Summary
“Are you excited?” Heather saves him, leaning over to snag the tickets out of Billy’s hands. “Don’t know if you noticed big guy, but we only have a couple of days to get to San Diego. We head out in the morning, we wanted to leave it until the last minute, so you didn’t have to wait.”
Billy takes a deep breath; annoyed that it still comes out shaky on the exhale. “You wanted to get the jump on me more like.”
“Well, there’s also that,” Robin says with a grin. “No chance of backing out now Hargrove. We’ve got a road trip planned!”

Summary
Steve frowns down at his chicken scratch scrawl and wonders when exactly it was that he lost his fucking mind. It’s the fifth time this month that he’s done this, lurking around after dark like a creep all to slip a note into Billy’s mailbox.
A love note.
Wait. He doesn’t love Billy. Or maybe he does? Fuck. All Steve knows is that Billy Hargrove somehow survived the unsurvivable last summer and his newfound presence in Steve’s life has scrambled his brain.

Summary
Steve’s staring again. It’s been five consecutive Saturdays that Steve’s made eyes at the blonde across the bar and five consecutive Saturdays now that the guy hasn’t given him the time of the day.
“You know, this thing you have with that guy is quickly beginning to cross the line from cute to creepy.” Robin says, sideling up to him with Heather, a girl she met earlier hanging off her arm.
“I’m not a creep Rob, I just –”
“Dream of all the ways you want blondie to dick you down,” Robin wrinkles her nose in disgust. “Trust me. I’ve heard it all before.”

It was Steve’s birthday in two weeks and to his surprise, thirty was actually looking pretty fucking good.

A little coffee with your sugar? by LightsUpInTheNorth
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
25 Apr 2020

Summary
“How about some coffee in your sugar?” Billy asked in a deadpan voice.
He didn’t mean to be rude. Billy was a ‘live and let live’ kind of guy, and he was more amused than offended by Pretty boy’s tastes, even if the mere thought of drinking such a concoction was enough to nauseate him. However, he couldn’t help that his tone was curt when he addressed him. First, Billy had to interact with the customers without having had time to mentally prepare for it beforehand, and second, he was out of sorts because of how hot the guy was. The truth was that, if Billy could usually charm the pants off of anyone, he was absolutely useless when it came to men he really did find attractive. Life was a bitch, sometimes.

Summary
By 1991, a lot has changed for Steve “The Hair” Harrington. He's left Hawkins and its monsters from the Upside Down in the rearview, to venture with his best friend Robin and her girlfriend Heather to Chicago. After a few years at community college he’s managed to get a bachelor’s degree under his belt and has secured his school district’s Teacher of the Year award within his first year as a kindergarten teacher. After leaving his hockey gear alongside his heart in Hawkins, Steve is shocked to find that his prize for his great teaching skills is tickets and an appearance at a pro-hockey game where he isn’t just reunited with his love for the game, but also with the guy who might be the love of his life.
