surpriiiise!! part 6 of poet!billy & dyslexic!steve

part 1

——

In the school library, Steve buries his head in his hands and presses his aching eyes into the meat of his palms to watch the little explosions of colours bloom in the dark.

And maybe relieve the headache pulsing behind his eyes, some.

He feels the eraser end of a pencil dig hard into his side and he jumps, startled, to see the back of Billy as he’s walking down to another table, four spots away.

Such an asshole.

Huffing, he looks down at his paper and there, on top of his English essay about Hamlet’s procrastination, is a folded piece of paper.

He snatches it up quickly, faster than he’s probably ever moved, and holds it down against his lap to unfold it secretly.

More goddamn red ink. His boyfriend knows better than to use it, but…the little red heart in the corner more than makes up for it.

Taking another quick look around, Steve carefully reads the poem.

it’s my mom’s birthday today

and i feel like a kid

crying because i miss her

but on the bright side

you still love me

and that’s the sunniest my mind will get

on these cold winter days

He stares down at it for longer than he should, nearly unblinking, because it’s her birthday today. Billy’s told him about his mom, about the ache he has in his chest for her.

Steve looks up, sees Billy’s furrowed brows as he reads his old copy of ‘Hamlet’ for the second time, and gets up from his seat.

Billy looks up only when Steve’s at the edge of his table, staring down at him, and the blond says nothing - but his eyes are sad and tired and Steve wants to wrap him up in his arms and never let go.

“C’mon,” Steve mutters.

Quiet as a mouse, Billy closes his book and stands. Follows Steve to his table where he clumsily grabs his stuff, and they leave without looking at anyone.

In Steve’s Beamer, where Billy sits in the passenger seat, he cries. And cries. And Steve gathers him into his arms, holds him tight, presses kisses to those golden curls and flushed cheeks as Billy whimpers, ‘miss her so much’ and ‘why’ and ‘thank you’.

“You don’t have to thank me, baby,” Steve murmurs because that’s all he can speak to.

“Shut up,” Billy whispers shakily, rubs his nose, and Steve smiles.

Slowly, his boyfriend’s sobs quiet into sniffles and when he pulls away, Billy wipes his wet face on the sleeve of his shirt, refusing to meet Steve’s eye.

“Billy,” he whispers, reaching over to smooth his thumb across the soft, damp skin of Billy’s cheekbone, and his boyfriend finally glances over at him.

Steve smiles again, soft and without pity, “You wanna go get her some flowers?”

Billy nods, stiff and sad and Steve wants to protect and love this boy for all of eternity.

They buy white lilies and pink carnations and Billy hides them where Neil won’t find them; on his windowsill in his bedroom, behind the blanket strung up over the blinds.

There, he admires them until they wilt.

“your gut instinct is not a liar, those initial feelings exist for a reason, sit on them if you need to, process whether your feelings are valid or just projections, but never dismiss your intuition when the signs are staring you in the face and your nervous system is agreeing.”

gays be like “she’s so beautiful I’m gonna kill myself” and then “she” is just a queer coded white man from some movie

[charsoamerican]

2024 is such a good year for music oml

[mortic2n]

I don’t care if it’s historically inaccurate, Charlie Dalton would definitely listen to David Bowie and Billy Joel to the point the other poets got so fed up of him..

[joshfutturman]

it was really cool of taylor to write a song about josh hutcherson tbh

[khenzye]

It's literally the same pose. There is no connection between the characters, but man, is this like the official pose of gays?
