His Suzie {StevexBilly} (Harringrove) (Stranger Things)

His Suzie

"Don't be afraid. It'll be over soon." Billy whispers to Eleven's ear after carefully leaving her on the floor ready for the Mind Flayer to end her. "Just try and stay very still."

Eleven regains consciousness as billy steps away from her and the mind Flayer is getting visible. When she no longer sees things blurry she starts gasping. She realizes how big the mind Flayer is. She tries to crawl away. As the mind Flayer's primary barbed tendril sticks out and is just about to reach Eleven, a firework hits the back of the mind Flayer.

"Flay this, you ugly piece of shit!" Lucas has a firework on hand, ready to attack the mind Flayer again and save El, or try to, at least.

Fireworks begin to come from everywhere.

"Hey, asshole! Over here!" Steve and Robin throw some too.

Meanwhile, Billy gets on top of El stopping her from running away. As El looks into Billy's eyes, the memories of his childhood start replaying on her head. Considering the situation she was in, she was oddly calm. Sad, but calm.

"Seven... Feet." She says panting. "You told her the wave was seven feet." Billy does not talk. Does not move. He's remembering it too. "You ran to her in the beach. There was seagulls." El could see Billy's pain in his eyes. "She wore a hat... With a blue ribbon. A long dress... with a blue and red flower. And yellow sandals covered in sand. She was pretty." Billy's eyes close as he remembers her smiling. "She was really pretty." El sobs and he nods, a tear finally falling. "And you... You were happy." El places her hand on Billy's cheek and he closes his eyes once again, feeling peace and calmness as the lights of the fireworks are reflected on their faces.

"BILLY!!!" Max's broken heart screams as he falls on his back.

She runs to him to hold him.

"Max..." He agonizes. "I'm sorry." Those were his last words.

"BILLY!!!" This time it wasn't Max screaming. It was a male's voice. It was Steve's.

Everyone looked confused. Why would Steve react that way? It was sad, yes. But everyone hated Billy, or that's what everyone thought...

"No no no no no no no, Billy, Billy! I'm so sorry Billy, please stay with me. Billy... Billy!" He runs to his side to hold him. Max just backs up, confused. "Billy! Billy! Come on, man, stay here with me! Billy!" Steve kisses Billy, letting a tear go down his face when Billy doesn't kiss him back. He's dying.

"What... is happening?" Nancy asks.

"He was his Suzie." Robin stops at her side.

"What?" Dustin and Nancy ask at the same time.

"In the bathroom stall he... he told me he had his Suzie. I never imagined it was..."

"Billy, please! Don't die on me.... Don't leave. I'm sorry. I love you. I never meant for any of this to happen. This is all my fault. This is all my fault!" Steve hits his head on Billy's chest. "Billy...." He rests his head on Billy, reaching for his hand.

Mike lets go of Eleven as she's trying to crawl to Steve. She places her hand on Steve's which was holding Billy's. Steve looks up as he feels the touch, when she notices it's her, he gets angry.

"Do something!" He barks. "This is your fault! He saved you!"

"I-" Eleven felt like each scream was a hook on her stomach, leaving her without air each time.

"Where are your fucking powers?! Huh?! Do something!" Steve was about to hit Eleven.

"Steve!" Eleven and Steve look at Dustin who was standing behind Steve. Dustin gives Steve a face that says: What are you doing man?
