♕ King of the Ratboys ♕

when your brother is gay and stupid and you just want him to stop talking forever

he turns the heat on, but the house is so big and void of people that the cool air lingers, and he feels it the most when he wakes up

a cold nose and frozen fingers, curled up in a ball under two blankets, shivering a little

he hates it

that is, until Billy starts sleeping over

he radiates warmth like the sun, curling around Steve at night and holding him close, pressing lazy kisses onto the nape of his neck in the morning and Steve presses back into him, all but purring like a cat in a sun beam

because that’s what Billy is, with his tanned freckled skin and golden hair, his blinding smile that’s so rare, warming Steve from the inside out with just a glance

they met up at beach bar in California 🍹🍸🏖

He also had multiple opportunities to use such language to insult or bully Steve but be didn't. Nor anyone else. He calls Steve a "Bitch" and "Pretty Boy". That's about it.

But do you know who does use homophobic language, specifically towards Billy? His father. The only interaction we see between Billy and Neil he uses these words against him, knowing it will work because he's been doing it for years.

Now, normally kids who get abused by their parents use what has been done to them against others, just as Billy does with Max and people in general but he doesn't use homophobic language. His dislike of Lucas probably comes from his father's views but you don't see him calling Steve anything homophobic or targeting possibly queer characters like he did Lucas.

It's as if such language has a personal affect on him and so he doesn't use it against people, because he understands how it feels.
