“and then everything just disappears.” for the prompt
Steve was asleep like this happened everyday.
If Billy hadn’t known this was still Hawkins, Indiana, he might have thought that was true.
It was shocking enough that King Steve “The Hair” Harrington had up and kissed him. For all Billy knew, Steve got it on with guys left and right. Although he’d never heard a rumor.
They were still naked in Steve’s bed.
“Stay,” Steve had murmured, before dozing off.
You didn’t have to tell Billy twice. Now he swallowed, his gaze still fixed on Steve in the dim light of the bedroom.
Steve had kissed him everywhere, even along the hard ridges of his scars. Steve had looked at him like he wasn’t a monster.
It had been so sudden. They’d just been watching Animal House (again) and as the credits rolled, Steve had stared at him. Billy had allowed himself to stare back.
They hadn’t said a word which Billy figured was better. He had no idea what the rules going to be or what Steve was going to say now. All he knew was, they were friends and hopefully they still would at least be that.
He had been holding it together pretty good for a while now. In fact, he was doing pretty well. He had a job he didn’t hate and he still went to therapy once a week because he knew now how to handle his shit. And sometimes there was shit.
“There’s always going to be shit,” Owens had said once, shrugging.
If Steve flipped and pushed him away, that would be an epic amount of shit.
The thing was, he was pretty sure Steve wasn’t going to.
