You saved me / harringrove

0.5

Seven o'clock came around and Steve was ready to leave the house and pick Dustin up for his date.  As soon as Steve had got home he started to get ready. As lonely and sad as it sounded Steve had nothing else to do when he got home, with no friends or parents to talk to. Steve had dressed like he was going on a himself date. White polo shirt and the nicest trousers he owned. He picked Dustin up and drove straight to the diner. Dustin was also wearing the nicest clothes he could find and also a little too much aftershave, Steve had to open the window on the drive there to try and get some fresh air to stop himself from choking.

Dustin was shaking as they approached the diner. The whole way here he had been calm and couldn't wait for his little date with Max but seeing Billy Hargrove standing next to Max outside of the diner and looking protective of her for once scared Dustin so much that Steve thought he was going to run home.

Steve got out the car first, hoping Dustin would follow in suit behind him. Which he didn't. Dustin just sat in the car shaking for a few minutes before Billy walked over.

"What is taking him so long?" Billy asked as he stood in front of Steve's car. Billy was getting impatient, and Steve could see. Steve ran over and got back into the car to try and talk some sense into Dustin and get him out of the car.

"Dustin, what are you doing?" Steve asked as he got back into his car.

"I don't think I can do it. I don't know what I talk about. What if I upset her and then Billy kills me or something bad happens and I can't lose Lucas over a girl, what the hell was I thinking Steve?" Dustin was shaking still and Steve didn't know what to say. Steve had only had a few dates with Nancy and he shouldn't be the one to give relationship advice after his 'bullshit' relationship. Steve looked up to see Billy still stood waiting and he knew then who would give the best advice. Steve got out the car yet again and walked over towards Billy.

"Go talk to him" Steve said as he nodded towards the car. Billy laughed as if Steve had said something stupid.

"I am not going to talk to Henderson on how he should act on his date with my sister, he should stop being a pussy and get on with it"

"Please Billy"

"You begging me now princess?"

"Billy just go talk to him, you know how to act around girls and on dates, you have probably been on more than me. And my last relationship wasn't the best, so I don't want to give shit advice and mess his first date-"

"Shut up princess, I'll go talk to Henderson"

Steve leaned against the hood of his car as he waited for Billy and Dustin's conversation to be over. He waved and smiled at Max who was still waiting next to Billy's car. She was wearing a little blue dress with a few daisies on and her hair plaited off her face. Suddenly Steve felt the car doors open and close and seen Dustin walk over to Max and give the rose he had picked up from his garden. Billy leaned on the car next to Steve and watched the two kids walk into the diner.

"Happy princess?" Billy asked as he lit his cigarette in his mouth.

"Very"

Dustin and Max got sat at a table near the window, they both looked out at the same time and seen Steve and Billy sitting watching them. Steve smiled and waved back at them whereas Billy flipped the both of them off. Steve stopped leaning on the car and walked to get back in. He opened the door and didn't look back until put his hand on the door that Steve was holding.

"I promised you a ride one day. So shut the door and get in my car" Billy said with a smirk as he walked over towards his own car.

Steve locked his car door and followed Billy over to his car. It was just how Steve imagined when he got inside. It smelt like Billy: cigarettes and alcohol. Billy set off driving from the diner and made his way to the quarry. The quarry was somewhere that Steve used to go when he had been in an argument with Nancy, and he needed some fresh air and needed to feel alone. He came here after the fights with the upside down and needed to feel something. Steve didn't know how Billy knew about this area; nobody knew about this area.

Billy didn't go slow, but Steve didn't except him too, Billy went as fast as he possibly could. Luckily no other cars where on the back roads towards the quarry or Steve thought Billy would crash and kill both of them. But something in Steve didn't mind the speed the car was going, or even the way Billy looked when he was driving the car.

Billy made Steve question himself every time he was around him, of course it was fine to appreciate when another male looks nice or even hot in Billy's case, but Steve wasn't 'gay'. He always liked girls, I mean he loved boobs, and a good butt. Speaking of butts, Steve had glanced at Billy's far too often, but he definitely wasn't gay.

Billy pulled over but didn't get out of the car. He leaned back his seat back a little and sort of 'relaxed' as he took out another cigarette and lit it up. Steve didn't really know what to do or even say so he sat in silence for a little as copied Billy and pushed his seat down a little.

"I know you're their princess, was just trying to think of something charming to tell you" Billy said as he smirked at Steve. Steve nervously chuckled and then opened the car door to get some fresh air. He blamed his nervousness and flushed cheeks he often got around Billy on the fact he hadn't been given attention like the way Billy does in a while.

"You been here before?" Billy asked as he sat down on the bonnet of the car and patted next to him for Steve to copy him.

"Yeah, used to come here after fights with Nancy, haven't been here in a while"

Billy nodded and looked out in front of him.

"What about you, do you come here often?" Steve asked as he looked towards Billy making eye contact with the other boy for the first time since the diner.

"Shit happens at home and this is the only place where I can't do anything wrong. I can be myself and not have to pretend to be someone I am not in front of Neil"

Steve could understand what Billy was saying. His home life wasn't perfect. He can't remember the last time his family was all in the same room, Steve doesn't even think his parents remember his birthday as they are too busy travelling and working to focus on Steve. And even when they where in the same room it wasn't usually peaceful his father often had something to say about the way Steve is.

"Can I tell you something?" Billy asked.

"Sure"

"I am sorry"

"What?"

"I said I am sorry, for everything I've done wrong, the fights the names everything"

"You have already said sorry Billy and I forgive you for everything you have done. You can stop apologising now and we can just leave everything in the past" Steve said as he tried to give Billy a reassuring smile. Billy actually smiled back, it was that same smile from a couple days ago, the real smile that Steve liked.

"Hey Steve"

"What now Billy?"

"Your lips look so lonely. Would they like to meet mine?"

"Piss off Hargrove I thought you were going to say something charming" Steve said while he giggled. He had to stop himself, Steve Harrington doesn't giggle, how did Billy Hargrove make Steve Harrington giggle.

"That was, wasn't it?" Billy asked while trying to control his own laughter.

"Try again next time and maybe your own lips won't be lonely" Steve said with a smirk that was so similar to Billy's as he jumped of the hood of the car and got back in Billy's car ready to go back to the diner to pick up the kids.

The ride back to the diner was anything but quiet, Billy played his music so loud that Steve thought the car's speakers would break any second of the journey back. But Steve and Billy didn't make a sound, Steve was trying to understand if the other boy was joking with the kiss joke, obviously Steve was and surely Billy also was.

Billy Hargrove couldn't be gay.
