Summary
If someone had come up to Billy when he first swung his legs out of the Camaro, in front of the high school on his first day in Hawkins and pointed at Steve, Billy would have pissed himself laughing.

Summary
The whole tableau was too weird: to have Billy Hargrove, the Trash King of Hawkins, crying on the checkered tile of his kitchen floor.
Steve hesitated, unsure if he should maybe try to offer some kind of comfort. But before he could follow through, Billy tipped suddenly forward, fingers curling into the fabric of Steve’s pant leg, the smudged stains on his cheeks landing to press somewhere around Steve’s knees.
“Look, man,” Steve tried, “you don’t look so good. Do you maybe need an ambulance or something?” Steve reached behind him for the phone but stopped when Billy finally spoke, voice a raw mix of wet gravel that sounded distressingly like the discordant high notes of fear. It’s unsettling, to hear Hargrove without mirth or menace; to hear him scared.
“Please,” Billy said, still too raw, like a wet wound, catching in his throat. “Please, Harrington-Steve.
I need you to kill me.”(Or: an “out damn spot” fic where post-flayed Billy has blood on his hands and Steve helps him get clean).

Summary
The idea was a terrifying one—that he had lost time, lost his own body, and that The Lab probably had something, if not everything, to do with it. At least Steve had faced strange enough shit to have hope that this was fixable. Just another clandestine operation gone wrong in the sunny paranatural hellscape that was Hawkins, Indiana.
He just needed to "be" Billy Hargrove until he could get to school and find him — hopefully in Steve’s body, which wasn't exactly comforting that somehow that psychotic asshole being in his body had suddenly become the best case scenario. But still, that was the only plan Steve seemed to have right now, so he’ll do it. He’d be Billy Hargrove.
How hard could that be?
