    Summary

    At night, when the day's been too long and everything too demanding, Arthur lets himself think about how he wants Merlin to come back, just so he can turn him away. How he wants Merlin to come back just so he can yell at him and let him come back, anyway. How he hopes Merlin won't ever come back because he's scared that, if he does, Arthur will skip the yelling and the anger and go straight to relief. To forgiveness.

    Summary

    “Anyone there?” Steve tries again. He’s hoping it’s a person and not– well, something out of his nightmares. This could still all be a concussion induced dream, he supposes. Steve hasn’t been hit this hard since Jonathan laid him out on the street. And even then, he was able to walk away with his wits, but not his pride.

    “Harrington?” A voice, one that also sounds strained, speaks out. Steve knows that voice too, gets taunted by it every basketball practice since it waltzed into his life and shoved him to the ground, figuratively and literally.

    “Hargrove?” He’s asks, still incredulous that they’d be put in the same room. Then again, this isn’t a hospital. It’s rather shaping up to be a nightmare.

    -

    Steve is left behind after he's knocked out while the kids go and burn the tunnels. When he wakes up, he's strapped to a bed with Billy Hargorve as his roommate, at the mercy of a Russian doctor with "great" plans for the both of them.

    Summary

    Billy Hargrove's got this job. He throws a leaning stack of pizza boxes into the back of the Camero and drives them to the ungrateful and poor-tipping residents of Hawkins. He resents it in a million different ways for so many different reasons, but if it's good for nothing else, it allows him to see Steve Harrington a few times a week, which is just about the only damn thing he’s living for nowadays. Usually, it's a wordless exchange of Steve’s usual order. However, one night, Billy gets this terrible idea and pulls over on the side of the road. From that night on, Hawkins' has one less terrible-tipper and Billy Hargrove says much more to Steve Harrington than nothing at all.

    Summary

    Steve tries to send a risque picture to Robin to fulfill a bet, and accidentally sends it to Billy instead. There are consequences. Sexy, sexy consequences.

    --

    "I sent it to someone else!" Steve thrusts the phone at her, bats her hand with it until she uncovers her eyes and snatches it from him, pointedly looking up and very much away from Steve.

    At least, until she sees who he sent it to. "Oh my god, you sent it to Hargrove?"

    Summary

    In the most fundamental way, Hawkins’ mothers were a lot like they had been in California, with plenty of time on their hands now that their children were in high school: bored and restless with their husbands and looking for an orgasm. Billy figured it was a small enough price to pay. That if he played his role and played it well, he’d be rewarded afterwards. That for a few brief moments, before and after, when they swooped in to kiss his cheek or offer him bus fare, Billy would be able to feel the ghostly imprint of what it felt like to be in the presence of a mother who cared.

     

    (Or: Billy is drowning on dry land and Steve, having watched Billy from the sidelines for as long as he has, realizes just how much Billy needs somebody to care).
