Summary
“Yeah,” Steve says, “Yeah. Of course. Yeah,” and then he listens for a while and says, “Sure,” and then he stands up and settles the phone back in its cradle.
When he turns to look at Billy, it’s like he’s been reset. His expression is completely blank. Steve’s so still that Billy wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake him hard, make him move. The silence seems to stretch between them.
Finally, Steve presses his hands together, begins to fiddle with his wedding ring that means nothing in the eyes of god or the state and everything to the two of them.
He twists and twists and twists it.
“I have to go to Hawkins. Something is back.”
~
Or: In the spring of 1988, Steve finally told Billy the truth. In September 1989, Billy finds out exactly how real the monsters in Hawkins are. They did lose the blues in Chicago, but Hawkins pulls them back in.

Summary
In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”
“So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”
Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.
*
Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.

Summary
He’s barely had the chance to consider grabbing the half-empty bottle of Jack on the counter, when there’s a knock at the door. He startles, slopping coffee on the floor, and cursing under his breath.
It’s embarrassing how quickly his heart leaps, how he gets a little soft and mushy about the fact that someone’s here to see him. There’s no way it’s some rando, he lives in the middle of nowhere and it’s Christmas.
He has to clear his throat and pace himself, hold back from rushing too eagerly to the door. Takes the time to put his mug down first, wipe the coffee off his hand, walk at a reasonable pace to the front door, and—
It’s Steve.

Summary
“I knew you’d come.” Billy says then, handsome, illuminated like a movie star by the shimmering reflections dancing on the water, voice a low drawl as if he’s reciting a line from the script for some cheesy summer flick.
"Yeah? Seems you knew more than I did, then." Steve replies, shrugging one shoulder, nonchalant in a way that he knows ticks Billy off enough to come after him.
"Of course I did.” Billy smiles folding his arms over the tiled ledge of the pool, always so comfortable in his skin ”Wanna know why?"
"Sure, man. Whatever."
"Because you can't resist a temptation."In the late hours of a fading summer, Steve shows up at a cheap motel on the outskirts of Hawkins to meet his former high school rival.

Summary
Billy Hargrove and Max Mayfield are proud owners of Tether Café located in West Village, New York.
One day Steve Harrington, an indie rockstar shot into fame by a song he wrote three years ago, stumbles into the café in a desperate search for inspiration. Billy isn’t buying any of Harrington’s signature rockstar moves and puts him in his place, brushing off the guy’s good looks and even the fact that he is capable of making him speechless—which is unheard of.
Soon he realizes that Harrington is annoyingly stubborn and determined to break Billy's resistance and change his mind about never ever dating rockstars again.
