    Summary

    “You want it,” Billy jeers. That’s what Billy does, he pushes, he always pushes, and Steve’s mouth twists - but he doesn’t deny it.

    He just… turns. Not much, just the most infinitesimal fraction, but his hips turn, and he’s facing Billy just the tiniest bit more than he was before and… and it’s enough. It’s enough for Billy to be sure.

    He lunges forward, and his mouth meets Steve’s in a clatter of teeth.
