Shake it like a bad girl, all up in Hawkins

[Harlem — New Politics]

[morganbritton132]

Robin, snooping around Steve's room while he's in the shower, comes across a box of old discarded school assignments in the back of his closet.

Really old.

Some of this stuff is from elementary school.

She thinks that maybe it will be fun to go through it and see what kind of student Steve was. Maybe she'll find something that she can tease him about. Maybe she'll find something that can be an inside joke in this new friendship.

She digs through the box and grabs the notebook at the bottom.

There are random stickers on it and Steve's name written on the cover in his little kid handwriting. Jackpot.

Little kids are hilarious. She'll surely find something in here.

She flips the notebook open to the first page and it says, "STEVE HARRINGTON'S RULES TO 2 GRADE."

She thinks, this will be good.

And then she reads the small print that states, "4 Sara Hoper's eyes only! If your not Sara go away!!!!!"

Robin freezes.

Everyone in town knows about what happened to Chief Hopper's daughter but...Sara was so young. Robin never considered that people knew her. That Steve Harrington knew her.

She puts the notebook back.

She shoves the box back into its forgotten corner and she leaves with a heavy heart to snoop somewhere else.

If Billy and Max had a good relationship. Maybe we could see something like this😂

[shieldofiron]

Billy: And I'm like... so chill. So chill.

[morganbritton132]

Dustin: Steve, quick. What's the easiest way to bully someone?

Steve: How would I know?

Dustin: You were - Mike, hold on. Steve, you were a bully.

Steve: I wasn't a bully. I was like, just an asshole. I never beat anyone up, other than Jonathan and-

Dustin: That's debatable.

Max: You're not asking the right question. Steve, quickest way to ruin someone self-esteem.

Steve: Oh. Group booing.

Max: Everyone boo Mike

Max: Boooo

Dustin: Booooo

The party: Boooooo

Billy being obsessed with Steve is great, but Steve being obsessed with Billy??? I'll eat that shit up any day.

Steve has no idea why he thinks about that blond so much. Loud-mouthed, disrespectful, never pleasant.

Steve keeps showing up at the community pool, even though he has a pool at home. Dustin even asks him one day, "Why are you always here? I mean... doesn't your own pool work anymore?"

Steve doesn't answer. He lets his sunglasses hide his eyes, completely transfixed by Hargrove, shirtless, his skin gleaming under the sun as he argues with a bunch of bratty kids.

Even at a party, distracted while talking and laughing with Robin, Steve's attention is always stolen the moment Billy makes his presence known. He tries. He really tries to pay attention to the conversation, to the way Robin dances awkwardly or how she's terrible at flirting. But it's impossible. Impossible for his eyes not to drift toward the way Billy holds a cigarette like he doesn't have a care in the world, how effortless and razor-sharp his smile becomes whenever he spots a pretty girl he's interested in, how Billy easily broke his record by becoming the new Keg King, and how he never misses a chance to brag about it.

Steve dreams about Billy.

He doesn't want to. He hates Hargrove's guts. But there he is. That razor-sharp smile. That infuriating confidence. That low, arrogant voice saying, "What's up, pretty boy?" as he closes in on Steve, trapping him against the locker room bathroom wall. Steve feels his skin prickle. At the same time he wants to shove Billy away and fucking punch him in the face, he also wants to see just how far this teasing will go. Billy lets out a quiet laugh, his warm breath brushing against Steve's face.

"Cat got your tongue?"

Steve wakes up.

He's drenched in sweat, doesn't know where he is, feels drunk. Shame crashes over him the moment he realizes what that dream did to him.

He's hard.

And he can't deny it anymore.

He's hopelessly obsessed with Billy Hargrove.

[vanycat]

You know that habit that Steve has of licking his own lips when people threaten him and slam him against objects? Yeah. That.

[lifeguardbilly]

reading harringrove fic where they act like there is a drastic height difference between steve and billy when joe is  5′ 11″ and dacre is  5′ 10″.

[ihni]

Okay but that one inch is DELICIOUS because you KNOW it would annoy Billy to no end. It’s not drastic, but it’s THERE. XD

[camaro-and-smokes]

[myrkky]

The other night right before falling asleep I had the idea of Billy messily drinking a milkshake with his tits out.

[gr33nish]

i love love love billy and chrissy friendship, like

they both have abusive parents and i think they would relate a lot on the controlling disappointed parent thing, i also think billy sees a bit of his mother in chrissy (especially if you headcanon jason as abusive/toxic) and i think he has an easier time opening up to girls in general (only when they're not trying to fuck him).

i love fics where chrissy is billy's beard and billy is the reason people leave chrissy alone, i also love them pining together thinking it's hopeless (harringrove and hellcheer my beloved)

[tobiasslash]

“I’m real, pretty boy”

@flippyspoon

[teeteatess]

harringrove au where steve is famous musician and billy is biggest fan

[onearmedlegend]

Guys I had a dream last night that Harringrove was technically canon because they wrote AND FILMED Steve and Billy’s first ‘hate-kiss’ but scrapped it last minute. And someone leaked the footage and everyone was GIF-ing it and reblogging.

And then there were comments saying, “We knew Joe was acting weird for some reason!!”

The anger I felt when I woke up.

[necro-nonnie]

Like when you’re arguing for the millionth time with that other undead asshole you’re stuck with in an even shittier version of the shitty town you both used to live in, about how the metal he listens to is garbage (it’s the only thing you two can do for the rest of eternity), and suddenly your ex-situationship gets spat out of the ground...

[stevenjenniferharrington]

I just know that Steve and Robin are the worst gossips in Hawkins. They learn all of the movie watching habits of the customers of Hawkins Family Video (I mean, come on, they knew when Vickie paused Fast Times, they keep a record of this stuff.)

So it’s not uncommon to overhear them on a slow day like…

Robin: you’ll never guess who checked out Rocky Horror Picture Show

Steve: yeah, I know, Munson checks it out every Friday—

Robin: Jason Carver

Steve: JASON CARVER?!!

♥︎ Stupid Questions ♥︎

Harringrove • E • 6/6 • ao3

Chapter 6: +1

So, Harrington’s called it quits on this little painstakingly confusing, mind-numbingly amazing, secret sex thing they’ve got going.

Which is just fine. Yeah. That’s fine. Billy’ll keep his to himself; all the good it’s done, him sharing his thoughts and not lying once.

And yet, here they are, not a week later, and he should have known it was a terrible idea. It's so obvious in hindsight. But, in reality, how in god’s name is Billy supposed to say no to him?

———

Or: Five times they fight and don’t kiss and one time they fight and then kiss.

people don't understand that my top!steve is still obsessed with his appearance, still preppy, still pretty, still nice and soft and sarcastic and bitchy and kind, he still wears lipgloss (season 3 steve the prettiest of them all) and short shorts and kakis, and he loves billy so so so much and he likes to make him cry in bed <3
