You saved me / harringrove

He knew who it was that sent him the note, who else could it be besides Hargrove. He picked up his books and walked straight to the locker room.

Upon arriving Steve was surprised with who he saw sitting on the little wooden bench.

"Nancy? What are you doing in here" he asked as he sat down next to her, her head moving up and a smile forming on her face.

"Well I noticed before that you weren't look so good and I wanted to make sure you where okay. I always wanted to invite you to a party with me and Jonathan tonight but you left the table before I could mention it". She said nearly all in one breath. Steve was shocked that Nancy still cared, why wouldn't she though, they had dated and even after the last party and her and Jonathan getting together, Steve was okay with her and currently Nancy was his only friend.

"I suppose it could be fun" Steve said with a smile appearing. And for the first time he meant what he said, maybe a party would be good, maybe he could even get his 'King Steve' title back.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea that Nancy had. Currently Steve was standing outside of someone's house, someone he didn't even know. Nancy and Jonathan had already started to walk inside.

Steve caught up as they all walked through the door together. It had been a long time since Steve had been to a party and nothing had changed, there was still teenagers getting drunk, making out with people they don't know, people smoking, people dancing and Billy. Billy was currently smoking outside with a huge crowd around him, not like Steve cared.

Steve made a beeline for the alcoholic drinks, trying to find the strongest thing he could possibly find. There was already some kind of punch made but that wasn't strong enough. Steve ended up mixing everything he could find until he had a drink that he could barely swallow.

He looked up from where he was making his drink to see Nancy and Jonathan dancing around looking madly and deeply in love. It reminded him of the last time, how they were the ones dancing and how they were the ones madly and deeply in love, but that was all bullshit.

Steve finally swallowed the whole drink and then made his way outside where it wasn't as loud and sweaty. He sat down on a deck chair as he stared at the teenagers all dancing around.

Steve should be happy like them, he should be dancing and drinking and not caring about anything else. But after everything Steve has been through there wasn't time to stop caring, he had to care for the kids all of them had been through so much. He had to care for himself, he had to care for Nancy and even Jonathan and as much as he hated it he had to look after Billy. He might have hated the fucker, but he still didn't want him to get hurt.

As if Billy knew Steve was thinking of him, he sat down next to him flashing Steve one of his usual smirks.

"Shouldn't you be dancing with your girl in there, or is that the weirdo's job now?" Billy asked with a laugh.

"Why don't you just leave us all alone Billy!" Steve aggressively back, he was getting sick and tired of Billy and today he had enough of all the bullshit.

He was going to punch him, every part of Steve's body was telling him to go for it, telling him to punch Billy in the face

Steve stood up for the deck chair far too fast and ending up tripping and falling over, only to be caught by Billy who jumped up straight away.

"My hero" Steve said laughing at his failed attempt to punch him. Maybe all that alcohol had hit his system faster than he thought it would.

"Come on princess, I think it's time you should go home" Billy said pulling Steve up to his feet and dragging him inside.

"Nooo, I love this song! One dance" Steve whined like a baby until Billy let him go so Steve could dance in between everyone. Steve didn't stop dancing after the song was finished, he kept going as he loved the next song also, Billy just stood waiting for Steve to be done, trying his hardest not to show on his face how funny Steve's dancing moves were.

"Billlyyyyyy" Steve slurred as he got carried to his door step. All the alcohol had definitely hit Steve's system now, he was going to hate himself in the morning.

"Yes princess" Billy said as he got Steve's keys out of his pocket and opened the door. Practically carrying Steve through the door, which if Steve wasn't so drunk he would've hated but drunk Steve liked the close contact from another individual.

"Why do you call me that Billy?" Steve asked as he slouched onto the couch Billy had just placed him onto.

"Because I want to princess, you got a problem with it?" Billy asked looking around the unfamiliar house, Steve's house wasn't anything special to Steve but he knew it was to others. His parents worked in the city for a big company meaning the Harringtons where one, if not, the wealthiest families in Hawkins.

"No, I actually like it" Steve returned, hiccupping a few times. Steve then pulled his shoes off and started to strip when Billy stopped him and told him to go to bed. Obviously in Steve's state he couldn't get up the stairs alone, so Billy had to carry him up there. Once in Steve's room Billy took Steve's top off and his jeans, he tucked the boy in and left.

The whole night was a big blur for Steve, he didn't know how he got home or how he ended up in his bed. With no recollection of how the night ended Steve decided the best thing to do was forget out it.

Steve made his away downstairs and started making something to eat when he realised he still had school. Why did he agree to go to a party on a Monday night? Steve thought maybe it would be the best to skip and spend a day recovering from then night before. But Steve knew that his huge house could sometimes become boring and lonely, so he decided to go to school.

He parked his car in the parking lot of the school grabbed his book and walked straight in. Yet again all the eyes were on him, yet Steve didn't know why. He thought he looked okay for once today, he spent extra time on his hair, and he even showered twice to make sure he didn't stink of alcohol. Maybe he did something last night he couldn't remember, but he knew someone who would know.

"Hey Nance, can I ask you something?" Steve said as he stood next to Jonathan and Nancy.

"Yeah sure, what's up Steve?" She asked concerned, Jonathan also looking concerned, he had his arms wrapped around Nancy's waist.

"What happened last night?" Steve asked as he looked down to his shoes to check he had put the same shoes on.

"You don't remember?" She asked with a shock on her face. Steve didn't want to remember the night, he hadn't been that drunk in a while and maybe he got a little bit too shitfaced.

"He what?" Steve shouted once Nancy had told him everything that had happened. Steve took off ignoring Nancy and Jonathan who had shouted of him to cool off.

"Where is he?" Steve shouted.

"Where's who Harrington" one of the basketball players answered.

"Who do you think you idiot, Billy" Steve said back

"Someone better tell me where the hell he is" Steve was starting to get pissed off.

"I'm right here princess" Steve heard coming from behind him, it wasn't possible but from Billy's tone he could hear the smirk forming on Billy's lips. Steve turned around and grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled him out of the locker room into somewhere private.

"How fucking dare you, you basically molested me last night and you're acting like a joke" Steve said, the rage in Steve was showing through in the way he was talking to Billy.

"I was only looking after you princess, you couldn't walk so I took you home and then put you to bed" Billy said leaning against the wall.

"I don't need you to look after me" and with that Steve walked off, Billy stood leaning against the wall watching him strut off. "Stop calling me princess Hargrove" Steve shouted as he went to turn the corner.

"You said last night that you liked it when I called you that, princess" Billy replied unable to stop laughing as Steve looked at him with a glare and then walked away leaving Billy to laugh to himself.
