what billy and steve would do once they're in california:
teaching steve how to surf (TOP PRIORITY) with lots of ribbing and cursing interspersed with challenges and laughter
very patient billy giving way to a highly entertained billy when steve keeps on falling off the board
billy showing off his Surfing Skills™ and preening under steve's impressed look
flirting ("ugh, move over, harrington. i'll show you how surfing is done here." "careful, hargrove, or your big head will weigh you down.")
billy cackling at steve when he's spooked by seaweed
steve retaliating with shoving aforementioned seaweed onto billy's face
which results in grappling and wresting on the sand
steve won
"because you cheated, pretty boy!"
"it's not my fault you're easily distracted by your dick, asshole"
short lunch break along the boardwalk, billy boasting how 'the food is better here than shithole, indiana, especially after surfing'
steve buying ice cream and billy staring because how can steve make even eating a cone so obscene???
billy and steve on a hammock together during a short break with billy laying still and rocking the hammock gently with one foot while steve is taking a nap on top of him
billy bitching to steve how heavy he was and how 'jesus christ, princess, my arm fell asleep' once steve wakes up
(but billy's still amazed and besotted how steve can fall asleep so quickly compared to how they first started sleeping together)
before going to cali:
billy carefully packs what they'll need vs steve fussing if they have all the things they need and last minute adding said things
they take the camaro ("don't be a baby, harrington, we'll take the beemer next time." "next time, huh?" *billy increases the volume*)
steve has a map on his lap and a polaroid camera nearby, carefully and happily documenting the trip because FIRST! ROAD!! TRIP!!! WITH BILLY!!!!!
billy grumbles but he always leans into the camera's line of sight anyway
both of them bickering what flavor of slushie is more delicious
billy letting his camaro fly down the road, whooping
steve yelping then crowing when he's used to the speed
billy rolling the windows down when they're near the coast and taking a deep breath, content because he knows the ocean is nearby and steve's right there with him
what more could he want?
