Billy Hargrove isn't sure when or why his interest in Steve Harrington began, but he can say it's fucking frustrating. Despite having always been told that there's a fine line between love and hate, Billy has one problem- Steve doesn't seem to hate him. In fact, it's like Steve doesn't even care he exists anymore. After they graduated, Billy planned on never seeing Steve or his other classmates again and getting the hell out of Indiana. Instead, he's got a summer job at the pool and a boss that just so happens to love ice cream and hanging out as a 'team'. Now Billy has to see Steve every Friday and can't seem to communicate properly. On top of that, Steve doesn't react to him at all and acts more interested in the gum he scrapes off the tables than he does in Billy. Billy really wants to make something work with Steve, but he just can't get it right. He's only got until the end of the summer before his time might run out for good.
