Summary
“I said, c’mere, Harrington,” Billy repeats, eyeing Steve like it’s a challenge.
Steve doesn’t lose challenges.
-
Steve has been wandering through the woods at night for months, earning him the not-so-coveted title of Hawkins' resident nutcase. By the time Billy Hargrove rolls into town with his stupid car and his come try me attitude, Steve is sorely lacking sleep and the ability to make friends above the age of thirteen.
Billy doesn’t seem to care.

Summary
Steve, a society omega, puts out an add in the paper looking for an alpha among the lonely hearts expanding the west. He's answered by Billy, a lonely cowboy living in a growing settlement in California rich in just about everything but available omegas. Even though it is clear that Billy hasn't had the schooling that Steve has, Steve finds himself charmed and intrigued by the intelligent and silly alpha who hangs on his every word, who actually seems to want to listen to him. He seems like the perfect choice, but there's one problem. It's not Billy who has been writing Steve but his little sister Max, who is determined to find a good match for him. The real Billy is the single most rude and uncouth creature to ever walk the planet and there's nothing, absolutely nothing, on God's green earth that could ever convince Steve to marry him. The second problem? It will be weeks, maybe MONTHS, before rescue arrives and he's stuck with Billy until then.

Summary
“My 13-year-old sister goes missing all day, and then I find her with you in a stranger’s house, and you lie to me about it.” Billy spat the words out, all anger and aggression, his crystal blue eyes flashing bright red for the briefest of seconds.
Shit.
Steve could feel his heart rate immediately pick up, his mind screaming danger, danger, danger.
*****
Or when this scene in Season Two goes a bit differently between Steve and Billy, resulting in lots of confused feelings, Steve being the idiot we love and adore, and Billy just wanting Steve to notice him.Edited: Nov 19, 2023

Summary
Halloween night 1984, Omega!Steve stumbles soul sick and heart broken out of a party, the echo of ‘bullshit’ ringing through his mind, grief tripping up his steps and his scent fracturing in a hopeless cry for help.
No one except Alpha!Billy Hargrove is there to witness the former King of Hawkins High fall to his knees, crumpling from the pain of Nancy’s rejection.
No one but Billy is there to pick Steve up from the pavement, to hold the Omega right up over his heart till angry tears have turned to desperate kisses, and to hear Steve whisper ‘don’t leave me’ as the November sun rises over Hawkins, Indiana.
****“You called me Alpha.” Billys blue eyes turned red with rage when he found Steve back at Nancy’s side a few days later. “I take something like that real fuckin’ personal.”
“Billy--”
“Wheeler.” He lit a cigarette and stared the other Alpha down. “Get your hands off my mate. Now.”
“Let it go, Billy.” Steve said softly pleading, but Billy shook his head.
“No, I don’t think I will.”
