[ There was a time when he would have been too proud to accept this sort of doting from Steve, now he can admit that he loves it. He's longed for someone to take care of him like this for a long, long time. ]
I'm fine. [ He says, but he still leans into the hug. ] You make me so goddamn happy, you know that?
[ And Steve does. He doesn't feel just like some dumbass following around after someone who's just putting up with him. He feels like he and Billy match, in some weird way. ]
You too. 'd have said fuck it to all of this without you around.
[ He can't imagine having to deal with this pace without Steve. After all of this he's pretty sure that Steve is his soulmate and ending up in Hawkins was some crazy twist of fate to bring them together...
...at least, if he didn't die. But he tries not to focus on that, and he certainly never brings it up around Steve. ]
God. We are so the hottest people here. [ He stares at Steve for a moment before kissing him. ]
[ steve can't argue with that; the truth is the truth.
content, he loses himself in kissing Billy. sometimes he can almost understand all these people who say they'd rather stay here than go home. there's nothing like this waiting for him back there, he's sure of it. ]
You know-- if you were butt-ugly, I'd still fuck you.
I'd still fuck you even if all your hair fell out.
[ And that's a real compliment coming from Billy, who is still shallow as a wading pool. ]
But I'm glad we both stay hot forever. [ Yeah, after spending some time as his actual older self, Billy has accepted that he's just a different kind of hot in the future. ]
You know you're more than just great hair, right? [ He runs his fingers through Steve's hair. Sometimes he can't tell how much of Steve's self esteem is wrapped up in his hair rather than everything else about him. ]
I'm not in love with your hair. I'm in love with you.
