Peter held out his hand and Steve placed his hand demurely in it and walked with him into the restaurant. Peter had a business dinner that evening so Steve had opted for a nice navy suit, he knew in this industry it paid to look good so he always put a little money aside so that he had a few good outfits for work. He found a few good suits, some nice trousers or jeans with a good sweater or shirt and he was all set.

Peter wanted to make a good impression, he seemed calm and collected on the outside but he had been requesting Steve from the agency for the past two years and he knew the signs when he was nervous. He had been preoccupied the entire time they were together, had gotten Steve to triple-check their reservation at the restaurant and he could feel the slight clamminess to his hand. Steve squeezed his hand gently, Peter turned to him.

“You look very distinguished tonight.”

Peter smiled at him.

“Nobody’s going to be looking at me when I have such a beautiful Omega by my side.”

Steve had always been good at poker so it seemed like a no-brainer to join an exclusive game to earn a little extra money. Everything was working out until he had to take a loan from Billy Hargrove.

Billy always collects on his debts.

The door closed behind him with an audible click. All the men seated around the long table that took up most of the room turned in his direction causing his face to heat with humiliation. Billy's gravelly voice rang out through the room.

"C'mere Bunny."

He looked up and saw him patting his thigh and Steve wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground as the men averted their eyes. Bunny. He hated that word with every fibre of his being especially when said in that mocking way that Billy said it. He used to be able to ignore it with a quick rolling of his eyes and an acknowledgement in his direction. Even if Billy made his blood boil he knew better than to cross him. No one crossed Billy and lived to tell the tale. He hadn't needed anything from him then but unfortunately for Steve that would all change.

For the 11th February prompt: Make You Feel My Love

Billy's large body slamming into his wasn't new. Since Billy had arrived in Hawkins Steve had felt his body bumping into him so hard that it left bruises every week. So he should have been used to it by now but for some reason that Thursday afternoon he wasn't prepared for how hard Billy would hit him. He lost his balance and landed heavily on his right side.

He had winced as he felt his arm bend at a funny angle under his body but he had jumped straight back up and pursued the ball. He had only taken a few steps before the pain ran through his body and he felt dizzy with nausea. Billy's usual smirk had slid off his face as he looked at him. His attention was riveted to his arm. Soon the coach was called and Steve found himself enroute to the hospital.

“Is that you Harrington or am I dreaming?” Well Billy’s night is taking a better turn now, he pushes his jacket from his shoulder and drops it, suddenly warm and he wants Steve to see him all dolled up and ready for a date he didn’t even bother canceling.

Steve’s footstep heavy as he drops off the last step and onto the dirt, “yeah it’s me don’t cream your pants.” Steve huffs out as he stops a few feet in front of Billy, just out of reach. “What do you want?”

Billy is amused, smiling as he steps closer, watching Steve’s feet shift like he wants to put more distance between them. Billy shakes his head, Steve still has not learned to plant his feet. “I’m looking for my sister, little red headed bitch.” Billy spits out bitch, angry with her, she should know better than to disappear on him, she knows how Neil can be.

Billy’s eyes flick toward the house when he catches a shift, more light spilling from a window, just in time to see Max and some other kids. Their eyes widen, mouths moving before they all hurriedly duck down. Billy’s jaw clenches as he turns his attention back to Steve giving him a chance to be straight with him, “you seen her?”

Summary:

Visiting a run-down bar on the edge of town wasn't Steve's smartest move especially as it was full of danger but he wants to see Hawkins in his rearview mirror. And he wants to go on his terms.

For the 10th February prompt: Bleeding Love

Steve could feel the eyes following him from the shadows as he walked across the dimly lit room towards the bar in the corner. The sound of the worn leather creaking on the ancient bar stool seemed to echo through the room. He carefully rolled up his sleeves until the still healing cuts just above his wrist were visible and waited. It didn't take long.

The Pearlo was a makeshift bar in a dilapidated building on the outskirts of town but it was well known to anyone with a heartbeat and enough desperation to make themselves known. Steve had discovered it almost by accident when he felt as though everything in his life was spiralling out of control. His parents forgot he existed until it was convenient for them and then they felt they could control every aspect of his life. He would graduate later this year and he had money hidden in the back of his closet. He didn't like to think too hard on how he'd acquired it but he was grateful he at least had something that his dad couldn't throw back in his face. He would never know about it or how he'd got it.

Steve spends all day avoiding Billy, even skipping gym class when he finds out they are in the same one. He only finds out later that Billy is too busy getting shown around the school for a scheduled run in. He cannot believe he is here, his boy in Hawkins and Steve is hiding in the lavatory by the theater that no one uses because everyone knows the air vents broadcast everything into the theater.

 

Part of him wants to go track Billy down and reintroduce himself now that they are finally back together. He squashes that and the bubbling elation right back down. Billy did not look for him. Why should he care that he is here now?

 

Steve leans against a frosted window, foot tapping as he smokes a cigarette ash dusting to the floor. It has been a while since he smoked, Nancy is not a fan and he tries to do what she likes. He should be focusing on her instead of Billy. 

 

Steve nods to himself, mind made up. Nancy, he should go find Nancy. Steve puts the cigarette out on the windowsill smearing ash before jumping down. 

“Fuck!” He groans as he sees dandelions pushing up through the cracks in the tile. This has not happened in a long time, he usually has better control than this. It is all Billy’s fault!
