          jb returns the favour, middle finger flipping him off back as she’s rolling her eyes at him, can’t help but laugh as she bites into the apple she had zero intention of eating in the first place, but she’ll let him have his victory . . “𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚎. 𝚍𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚕𝚒��𝚎, 𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚕𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚢 𝚘𝚗 𝚌𝚒𝚐𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚜?” she questions, a judging side eye glance at him.

billy takes a deep breath, hums as the smoke curls in his lungs. does he purposefully puff it out in her direction out of spite? maybe. he doesn´t have fucking lunch money, only the few bucks he´d earned himself - but even if he did, he would probably still spend it on cigarettes and alcohol. a shrug is all he gives her before turning back to his prize.   ❝   money better spent, if you ask me.  ❞

with a click of his tongue, the annoyance rushes through him much quicker than anticipated though when she keeps throwing shit at him.  ❝   stop it, what are you? five? i dont owe you shit, jones. ❞   he just sat down and is already contemplating leaving again, this feels like a record broken or something - billy huffs as he tears open the small package.  ❝   i don´t care, jesus. what is that old nag gonna do? get mad? whatever.  ❞

@kingrove​ asked: ❝ i play that moment back in my head all the time. ❞  -for eleven!! Not Accepting || Meme

     Hazel gaze shifts downward at his words and her mind tries to think back of which moment that he speaks of. There were a number of them, especially since recent events. Time passe, yes, but it wasn’t passing fast enough to forget the trauma and pain they had all went through that summer. She felt better being back in Hawkins. Felt more secure. Felt safer surrounded by her friends instead of being wrapped in the warmth of sunlight in California. She wonders if Billy may be talking about one of those moments? One of the ones she had seen inside of his mind when she had tried so desperately to save him from the Mind Flayer?

     "Which?“ She asks in nothing but a soft tone. Her movements are gentle, chin raising, gaze shifting to look at him. She remembers, of course she does, the way he looked as a child, smiling up at his mother. He was proud, so happy to have caught a wave on his surfboard and to ask if she had seen. His smile had such a warmth and it matched that of his mother’s. She wonders if that’s where he got it from? Had he taken more of her than of his father and just refused to show it? She has so many questions, never having met her mother before or known the similarities between them, but she knows to not ask such personal questions to someone.

     "I think about them too.” Words come with pause littered between them. She’s getting better at speaking in full sentences but it still feels strange upon her tongue. In the lab, she didn’t need to speak, not really. Always the quiet one who barely asked questions or answered in verbal replies. When she did speak, it was broken. English wasn’t really something they taught there, instead, focusing more upon the power that laid inside of her. “You’re…okay now.” She nods to him, hoping her words give him some comfort to whatever memory is stuck inside of his head. She does not want to dive back inside, to know just what plays again in his brain. It’s personal and she knows it’s a line she does not want to cross again.

is he? billy has no fucking clue what he´s doing anymore - sitting on the bench outside the hospital, smoking cigarette after cigarette just to have something to do with his hands that isn´t wringing them or punching something. after an entire year, he feels like he´s back to where he started - back at zero, filled with useless rage that doesn´t get him anywhere. he can feel it boiling underneath his skin, setting it on fire at the smallest of provocations. the fucking monster had played them, had played HIM AGAIN. and as if it doesn´t add insult to injury, he can still feel him, can feel his eyes on the back of his neck - mocking him, while max lay still in her hospital bed. the sound of the heart monitor the only proof she was even still alive. 

he was supposed to be there. he was supposed to protect her - billy clenches his fists, lets nails dig into his skin until the pain is sharp - piercing him back to reality.  ❝ no i´m not. ❞

the girl, eleven - jane, was a strange companion to have ; he hadn´t ever really had the chance to talk to her after the shadow, after everything that she´d seen. billy isn´t particularly keen to, especially now - the last thing he wants to feel is SEEN, or be reminded of easier times. he didn´t want to be on an adventure on the beach - he wanted to go back to the upside down and get his hands around a monsters neck and break bones. he´s fucking angry ; and that makes him dangerous to be around. always had. 

billy takes a deep drag of his cigarette, expels the smoke through his nose sharp and aggressive.     ❝   sinclair is inside if you want better company.  ❞

                     “ isn’t it nice to breathe…” vecna mused as he hovered over Billys body laying on the ground of his house. “ You lot forget about breathing as it becomes second nature to you … you never STOP to take in the air your breathing.”  he sighed , people were so predictable , boring and inane. BUT his plan was just begining, HE needed Billy no matter who he was as a person.            He would use Billy as a means to manipulate the others, bring him back as a spy, HOW would he have billy reenter the other realm ? WELL it was quite simple.. He’d return but not in hawkins, He’d start a new life in a new town and have him watch for new potential people to open portals with. Billy would be easy enough to manipulate, he had enough trauma to bring up to twist him to a maluable pile. 

                      “ Now we have a few matters to discuss take some time to orientate yourself .. resurection .. not easy at all..”

no, no, no. this shit wasn´t happening. the world around him was spinning, the air in his lungs burning - he feels like he´s woken up from a long nap, except that his body didn´t get the message and was still catching up. only, he hadn´t been sleeping - had he? he felt the spikes pierce his skin, had felt sharp teeth tear his skin apart - had felt the blood fill his lungs. 

billy coughs again, writhes on the ground trying to catch himself - the whiplash of his last memories and the sudden breath of stale air too much for him to comprehend. it´s why it takes him a second to make out words, deep and guttural in a way that sends shivers down his back.  ❝   who the          ❞  another cough, clenched fists gripping the morose wooden floor.     ❝        FUCK are you ?   ❞   what the hell was even HAPPENING ?

　　　　Billy had always been so good at concealing his emotions, it hadn’t been until their minds had been linked by the Mindflayer that Heather’d had the chance to understand how deep his feelings really ran. Her memories about the days spent inside the hivemind, everything that remained of her drowning more and more under all that darkness surrounding her soul. The bits and pieces she remembered were images of violence and the pain coming from those whose lives they’d stolen and linked to theirs, but Billy’s had always been the strongest voice she’d been able to hear somewhere in her head. Maybe it was the reason why the silence of the hospital was still something Heather wasn’t quite used to, and it was almost unnatural to look at him and not be able to know whatever was going through his mind.

　　　　Heather could see the tension in his body, however. Even as he kept his expression blank, she could see how that clashed with his body language. She blamed that on whatever nightmare he’d just woken up from, or maybe the surprise coming from seeing her there when she was supposed to be dead — to be fair, Heather was still pretty shocked herself about the fact that she was breathing after everything. After her insides had almost being melted by whatever chemicals the Mindflayer had needed in order to stay alive. On a bad day it was like she could almost taste them in her mouth once again, like a disgusting echo that was still very much there. She wondered if Billy was going through the same, she wondered just how similar their experience was. If maybe there was still an invisible link between them.

　　　　Truth was she had no-one else left but the guy that was laying on that bed. And her soul ached with how much she missed those days of summer when everything had been so easy. Smiles and sun-kissed skin mixing with the smell of chlorine…

　　　　Heather’s brows furrowed, cause the question came out of his lips almost as if he’d forgotten everything about her all of a sudden. « I wanted to see if you were okay. I heard the machines beeping from my room. » Like worrying about his well-being was the most natural reaction to everything. He hadn’t answered her question, though, so she tried again. « Do you want me to call a nurse? Are you in pain? »

 worried about him. if that wasn´t a novel concept - there had only ever really been one person in billy´s life that had cared enough about him to worry and he was stuck six feet under the ground back in california ;; at least that´s how it looked like only a few weeks ago. or was it months now? time moves weird in the hospital like this - with nothing to pass the time except for mindless tv and the beeping of the machines that he´d come to fucking hate. the annoying beep, beep, beep - a constant reminder that he was alive ; a constant truth of how he feels with no chance to hide it. every skip of a beat, every stutter on blank display for everyone to hear in this shitty place with paper fucking walls. 

❝ no  ❞  a lie. the noise threatens to pick up on his side and billy forces himself to look away from heather, to look straight ahead at the blank wallpaper and force his breath slow, deep and low. there´s a fire in his chest, burning its way through his flesh and he knows the nurses would ease it away with the morphine - but he needs it. needs the pain to ground him on a night like this when the silence is too loud and heather holloway sits next to him ;; looking at him like she sees everything. the pain is his, the consequence of his choice. billy closes his eyes and takes another breath, feels the flames spread like a web through his battered lungs. 

❝ it´s fine.  ❞

it takes him three spikes of the monitor to the left to gather up the courage to turn back ; to really look at heather in her hospital gown, hooked up to probably the same shit he´s been for the chemical mess inside their bodies - it´s hard not to think that he´d done that to her. that it wasn´t him who´d sapped all the life out of her, that wasn´t the cause for the dark purple rings underneath her eyes. but it really was, wasn´t it. it had been him, and yet she´s still here - yet she still worries ;; even though the last time she had, it´d gotten her nothing but misery. you´d think someone would learn after an experience like that   ❝ what about you? you don´t exactly look like you should be running around the halls yet, holloway. ❞

✧      ╰      『 BILLY HARGROVE || @kingrove​. 』

* are you out of your fucking mind?

-ˋˏ [ ◉¯] ┈┈┈┈ ❝ YOU TELL ME – ❞ Voice cracked , digits clasping tightly to broomstick as he stood over the groggy man. A long night of suffering, dealing with a dark substance that broke through his threshold from the inside out, yet it all felt over ; it always felt that way until something new arrived in their home. What’s certain is how uncertain Jonathan felt about this ; his knuckles whitening against the tension that permeated continuously through his life. 

    At least now he had a warm hand to hold through it.

    NOT the hand of Billy Hargrove’s, mind you, but he’d digress since his inner monologue crumbled down to an unnerving end as he realized the disturbing elements of the intruder inside. To call the cops would only lead to another Byers home spectacle to place on the news, ridiculing them as the town freaks further and further by the populace that loved to gawk and jeer at them. For now, he’d keep his justice to his own merits before allowing another person TOMMY OR CAROL to snidely sneak a snickering, ‘ how’re the lights in your house? ’ his way.

    From what he’d seen of this monstrous man, he could easily tear down the old king of Hawkins with ease – out drink him, outplay him, outfriend him – so there was no telling how a fight between them would handle. Best to keep his distance, best to keep the upper hand – who knew when the sedative would wear off and the guy would perk back up to full? This wasn’t one of Will’s D&D games, either, Jonathan didn’t have any high number stats or chance to take a step back and deliberate if there came a choice in the moment. 

    Inching closer, he would wind up the broom’s end for a swing, peering through his red, puffy eyes, ready to strike it down at any sign of physical aggression. ❝ Why the HELL are you in my house, Billy?! ❞

random (chaotic) dialogue starters.

there´s a ringing in his ears , high and obnoxious as the world swims around his vision - refusing to settle down just yet. whatever had been in that syringe that little shit had injected him with, it had knocked him out good. he can´t feel anything - too busy floating on the clouds of an old and ugly wooden floor in a cabin in the woods. 

and maybe it´s better that way. because like this? the blurry image of a man hovering over him with a weapon in hand doesn´t quite petrify him, doesn´t make his teeth clamp down and square his jaw in anticipation of a hit. there is no fear in his veins yet that would make him comply out of sheer habit- and thank fuck for that. because when the world around him finally stopped being an ocean and the vague figure finally took shape, turning out to be the older byers - billy doesn´t think he´d have lived through the fucking humiliation. 

beat by his father, beat by his stupid adopted kid sister in front of harrington and the other brats -   beat out of the house with a broom like a fucking rat; billy really didn´t need cowering in front of the freak of hawkins high on top of that list. 

he lets his head fall back down to the ground from where he´d lifted it to look, closes his eyes before the motion of it can send him spinning out of control again and groans. there isn´t even any pain to ground him, even though he knows he should be feeling it everywhere. he wants to be annoyed, wants to feel the rage lighting up his veins - but all he is, is tired.

      ❝   put that fucking stick away.  ❞     his voice is scratchy, almost breaks from disuse as if he just woke up from a afternoon nap instead of a forced timeout through narcotics. billy opens his eyes again to peer up at the other teen from through his lashes - his body still too lethargic to do much of anything else out of its own volition. byers isn´t neil ; billy repeats that over and over in his head as his fingerst start to prickle. byers isn´t neil. there´s no fucking reason to listen to him.    ❝  or else i will make you regret it, byers.  ❞

no yOU fel omg!!!! you´re such a sweet and wonderful person i´m genuinely so glad that we finally actually started talking?? i´m so grateful because you´re genuinely one of the nicest people ive met on this site.... tucks this close to my chest....thank you, dear

[kingrove-a]

he´s stuck. stuck between feeling helpless and so, so angry with no way to relieve himself of it AGAIN. he can feel it building underneath his skin, the way it pushes against the boundaries and threatens to explode in spectacular fashion. in a way, it´s almost sickeningly familiar. for the past year he´s found himself lost, almost missing the anger and rage that had always come to him so easily whenever he´d left the hargrove house with new bruises, with new cutting words echoing in his ear. he´d thought that feeling angry was at least better than feeling nothing            but now that he´s back here again? he feels sick. he forgot that this particular kind of rage was always accompanied by HUMILIATION. 

every time billy walks through the bland hospital halls and sits in the cheap, creaking chair right next to the machine that monitors the life of max in a steady beat he feels it flare up again and again. he´d been there, he was right there and it didn´t matter one fucking bit. none of it did because that fucker didn´t even die in the end. once again, billy was STUCK watching, STUCK doing jack shit, STUCK taking hit after hit without a chance of retaliation. 

he feels like a pressure cooker about to burst ;; and meetings like this sure didn´t help the matter either. the group of them - the ones who know ; a group he´s officially a part of, no matter how far on the side. they sit and talk about shit they have no clue of, try to prepare for everything when no one has a clue what the hell is even coming. they all know they´re in the eye of the storm and shit is about to hit the fan and billy just needs to DO something. something other than standing in the corner listening to people talk and talk and talk. 

it´s ugly when the thread finally snaps - it´d only been a matter of time and billy had seen it coming from a mile away, but couldn´t be bothered to stop. old habits are hard to break, even if they leave him feeling like shit afterwards. in the moment, the release of all the pressure is all he cares about - in the way his fist impacts with the wood behind him, in the way his voice rises to a roar - the old chief and he are head to head and billy is daring him with flared nostrils and a raised chin ;; he knows the chief wants to take a hit, can see it in his eyes - they are so close, billy is so close to get what he wants when it´s the RUSSIAN out of all people who interferes. who gets hopper to back down and turn away - who leaves billy squaring off against empty space - all of the energy puffing out of existence, unsatisfying and more importantly unresolved. 

billy had left, then - not before the other man had caught his shoulder, telling him to meet him here again the next day ; a gesture billy had shrugged off immediately, bristling and on edge - a sharp don´t fucking touch me spit right at him - but he´d left, taking himself out of the equation before he could humiliate himself even more than he already had. did he make himself out to be a complete fucking fool? yeah. had he thought about ditching the weird foreigner, leaving him to wait all fucking day for him? absolutely. had this been a year ago, he probably would have. but he´s not the same, for better or for worse; billy is still unsure. 

  whatever it is, it makes him show up the coming day only twenty minutes or so late. a half smoked cigarette hangs loosely from his lips as he gets out of the camaro, cracking his neck as he slams the door shut, turning to @kamchatkatraitor​.      ❝    alright, i´m here. the fuck do you want ?   ❞

how are you ruined:

 RUINED BY FURY.  you are angry. you are angry and everyone knows it. the fire within you will not die, cannot die. for if it dies, you wont have a reason to burn. your rage simmers close to your chest, it boils near something you wont touch. you are angry because it is easier than anything else. you are angry because you choose it over pain. you are ruined because you cannot feel anything but your own ire.

The doomed boys have captivated me

[kingrove-a]

wheeling​.

      Before Mike could even come to a stop on his own, a hand upon his shoulder had pulled him back, earning Billy a questioning glance. He thought that maybe he’d seen something, or maybe even heard something from up ahead, but it turned out that Billy just wanted to go ahead of him. ❝ Fine, I have your back. But I do know how to use a gun. Sort of. My sister taught me before coming here. ❞ Alright, so he wasn’t well experienced with it, but it didn’t seem so hard. Aim the gun at the threat and pull the trigger. A simple handgun wouldn’t do much against a Demogorgon, as far as he was aware, but maybe a shotgun would.       Following behind Billy, ready to defend him if anything were to unexpectedly jump out at him, Mike held his breath once they reached the back door. The Upside Down was crawling with danger, and one could never be too careful. Vines, Demogorgon’s, Dembobats, Demodogs. The list went on. Basically, letting your guard down in such a place could prove to be fatal, and they needed everyone playing their part if they wanted their goal of defeating Vecna to go over smoothly. Once he was assured that they were in the clear, Mike stepped outside and paused to get an idea of where they were. They’d been running blind, and the darkness of the upside down could make it more difficult to navigate.       ❝ Okay, we’re safe. For now. ❞ Would they make it there without hitting anymore obstacles along the way? He wanted to be optimistic and think they would, but time would tell. ❝ Hey, I think we’re at Mr. Clarke’s house. That means Motel 6 is…❞ Taking a second to think, he then turned and pointed towards where Forest Hill Park would be if they kept heading down from the Motel. ❝ Over that way, right? We just have to keep going until we find the playground. ❞ The Creel house was hard to mistake for anything else, but the playground was right across from it, so they’d know if they were in the right spot.

      Adjusting his bag over his shoulders, Mike began walking in the designated direction—though he stopped for a moment, just to make sure Billy was with him since he’d made it perfectly clear that he didn’t want anything happening to him under his watch. ❝ Is this your first time?—In the Upside Down. ❞ He knew that Billy had experience with it due to the Mind Flayer, but he didn’t know all the details and he didn’t know if Billy had actually willingly traveled to the realm before.

 could he have said literally anything less confidence inspiring? sort of, my sister taught me before coming here ;; billy snorts, can´t help the condescending tone when he tells wheeler        ❝  just make sure to point away from me  ❞    again and again he finds himself wondering how the hell the choices / or the lack of thereof / in the past few years had led him here. billy hargrove, stuck in an alternate dimension with a kid carrying a sawn off shotgun. it really does feel like a cosmic joke on his expense. there have been a lot of these in his life, you´d think he´d slowly start to get used to them. he genuinely can´t tell if he´d prefer to keep being on his own whenever it happens or not. there has been a trend of that lately    -    him not being alone.

first it had been max, who stubbornly refused to leave after the shit show with the shadow ; and then against all odds it´d been eddie. brought together by pure coincidence with the same horror - and with those two came the others. harrington, the wheelers, buckley, henderson - fuck even the sinclairs. it´s weird, it SHOULD be weird. billy doesn´t know what to think or do about it. he´s not used to company like that. company that stays. no matter how reluctant.

he lets his gaze follow down the street where the kid is pointing to - squints against the perpetual and annoying darkness of the upside down and pushes down the lump in his throat. a part of him expects to see himself walking towards them, clad in leather jacket and cold, cold eyes - trailed by a group of faceless people. but the road stays empty, perhaps a bit too eerily so.   ❝  yeah             we´re gonna be stuck on foot for a while though. piece of shit chased us pretty far from the others.  ❞   cut off from the shortcut through the woods it´s not like they had any other choice though ; and its with an exasperated huff and a crack of his neck that he starts to follow wheeler before once again taking the lead.

      ❝ no  ❞   his footsteps make a dull sound against the ground - everything sounds strange and muffled in this place ; almost like you´re listening to the music of a party from the bathroom. discordant and weird    -   isolating. billy doesn´t know if it was a hallucination, back then on the deserted street by the factory - or if he´d actually been dragged into the upside down physically like he is now ; he´s not going to pretend to understand how this shit works - all he knows is that these sights and the feeling of constantly being watched, hunted - felt all too familiar.  ❝  i didn´t exactly go on a fucking joy around the place           but i was here before.  ❞
