HWB 2025 - Truth or Dare

"I dare you... to kiss the former king of High School," Robin challenges dryly at the blond out-of-season lifeguard, smack-dab in the middle of Nancy's Christmas party.

Billy raises an eyebrow. He looks at the circle of the truth or dare players around him, all bored out of their minds after graduation, stuck at that limbo between the freedom of graduation and not knowing what comes after. His eyes land on Nancy, sitting right across him. "Uh... double dipping, Buckley?"

Nancy waves him off with a small smile. "All in the past. Don't you have someone to kiss?"

Billy looks at Steve sitting right next to him, quiet the whole time. "...Pretty boy, you wanna suck face?"

Steve mouths a small thank you at Robin, who surreptitiously set them up, all in a day's life for Hawkin's best wingman. "Sure, whatever. I'm cool with it,"

Billy shifts closer to the former monarch, surprisingly gentle with his touch as he touches the sides of Steve's face with the tips of his fingers.

He leans in close, Steve not fighting the distance closing between them.

To say that this was the best christmas of Steve's life would be an understatement.

Sometimes when a cheesy love song catches him off guard, Billy starts to passionately daydream about Harrington in bullshit romantic scenarios, and he has to mentally slap himself a couple of times to gain control again.

Have I started another long fic? Yes, yes I have.

Title: The scent of sea salt and sunshine

Main ship: Harringrove

Additional tags: Werewolf Steve Harrington, Werewolves, Pack Dynamics, Hive Mind, Sort Of, Werewolf Nancy Wheeler, Werewolf Jonathan Byers, Werewolf Robin Buckley, Werewolf Chrissy Cunningham, Werewolf Jason Carver, Witch Eddie Munson, Wolfsong inspired, Werewolf Mates, True Mates, Knotting, More tags to be added, Child Abuse, Neil Hargrove is His Own Warning, Suicidal Thoughts, Physical Abuse, Billy Hargrove Tries to Be a Better Sibling, Billy Hargrove Needs a Hug, Gay Billy Hargrove, Bottom Billy Hargrove, Top Steve Harrington, Protective Steve Harrington, Alpha Steve Harrington, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Kind Of, not traditional

Summary: Steve Harrington is going to be the next Alpha of the Hawkins wolf pack. It's something he's known since he was a child, and with Hopper getting ready to hand over the reigns, he's beginning to really feel the weight of his future responsibilities. Especially after what happened with his father.

The scars of what everyone in the pack only ever refers to as 'the event' are still fresh in Steve's mind and heart, even if it has been three years. It doesn't matter that none of the pack blame him for what happened, Steve can't help but feel like it was his fault. Starting his senior year of high school with all of that hanging over him would be bad enough, but then someone new comes to town.

Someone who smells like sea salt and sunshine. Someone who makes Steve feel like home.

Even if he is a human.

Something had happened to Steve Harrington.

Gone were the days where Steve would turn up to school in stiff, starched khakis and sneer at anyone who looked different, preppy bag in hand.

Steve Harrington was different now.

He seemed to be attending school dressed as a pirate to the uninitiated eye. More discerning students picked out the nods towards the New Romantic movement and figured he was just going through a phase. King Steve would be back in a week.

He never returned.

Instead, Steve seemed to be on a mission to shock the town into submission. Mysteriously bad things seemed to happen to anyone who crossed him, so most people just decided to pipe down and go with the flow.

There was only one other person who seemed to want to shock more than him.

Billy Hargrove wasn’t merely a teenage boy. He was a Californian revolution landing in the Midwest, with his perfectly curled hair and his music and his biting attitude.

He didn’t seem to give a shit what anyone thought, drifting in and out of the woods with Eddie Munson, both at least stoned.

Nobody seemed to notice the bruises on Billy’s arm, to bother to look past the avalanche of charm he shot at everyone.

People did start to talk when he was found in his car with Steve Harrington on his lap.

People talked.

Billy disappeared.

A month passed then Neil Hargrove disappeared as well. Some houses had claimed that they’d seen a huge golden wolf dragging a man out of the Hargrove residence but he wasn’t a well loved man. Nobody acted on it.

Billy seemed to come back soon after that.

Nobody really dared to talk about Steve and Billy again.

They mainly kept to themselves following “the incident.” Steve and Billy’s clothes were loud as ever, their public displays of affection bordering on indecent, yet they were never bothered.

Graduation came and went and they slipped into the night. The town promptly forgot they’d ever existed. It was like their minds had been wiped.

Only a select few remembered through trinkets, letters, the big old house that lay collecting dust. They all knew what had happened but even if they wanted to explain, how could they?

Who would believe in the love story of a witch and a werewolf?

Billy didn’t think the flirting would actually work honestly

[maybetorbie]

Ok but billy just getting absolutely railed from behind, face pressed up against the wall, eyes squeezed shut, mouth open making “uh uh uh” sounds that he has tried and failed to stop himself from making and Steve just absolutely giving it to him, grip bruising, hair flopping into his eyes so he has to throw his head back and he’s absolutely a talker when it comes to sex: all “yeah, just take it c’mon” and muttering fuck or Billy’s name over and over again. And then once they’ve both come and tucked themselves away they just have to both try and play it cool even though Billy’s walking with a limp and pretending he can’t feel Steve’s come dripping down his leg and Steve’s pretending he isn’t staring at the bite mark that’s just about hidden on Billy’s neck. I mean, this is just a casual arrangement to let off steam… nothing more right??

ANON—

Listen…idk who you are or why you’ve sent me this smutty ask but I LOVE YOUUUUU omg i can picture this so clearly hehehehe

And AGAINST A WALL?? Oh they’re freaks (but we know that and love that)
