Summary
It all starts with the bruises Steve didn't give to Billy.
Billy has a split from the top of his lip to the bottom, a black eye to match Steve’s black eye, and bruises on his jaw, same side as the split lip. Steve, didn’t do - that. There is too much damage there. He got what, three maybe four good punches in, but not good enough to make Billy’s face look like that. It looks painful. It makes Steve pause. He can feel the confusion showing on his face. Narrowing blue eyes meet his, Hargrove must be able to see it, his confusion. Billy tips his head back slightly and holds Steve’s gaze, taking him in while letting Steve do the same in return. There is a gash across one of his eyebrows too. Billy doesn’t shy away from Steve’s stare, he takes a slow drag from the cigarette he has pitched between his fingers making time feel like it grinds to a halt. He has this look in his eyes that’s challenging, a look that says, you don’t know me.
Steve can’t look away. Blames it on the bruises he didn’t give to Billy Hargrove. And the question, if he didn’t, who did?

Summary
“Your point, Harrington?” The boy was rambling too much, it was beginning to drive Billy nuts.
“My point,” Steve enunciates, “is I think we’re gonna be seeing a lot of each other, so I’d rather not have to avoid you all the time over petty bullshit. So, I want to give you a second chance, even if you don’t think you deserve one.”
In which Billy beats Steve's face in at the Byers’ house and Steve decides putting that behind them is probably for the best, but Billy just knows he's gonna fuck up again somehow.

Summary
Mr. Harrington takes a rose and instead of paying the price the beast of the castle demands himself, he sends his son in his stead. Billy is not sure what to do with an omega who not only does not cower away from him like everyone else but also seems to think he is a slob and keeps trying his patience.

“Your father sent you in his place?” Billy asks, unable to contain the question as he sneers hunkering down further in the shadows when the man’s big brown eyes turn in his direction. If the shadows were not so deep he would be caught in that gaze.
“Wait, what?” The man asks with a frown scent going sharp with anger. “What do you mean in his place?”
