What if we made a place for each other out of love, never hate.

Billy & Jonathan are both introverts. They are also dating.

While I love thinking about a You AU where Billy becomes a killer with Jonathan- 

“I always knew you were my favorite.” 

I also love the idea of Billy finding out Jonathan is stalking/killing for him, and he just goes along with it. No one’s ever done anything like this for him before. He’s got someone watching over him. 

Billy finds Jon’s box of memorabilia, and maybe he should freak out, but he doesn’t. When Jonathan returns with waffles, Billy comes out of the bathroom, pretending to be clueless about what he just saw. 

OR: he walks out with the box in his hands, a smile on his face, and the promise of a thank you blowjob. After the waffles, of course.

For the most part, Jon is quiet. If Billy's being honest with himself, it unnerves him. He doesn't trust that serenity, because his father is ten times scarier when he's not yelling in his face.

But Jon hasn't forced Billy to retreat into his shell.

Not yet, anyway.

AU where Jonathan comes home to find Billy drugged and bloody on the floor. He helps Billy up and tucks him into bed. Billy has a few nightmares, so Jonathan cuddles with him to help him sleep through the rest of the night.

Billy: Jonathan, you're a middle-aged dad stuck in the body of an eighteen year old. Deal with it.

Jonathan: Done. I collect antique flashlights and wear prescription socks. It's time I own that.

Billy doesn't understand why Steve won't pay attention to him at Tina's party. He's done everything right, and... nothing.

Whenever he tries to make eye contact with Steve, the other boy is sucking his girlfriend's face.

I can't be here. 

So, what does he do instead? He gulps down every red cup he can get his hands on until his vision is blurry, and the ground below him starts to sway. 

“Rough night?” 

Billy blinks, trying to make out the face of the owner of the low, weary voice. All he knows for sure is that it’s coming from a boy, and the stranger’s hands are empty. “S...sober at a p-party? Not... having... f-fun?” 

“Nah, it’s not my scene.” 

“Th-then whyyyyyy... are you here?”

“My friend Nancy wanted me to get out of the house. Said I was “starting to blend in with my mom’s wallpaper”.” 

“Na-nancy?”

“She’s here with Steve Harrington. Do you know him?”

I wish I did. 

His silence is apparently a sufficient answer. 

“He’s not worth you drinking yourself into a coma, ya know.” 

“S... not why...” 

“Man, you don’t look too good.”

“Pop...popular opinion, t’night,” he sniffles, jerking a shaking thumb in Harrington’s direction. Here he goes, pouring the tip of his heart out to a stranger. Great. 

“What? No, no, I meant you look like you’re gonna pass out.” 

Just as he says that, Billy falls forward, only to find that this guy has stopped him from kissing the carpet. 

“I gotcha. You’re not gonna fall.”

“Gotta... go... home.” 

“You’re in no condition to drive, dude. I can... take you upstairs?” 

“Gonna make me... forget Harrington?”

“No! God, no.” 

You really shoulda let me fall. 

“I’ll help you up the stairs so you can get rest, okay?” 

Bullshit. At the least you’re gonna rob me. 

The next thing he knows, he’s being tucked into a bed, and he can hear his “good Samaritan” talking. 

“Your name’s Billy. I remember you from school. Steve just... isn’t worth the trouble, trust me.” 

“‘S my fault. I... really thought... I was good enough.” Stupid, stupid, stupid. 

“Not that my opinion should matter all that much to you, but I think you’re a pretty great guy, and you deserve better.”

“Better than- K-king Steve?” 

“Definitely.” 

Right before Billy falls asleep, he swears he hears, “If only you’d see... I’m right here. You’re enough for me, you just don’t know it yet.” 

But that’s probably just the alcohol mixed with wishful thinking.
