I’ve rewritten the start of this post like five times so I give up!! Steve and Billy becoming friends bc they run in the same circles so they might as well get along and ofc they’re competitive so one drunken night they’re arguing about who’s a better kisser and Billy’s egging Steve on to ‘prove it’ and Steve can’t resist the chance to shut Billy up and shove his tongue in his mouth so he pulls Billy into a kiss that Billy is way too ready for and they make out until their lips are sore

That’s it send post

He's throwing off mad hints, Steve.

[harringroveguy]

Steve hates Billy.

Hates his stupid smirk when a girl at the bar asks for his number, his ego fed every time.

Hates how he knows exactly what buttons to push to get a rise out him.

Hates when he has too much beer, and gets a little mean before throwing up in their sink after realizing he sounded a bit like Neil.

Hates when he won’t let Steve touch him because it’s “too crowded”. “Too public”.

Hates how much he loves him.

How much he loves when Billy stops by to see him at work, and sometimes brings both he and Robin food.

Loves how easy it is to get him to shut up, kissing him deeply always resulting in a whimper leaving the blonde’s lips.

How he loves when Billy asks for five more minutes in bed on mornings that are extra cold, stealing whatever warmth he can from Steve before getting up for the day.

Loves how he’s repaired his relationship with Max and the rest of the kids, and how he’s just as protective of them as Steve is, maybe even more so, not that he’d tell them.

Loves how often Billy whispers sweet nothings to him for no reason other than wanting to, or knocking knees under the table, and casually throwing an arm around him in the safety of their friends and family.

Steve hates Billy, but he loves him, too.

i just think that if billy and Steve had gotten to be friends, Steve would be dizzy about how aggressively billy is on his side. Billy’s not good at having friends instead of lackeys and so he’s too honest, too passionate about it. They didn’t even know each other and billy was telling Steve not to worry about finding someone else because he’s so pretty, yes there was a veneer of dickishness about it but that’s just billy.

Billy compliments Steve on his rich boy cologne, his sick keg stand stance, is the first one to notice when he gets highlights. He’s the first person to ever call Steve smart. Once he yells it at Dustin who is leaping into a ridiculous plan to fight the demodogs. Dustin is mad as hell and snipes “you always take his side!” And billy yells “yeah! Because you idiots don’t have his strategic mind, maybe if you listened to his plan we’d be alright!”

Steve says shit like “um, maybe Vecna was a …clockmaker?” And the kids snigger and billy is like “DO WE KNOW THAT HE WASN’T A CLOCKMAKER? You tiny bastards. You know nothing.”

Just insanely on Steve’s side. And Steve is so fucking loyal in return that they’re basically each other’s greatest defenders. No loyal knight/king dynamics here. They’re both insane. Attack dog 4 attack dog.

Eddie leaps out of the boat and jams a knife into Billy’s neck and Steve is already whaling on him with an oar. Mike is whining about how Billy sucks and Steve is like “you don’t get his sense of humour, it’s not his fault you’re not funny.”

Max is complaining about how fast Billy drives and Steve is like “uhh, skate then? Selfish.”

Robin asks him if Billy wears eyeliner and Steve is like “I don’t know, maybe he’s just that beautiful naturally.” But he does know. He’s just not gonna let anyone assume anything, even his kinda fun new coworker. And maybe it makes Robin’s eyebrows raise but she’s not wondering if Billy’s the kind of guy who wears makeup anymore, she’s wondering about Steve, and that’s fine.

“I won’t tell if you won’t”

Maybe there is a beast by @harringroveheart

"You came" "You called" trope can be so heartbreaking (in a good sense) and heartwarming when it's about enemies to lovers or enemies to family ships/duos.

Steve : going through a painful breakup with Nancy

Billy :

[harringrovefresh]

AU where Billy arrives late to the Byers house in season 2. Late enough that Mike got fed up of trying to argue with Steve about the tunnels and decided to drug him.

So when Billy arrives its either to see Max, Lucas, Dustin and Mike kidnapping a totally drugged out King Steve OR he passes them on the road to the Byers when theyve already stolen steves car (thats at the byers for this au) and turn into the umbrella academy meme with Max and Billy cruising past eachother like 👁👄👁

harringrove au were one of the first things tommy mentions at the party about 'former king steve' is that he has a big fucking house and his parents are absolutely never home. and billy immediately is mentally like, okay this fucking loser has no friends and is presumably desperate for company and has a place i can crash constantly to avoid my dad? i can use this. i am about to be this losers best friend forever

and one of the first things steve learns about billy is that he's a "punch first ask questions later" kind of guy. maybe tommy's trying to freak steve out and he's listing all the shit billy's already gotten into, how the guy is covered in bruises, etc etc. and steve's immediately mentally like, okay this asshole has no friends and is extraordinarily violent, if i get him to stay at my place i will have Someone Else Helping if that monster thing comes crawling out my pool to kill me. i can use this. i am about to be this losers best friend forever

and then they fall in love but through 5 layers of duplicitous behavior instead of any honest communication
