Spilling Over

Chap.3 Guns

The party was out on a field, Hopper trying to teach them to shoot. Nancy was the best so far, of course. Jonathan on second place and Will on third.

  "Harrington, you're turn." Hopper called him. Steve smirked, took the gun and landed three perfect shots. He handed back the gun and when back to his position in the grass.

  "What?" He smiled. Everyone was staring at him.
  "Sense when did you know how to handle a gun?" Eddie asked. He smiled. He was the only one.
  "Sense I was seventeen. Got a personal trainer."

  "From one of your old cool friends?" Will asked. He was really interested in them and Steve knew they would like him.
  "Yup, Argent."
  "He's not as cool as for example Derek."
  "I know, but being a hunter can't be that boring." Steve stated, smiling at the fact that Will thought Derek was cool. He was mostly grumpy. I mean he is cool but so grumpy and kind of boring. But I can always irritate him, that's fun.

  "Steve didn't have cool friends before us." Mike said.
  "Wrong, be didn't have any cool friends before Robin." Eddie said. He and Robin hade a weird kind of friendship, old couples thought they were a couple but young people thought they were just friends (which they are). Like overly sweet and touchy friendship.

  "No, Steve actually hade a pretty cool friend group before us and before his popular era."
  "Yeah yeah, I want to know who this Argent person is." Dustin asked.

Steve felt a stone fall in his stomach.
  "One of his old friends dad." Will explained. "He's a hunter, he hunt wild animals." Robin nodded, Steve hade obviously told Robin first. Well except the supernatural parts.

    "Tell us more about your amazing friends." Eddie said.
  "Well, no." Steve said and lays down on the ground.

He didn't want to talk about them, because it could lead to her. He didn't want to talk about that.
Or Peter. He felt dirty for missing him. Him. He hated him in the same way he hade hated Billy. But he loved him in the same way he hade loved Billy.
   Billy and Peter hade a special place in his brain. Both being selfish assholes. But also being his only gay relationships.
It hurts. Missing awful people. He knew that they hade treated him horribly and that they were awful people but he couldn't stop loving them. It was cruel. Like torture.
