Bruised Knuckles (a Billy Hargrove backstory, Billy x Eddie)

Disclaimer, this story may contain mature and triggering and mature themes like abuse (substance, physical, mental), swearing, sexual assault, homophobia, gore, mental disorders (I.E.D., bipolar, eating disorder, depression), sex, drugs (alcohol, cocaine, weed). Please be cautious of the triggers and please read if you are 18+! I do not own any of the rights to the characters mentioned in this story! All rights go to Netflix and the Duffer Brothers.

With that being said, this story is about Billy's backstory and what his life was like in California. I will mention his past relationships with his mom, and what his relationship was like with his father Neil at the time. Just a warning, this will be a nonlinear storyline, so I will switch between time frames. One part I might write something from Billy's past, then the next I will write something from Billy's current time frame. (The current time frame will be around the start of season 2, where Billy had just moved to Hawkins since I think that is the perfect place to start!) I also added a bit of spice to the storyline, which is Eddie Munson. There will be a slight romance between the two males and hopefully you'll find their connection just as interesting :) Now, I will also add parts of season 3 where Billy gets flayed as the story progresses. There will be some canon and non canon aspects to this story so please be cautious of that too, because I still want to make this story super unique and fun.

DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT support nor condone Billy's racist actions towards Lucas or rude remarks from the series! Do NOT mistake my writing for being a "Billy Supporter"! That is not what I am here to do. I am here to write Billy's backstory because we didn't get to see too much of his past and I feel he had the potential to be a really good character if he had the right character development. If you have a problem with my story, just don't read it. :)
