    Summary

    Billy knows what’s coming, when the big cop comes back through the door. He’s ready for it. As ready as you can ever be, at least, when there’s a metric fuck-ton of pain headed your way and no way to stop it.

     


    Billy thinks he's ready for what's about to come. He has no idea.

    Summary

    “Steve,” she says again, with more urgency, and now he’s sure it’s Max. “I need your help.”

    Steve’s pulse goes into overdrive. “Max, what’s wrong? I can get Hopper- ”

    “No!” she cuts him off, talking fast. “No cops. There’s no time and, and…it’s so cold out there and—and there’s just no time okay? You have to trust me. Please. You know the road I live on? I need you to come here now, but DO NOT stop at the house, just keep driving past it, but come as fast as you can and…” she hesitates “And—you’ll know when you see. You’ll understand.”

    Summary

    Steve doesn’t realize it until July, until after everything has happened, but he’s known Billy Hargrove for years. He’s not sure how he figures it out. It’s sometime after stripping out of his destroyed Scoops uniform, but before scrubbing the blood off his face, before he digs into those bruises just hard enough to hurt. It’s not shocking or startling. It doesn’t knock him off his feet.

    &

    The red light turns green and Steve pulls through it. He’s looking straight ahead, out into the snow and the cold night air when he says, “He doesn’t remember.”

    He hears more than sees El shrug again. “No,” she says finally. “But he will.”

    -

    Steve remembers something important, but just barely. He has questions. In December, he gets to ask them. Billy--in the same concrete room the doctors have had him in since July--has questions too.

    Summary

    Steve hates that sometimes when he talks to Billy every single word comes out wrong or too slow, like he’s learning a foreign language. He guesses he kind of is.

    It should be easy. It isn't, but it will be.

    Summary

    Billy had known the second he’d walked into the cafe that this was the right choice, that this was the conversation they were going to have, but it still makes him ache a little to watch the expressions Harrington is definitely trying to hide flit across his face. “I--” Harrington starts, “Why?”

    A year, one month, and right around two weeks after the police station, Steve has a secret plan to host Christmas. Billy takes a trip back to Hawkins.
