"I remain the king" Billy x Steve (stranger things)

Ch 32

Billy POV
"I still love you, Steve" I called out, I was close to crying but I held back tears. I couldn't cry, not yet. I stopped myself from running towards him he was standing there. Frozen, I guess In shock. It was weird to see him like this. He was never the type to just freeze whenever he heard something. I finally got the courage to take a few more steps until I was standing directly next to him. I didn't speak, there was nothing more I could say.

"Billy... I can't" he finally whispered. I watched his breath fly on the wind.

"There is nothing for us here, Billy. I can't just stay with you. But I need you to promise me something"

"No, no not happening. Steve I believe in us." I argued turning and finally staring down at the boy in front of me. He wasn't crying but he was definitely close to it. I shook my head not believing what he was trying to tell me. He didn't want us to work. He didn't believe we could actually be something in this shit town. But I knew we could.

"Don't tell me your giving up on me" I stuttered, he just shook his head. Putting his head down as I stared at him. He was so broken, maybe it would be better if he left. Maybe he needed this freedom. He deserved it after everything I put him through.

"Steve.." I tried again, barely finding my voice to speak to him. He lifted up his head and stared at me. Before reaching into his shirt and pulling out a necklace. It had a silver chain along with a blue pendant on the bottom of it. The blue pendant was beautiful, it shown in the dark moonlight. It was definitely pretty, I watched as he took it off. Goddamnit Steve.

"When you gave this to me, you told me that it meant I was strong and had nothing to fear. That I stood strong for this relationship. That I led it. But you were wrong, I was a coward. I was a liar. I don't deserve to have this. So I'm giving it back" His voice only slightly gave away how he truly felt. He didn't want to do this. But he did. I watched as he brought the blue pendant to his lips. He kissed it before grabbing my hand and placing it there.

"Steve, no" I mumbled, tears fell from my eyes as I stared down at the necklace. I finally looked up as I heard the leaves start to crunch.

"No, you don't get to do that" I yelled, I had tried just beat not to raise my voice at him. But I lost it. That was what made me lose it.

"Billy, I was a coward. That necklace is just a reminder of.." He cut himself off before turning around and wiping his face with his sleeve. I shook my head as went towards him again and grabbed his shoulder. His body fell towards me and I'm surprised he didn't stop himself. I held onto him practically begging him to stay with me.

"Steve please" I tried once again, but I knew it was no use now. The Steve that I wanted was only a fraction of what he used to be.

"I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me this is what you want. Tell me you hate me and want to leave!" I yelled in his face. It wasn't directly meant for him but it was at the same time.

"If that's what it will take for you to leave. I will" he stated. But I knew, I could hear it deep down that he didn't want to say it.

"Say it then" my voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't make eye contact with me anymore. I scoffed. Throwing his shoulder away so he was now entirely facing me. I stood tall, broad shoulders and all. I faxed him with the last bit of strength and courage I had. I stood directly in front of him, my chest almost touching his. Our lips almost touching. I reached my arms up. I gripped his waist with my hands. I watched him not react, so I did the only thing I said I wouldn't ever do.

I dropped to my knees in front of him.

I watched as his eyes widened in surprise and he looked down and stared at me. His eyes met mine as I held onto his waist and stared up at him.

"Billy" He breathed. His eyes watching me as I put my head against his stomach.

"Let me make things right, let me be worthy of you. Let me be worthy of your love, Harrington. Allow me to deserve you." I said my head against his stomach. As I listened to his heavy breathing. I waited for his answer. I waited for what felt like an eternity for him to finally respond.

"We don't- I can't"

"You can, Harrington. Your just too scared to try"

"You hurt me so bad. When you broke up with me I genuinely thought you hated me. I thought you were going to tell the whole school about how much of a.." He trailed off, but I could hear it in his voice. I knew what he was going to say.

"I know, I know and I'm so sorry. Nothing can make up for what I've said or done. I know that now. But I promise you. I promise that this time I won't make the same mistake. I know you can barely trust me. But I also know that I won't hurt you again. If you genuinely need time Steve. I will give it to you." I scoffed at the end of my sentence with how cheesy it sounds.

"Hell, I'll give the world if you ask Steve just..tell me what you want" i felt his fingers go underneath my chin to lift my head up. I lifted my head up and stared into his beautiful eyes.

"You finally bowed to me " He whispered before leaning down and capturing my lips in a kiss.

"I remain the king"
