Yes, Nancy and Jonathan—I mean, Natalia and Charlie—are dating in real life. They’ve been together for years, they’re still going strong, and they make the rest of us feel like we need to step up our game. They are the definition of #RelationshipGoals.
They remind us that sometimes, the best love stories happen when you’re not looking. They also remind us that if you can survive fighting a demogorgon with a nail bat, you can probably survive a disagreement about whose turn it is to take out the trash. It’s all about perspective.
So, go ahead and keep shipping them. Keep swooning over their matching tattoos and their grocery runs. It’s a beautiful, normal story in a very weird world. And if you’re still single, don’t worry—there’s always the Upside Down. I hear the dating pool there is killer. (Sorry, I had to.)
In the end, all we can do is smile. Because in a universe full of questions, at least we know this one: yes, these two dorks are madly in love. And honestly? That’s a conclusion that makes even the darkest Hawkins alley feel a little brighter. Now, go call your crush. You never know.
