeah.

STEVE drops onto the couch and stares at the ceiling. JONATHAN looks at him thoughtfully

JONATHAN

I guess.

There is a long moment of silence. STEVE is obviously debating something while JONATHAN waits for his response. When STEVE finally speaks, he sounds small and keeps his eyes on the ceiling.

STEVE

Why him and not me?

This is very obviously not what JONATHAN was expecting for STEVE to say.

JONATHAN

What?

STEVE sits up enough to look at JONATHAN.

STEVE

Why him and not me? Fuck, dude, I've been trying to gauge your interest for months by wandering around shirtless in those side split shorts I wore to Pride last year.

JONATHAN

I thought that was because of the heat!

STEVE

At first, sure. Then I noticed you staring and thought maybe you were interested, so started doing it more, but you never said anything.

JONATHAN

Of course I didn't! We've been friends since high school. I'm not going to risk that for sex.

STEVE

(Quietly)

Not just sex.

JONATHAN

(Shocked)

What?

STEVE

It won't be just sex. At least, not for me.

JONATHAN

(Cautiously)

Me either.

STEVE laughs and shakes his head. JONATHAN joins him after a beat.

STEVE

Shit. We're both dumb.

JONATHAN

Yeah.

STEVE and JONATHAN look at each other with matching fond smiles. STEVE starts to move in, but JONATHAN’s smile falls and he shrinks back.

JONATHAN

It was Eddie.

STEVE stops. He doesn’t move back, though his smile is replaced by a look of confusion.

STEVE

Eddie across the hall?

JONATHAN nods.

STEVE

The same metalhead who drives you crazy by playing his music too loud?

JONATHAN

Yeah.

STEVE

When?

JONATHAN

After the concert last week. You couldn’t go, and I didn’t want to go alone, so I asked him.

STEVE sits back and rakes his fingers through his hair. He frowns.

STEVE

Yeah, okay. I can see why. Honestly, I’ve thought about it myself, I just – It kind of hurts that it wasn’t me. I’ve been pining after you for months now.

JONATHAN

It didn’t mean anything. We had a few drinks at the concert, then shared a joint after and –

JONATHAN shrugs.

STEVE

You don’t have to explain anything. I still wish it had been me, though.

JONATHAN

Maybe next concert if you don’t cancel on me.

STEVE leans in again, his voice taking on a teasingly seductive tone as he gets as close as he can without actually invading JONATHAN’s space. Everything about his body language invites JONATHAN to close the distance between them. JONATHAN appears unfazed.

STEVE

Are you seriously going to make me wait?

JONATHAN

At least a first date.

STEVE laughs. His phone rings and he picks it up.

STEVE

Challenge accepted.

(Answers phone.)

Hello. Yep. I’ll be right down.

STEVE hangs up. He heads for the door, opening the closet and putting on some flip-flops. Before he leaves, he turns back to JONATHAN.

STEVE

How about right now? We can do dinner and a movie.

JONATHAN rolls his eyes with a fond smirk.

JONATHAN

Fine, but you have to actually pay attention to the movie, and I’m not answering any questions until after the credits.

STEVE

Deal.

There is a smutty continuation to this that I was not able to edit in time. The entire thing will be up on AO3 when I get to it.

everyone likes to talk about jonathan being steve’s bisexual awakening but what about steve being jonathan’s bisexual awakening huh. what about the jarring realization, as he’s straddling steve’s hips and marking up that frustratingly pretty face and so full of pent up rage he’s shaking with it, that he wishes they ended up like this in a totally different way. the shame that’s been beaten into him from since he was a child tainting that realization even more, making him angrier both at himself and at steve, making him go too far. and even though he’s so pissed, he doesn’t actually think he wants to hurt steve this bad but he can’t stop because then he’d have to admit things he just can’t

#im attempting to work on the stonathan week thing but im having thoughts #this is wildly unrelated to my stonathan week thing except the occurrence of jonathan sitting in laps but im thinking about it anyway #i could be more in depth about it but i wont i’ll just suffer #stonathan #steve harrington #jonathan byers

Stonathan Week Day 5: Canon-Verse - In the aftermath of Starcourt, Jonathan leans on Steve for support.

written by @xirayn and @aibhlynn

Back to the screenplays. Feedback on this format appreciated. I may try writing it into an actual ficlet just for the format comparison.

Stay

EXT. STARCOURT MALL – PARKING LOT – NIGHT (AFTER THE ‘FIRE’)

WILL runs towards JOYCE from the back of the ambulance JONATHAN and NANCY are sitting in. STEVE comes up to the open door

STEVE How are you both holding up?

NANCY I’ve definitely been better.

JONATHAN stays silent, simply watching WILL hug their mother. STEVE glances over his shoulder then exchanges a concerned look with NANCY.

NANCY I need to check on MIKE.

NANCY touches JONATHAN’s shoulder to draw his attention. He offers her a small, tired smile.

JONATHAN Take him home if you can. Your mom is probably losing it.

NANCY You’ll be okay?

JONATHAN takes her hand to gently squeeze.

JONATHAN Yeah.

NANCY Alright. STEVE, don’t try to walk this off like last time.

STEVE gives NANCY a half-hearted salute as she gets out of the ambulance. He is absolutely planning to leave the moment he can.

STEVE 10-4, Captain.

NANCY gives him a tight-lipped, unimpressed frown, but goes to find MIKE after a last worried look at JONATHAN. STEVE waits for her to be out of earshot before speaking.

STEVE Do you want a ride home?

JONATHAN I am not letting you drive, much less getting in a car with you. Get up here.

JONATHAN moves over to make room for STEVE.

STEVE I can drive. The world's not that blurry anymore.

STEVE tries to climb into the ambulance, but ends up stumbling and ending up at JONATHAN’s feet.

JONATHAN Sure. Come here.

JONATHAN reaches down to help STEVE onto the bench beside him. STEVE's blanket has fallen away, so JONATHAN shares his. After a moment, JONATHAN leans against STEVE and his body loosens as he finally allows himself to let his guard down.

JONATHAN Everything hurts.

STEVE chuckles. He tilts his head to rest it against JONATHAN’s

STEVE My hair hurts. I don’t even know how that’s possible.

JONATHAN We'll have to shave it off. It’s the only solution.

STEVE Maybe.

JONATHAN starts to laugh as well, but takes a sharp intake of breath in pain instead. STEVE gives him a worried look.

STEVE Are you okay?

JONATHAN My back just seized up.

JONATHAN turns his face into STEVE's shoulder. His breathing is shallow. Each inhale brings a wince of pain.

STEVE Let me help.

STEVE starts to turn JONATHAN around in order to rub his back.

JONATHAN Shit. Wait-

JONATHAN pushes STEVE away. STEVE’s concern is clear as he watches JONATHAN. His hands hover between them.

JONATHAN I think something bruised or cracked, and I've been going on adrenaline for the past few hours. Fuck-

JONATHAN leans back and concentrates on breathing.

STEVE Should I call someone? Did they give you anything for the pain?

STEVE looks around, worried and feeling helpless. JONATHAN shakes his head.

JONATHAN They're government, have they ever done anything useful? There are other people who should be looked over first, anyway. Just - Stay with me?

STEVE puts his arm around JONATHAN’s shoulder and gently pulls him back against him. JONATHAN’s eyes close as STEVE strokes his hair. JONATHAN’s breathing is still shallow and still in pain, but having STEVE to lean on has obviously helped. STEVE watches him with a wistful smile.

STEVE For as long as you need.
