[ Meanwhile, Steve is burbling to himself as he's laid down. ]
Ohhh, hello bed. Oof.
[ Thankfully he's off his feet because he gets the sensation he's falling when vertical. Horizontal is better, yes. Steve arches his back against the lingering threads of pain travelling through his shoulders and chest where numbing lips never touched, the ache of the bites like a throbbing heartbeat over his own.
He keeps his eyes closed, licking his dry lips. ]
You guys always have the biggest slushies at the mall, huh? Biiiig shakes. I could go for a shake too. [ Gasp, wait! ] Am I the shake?

[that catches him unaware: just how cute Steve Harrington is, completely out of it. his face does something that looks like a fond smile, eyes rolling as he kisses Eddie's cheek. ]
Yeah, you're the prettiest shake in Hawkins. [god help him, he's screwed. off he goes to raid a vending machine - maybe grab the PB&J Susan brought him earlier. maybe a cold coke, if he can find a nice nurse to flirt with.]

[ okay...
okay. maybe less bad than he thought. he catches that look. tracks it from billy to steve, sucking on his teeth as he considers that he might not be the only man head over heels for the former king.
he doesn't dare lay down next to him, but he does smooth that ridiculous hair. ]
You are the sweetest shake I've ever tasted, big boy. You even got that big old sourpuss smiling.

[he comes back armed with the PB&J, some chocolate and that nice, cold coke. he's grinning out the door at a sweet nurse, calling a charming thanks, sweetheart before he's in, closing the door with his heel. inside, the grin softens as he rounds back on them, dumping the snacks on the chair.
he sighs, running a hand through the curls, dragging the spare chair back over to slump into it. ]
So, [he says, voice quiet. ] Harrington.

So, [he says, voice quiet. ] Harrington.
... yeah. [ he looks down at the unconscious man, perhaps a touch guiltily. Then back to Billy, eyebrows slightly raised. It's not an accusation. Just an acknowledgement. ] Harrington.
[ billy is more his type than Steve. He likes them mean and bratty, likes them dangerous. ]
I didn't know he was interested in men until today. Doesn't change a thing, unless you want it to.

Yeah. Harrington.
[he could laugh. it's been a year, though. been a year on his own, eating monsters and trying to piece the parts of Billy Hargrove back together the right away. then there'd been Eddie, bright like sunlight, and now there's Steve Harrington again, who he's always been a little jealous of. always wanted, just a little.
it's going to get complicated, he knows. maybe fast. ] The blood's easy. This is - this is weirder. Right? The whole time I was pulling his pigtails and he only had eyes for Wheeler. I walk in and he's - he's into you, E. Like you were the only thing in the world.

He's still got eyes for Wheeler. [ six little nuggets. He remembers that speech, remembers making gagging motions and Dustin alternating between laughing and elbowing him to shut up. ]
He was a prick to me all through highschool. Or if he wasn't, one of his buddies was and he'd laugh about it. But Henderson convinced him I was innocent and we kinda bonded while sorting out the whole Vecna thing.

For like a year. And that was only because you found me sooo hot.
[ he flutters his eyelashes, clearly teasing.
But he looks back to Steve, quiet for a moment. ]
I like him. And I like you.. and you like him. [ he glances to billy. ] He's scared shitless of you right now, but he doesn't know you yet, baby. I just met the real you.
I'm not doing anything without you... We're in this together. Maybe forever, if vampire lore is true.

You did have that shit eating grin I wanted to kiss off you, so yeah.
[this is - new. maybe too new. too forward, too modern, too opposite of everything Billy's ever been raised to be. but he's new, too, he's more. Eddie says forever and Billy feels his chest go hot and tight, feels his eyes get that stingy, glassy way they do sometimes when things are too big for him.
he swallows. ] Forever's a long time, E. [but it's comforting. it feels right. he looks at Steve, snoring softly, hair mussed and slightly drunk on the blood loss and he longs terribly for something that could be his. theirs. he reaches out, strokes a knuckle across Steve's cheek.] You think I can seduce Steve Harrington to the dark side?

Yeah? You gonna wear a pair of stockings, too?
[is he leaning a little on Steve, just barely grazing his hip as he presses his lips against Eddie's soft and a little devious, still stroking that soft, Harrington hair. ]
How long till they let you out of here? I'm getting blue balls.

Sluttiest pair I can find, promise.
[ sorry Steve. He's giving little rapid fire kisses. ]
Friday. Wednesday they're doing the graft, gonna make sure it takes, and then they're clearing me so long as Harrington's cool with someone invading his house ever day to make sure it's healing.

That's first class service right there.
[teeth catching that bottom lip, soft little pecks following. Friday. ]
He's got more to worry about than a nurse coming round, baby - [a beat. he should pull away, sit back and maybe wake Steve up for some sugar. just one more peck - ]
Should wake sleeping beauty up. Before he spends the next eight hours here.
