Licking our Wounds

Chapter 13

Steve got dressed and headed to school like usual, his hole felt full and he genuinely believed it was Billy who had come back around that night to fill him. Steve didn't mention it as he met his boyfriend at his locker. "Hey..."

"Hey princess, got those on under there for me?"

"Yes." Steve smiled wide. "Of course."

"That's my good pet," Billy grinned.

Steve went to say something when Nancy came walking by. She eyed them both with a sneer. "What did you do to Barb?"

"Why are you still on this?" Steve growled. "What do you mean what did I do?"

"You were the last one t-."

Billy pushed Steve behind him. "Fuck you Wheeler, go to fucking class you bitch." Billy was raging and he wanted her dead. She looked the two up and down with narrowed eyes. Billy puffed his chest out some more and leaned towards her. "I am not against hitting a girl."

Nancy snarled but stormed off. "She has actual issues."

"I know... It's okay Stevie. We should head to class, I'll see you in the gym okay?"

Steve nodded with a smile. He would need to start changing in locker rooms to hide the fact he was wearing lingerie but that would be something he could handle. Classes were boring, but Eddie kept a close eye on Steve, skipping a class or two to hang out near Steve's class. The only classes he fully attended were the ones that Steve was also in. Eddie and Billy acknowledged one another at lunch, as Steve was trailing behind Billy. Billy cocked his head and raised his brow and Eddie quickly dropped his head but he continued to watch Steve's ass sway.

Steve grinned as he continued to walk.

They sat and ate lunch while talking happily. That was until Dustin came running to Steve. "Hey.. What's wrong?"

"Can we talk alone?"

Steve looked to Billy who waved his hand, Steve got up quickly and followed Dustin. "What is it kid?"

"That guy is picking on me again... I-." Dustin began to sob. Steve wrapped his arms around him tightly. "I've got you it's okay.. I've got you. I'll handle it I promise. I'll talk to Billy or..."

"Are you going to beat him up?"

"I may, but if it makes you better I'll do it. He can't be doing shit like that. I swear to god..." Steve held him a bit longer, the kid sobbing in his arms. Dustin hated feeling weak but in moments like this he was terrified. Being bullied and picked on was the worst. He wiped the tears from his eyes with a thankful smile.

"Just don't get hurt."

"I won't kid, I promise."

Dustin headed back to his table with Eddie while Steve went to sit by Billy. "Everything okay?"

"That guy is messing with him again. He just sounds so nervous... You know.. It pisses me off."

"Tell you what, invite him to your house to play some ball?" We can take care of him there."

"You sure?"

"I promise.. It's going to be just fine. We can take care of this together. I know how you are with the kids. They follow you like ducklings. If you're going to play mom to them, that makes me dad doesn't it?"

Steve felt his face flush. "Yeah.. It does."

"Good, so we are going to take care of him."

Steve looked him over, and smiled thankful for what he was willing to do for him and the kids. He squeezed his arm before heading to gym class. Billy changed close to the stall Steve was in while Eddie watched from a bit further away. Steve walked out with a smile to Billy, pressing a kiss to his cheek believing they were alone.

They headed out to play, Eddie was close to Steve nearly the whole game. He pressed his body against Steve during a pass playing it off like he was bumped. Steve turned to look at Eddie who gave him an eyebrow wiggle.

Eddie grinned before Billy side checked him. "Hargrove, watch what you're doing!" The PE teacher snapped.

Steve grinned when he spotted Dustin's bully. He walked towards him and smiled. "Hey, why don't you join me and my house after school. Thought we could practice some ball."

"We chill now?"

"Yeah, we talked it out." Steve smiled. "Didn't we?"

The guy shrugged. "Yeah.. Course. I'll see you then."

Steve wondered to Billy. "We have it set, he will be coming over. So we are going to just scare him right?"

"Right," Billy lied, "sure baby." Billy whispered.

Steve grinned, thankful Billy was so willing to take care of him and Dustin. School finished without a hitch. Billy met Steve at his house and waited. Steve offered Billy a water, hovering before he got down on his knees before him. "I wanted to thank you."

Billy smirked allowing Steve to please him. He took his full lenght, mumbing thanks as he continued to suck. Billy wrapped a hand in Steve's hair before he grunted. "Steve.. Yeah.... That's it love... That's it." Steve smiled, happily swallowing before he pulled back. A knock came to the door quickly after. "Good timing..."

Steve quickly stood up and headed to the door. "Hey man," Steve welcomed with a wide smile, "glad you could make it."

"Din't realize Hargrove was here."

"Thought it would add to the game."

"I see," he looked around, "just you two?"

"Yep, who else?"

"Wasn't sure. Let's go play ball."

The three headed to the court, they played for a while before Steve finally spoke up. "So, why are you picking on Dustin again. I thought we talked."

"Look, that little shit keeps getting in my damn way." He snarled. "If he didn't make it so easy maybe it would be easier not to."

"He isn't a shit." Steve snarled throwing the ball at the boy. "He is a good kid."

"What are you his mother? Why do you care anyway?"

"It isn't right for you to bother him. We talked about this."

"What are you going to do about it? Clearly you couldn't do this alone, could you? Is that why Billy is here, had to be your hero?"

Billy stalked forward grabbing his shirt. "Doesn't matter," he snarled punching him hard again and again. Steve watched with wide eyes.

"Billy... I- I think tha-."

Suddenly Billy had a knife in his hand, he thrusted it out towards Steve. "Do it baby."

"Baby? What are you both? To-togther? Th-this is rich." He groaned as blood continued to roll down his face. Steve looked Billy over. Wide eyed.

"Wh-what?"

"Do it.. Now. He won't leave Dustin alone, aren't you supposed to protect him?"

Steve looked between the bloody boy to the knife. This boy knew their secret now too. He reached for the knife with a shakey hand. Billy began to laugh as he clutched it clsoe to his chest. Steve bit his lip, how was he supposed to do this? Could he do this?

Billy looked him up and down. "Steve, now."

Steve was shaking, tears welling up in his cheeks. He looked back down at the blade. "You can't do-do it you bitch.. You fa-" Before he could finish the statement Steve's shaking hand rushed forawrd. "Uagh.. F-" Blood pooled around the wound. Steve looked to Billy before he dropped the knife.

"Good job baby, good job. I'll finsih the rest don't you worry now."
