Summary
Billy is eighteen when the Russians take him.
All sun-browned skin and golden hair when they drag him out of Starcourt, when he disappears right from under everybody’s noses. A fake funeral and a closed casket. A body they never see.

Summary
As if being the designated babysitter wasn't enough, Steve finds himself accidentally becoming the group's designated birthday baker. Not that he minds - he likes to feel needed, plus it's a good distraction from the nightmares that have plagued him since that fateful night at the mall.
He does mind, however, the fact that Billy Hargrove seems to be weaving his way into the group. He's apparently had a personality transplant since the Mind Flayer nearly tore him apart, or so the story goes, but Steve isn't duped. It's fine, though, he can carry on ignoring the guy and ignoring the way his face still tingles with the ghost of Billy's fists.
But then, get this.
Steve has to bake Billy a birthday cake, too.

Summary
“Jesus, Harrington.” Hargrove’s scrubbing his palms on his scrubs, like he’s trying to wipe off Robin’s cooties. “Just pick anything, it’s not that deep.”
“Whu—” Steve sputters, because seriously, what the hell does Hargrove know? “Then you come up with something, asshole!”
Hargrove’s mouth snaps shut. Clearly the dickhead didn’t think Steve was gonna call him on it. Chewing his lip for a minute, Hargrove’s eyes dart around the room. Then, slowly, like he’s sounding out the letters, he grumbles, “… Arnold.”
That sounds… familiar. Why is that familiar? Wait a fucking second. “Like the Terminator guy?”
Hargrove bristles, crossing his arms defensively. “Yeah, Harrington, like the Terminator guy.”
---
Billy comes back from the dead, Steve gets strong-armed into letting him crash on his couch, and more or less winds up championing the asshole’s character development. (Also, there’s a baby somewhere in the mix.)
