Summary
Mr. Harrington takes a rose and instead of paying the price the beast of the castle demands himself, he sends his son in his stead. Billy is not sure what to do with an omega who not only does not cower away from him like everyone else but also seems to think he is a slob and keeps trying his patience.

“Your father sent you in his place?” Billy asks, unable to contain the question as he sneers hunkering down further in the shadows when the man’s big brown eyes turn in his direction. If the shadows were not so deep he would be caught in that gaze.
“Wait, what?” The man asks with a frown scent going sharp with anger. “What do you mean in his place?”

Summary
Billy finds something on the beach and decides to take it home... but home may be a bit further away than he thinks.
“What are you? You’re not human, I know that. You’re too goddamn beautiful to be human.”
Billy pulls away and glares down, studying the wide-eyed creature, frantically running through the half-remembered fragments of his mother’s stories in his head. Finally, it clicks.

Summary
Billy Hargrove was an asshole. But it wasn’t his attitude that stopped Steve dead in his tracks during basketball practice two days after Billy’s arrival to Hawkins. They were playing shirts and skins, and without a care in the world, Billy ripped off his shirt.
Along with revealing miles of tanned skin and firm muscles, Steve saw a faded red mark right above Billy’s navel that seemed to resemble the sun. While it wouldn’t seem unusual to anyone else, Steve couldn’t take his eyes away from the little red splotch.
-Steve never knew what the red sun-shaped mark right above his bellybutton was for. Not until he met Billy Hargrove.

Summary
“This is a baby,” Dustin said, hoisting the car seat in the air.
Steve gaped. “Who the fuck trusted you with a baby?”
“They didn’t, Steven. Who the fuck would trust me with a baby? It was just here!”
“Jesus Christ,” Steve said, snatching the seat from Dustin’s grubby fingers. “Don’t fucking shake it, you’ll hurt it.”
“It’s obviously a wishbaby,” Dustin said. Which was, in fact, not obvious.
Or, Steve finds a baby on his porch and Billy Hargrove is real fucking weird about it.

Summary
Billy starts forward, wanting up in Harrington’s space, wanting his doe-eyes on him, wanting him to know how fucking feral Billy can really be, given the chance.
But Harrington levels him with a stare so cold Billy just--just stops. It’s Harrington who gets in Billy’s space and it’s Harrington who’s getting Billy looking at him and it’s--it’s not what Billy wanted.
“Touch me again, Hargrove,” Harrington murmurs to him, slow and deliberate and all dark fire, “And I’ll break your goddamn fingers.”
It’s the first time Harrington’s looked at him in a week and Billy wants to fucking hide.

Summary
Two years ago, before everything, so many things, it had been him and Nancy and Tommy and Carol and Barb and beer and cigarettes and a boombox. It had been a starry night and a cloudless sky and a cut hand and then the first time he’d ever made love. Two years ago he’d have called himself sappy. He would have called himself cool. He would have called himself not a coward.
Today, his usually empty house is filled to bursting with friends and food and a scary movie marathon and it feels like nothing’s changed since Starcourt exploded and burned down from a faulty gas line.
Today, Steve calls himself lonely.

Summary
The doorknob turned with a slight creek, setting everyone’s nerves on fire. Goosebumps riddled their arms, their hair stood at the base of their necks. With a halted breath, Hopper used the tip of his pistol to push the door open, bracing himself for what was inside.
Silence.
Dustin’s eyes widened.
Nancy’s daw dropped.
Robin blinked a few times too many.
Max let a small smirk slip, before schooling her expression.

Summary
Steve’s words hammered themselves into Billy’s mind, crushing the stupid, fragile hope of them being something more he’d been keeping up, snuffing it out. He stared at the ugly popcorn ceiling of Steve’s room, stunned, wondering if he’d ever see it again.
Finally, he sat up and looked at Steve, incredulous and hurt. “You don’t want to fuck me anymore?” he asked slowly, emphasizing each word.

Summary
Post Barb's funeral, a brutal panic attack drops Steve right into a painful, stress induced partial shift. He calls the only person he thinks would be willing to help-- Lion Shifter!Billy Hargrove.
****
“Harrington.” Billy found Steve huddled in a corner, arms wrapped around his knees and visibly shivering…and partial shifted into the prettiest feline Billy had ever seen.“Oh holy hell.” Billy’s steps slowed and his eyes went wide when he caught a glimpse of porcelain fangs gleaming white behind red lips, the ripple of additional muscle bulging beneath Steve’s tight polo and twin tips of soft, furry ears peaking through the tangled mess of hair. "Look at you."
"B-Billy?" Steve blinked glazed, green and gold eyes up at him sluggishly. "Help me."
"Don't you worry, Pretty kitty." Billy knelt in front of him and reached to cup Steve's chin. "I'm gonna take care of you."
