Summary
“Trick you into what?” He was losing his patience. “Where is Max? Is she hurt?”
“Dustin, look at him. His canines aren’t out, his pupils aren’t dilated, he’s not posturing.” He tried to argue with the other boy. “You can’t…” Harrington held Dustin’s bat for a second, stopping him from charging. “You can’t smell her?”
Billy narrowed his eyes, trying to understand it. “I only smell distress.” He said. “I was home and suddenly I had this urge to come here. I know she’s in here, Harrington, is she hurt?”- Language:

Summary
“Do you remember why you crashed your car?” Steve asks. He pins his gaze on the stretch of black tree limbs against the suede blue of the night sky.
“I hit a deer,” Billy says shortly.
“The thing is,” Steve says, he brings his gaze to Billy, “I don’t think you did.”
Billy scoffs. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Steve shrugs. “Whatever you hit, it wasn’t a deer.”
“Oh really?” Billy asks snidely. “Then what was it?”
“The Monster Squad calls it the Mindflayer.”

Summary
“Yellow sandals covered in sand.” It was all that Billy could see. “She was pretty.” Her laughter twinkled like windchimes, like the sound the sun would make if it made a sound when it was reflected by the water. “She was really pretty. And you…” He was crying. Why was he crying. “You were happy.”
Billy stood up, facing the monster. He failed in facing a monster before, and the one person who had given him warmth and love had died because of it. He wasn’t going to let that happen again.
So when it advanced against Eleven, Billy stopped it. Bare hands. He felt himself screaming but wasn’t sure of what. In the end, he could only stop it for a few moments before the pain came.
She was the last thing he saw before everything went black.
___
Billy woke up.
“You’re late.” Maxine threw his bag on his face, looking grumpy. “Neil’s starting to freak out.”
Alternatively: the do-over fic nobody asked me to write, but I wrote anyway. Oops?

Summary
Billy tilts his head to the side like a confused puppy and furrows his eyebrows. His palm is white-hot through the thin material of Steve’s black shirt as Billy spreads his hand over the omega’s left pectoral, directly atop his racing heart. “Steve.”
The alpha points to himself and then raises those same eyebrows expectantly. Steve huffs out a quiet laugh and relaxes a bit. “I get it, I get it. You’re Billy and I’m Steve.”
This answer gets him a viciously happy growl and a smile bright enough to shame the sun. Steve can’t help but giggle again, this time incredulously.
“What kind of Miles O’Keeffe bullshit are you trying to pull here, jungle boy? Have you never heard of, like, normal pickup lines? You know, what’s an omega like you doing sobbing all alone on Halloween? How’s it going baby, nice ass?”
