The King and The Joker |Steddie

Sorry dad.

(TW: ABUSE AND SLURS!)

Billy went home after eating breakfast with his boyfriend's. He pulled into his driveway with his blue Camaro. He noticed that Neil's car was still there. He prepared himself- because he knew he'd get beat for not coming home last night.

He gently pushed the door open, and his eyes met Neil's. Neil was sitting on the couch, and didn't say a word. A half empty beer bottle in his hand.

Max quickly ran around the corner to Billy and hugged him.
"Billy!! I'm so glad your home! Could you please take me to the mall? Me and El are hanging out there today!" Max pleaded, as she started pushing Billy to the doorway.

Billy knew what she was trying to do, but he knew it wasn't going to work. "Thanks for trying, Max." Billy whispered to her as Neil stood up from his chair. Max moved out of the way, so she didn't get hurt.

"Where the hell were you last night son!?" Neil shoved Billy against the door
"I was just at a friend's house..." Billy slightly bit his lip.
"A whores house? Or a faggots? Which one was it!?" Neil's hand made forceful contact with Billy's face, Billy winced in pain.
"I- I just went to Heathers! Her family invited her over for dinner because I covered some of her shift for her!" Billy was worried that his father would see through his lies.

Neil sighed "You know your supposed to do your fucking chores before you go anywhere! And you disobeyed me! I wouldn't mind if you went to Heathers house as long as you did your FUCKING CHORES!" Neil took Billy away from the wall and very forcefully slammed him back into it.
"O-Okay! It won't happen again sir!" Billy held his tears back, his head was bleeding from the contact with the wall.
"God damnit.." Neil threw Billy on the ground, and walked back to his chair. He picked up the beer bottle and sat back down.

Billy didn't bother getting up- he was still wincing in pain
"The hell are you still here for, you faggot!? Go take your god damn sister to the fucking mall!" Neil yelled
"Yes sir!" Billy got up quickly, and followed Max out of the door.
He walked straight to his Camaro, not saying a word. Once Billy pulled out of the driveway max finially said something.

"I don't actually have to go to the mall.." she looked at the blonde.
"What the fuck. Where do you want me to take you then!?" Billy was furious, and sounded like it too. The anger in his voice scared max. Her eyes started filling up with tears, but she tried to hold them back. She didn't want Billy to think she was weak. She had never actually seen the boy cry before, so she just assumed he didn't.
"Steves-.." max answered, with a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Look, Max. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell.. I'm just in a lot of pain right now, okay?" Billy looked at the red head.
"Yeah.." Max nodded.

Billy took max to where she wanted to be, and took her up to the door. Max knocked and Steve awnsered.
"Mad max!!!" Steve chuckled god he was so cute "good to see you again! Come on in! The others are waiting for you!" Steve gestured for Max to come inside.

"So your really just gonna leave me out here like this?" Billy asked Steve
"Jesus Christ! I didn't know you were there- you sca-" Steve paused the second he saw the blood. "What the fuck!! Who did this to you!? I'm gonna fucking kill that bastard!" Steve ran out to his boyfriend, examining his new cuts.

"I wish you could, Steve. I really do." Billy laughed slightly.
"Come on. I'll get you cleaned up." Steve grabbed Billy's hand and pulled him inside. All of the teens just stared. Steve was holding this douchebags hand, Billy was covered in blood, and they were in Steves house? What was happening.

Steve forgot that the kids were there. He was holding Billy's hand. He froze in his steps
"Steve, why are you holding Billy's hand?" Dustin asked
"Yeah, Harrington. Why are you holding my hand?" Billy teased. Billy love teasing this boy, it was so fun for him.

"I- he's hurt." Steve dropped Billy's hand.
"Yeah- we can clearly see that. But why are you holding his hand?!" Dustin asked again
"Cuz.. he's hurt." Steve just ran up the stairs, leaving Billy behind. Billy just stood there, with the kids all staring at him. Billy shrugged and walked up the stairs after Steve.

"Pick the movie! We'll be down in a second!" Steve shouted, and got a 'okay' from all of the kids. Steve patted on his bathroom counter "sit." He commanded.
"Your hot when you tell people what to do." Billy smirked.

"Stop it Billy.. let me fix you up." Steve shook his head, and spread Billy's legs open, and stood in between them. Billy was shocked that Steve really did that-. His face turned slightly red, but neither of them said anything. He grabbed a wet rag, and gently wiped Billy's nose, and forehead. He then wrapped his hands around Billy's neck, pulled him closer, and then gently wiped the back of his head. All- or most- of the blood was gone now, just cuts were left. Steve put a bandaid over the bridge of Billy's nose, since that was the worst cut.

"Thanks princess." Billy thanked him, as Steve packed all the items back in the white kit.
"Mhm." Steve mumbled.
"What's the matter? My thank you not good enough for you, princess?" Billy raised a eyebrow, but Steve ignored him. Billy forcefully grabbed Steve's chin and pulled him into a kiss.

They kissed for about minute, and then stopped. Billy hoped off the counter and walked downstairs, leaving a flustered Steve alone in the bathroom.
