Roomies {Harringrove}

Day Nineteen

"Billy, you're awake, right?"

"Of course," he whispered groggily.

"Well, then... Let's get drunk."

"Why? Thought you were shutting me out?"

"Can't be near you unless I'm drunk, silly. And I want to be near you."

"Or we could just talk it ou-"

"No! Smirnoff, I vote Smirnoff!" Steve continued to whine until Billy just sighed and followed him up to the kitchen. Billy grabbed a bottle, refusing Steve's clamour for two but then they both fell silent when they heard a soft groan. Steve gripped his bicep instantly, moving behind him. "Billy...? You don't think-"

"Whatever you're thinking, no. I'm sure they're fine but I guess taking a quick look won't hurt." Billy's eyes widened when they'd gotten close enough to Maximus' room to see through the slightly agape door. His brows arched in surprise and he placed a firm hand on Steve's shoulder. "I... think we should go."

"Why-" Steve gasped, stumbling back when he saw Alex's naked back through the small slit of light with hands all over it.

"That's why."

"O-oh." Steve stared on, dazed and a little flustered until Billy yanked his arm. The hatch creaked open and they rushed down, Billy bursting out laughing as he cracked open the bottle of alcohol.

"Well, I never thought I'd see the day."

"M-me neither. I didn't know they... I thought they..." Billy just chuckled. Steve was oblivious, as always and he loved how cute his clueless expression was. He ruffled his hair, about to tease him when Steve looked up at him. The air instantly changed and Steve looked away before he got too lost in those pretty blue eyes, swiping the bottle out of Billy's grip and chugging some down.

"This really isn't how we should handle this," Billy mumbled, accepting the rest when Steve stretched it out to him. They both smiled to each other as the power began to take effect and Billy shrugged his shoulders, moving closer. Steve giggled as he backed away but of course, the room was small so he ended up falling on his ass on his bed. Billy laughed too and got down in front of him on his knees, staring at his roommates fidgeting fingers.

"Billy... Wh... What are you...?"

"Still nervous?" He whispered with a frown, taking both hands in his. Steve blanked out when Billy began to press his lips gently against his fingertips and knuckles, gazing at them tenderly. He finally rose his head once he was satisfied with the ground he'd covered, blinking his lashes at Steve. "I thought the Smirnoff would have taken a bit of the edge of. I guess I'll have to do that myself, not that I'm complaining."

Billy leaned closer and Steve hurriedly put space between them. He gave a tired grunt and plopped his head on Steve's chest, running his fingers over his chest and leaving goosebumps everywhere he touched. "Baby, please..."

"Wh- what are you-"

"I want more. I need more. With you."

"Billy, how many times do I have to tell you-"

"Oh, would you look at that? Someone looks happy to see me, unlike someone else who gets upset at my very presence." Hearing the words come out of his own mouth made him cringe but it was the first thing that popped up into his head. He ignored the sting and watched little Steve Harrington get more and more excited at his closeness, instead.

"Would you just stop? Please? I'm not gay, you dollophead." The way his heart stuttered to a stop for a moment when their eyes locked, Billy looking up at him with a teasing smirk said otherwise.
