Smoking About You

Chapter Thirteen

"You're going to bite through that pen dingus." Robin laughs while flipping through a magazine

Steve was thinking about last night, and he happened to be chewing on a pen while trying to think

"Robin," He sounded serious when he asked. She looked up from her magazine, "Yeah?"

"..do you think there is one main gate or multiple gates we would have to close?"

"Those kids have really corrupted you, haven't they?" She laughs, and Steve looks at her, "Oh, you're being serious. "

"I mean, yeah, I just want to finish this thing already." He rubs his eyes from tiredness as he asks

"When's the last time you slept Harrington?" Robin asked, seeing the dark circles under his eyes.

"I just couldn't last night, not after Billy saw something again."

"Do you know what he saw this time?" Robin asked, but Steve shook his head

"Earlier, I tried asking, but he kept avoiding my answer, so I got mad
and left."

That morning, before Steve had left, he was trying to ask Billy what happened last night, but Billy didn't answer

"I'll be fine, nothing bad happened to me, okay?" Billy said whenever Steve would ask

Sense Steve continued to ask if he was almost late for work, "Just tell me what happened, I could help."

"It was nothing. Just forget about it already." Steve groaned and checked his watch for the time

He opened the door and slammed it without saying anything else, Billy sat down, covering his face on the couch.

"You think one of those things Max had will help?" Robin asked, making Steve look up from the counter

"A walkman?" Steve looks at Robin, "Yeah! So he can turn it on when he sees stuff."

"That's not a bad idea, thanks, Robin." She smiles, "No problem dingus."

In the afternoon, Steve and Robin were left off early. After Steve dropped off Robin, he went home to go get Billy

When he got to the door, he tried opening it, but it was locked. He put the key in, not thinking too much

He looked inside and the lights were off, he went upstairs checking each room but Billy wasn't in any of them.

Steve's first thought was to call Max, though he didn't want to worry her if he's just gone somewhere

𝘞𝘩𝘺'𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺? Steve decided to wait it out. He sat down and turned on the TV, bouncing his leg.

An hour later, the sun started to set. However, Billy still wasn't home yet, Steve got up to grab his keys near the door

When he got to the door, he heard the sound of Billy's camaro shut off, and then a door slammed loudly

Steve quickly went back to the couch, sitting back down. It took a few minutes, but then there was Billy.

He walked in, tossing his keys on a table and slipping off his coat, hanging it up, he Billy looked up and saw Steve

"You're not supposed to get off till later." Billy says, looking away, Steve replies, standing up, "I got off early."

Steve walks up to Billy, "I'm sorry about what happened," Billy nods, still looking away from him

"I was just worried -"

"Here." Billy stopped him, handing out a small and black box, "What is it?" Billy didn't answer

Steve opened the box, seeing inside was a silver chain. Attached was a tag, Steve looked at Billy, who was looking at
box too

Steve pulled the necklace out, setting the box down. The tag was plain on the front, but when Steve flipped it there was writing, he brought it closer to read.

Wrote in perfect cursive, "Harrington."

"Wow."

"What? Do you not like it?" Steve's head jolted up, "No-no, I love it, but how did you get it?"

Billy smirks, trying to hide a smile, "I know a guy." He shrugged while answering

"Well, I don't know how the hell to get this on, so you have to help."

They both laugh at each other, "Turn around Harrington." Billy holds the necklace as Steve turns his back

Billy wraps the necklace around Steve, hooking the ends together, "There."

Steve turns around, and Billy grabs him, pulling him close to kiss him, Steve breaks apart, "So you forgive me?"

"Of course." Billy brings Steve back into their kiss, Steve doesn't pull away this time, making it last forever

Billy started to forget everything that has ever happened between the two as he laid down on the bed of Steve's

He watched as Steve got undressed. It began to get harder and harder to look away from him.

Billy pulls Steve into another kiss while Steve holds onto Billy's waist. They both break apart and make eye contact

"I lo -" Billy stops himself and gulps,
"You what?" Steve asks, Billy couldn't answer, but Steve wanted him to

"I just -" Steve looks at him closing, Billy feels like he might melt, "I just, love..this."

Steve smiles, "And what is, "this?" Billy grins, "Just this." He says, putting his hands on Steve's cheeks.

"In that case, I love this too."

Steve knew what Billy had wanted to say, though Billy didn't know if Steve understood. He only hoped.

It became a habit for Billy and Steve to fall asleep in the same bed. If Billy had still been awake, he'd look at everything in Steve's room over and over

Though he Steve was awake, he knew his room, but he didn't know Billy, Steve would spend his sleepless nights thinking about Billy

Sometimes, he would even listen to the breath patterns Billy had when he was sleeping

He already knew a lot about Billy, yet it didn't feel like enough Steve. He always wanted to know more.

𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺, 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘉𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦? 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵.

Steve fluttered his eyes open, seeing the back of Billy's head, his messy blonde curls laying on his shoulder

Steve moves his hair, tucking it behind Billy's ear and exposing his neck

He thought about before pressing his lips on Billy's neck, 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯?

When he removed his lips, there was a purple circle spread across the side of his neck.

Steve looked at the mark he realized he was satisfied. He got out of bed and found jeans to put on

Billy groaned after Steve tried waking him up, "You know how early it is?"

Steve picked up his clock to see the time, "11 a.m. too early?" Billy shoved his face in the pillow groaning again.

"Hurry, I'm taking you somewhere." Billy's head popped up, looking at Steve

"Where?" Steve slid a shirt, "I'm getting you something." Billy sat up, "Is this because I got you something?"

"Partially, I was already thinking about this before, though, now go get dressed."

"Why is what I'm wearing now not good enough?" Billy smirked as Steve looked him up and down

"We don't have to leave just yet." Billy adjusted himself as Steve got closer, "Then let's not."
