Summary
The bouncer manhandles Billy out the bar doors and into the slap of cold nighttime. It was a good fight. Always good when he can fight back.
He’s still high on it when he walks into the convenience store for a pack of smokes, licking the slow ooze of blood off his split lower lip. That’s probably why he doesn’t notice Harrington one aisle over; why he near runs into him as he rounds a corner.
And honestly, he didn’t expect to be the one to jump when they met up again.
For a moment, Harrington’s eye that’s not a swollen mess is big and round and white around the brown iris and his pink lips part like he’s about to say something, start something. But he doesn’t. So Billy has to.
That's how it works.
Or: Forget summer, Season 3 starts when the fight at Byers house ends, fresh bruises and all, no break, and with new monsters, like 110% more Billy falling for Steve and 1645% less throwing away his character arc.

Summary
It feels weird and precarious, it feels like something he could lose any time soon, it feels like the kind of things Billy is used to running away from. He’s too tired for that, too. So he stays.
Or: Billy survives being possessed by a supernatural monster only to be possessed by another supernatural monster.

Summary
"Three things you can hear, please," the woman says, and Billy is too damn confused to feel any more panic rising in his chest. He thinks it might be the first time in years someone asks something nicely of him.
Alternatively, Billy finds his support system in Max, Heather, Joyce, Eleven, and Chrissy. And maybe he finds something else along the way.

Summary
Steve doesn't seem to mind. He laughs - and, fuck it, he's hot when he laughs - and shrugs the comments away, slaps Billy's shoulder like they’ve been buddies for years, and never once acts like he's threatened or like he's annoyed.
Billy knows he should find it bothering, but he just... likes it.
(There are plenty of things he shouldn’t like. This never stopped him from wanting them anyway.)Alternatively: Billy rolls into Hawkins a year early, just in time to befriend King Steve at his peak.
