#please send hate

one night, when steve wakes up in a cold sweat, billy is rubbing his back, holding him when he knows it’s ok and whispering in his ears. “it’s okay,” he says sweetly, rocking steve gently in his arms, “i’ve got you.”

that’s when he realises that he wouldn’t do this for any other girl he’s slept with, and that for what’s possibly the first time in his life, he’s trying to talk someone out of a panic attack. he’s reassuring someone after they had a nightmare. and not just anyone, steve harrington.
