Summary: In which Billy has a crush on reader and he finds out she is abused

Authors Note: This isn’t something that I’m too proud of, I’m just in a really rough place in my life and I needed to put something out. I wrote something called Valerie a little while back but it wasn’t as well received as I thought it would be. I’m in a bit of a stoop, but ill work through it. 

Pairings: Reader X OC, Reader X Billy Hargrove

Words: 2,482

It was a Friday when Billy Hargrove fell for you. You were the shy, delicate, beautiful young lady next door and he had fallen for you. He had moved in next to you in September with the smell of sea spray and sunscreen and he was something of a breath of fresh air in Hawkins. Since you were neighbors, the windows of you kitchens lined up almost perfectly, and the view into the adjacent house was almost too perfect as there were only six feet between your houses. He had fallen for the girl next door without even speaking so much as a word to you.

Until you had been paired with him for an English project; you were to study and read Romeo and Juliet and write a collaborative paper on the tensions between two dominant superpowers— using examples from the Capulets and Montegeau’s— and relate them to real life. Topical and ironic.

You slid into the seat beside him and pushed the two desks together before opening your book to where you had left off and placed it face down on the desk. You picked the dirt from under your nail anxiously and your eyelids fluttered nervously before your eyes finally met the Keg Kings. He had one of the most gentle looks in his eyes that you had ever seen and there was a rosy blush on his naturally red cheeks. He reached over to you fiddling hands and held one of them in his own, shaking them lightly.
