It had been Steve's idea. 31 hours on the road. Billy had been driving like a maniac. Only three stops at ratty motels. Now they are there.
Billy has been so cold since the Mind Flayer. Now he feels warmer, the sinking sun still stroking his skin, chasing away the iciness the shadow left behind.
He's here. He's home. Toes in the sand and listening to the waves, Steve leaning against him.
"You wanna go for some pizza?" Steve plays with a strand of Billy's hair, scratching his head and tugging it a little.
Billy hums. He feels so... calm. He doesn't want to go back. He knows he has to, because Neil needs him around for a while and he can't afford to stay away longer than a week. But this week? A week in San Diego, fucking paradise.
They sit down at a corner table, Billy is stretching his limbs and jawns.
Steve snorts. "You're like a cat sometimes."
"'m not," Billy says, staring at the little menu in front of him.
"You are. You sit on furniture, your hair is everywhere, you purr.."
"I'm not a cat." Billy hits him with the menu. Not hard.
Steve snickers. "Totally."
A voice from a past he can't forget suddenly starts to speak. "Welcome! We make everything fresh here at Surfer Boy, except for our pineapple, which comes from a can, but I still recommend slapping some juicy- Billy?"
Billy looks up. Argyle stares back at him. The same Argyle he kept running around with years ago, before Neil felt social services and too many debtors breathing down his neck and brought Billy to the dump that calls itself Hawkins. To the monster that took everything from Billy - his body, his mind - and nearly his life.
"Argyle?" Billy clutches the menu in his hand and suddenly there are strong warm arms around him, dragging him up and he's hugged so hard he can't breathe, getting lift up a little - because Argyle had always been taller and used it to his advantage.
Argyle lets go and grins at him. "I didn't know you were back."
"It's.. just a trip." Billy rubs the scar on his chest. He regrets wearing only a crop top. Argyle has to notice the scars on his body.
"It was my idea. After Billy's... accident." Steve stands up.
"I'm Steve." He says with a big plastic smile on his lips and oh fuck. He's fucking jealous. Billy never thought that Steve would be jealous. Something inside Billy purrs at that.
Argyle looks back and forth between Steve and Billy. He stretches his hand out for Steve to shake.
"Nice to meet ya, dude." Argyle gives Billy a goofy grin. "I'll get you guys the finest pizza in California!“
Steve watches him leave to get their order. "His hair is pretty."
Billy presses his knee against Steve's. "I know. But you're my…" He swallows against the panic in his stomach. He can't say it. He's always so scared that someone hears.
Steve puts his hand on Billy's knees, gently squeezing it.
"You're mine, too," he says. Billy feels lighter.
Argyle brings them their pizzas and a giant cake in the colors of a rainbow.
"Confetti cake is on the house," he explains. "Not every time you meet a friend that got lost."
Steve stares at him again. But this time more fascinated than jealous. "What are you doing after work?"
Billy blinks in surprise.
Argyle laughs and points at the joint behind his ear. "Sharing a smoke with an old friend and a new one?"
Billy feels so warm like he has never been cold before.
