    Summary

    “Yeah, you’ve got a real mess over there.” Kiara checked the time on her phone and winced. If she was already running late though, what was another five minutes? “Alright, show me what you’ve fixed so far.”

    JJ waved her off with the rag. “You ain’t gotta do all that. Lookin’ all nice and shit. I’m sure you’ve got better places to be.”

    And she did, truthfully. The restaurant Sarah’d picked out for the night looked divine: gorgeous vaulted ceilings, Instagram worthy cocktails, and a menu full of ethically sourced produce that she wouldn’t have to pay a dime for.

    So why would she rather bake in the sun helping JJ with his busted bike engine?

    “I can spare a minute.”

    Or, five times Kie bailed on dates and one time she didn’t

    Summary

    "I dunno if I know how to be a good boyfriend now," Roy admits. "Not that it fucking matters. I can't date anyone else right now, when I'm fucked over Keeley. Wouldn't be right."

    "I mean, you could. If they knew it weren't serious." Jamie's eyes light up, and the look makes Roy wary. "Maybe that's what we need! Practice."

    Summary

    Having lived his entire life in a small town obsessed with Christmas, Jonathan has grown to resent the holiday. It doesn't help that the influx of visiting tourists staying at the Byers Bed & Breakfast for the season makes it their busiest time of year. When Nancy Wheeler arrives feeling disappointed her boyfriend is stuck in New York for their vacation, Jonathan offers to keep her company while she does all the touristy stuff. It's only supposed to be a friendly favor, but the more time they spend together, the easier it is for Jonathan to fall for her. Is it so crazy to think Nancy would be happier with him than she is with her asshole big-city boyfriend who couldn't be bothered to spend Christmas with his girlfriend?

    But then Steve Harrington finally shows up, and Jonathan realizes he might've been wrong. Not only does Steve not seem like the asshole Jonathan thought he was, but he and Nancy actually look happy together. Obviously, it's time for Jonathan to face the fact that his feelings are unrequited and move on.

    It'd be easier to do, probably, if Steve and Nancy would stop inviting Jonathan along on their dates.

    Summary

    “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”

    “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”

     

    or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

    Summary

    “It’s always pretty fun to see a former fuckboy from your grad school era bootycall list all domestic and settled down.”

    “Right, uh,” Buck’s brain is very quickly piecing together the slow onceovers, no doubt cataloguing the matching sleep-soft sweatpants and cozy hoodies and unbrushed hair at breakfast-time on a weekday. The singular witnessed conversation regarding co-purchased home cleaning products. The lack of personal space followed by the hasty exit when made to interact with an ex of sorts. “He’s, uh, he’s actually my best friend.”

    “Hey man, I love that for you. That’s the best way to do it, you know? Wish everyone got that in their relationship.” She's smiling very warmly at him. Buck’s sweating again.

    “He’s my partner,” Buck stresses, as much emphasis on the word ‘partner’ as he can manage.

     

    or, two boy best friends and an ex lover walk into a grocery store. everyone is on their normalest behaviour.
