You love your brother more than anything. Sure, he’s more high macitence than you when it comes to hair and friends and whatnot, but he’s fun and he always had a big heart for you. He was a good and protective older brother even when he failed at other parts in his life.

But you still don’t think that he deserves Nancy Wheeler. Not to sound like you’re choosing a girl over your own flesh and blood, but Steve just doesn’t understand her. He doesn’t fully appreciate her independence and dreams. They simply aren’t compatible. And it seems like Nancy tries to change herself for Steve.

You and your best friend Jonathan Byers talk about Nancy a lot. About how her and Steve don’t work and should just break up. About how either of you would be honored to be with her instead. (Of course you guys talk about other things as well.)

You’re not sure if you’ll ever have a chance with Nancy Wheeler. And you’re not even sure if you’d make a move if you did have a chance, because you don’t want to betray your brother. But no matter what, you hope her and Steve break up and find better people.
