Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington
Each afternoon has been getting longer and lighter as the days drip towards June—the same June Steve’s waited for since freshman year, dreaming about walking across the stage and then walking and walking some more, not stopping until he reaches a different town that’s worth staying in.
Steve eyes the mail on the table.
No wonder he was so eager to leave at fifteen, when a different town just meant new faces at familiar parties, the guarantee of Tommy and Carol in tow like leaving the child-lock on. He feels more like crawling, now, not walking—towards June and graduation next Friday and a million-and-one towns out there that Steve won’t end up in without a good reason.
