Summary:

Everything in Billy’s life changed the night of his dad’s first date with Susan. He was attacked and bitten by a monster on the beach, then he met Max. He’s slowly changing into a monster just like the one that bit him, and that would be terrifying if it wasn’t taking a backseat to the redheaded girl he can’t seem to get out of his head. She’s too young for him, she’s the daughter of his father’s girlfriend, and he’s never been any good for anybody, so she’ll probably only get hurt in the end. There are a lot of reasons why he should leave her alone… but he’s not going to.

Pairing: Billy Hargrove/Max Mayfield

Here's a banner I did for the @billybigbang :3

I was immediately hit with the image of this old porn meme but with Billy surrounded by different other characters of Stranger Things being down to show him a good time 😏💕
