never one to leave a fellow oddball behind, as soon as billy had spotted the lost boy, wandering in the woods adjoining his house, a turquoise gloved hand was held out silently to accompany him and lead him towards the warmth.  with little more than a softly spoken,  “come with me -- it’ll be warmer. ” it isn’t until they’ve walked a few more feet and the house is in sight, his wig threatening to become tangled in each branch the pass, that he asks -  “ how did you get here?  no one is around at this time of night.  when we’re inside you can call someone if you like? ” 

curious eyes peer back at the stranger over his shoulder as they walk, “you’ll have to be quiet, my father will kill me if he hears.”  then, finally,  “oh.  i’m billy - billy bloom. a pleasure.” and the bright smile for which the boy used to be known. one that had not been seen for a fair few months now.

“  yo,  b!  you  in  here?  i  found  this  big  ass  tub  of  cheesy  poofs  and  i  need  someone  to  keep  count  while  i  shove  them  in  my  mouth.  the  world  record  is  twenty-nine  but  i  can  sure  as  shit  beat  that!  ”  the  fact  that  she  gets  no  answer  back  is    .  .  .  unnerving.  the  fact  that  she  finds  bear  curled  up  in  a  corner  sends  her  stomach  plummeting  straight  to  hell.  “  hey,  ”  out  of  her  hands  the  container  tumbles,  landing  on  the  floor  and  running  away.  it’s  the  last  thing  she  thinks  of  as  she  kneels  down  next  to  him,  a  hand  resting  on  his  knee.  her  tone  shifts  into  something  rare  and  soft,  threaded  together  with  fear  and  concern.  “  bear,  what’s  wrong?  what  happened?  ”

       annette is not the type to know how one usually handles affection. she isn’t ever faced with the chance to learn, considering how skittish she is about any contact at all. her stutter increases if she holds a hand, face turning a bright pink before the blush spreads to her ears. anything much nicer or sweeter could send her thought process into a tailspin; it’s easier to never experience it. it’s already becoming increasingly difficult to be close with bear without her whole face turning an unflattering shade of pink. today she’s managing well enough, the blush at a minimum as she rambles quietly about some topic or other. she can’t quite make eye contact as she talks, gaze distant like she’s looking at the subject of her words. “o-or -- at least, that’s, um ... s’what i think. what d’you --” she turns to ask him his opinion, only to be cut off by a small kiss on the end of her nose. oh.

        her whole face turns red, mouth a small o & eyes wide. a small smile tugs at one corner of her lips, but her expression leans toward surprise. annette doesn’t know what to do with this, heartbeat fluttering & face burning. “oh -- o-oh. hello. um ... ah --” she adjusts her glasses, otherwise stationary. “oh.”

      “——is everything all right? you having car troubles or somethin’?” Adam asked as he hopped off his bike and walked over to the stranger next to his truck.

They spend most nights on the couch together these days-- it’s always a toss-up when it comes to which one of them ends up there first, which one joins them. Lee has come to terms with the fact that Bear’s just not as emotional as she is, as open as she thought he’d be; she’s slowly learning to lead by example in hopes that he takes a hint here or there. So far, it seems to be working, but there are still some barriers she has yet to break down.

Her chin rests atop his head, the witch’s arms lightly around him, Bear’s back pressed up against her. This time, she fears they’ve both had nightmares, even if he won’t admit it. Letting out a sigh, pale fingers trace circles on his chest. “...Bear?” There’s a slight hesitancy in her tone, her voice soft. “Can I tell you a story?” | @namedbear !!

she'd seen it, watched it happen while she was at school. its not as if she knew the building, just knew that she saw bear going into it. that had been enough. she'd sprinted out in the middle of a lecture, ran home only to find the closet empty. dashed to the gas station despite knowing he wasn’t working today. she'd tried to stop him before he got there, knew something was wrong, but she hadn’t managed. so of course she found the place, made it her mission to make sure he wasn't alone.

but it started the minute she walked in the door. old abandoned lab changing before her eyes into a modern looking lab, people walking around as if it were normal. but she'd felt the undertones, felt the fear and the pain. it had her frozen in place, no idea how long she was watching the world around her seem to twist and change constantly until she hears his voice. parts of the images remain, but mostly its back to the broken down lab. at least she hadnt had to search for him, he'd found her.

gaze is locked on him for a moment, staring at him as if trying to work something out. soon her gaze drifts around the empty room, landing on all kinds of things he couldn’t see until finally she lands her gaze back on him. “wh—” she wants to ask why he's here, what he was doing sneaking around in a place like this, but the words don’t form. instead the question that comes out feels far more important. “they— they experiment on people here, don’t they?”

“     wait     !     please—     i’m     sorry     ,     just—     wait.     ”     ok     but     sue     finding     out     abt     bear's     powers

bear had become like her rock ever since prom. he’d been the first - and only - person to really truly believe her, never questioning what she saw at all. he’d been so genuine, so sure that she saw what she said she did. and maybe sue had clung to that fact a little too much, had tried her absolute hardest to keep him around just to make herself feel better, but it wasn’t as if he’d been complaining. things were going good.

but then they were in danger. some guys had come at them, more specifically at bear. it was clearly violent, she’d been expecting him to defend himself, but she hadn’t been expecting that. the moment it happens she freezes, mind immediately going back to carrie. to prom. to tommy. chris. norma. billy. ms gardner. mr stevens. everyone. 

he steps towards her and it makes her take a few steps back. he’s trying, he is, but she can’t help it. she’s terrified. the last person who could do that had killed almost everyone sue knew, had torn her entire life apart in a heartbeat. he’d comforted her, he’d made her feel less insane. this was why he believed her. head shakes as she takes another step back, body trembling. “you’re like her.” doesn’t say the name, he knows who she means. saying the name would just make her break down even more.

the sound of humming carries over the soft crashes of the waves on the shore. billy has always adored the ocean at night, the reflections of the stars on the water, the peace and quiet. he allows himself to simply float, free and relaxed as he allows himself to be carried by the movement of the ocean. his musical humming continues, turning to whistling as he rests his elbows above the water onto the nearby docks where he sees somebody approaching. 

     “i wasn’t expecting company so late. are you lost, handsome?” 

pink shimmer on his eyelids sparkles and refracts the moonlight as he flutters his lashes, a shy, almost bashful smile aimed at the stranger as he tips his head curiously. humans, he thinks to himself, such beautiful and funny creatures. billy rests his head in his hands, cupping his own cheeks as he awaits an answer.
