(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve walked behind (y/n) as they walked towards the house from the forest, wondering if he should speak up about the confession he made to her. "Hey (y/n)..." she hums out, signalling that she was listening to her. "About yesterday, you know, before Dustin interrupted me..." (y/n) continued walking, gnawing on her bottom lip knowing what Steve wanted to talk about. "I-I never got an answer from you..." (y/n) sighs as she opens the door and walks into the house with Steve following her inside.

"I don't know what you want me to say Steve..." he frowns at her answer, (y/n) leaning against the counter and him standing before her. She flushes as she looks up at him, a soft look in his eyes as he held her cheek.

"I really like you (y/n). And I mean really like you. You're sweet and funny and a total badass with the rifle. You even saved my butt so many times tonight."

"Steve I-I like you," Steve smiles in victory but it fades when he hears a but. "but as a friend..." at that moment, the two didn't realise Billy had barged into the house searching for his sister and (y/n). Billy fumed as he saw Steve holding his girl, Steve confessing his love for his girl.

"Get your fucking hands off her Harrington!" Billy growls out and Steve and (y/n) gasp to see him by the doorway.

"Billy!" (y/n) was glad to see that he was ok but her eyes widen when she gets shoved back by Steve as Billy launches at him, the guys tumbling to the floor. "Guys! Stop it!" (y/n) yells out, them fighting as Steve manages to land a hard right hook to Billy's face and he stumbles back. The kids cheer for Steve as he shook his hand from the pain, Billy laughing as he wiped the blood from his lips.

"Looks like you got some fire in you after all, huh?" Billy grins, a fire in his eyes and (y/n) watched with worry as she moved the kids behind her. "I've been waiting to meet this King Steve everybody's been telling me so much about!" Billy walked closer to Steve but he pushes him back with his fingers.

"Get out." he hisses. There was a pause and (y/n) thought that would be over but Billy instantly moves to punch Steve but he manages to dodge, swinging one back at Billy again.

"Billy!" (y/n) gasps out and Steve grinds his teeth hearing her call for the bastard instead of him, punching Billy again. "Stop it! Steve stop it please!" He hated the way (y/n) was begging him to stop, she should be on his side and Steve continues punching Billy back into the counter over and over. "Steve please-" (y/n) gasps as Billy smashes a plate into Steves's head and he stumbles back, punching him in the face. "Billy wait-" he ignores (y/n) and heads straight for Steve.

"No one tells me what to do!" Billy headbutts Steve in the face and he falls down.

"Billy stop!" (y/n) screams out as he punches Steve over and over, running over to try and stop him before he goes too far. "Billy please-"

"-(Y/N)!" the kids scream out and Billy stops when he feels his hand hit someone else that wasn't Steve, his heart racing as he slowly turns around to find (y/n) on the floor as she held her cheek. His heart drops to his stomach as she looked at him with tears in her eyes, noticing the red mark on her cheek that she tried to cover from him.

"(y/n)..." Billy whispers, looking at her with wide eyes and he sees his mother staring up at him in fear as he stood over her where his father stood. He had hurt the one person he swore he would protect and became the person he loathed. Billy gasps as his chest burned, quickly getting off Steve and backing away from (y/n) as she stood up. "I hurt you..." Billy's hands shook, noticing the blood on his knuckles and he flinches away from (y/n) as she reached out to him.

"Billy, it was an accident."

"I hurt you (y/n)... I'm so sorry..."

"It's ok... Billy it's ok-"

"-no, it's not ok. I became him. I promised I wouldn't but I became him..." Billy runs his fingers through his hair, looking over at the kids who watched in fear and the whole situation dawned on him. "I'm so sorry (y/n)..." he mumbles out to her as she stood in front of him. "I'm so sorry."

"Billy wait-" he runs out of the house and (y/n) hesitates, one foot out the door to chase after him and the other in the house where the kids tried to help Steve. Max saw (y/n) tear up, turning her head back and forth, wondering what to do.

"(y/n), we'll look after Steve, go find him!" Max yells out and (y/n) looks at her with wide eyes.

"I-" she looks at Steve who was unconscious and she frowns. "I'm so sorry Steve." and (y/n) runs off to get in her car when she realised Billy didn't get in his, probably walking in the dark and she speeds down the road. "Shit, where is he!?" she looks down at either side of the road, seeing a figure up ahead and she speeds up, turning the car sharply to stop in front of him. Billy freezes at the car that narrowly misses him, (y/n) getting out and running towards him.

"Stay away (y/n)-" she jumps into his arms and he quickly catches her, suddenly feeling like he could breathe again as he held her in his arms.

"Billy..." (y/n) holds him tight, burrowing her head in his neck as he froze under her touch.

"I could hurt you again-"

"-it was an accident... Billy, you won't turn into your dad..." (y/n) whispers out and his breath hitches, closing his eyes as he hugs (y/n) back. "You're not him and you will never turn into him." Billy breaks, his guard that he held up crumbling and he hugs (y/n) tighter, sighing out into her hair.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, (y/n) I'm so sorry..." he whispers over and over again and she leans back to look at him. She saw the fear in his eyes of turning into the man he hated, leaning her forehead on his as she gently held his cheeks.

"Billy... It's ok..." she mumbles out and he closes his eyes, bumping his nose against hers before opening his eyes. 

He sets her down on her feet and leans back, frowning at the red mark on her cheek. He leans his hand up, hesitant to touch (y/n) after flinching back from the heat of her cheek. She holds his hand and lays it gently on her cheek, brushing her thumb against the back of his hand and Billy looked so sad. He lays his head on her shoulder, holding her again as (y/n) let him apologise to her over and over.

~~~~~~~~

(y/n) drove down the road as Billy sat in her car, silent but was holding her hand the entire time. She glanced at him every now and then as he stared out the window and she was worried about him. She squeezed his hand before looking straight at the road, not noticing Billy turning to look at her. His mind raced with thoughts of why (y/n) cared about him, about why she ran to find him and took care of him. Why him? Why did he deserve anyone's kindness like this?

Billy stared at (y/n) with a frown, looking at her unmarked cheek as the other was hidden from him. The lights of the road lamps lit her face up every now and then and he glanced down, noticing the sleeve of her hoodie falling down her arm. Billy narrows his eyes, seeing dark lines run across her skin in a flash of a second before he was set in darkness as (y/n) parked in front of the Byers house.

"I'll be back." (y/n) nods to Billy and gets out of her car when she notices Billy's car gone. "They didn't..." (y/n) slams open the door of the house to find it empty of the reckless kids and an unconscious Steve. "Those rascals!" She hisses out, grabbing her bag and the guns along with a wlakie talkie and running back to her car to store it in the trunk. "Those punks drove off with your car." (y/n) says as she gets in the car, giving Billy her bag before using the walkie talkie. "One of yous better answer or I swear to fucking god... imma hunt you down."

"(y/n)!" Lucas squeaks out in fear.

"Where are you." she orders and Lucas tells her where they are. "If Steve is out cold, who's driving!?"

"Max! She knows how to drive!" Dustin yells out.

"Only in the car park! That doesn't count!" Mike screams back and (y/n) sighs.

"All of you shut up! Tell me how to get to wherever you are! Billy, hold this please." (y/n) passes the walkie to him and revs up her car, speeding down the road as Lucas guides her.

"Billy's there!?"

"Yes! I may or may not have told him what's going on."

"What!?" the kids screech out.

"(y/n) you didn't!"

"I'm sorry! It's better he knows than keeping him in the dark! Plus he can help! We need the manpower!"

"Fine!" Mike sighs out and (y/n) grins at Billy who sat in confusion as the kids bring him up to speed on what's been happening.
