                              THERE   IS   NOTHING   BUT   EXCRUCIATING,   all-consuming   pain   ripping   through   his   body.   His   skin   feels   like   it’s   on   fire,   and   Steve   has   to   keep   himself   from   attempting   to   peel   it   off   of   his   bones   with   his   fingernails.   He   doubles   over   and   grits   his   teeth   against   a   scream   as   another   bout   of   pain   tears   through   him,   driving   him   to   his   knees.   Beneath   him,   the   forest   floor   is   cool   and   he   can   smell   the   rotting   vegetation.   He   can   hear   the   sound   of   an   insect’s   wings   flapping   from   yards   away.   Everything   is   too   intense   and   it   rocks   through   him   like   an   earthquake.   

Overhead,   the   full   moon   shines   through   the   sparse   canopy   as   though   it’s   taunting   him.   He   can   feel   the   pull   of   it   in   his   bones,   and   his   heart   is   hammering   so   fast   in   his   chest   Steve’s   sure   it   will   burst   from   his   chest.   He   clenches   his   teeth   again,   presses   his   hands   into   the   ground,   fingers   digging   into   the   soft   dirt   as   something   inside   of   him   pops,   then   cracks.   His   bones   are   shifting,   his   organs   are   moving,   and   all   he   can   think   about   is   the   pain.   

Then   he   doesn’t   remember   anything   at   all.

The   first   thing   he   hears   when   he   wakes   is   the   sound   of   a   stream.   Steve’s   eyes   flutter   open   but   his   vision   is   blurry   at   first.   It   takes   several   moments   before   he   realizes   that   he’s   in   the   woods,   and   he   can’t   remember   how   he   got   there.   His   entire   body   hurts,   as   though   he’s   been   run   over   twice.   He   groans   as   he   moves   to   sit   up,   bracing   himself   on   his   hands.   There’s   a   metallic   taste   in   his   mouth,   bitter   and   coppery.   He   wonders   if   he   bit   his   tongue   but   it   doesn’t   hurt.   

Steve   brings   a   hand   up   to   rub   down   his   face   and   that’s   when   he   notices   it.

Blood.   

Blood   on   his   hands.   Blood   on   his   chest.   He’s   not   wearing   any   clothes   and   his   bare   skin   is   streaked   in   gore.   

Panic   sets   in   and   he   gasps,   a   shudder   of   terror   moving   down   his   spine.   He   scrambles   toward   the   stream   and   thrusts   his   hands   into   the   cold   water.   His   skin   turns   pink   and   raw   as   he   scrubs   at   his   hands.   The   entire   time   he’s   biting   down   on   his   lip   and   tears   sting   his   eyes.   

“Ohgodohgod,”   he   says   over   and   over   again.   

What   has   he   done?

@kardiaerasti​ || Steve & Billy

Steve had not been to a party since he graduated high school two years ago. It wasn’t something that necessarily interested him anymore, and getting Robin to come with him was pointless. At least until one of their co-workers at the video store begged them to come until they agreed. They agreed to make an appearance, have a drink, and then leave as soon as possible. They’d make sure Jack saw them at the party and then casually leave. They later found out that it was going to be a huge rager and everyone they knew was likely going to be there. Steve pointed out that might include Vickie and Robin relented. 

And if Steve knew Billy like he thought he did, he was sure that his not-boyfriend, secret fuckbuddy was going to be there. No one knew about their arrangement, not even Robin. It was an unspoken agreement between the two of them. They would fuck regularly and then pretend the other didn’t exist in public and mixed company. Steve pretended it didn’t bother him. Pretended his every waking moment was consumed with Billy Hargrove. Pretended the guy didn’t make his heart race and his stomach flutter and all that gross shit that Billy would laugh at him for if he ever admitted it.

By the time they got to the party it was in full swing. He and Robin weaved through the mass of bodies in the living room, until they reached the kitchen where the keg was. Jack was there to mingle with his guests and they exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes. Red Solo cups of beer were handed to the two of them and they left the kitchen. 

And the moment Billy walked into the house, Steve knew he was there. He couldn’t exactly say how, only that he did. For a brief moment, the two of them locked eyes and then went about ignoring each other. Robin was pulled away from him by another girl in band and it left Steve on his own. Which was fucking annoying because it left him to his own devices, and pining over someone who wouldn’t even acknowledge him. That was fine. Two could play that game. 

So Steve made sure he was within eyesight of Billy and found a pretty girl to flirt with. She was blonde haired, blue eyed, and someone Steve absolutely would have dated if he weren’t so tragically wrapped up in Billy fucking Hargrove. Goddammit, Steve hated himself a little bit even as he leaned against the wall next to the girl whose name was Anna, and turned the charm up to a ten.

@storiesung​ continued from here.

The smile on his face was nothing short of smug. Steve couldn’t help it. Billy put up this front that he was such a badass in public. That he was too tough for most things. Only Steve knew what kind of mess Billy could be reduced when it was just the two of them. Only he knew what kind of beautiful sounds came out of the tough guy when he came. 

“Oh, come on,” he laughed. “Is it really that bad?” Steve’s hands fell on Billy’s hips and he guides him back against the closest wall. Lips descended onto the side of his neck, teeth scraping a sensitive spot he’d learned recently.

@entangledmuses​ || Steve & Heather

The video store was not busy, which wasn’t a huge surprise considering it was a Tuesday afternoon. Most of the teens and kids were still in school, parents still at work, and yet every hour or so they would get a customer. In the meantime, Steve and Robin were sorting through returns and doing other menial tasks to fill the time when the bell above the door chimed. Steve stood up from behind the counter, eyes finding the customer. A girl about his own age. Dark hair, cute, nice eyes. Yep. Just his type. 

“Hey, welcome to Family Video,” he said with a charming smile. “Anything I can help you find?”

                              COLLEGE   LIFE   WAS   NOT   GENERALL   CONDUCIVE   TO   DATING.   Especially   when   he   was   cramming   an   extra   class   on   top   of   what   was   already   required   of   him.   Why?   Steve   didn't   know.   He'd   finally   been   forced   to   declare   a   major   the   year   before,   though   he   wasn't   sure   it   was   the   one   he   wanted.   At   this   point,   he   was   going   to   be   a   professional   student   because   he   didn't   know   what   he   wanted   to   do   with   his   life.   So   he   took   as   many   classes   as   he   could   and   supplemented   the   scholarship   he'd   earned   in   high   school   buy...doing   something   that   his   parents   would   most   assuredly   not   approve   of.   Steve   didn't   care.   It   was   good   money,   and   if   people   were   willing   to   pay   to   see   him   naked   on   an   app   then   who   was   he   to   argue?   That   was   another   reason   he   avoided   dating   because   having   an   Only   Fans   account   was   something   he   would   eventually   have   to   explain.   And   potentially   something   his   significant   other   may   not   like.   So   he   just   didn't   really   date.   

He'd   been   bullied   into   going   on   this   date.   Robin   had   insisted   that   he   needed   to   get   out   and   actually   enjoy   college   life.   She   further   explained   that   Vickie   had   a   friend   who   knew   a   really   hot   guy   she   though   Steve   would   like.   He   didn't   know   how   he   felt   about   a   blind   date   but   if   push   came   to   shove   he   could   excuse   himself   to   use   the   bathroom   and   just...leave.   Or   he   would   come   up   with   a   text   code   for   Robin   so   she   could   extract   him   from   said   terrible   date.   Always   have   a   plan.   It   wasn't   going   to   be   something   crazy,   just   a   meeting   at   Starbucks   a   couple   blocks   away   from   campus.   Something   casual,   no   pressure   and   no   expectations.   Steve   would   go   just   to   get   Robin   off   his   back.   

Steve   showed   up   ten   minutes   earlier,   despite   the   fact   Robin   had   harangued   him   about   his   clothes   and   made   him   change   into   two   different   outfits   before   finally   settling   on   something   she   felt   would   make   a   good   impression.   He   didn't   really   get   it   because   it's   not   any   of   his   clothes   were   ugly   or   out   of   fashion.   He   was   pretty   sure   Robin   was   more   into   the   idea   of   this   date   than   she   was.   Unsure   of   what   the   rules   of   blind   dating   were,   he   ordered   a   drink   and   waited   for   it   before   sitting   down   at   a   small   table   and   waited.   He   kept   looking   at   the   Apple   Watch   on   his   wrist,   almost   hoping   this   guy   wasn't   going   to   show   up   at   all.   

He   sighed   and   looked   around   as   people   came   and   went   from   the   coffee   shop,   and   noted   someone   familiar.   Steve   knew   him.   Billy   Hargrove.   Actually,   it   was   more   like   Steve   knew   of   him.   He   was   popular,   a   jock,   usually   had   women   drooling   as   they   followed   him   around.   Steve   smirked   at   the   thought   that   his   blind   date   was   actually   Billy,   almost   laughing   to   himself.   Except   then   Billy   was   heading   toward   him   and   Steve   froze.   There   was   no   fucking   way   his   blind   date   was   Billy   Hargrove.   No.   Fucking.   Way.   

Then   Billy   was   by   his   small   table   and   looking   down   at   him.   ❝   Uh   hi...❞   Steve   stuttered,   moving   to   stand.   ❝   I'm   Steve.   Are   you...are   you   meant   to   be   meeting   me   here?   ❞   Yeah,   real   smooth.   This   was   going   wonderfully   already.

                              IT   MADE   SENSE   THAT   EDDIE   HIDE   OUT   at   Steve's   house.   His   parents   were   never   home   and   they   were   currently   on   business   in   California   and   wouldn't   be   back   for   another   two   weeks.   It   gave   them   plenty   of   time   to   figure   out   a   more   permanent   solution   for   Eddie,   or   prove   his   innocence   which   felt   like   an   impossible   feat   at   this   moment.   Especially   when   he   considered   that   Jason   fucking   Carver   was   basically   organizing   a   witch   hunt   for   the   guy.   No   one   would   think   to   look   for   Eddie   at   the   Harrington   residence,   and   their   home   was   far   enough   removed   from   the   city   proper,   and   blocked   by   trees,   that   no   one   would   easily   see   him   through   a   window.   So   Eddie   was   currently   living   in   the   guest   bedroom   and   Steve   had   to   admit   it   was...nice   to   have   someone   else   in   the   house   all   the   time.   Robin   came   over   a   lot   but   she   never   stayed   the   night   or   anything   like   that.   Steve   had   gotten   so   used   to   being   alone   that   whenever   he   heard   Eddie   moving   around   the   house   it   surprised   him.   The   fact   he   was   paranoid   as   all   get   out   anymore   didn't   help.   

In   the   time   that   Eddie   had   stayed   with   him   he'd   gotten   to   know   the   guy   better.   There   was   much   more   to   Eddie   Munson   than   the   rebel   without   a   cause   he   portrayed   himself   to   be.   Steve   found   that   he   actually   liked   the   guy.   Even   enjoyed   the   times   they   chilled   in   his   living   room   talking   about   absolutely   nothing   of   importance.   It   was   a   good   distraction   from   all   the   bullshit   happening   with   Vecna.   

But   when   Eddie   took   hold   of   the   back   of   his   neck   and   pulled   him   in   for   a   kiss,   Steve   froze   in   shock.   It   felt   like   it   came   out   of   nowhere   and   he   didn't   know   what   to   do.   What   he   should   have   done   was   pull   away,   tell   Eddie   that   he   wasn't   into   guys.   Except   that   wasn't   necessarily   true.   Eddie   was   attractive   but   Steve   had   never   tried   to   parse   those   thoughts.   Now   he   was   being   confronted   with   it   and   oh   fuck,   he   didn't   know   what   to   think.   

When   the   kiss   was   broken,   Steve   stared   at   the   other   man,   lips   parted   in   surprise,   eyes   wide.   ❝   I...what   was   that   for?   ❞   he   asked.   Steve   wasn't   angry,   not   at   all.   He   was;   however,   confused.

@fiercehearts​ said:  “Oh I see what the problem is… you think this is something other than casual sex.”

HIS   EYES   ROLLED   AND   HE   REACHED   FOR   THE   PILLOW   next   to   him,   lobbing   it   at   Billy   and   missing.   He   wasn't   really   trying   that   hard,   though.   It   was   a   good   way   to   distract   the   other   man   from   the   fact   that   his   words   had   cut   Steve   deeper   than   he   wanted   to   admit.   This   had   been   going   on   for   weeks   now,   and   he   felt   like   he'd   grown   no   closer   to   Billy   than   when   they   started.   The   first   time   they'd   fucked   in   the   locker   room,   Steve   figured   it   was   just   a   way   to   release   tension   between   them.   A   quick   bang   against   the   wall   and   then   they'd   never   speak   of   it   again.   Except   they   kept   meeting   like   that,   and   then   eventually   moved   to   other   places   such   as   the   back   of   Billy's   car   or   now   Steve's   bedroom.   His   own   emotions   were   beginning   to   confuse   him,   and   he   hated   himself   a   little   bit   for   how   much   he   didn't   want   Billy   to   stop   sneaking   through   his   window   at   night   even   though   his   parents   were   never   home.   

❝   Oh,   definitely   not,   ❞   he   replied   with   a   saccharine   grin.   ❝   I'd   never   be   so   stupid   to   think   a   tough   guy   like   you   might   actually   have   some   kind   of   heart   beneath   all   that   muscle.   ❞   Steve   reached   out   and   poked   the   other   man's   chest   for   emphasis,   though   a   moment   later   his   fingertips   were   caressing   his   skin.   ❝   I   literally   never   said   anything   like   that   so   I   don't   know   what   you're   bitching   about.   ❞   This   was   their   M.O.   The   fought,   they   fucked,   and   then   ignored   each   other   completely   when   other   eyes   were   around.   It   was   becoming   cumbersome.   

[hellxfireclub-moved]

Steve, where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Steve paused, slightly taken aback by the question. Not even his own parents asked him something like that. He'd never really taken the time to think about it, especially not when the world was practically ending and monsters were attempting to kill him and his friends every few months. "I don't know," he shrugged. "Hopefully still alive."

Steve eyes widen and he feels slightly stunned. He can also feel his heart slamming against his ribcage. This is an unexpected confession and he’s not quite sure what to do with it. His relationship with Billy is...complicated. He’s not even sure he can call it a relationship. They’re fuckbuddies. That’s the agreement. No strings attached. No feelings getting involved. Billy’s breaking that agreement and Steve knows the best thing to do is to walk away before he ends up with another broken heart. If only it wasn’t so fucking hard. 

“Is it really so bad?” he asks finally. “Is it really so goddamn bad that you feel something for someone for once in your life? That you feel something for me?” Steve shakes his head. “Jesus Christ, Billy...you’re still human. It’s okay, you know but if you don’t want me around anymore just say that.”

                 THEY   WERE   ALL   TIRED   AND   READY   for   this   to   be   over   with.   There   was   only   a   short   amount   of   time   left   before   they   were   going   to   enter   into   the   Upside   Down   yet   again   with   the   intent   to   kill   Vecna.   Steve   wasn't   sure   how   he   and   Eddie   ended   up   in   the   RV   by   themselves,   sitting   on   the   bench   seat,   but   here   they   were.   It   was   quiet,   neither   of   them   really   saying   anything.   What   was   there   to   say?   Good   luck?   Don't   die?   It   all   seemed   so   pointless.   There   was   a   strong   possibility   they   weren't   going   to   make   it   out   of   this   alive,   as   much   as   he   tried   not   to   think   about   that.   It   crept   into   his   head   anyway.   

He   felt   Eddie's   shoulder   brush   against   his,   then   the   other   man   was   leaning   against   him,   head   falling   onto   his   shoulder.   Steve   turned   his   head   to   see   the   guy   was   falling   asleep   against   his   shoulder.   ❝   Hey,   hey...are   you   sleeping   on   the   job?❞   he   asked,   jostling   Eddie's   head   gently.

One of the perks of Steve’s parents being mostly neglectful and having no interest in their son’s life, along with being gone more often than not, was that he had the house to himself. It also meant he could have whoever he wanted over whenever he wanted them to be. In this case, it was Nancy who he wanted at his place. He’d woken up that morning with her body pressed against his, her hair in his face, and he’d never felt more peaceful. It had taken everything in him to crawl out of the bed but eventually he did. Steve got up, threw on a pair of basketball shorts, brushed his teeth, and went downstairs to scrounge for something to make them for breakfast. 

He rummaged through a cupboard when he heard footsteps approaching, and when he closed it there was Nancy in nothing but her panties and one of his t-shirts. Steve felt a thrill run down his spine and he smiled at the woman before him. He closed the cupboard and approached her, hands settling on her hips so he could pull her close. “My shirt looks good on you,” he said softly. Steve bent his head to kiss her.

Steve crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at the boy with a raised eyebrow. Will was one of the kid’s he’d never really connected with. Not because he hadn’t wanted to; just because they’d never really had the chance. All of the younger ones were outsiders among their peers but Will? Well, Will seemed to be on the outside of even that space. 

“Okay,” he said slowly. “But what part are we forgetting about exactly? Just so I know to not bring it up again.” Steve didn’t want to make Will uncomfortable.
