Summary
“Make me,” Steve Harrington says, finally turning to look at him, his eyes dark and blank. He’s too drunk to hold a sneer. He finally gets a good look at Billy, though, and Billy sees it when it happens, when Steve recognizes him. Something in his expression crumples, a little, and then he’s on his feet.
Steve Harrington, Billy learns, as his world stays frozen, as the thunder booms, as he hears Rebecca’s worried little shriek from the other end of the bar, still can’t throw a very good punch.

This is a story where, after everything, Billy Hargrove healed. Steve did not.

Summary
Billy Hargrove knows how to disappear after nights like this — nights when the alcohol in his father’s veins fuels his anger and makes him forget where the line is.
What Billy doesn’t know is where to go when running isn’t enough.
When the damage isn’t just his anymore.
When the only thing that matters is keeping his sister safeHe shows up at Steve Harrington’s door with a bruised face, a sleeping Max in his arms, and no plan beyond surviving the night.
It’s enough for Steve — the same Steve Billy once tormented, the same Steve he once beat senseless — to open the door to both him and Max anyway.
And to remind Billy, through quiet presence, gentle hands, and the careful tending of old and new wounds, that he matters too and that he is not beyond saving.
