After a successful run of five seasons and forty two episodes, Stranger Things made us believe that on-screen bromance has a whole new bittersweet definition while portraying the beautiful journey of Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Justin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo). It is a story that added a fun, humorous element to the plot, thereby evolving into one of the best relationship arcs we have witnessed throughout the hit Netflix drama.It all started with an outdoor adventure back in Stranger Things Season 2 Episode 6, where the Harrington-Henderson duo laid the foundation of their bromance. From teasing each other to guiding and helping, the pair goes through a tumultuous journey till the fifth and final chapter, where this love-hate relationship reaches its climax in the aftermath of Eddie's death. It is a rather unconventional bromance that TV shows usually do not portray and despite a happy ending, is quite unique.The Henderson-Harrington duo in Stranger Things starts on a bitter note and almost ends on one as well View this post on Instagram Instagram PostFrom being reluctant towards each other to being the only person to rely upon, Dustin and Steve have come a long way in Stranger Things. The Duffer Brothers have portrayed this iconic duo that is born in the second season of the supernatural drama, where we witness Steve helping Dustin to catch a baby demogorgon.Until this point, Steve is showcased as a young, popular teenager in school who is too self-absorbed and rich to care about anything else. However, when he stumbles upon a lesser-known junior, Dustin, the initiation is not that pleasant.The most beautiful aspect of their story is how the age gap never really affected their relationship, and we soon find Steve giving out elder brotherly advice to Dustin about how to keep his hair set and deal with relationships. The iconic and most hilarious line by Steve still resonates among Stranger Things fans:"When your hair’s damp, not wet, you do four puffs of the Farrah Fawcett spray."Eventually, the duo is seen investigating the Upside Down with Mike, Eleven, Will, Jonathan, and Nancy. Though the group takes time to accept Steve, it is because of his relationship with Dustin that blending in becomes easier.Stranger Things also portrayed the most beautiful reunion between Steve and Dustin in the second episode of the third season when the two come across each other following a long summer break. Fans believe that this is a major turning point in their love-hate relationship, and when Steve screams "Henderson" throwing his arms up in the air after seeing Dustin, it's a moment many would not be able to control their laughter as well as tears.Despite Robin being close enough to Steve, Dustin's presence always overpowered their dynamics. There is an element of unwavering loyalty that holds the bond together and through small passing moments of comic relief, it is worth mentioning how the two of them always appreciate each other (like when Harrington beats up the Russian spy in the third season and Dustin becomes ecstatic after this friend turned big brother finally wins a fight).However, the introduction of Eddie in Stranger Things becomes a setback in the Henderson-Harrington story until it helps the plot to find its way back to how it all started. Eddie's demise leaves Dustin in a desperate place - fearless, unbothered, and aloof - which not only eventually affects Steve but also lands the former in big trouble.The fight sequence between Steven and Dustin in Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 5 makes the escalation look pretty serious after the former makes Eddie look like someone who "made a dumb call" while trying to act like a savior. The discordance reached a point where reconciliation seemed different until the showrunners decided to bridge the gap in their rock-solid bromance just before the showdown in the Stranger Things Season 5 finale.The banter and simultaneous mutual respect for each other make the pair unique. The Henderson-Harrington duo will remind all Friends fans of Joey and Chandler at times, but the evolution is along a different course. It is not just about the happy moments together but also about believing in each other in the worst of times as well - not to mention the deep affection that holds the core of a rather bittersweet relationship.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more information.
