    Summary

    It's a suggestion from his therapist to help him get used to acknowledging the good things in his life. She wants Billy to write down the things in his day that make him feel safe, happy or loved. She called it ‘Cognitive restructuring’, Billy just thinks it’s a fancy way of saying Fake it till you make it but he’d be lying if he said his sessions with Dr Piper hadn't been helping so he decides to trust her on this.

    Summary

    Billy’s heart stops right in his chest. Like a fat guy trying to squish down a chimney.

    His tongue feels huge and red and not working. It’s not working. He can’t get a word out.

    Steve and, fuck, Eddie are looking at him bugged eyed and flubbering. Carol of the bells is blasting over the shitty mall speakers getting louder and louder and more grainy and shitty as it grows. He can’t even breath, because what does he say?

    Steve Harrington you’re all I think about when I lay in bed at night. Not even fucking you, which would be bad enough. But more like going ice skating at a cute frozen pond. Getting hot chocolate afterwards with lots of whipped topping to have the cups to warm their hands. Then cuddling up together on the couch under a knitted blanket. With a fire crackling and their steady breathing the only sound. The only music.

    And… holy hell, he’s even imagined them wearing matching red and green ugly sweaters.

    Billy’s so angry and embarrassed. And Steve’s still looking right at him.

    Summary

    “So you’re the Grinch,” Max says matter-of-factly as she shoves a handful of fries into her mouth.

    “I’m the what? I am not the Grinch.” Billy scoffs, food half-chewed in his cheek. He takes a sip of his root beer float.

    “You’re literally the Grinch, dude. And Steve is Cindy Lou Who. And you’re stealing Christmas, you Scrooge.”

    Summary

    Post The Battle of Starcourt, Billy moves in with Steve and tries to put his life back together.

    ***
    It started with cookies. If Billy could make cookies, just simple sweet treats, if he could do that with out ruining anything, then maybe it would count as a first step towards being okay.

    Getting comfortable in the kitchen when he wasn’t comfortable anywhere else could be a first step towards normal.

    Sharing cookies with with Steve so Steve would light up smiling sunshiney like a goddamn gorgeous doofus could be a first step towards a new life that didn’t have Neil and didn’t have secrets and hurt and pain all the damn time.

    A first step towards fixing up his heart and maybe a little bump of courage so the next time Steve hugged him, Billy would be brave enough to hug back.

    Chocolate chip cookies.

    Billy could do this.
