    Summary

    The first thing Will notices is the emptiness.

    “Can you stand?” is asked above him.

    Will looks up, blood and sweat clinging to his skin. The now-memories have faded into a distant, dreamy fog. It should feel like a relief. He should feel better, but instead, he feels gutted – like his organs had been sucked out of him by a vacuum cleaner. Like razors had raced past his molars, cutting up his throat and tonsils and tongue.

    He manages a quiet, “What?”

    “To get to the car,” Jonathan clarifies. “To get you home.”

    Luckily, she has more than enough people willing to give her the support she needs.

    Summary

    They walk in silence. Max's hair is wet and cold against the back of her neck, but it has the same grounding effect on her as Lucas’ shirt does. It reminds her that she can still feel things; she is still real.

    They reach the park before long and like Lucas promised, it’s empty. Max makes a beeline for the swings; she hears Lucas chuckle at her quiet eagerness, and then he takes the swing next to her. She slowly pushes herself back and forth and tips her head up to the brilliant blue sky. She inhales, sharp, clean oxygen flooding her lungs. She doesn’t close her eyes. She can’t.

    Summary

    God, he wanted it all. But what did Steve want? At this point, Billy was more than ready to follow him to fucking Arkansas and back. He doesn’t want to leave him behind, doesn’t want him to go anywhere without Billy, but Steve probably wants things too. Billy just doesn’t know what they are.
    Steve had nearly fucking died. Billy still couldn’t wrap his head around that. What if he had? What is Billy supposed to do when he is gone – when he decides he’s had enough, when he meets some girl, or that Nancy chick decides to come running back? Billy knows he’s still hung up on her, and he sees it every day that he could never be enough for him, just like how Harrington could never fill that void in him. How could he?

    Or, Harrington’s gaggle of little shits are more perceptive than Billy would’ve ever guessed, ‘cause he’d thought he and Steve had at least been subtle about it.

    Summary

    God, he hadn’t meant to. He hadn’t meant to hit him. Christ. Steve’s looking at him like he’d grown a second head, like he’d confessed his love for Satan, like- like Billy had yelled in his face and hit him, hurt him. Because he had.
    He’s looking at him like how Billy looks at his father.

    When had he become this person? When had he become Hargrove again? To Steve of all people. Steve, who Billy was supposed to love like he’d said he did; who Billy had stayed in bed beside last night, realising belatedly how much he needed him to stay until he could live without him again. Steve, who had become so much more than Harrington whilst Billy had simply stayed the same.

    Summary

    It was only ever meant to be a casual thing.
    He’d fucked them both over, really, hadn’t he? He couldn’t have just made one time enough, like it should have been.

    ~

    Billy refuses to acknowledge it, let alone say it. But he does. He loves Steve. Loves him more than Metallica, and pancakes, his goddamn Camaro even. He doesn’t care about any of it. Not if Steve’s not there – to complain about how loud it is, to turn it down, for Christ’s sake, Billy; for Billy to steal them off his plate ‘cause his just happen to taste better; to kiss him in the backseat like he’s drowning and Steve is air. Billy can’t imagine a bed, his car, goddamn Hawkins without Steve.

    Summary

    longing: a yearning desire.

    Pain—when struck like this; at the heart of a family—often causes cracks. Cracks that don’t fill get bigger. They turn into chasms. Gaping wounds. Scars.

    Their pain parallels the other’s. Like fissures in a broken window, the pain extends outward, until someone finds a big enough band aid.

    Or: Mike and Nancy are hurting.
