Ahoy There!!

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds. – Laurell K. Hamilton thinking about how if Billy ever did come back he would be covered in scars mentally and physically

“Two metalheads are better than one”

I said they would be besties so, of course, I had to draw them together!!

"It just happened," Eddie flung his hands in the air before letting them slap down onto his knees.

"Chrissy Cunningham kissed you?"

"Kinda. Yeah."

"No way, dude. Her and Jason are like that hardcore loved up couple who get married, have three kids and get a divorce after he fucks his receptionist. No way."

"Yeah, well not anymore," Eddie smiled lying back in the grass. "She dumped him."

"Now you're just making shit up," Steve turned to look down at him.

"Ask anyone. He keeps crying in the lock room," he replied erupting into laughter.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing!" he held his hands up. "She just came to her senses."

Steve shoved his shoulder. "No. When she kissed you."

"Oh," Eddie grinned and sat back up suddenly. "She kind of just leaned in and I wasn't gonna not let her."

"Oh, shit. You have a thing for her," Steve was the one to start laughing this time. "You have a crush on Chrissy The Cheerleader Cunningham!"

Eddie pushed him hard enough to send Steve sideways into the grass as he continued to be very much amused by the conversation. That was when a familiar car pulled up infront of the trailer across from Eddie's.

"You're just jealous because you're not getting any."

"You don't know what I do in my spare time," Steve sat up brushing the grass off his shirt just when the door of the rusted dented blue door of the Camaro creaked open and out stepped a short hair Billy Hargrove.

Scarred torso covered by a yellow sweatshirt as he shuffled after Max with the groceries. A slight wave in their direction as he juggled his keys and the bags. A wave which caused Steve to instantly wave back with a smile that told Eddie everything he needed to know.

"Oh, shit."

"What?" Steve asked still watching Billy walking through the front door.

"Holy shit!" Eddie let out grabbing Steve by the shoulders and shaving him slightly until he turned back towards him and shoved him off.

"What the hell?"

"You and Billy?"

"What?"

"Look at you. All mushy and smiling like a love sick puppy," a hard loud laugh escaping his lungs as Steve went red. "Preppy rich boy Steve Harrington and badboy turned quiet recluse Billy Hargrove. Wow."

"You're bullshitting again."

"Bet he fucks like a beast," Eddie smirked right Steve's face as he went red and tried not to look at him.

"I'm not having this conversation."

"Uncomfortable me talking about how hot your boyfriend is?"

"Shut up," Steve tried not to smile, to keep up whatever act they had going on but it failed.

"I'm right!"

"If you even hint to Billy you know I'll kill you."

Eddie jumped to his feet, grabbing Steve and pulling him up with him. "Right. I need to know everything. Let's go."

Oh how he would love that freaky club house and being in a garage band. He would totally be the worst and best lead singer off all time. Such an ego maniac but no one can write lyrics and belt it out like billy can.

Post StarCourt Mall he’s alive but covered in scars. And half the town secretly thinks he set the fire. So he dropped the basket ball team. And all his other friends. Except for one group, who believed him and was kind about his scars. His difference. Even if Eddie is a little weird, he’s the only one who said it was cool of Billy. That maybe being a freak wasn’t all bad. Or lonely.

Billy would extend that right back. He would believe that Eddie couldn’t be a killer. When the basket ball team comes sniffing around asking for Eddie’s location billy ain’t an idiot. He knows they want to kill him right back.

So billy tracks them down, follows Steve’s car maybe cause he knows the party is up to something. Is it the upside down? Is it the mind flayer again? Billy deserves to be part of this.

And oh it’s totally billy who comes around the corner of the school that Steve almost beats to death with a lamp.

“I could have taken you out, Hargrove! Jesus Christ!”

Billy would have fully understood all of eddies references while steve is totally in the dark about it. They would be an unstoppable duo.

“I don’t get it??”

“Don’t worry Harrington, pretty thing like you wouldn’t understand only those who are truly cultured would get it.”

“HEY! I’ll have you know that I am totally cultured, just ask robin!”

“Relax Stevie we totally believe you!”

“…..you guys suck. just come on and let’s get this over with so I don’t have to deal with the both of y’all ”
