Summary
- People liked Steve. They talked to him, smiled at him, treated him like he mattered. Everywhere Billy went, it was a reminder of how different their lives were.
- It hit him then, he’d never really seen Billy with friends. Not real ones, anyway. Billy was always alone, stalking through the halls like he didn’t care. People talked about him, sure, and he had a reputation, but there was no one who really liked him.

There’s an abandoned cottage in the woods, and a bruised to hell Billy Hargrove finds it in the middle of a snowy night in early March. This turns into a bigger deal than it probably ought to.

Summary
“Get out of the car,” Hopper says, finally, and Billy blows air out hard, breaking open the thin scabbing on his lip again.
He fumbles with the door, climbs out and stands there, his feet hot and sweating inside his sneakers. It’s awful, Hopper is looking at him with something like pity, enough silent sadness to infuriate him, and Billy can’t figure out how to get past this moment - and then. He doesn’t need to, because everything changes.

Summary
King Steve was just another rung in the social ladder. Billy had climbed it before, swiftly and easily. He knew who to talk to and what to do to make it so that he was on top. Only, Hawkins isn't shaping up to be anything like the previous places he'd lived. Steve Harrington was hiding something and it sounded like the government was involved. Not to mention the weird group of people he'd somehow fallen into cahoots with. He hadn't planned for any of this, least of all wide bambi eyes that seemed to see stright through his walls.
OR: I gave Billy real friends because I can and he's not sure what he's supposed to do with that or the fact that the cute boy he's supposed to be socially usurping is covering up multiple deaths.

Summary
Steve left the bathroom with blood and bullshit pounding in his ears. Bullshit. He knew he should go back. Help Nancy get home, help her change out of her drink-covered shirt, tuck her into bed, and tell her they would talk in the morning. He knew he should go back. But Steve, to his core, was an angry, selfish little boy. And that selfish little boy wanted to get fucking hammered.
Jonathan would get Nancy home, anyway.
