Summary
They haven’t spoken since the night at the Byers.
Since Billy beat Harrington’s pretty face in and the kids had left him on the floor of some freaky house, dosed up to hell.
Billy sees him at school and watches the bruises fade from his pale skin, tries to ignore Steve the best he can. It's what he's supposed to do, what he told Max he'd do. So he watches the colors of Steve’s face come back to normal. Watches the light in his eyes sort of fade.
Billy ignores Steve Harrington until he can’t anymore.
Because Steve doesn’t look good, and Billy was never able to leave a scab alone.
or,
Billy sees Steve Harrington sitting alone at lunch and just can't help himself from getting involved. He just needs to keep reminding himself that he’s not interested in Harrington - he’s not. (He is.)
