    Summary

    Four weeks after Starcourt, Steve buries his broken heart in a box alongside a pile of blurry Polaroids, love letters from a secret relationship and the keys to a wrecked, blue Camaro.

    Four years later, Steve's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere California. The mechanic at the closest shop has blue eyes and blond hair… and a name tag that says Billy Hargrove.
    *****

    "I watched him die." Steve barely got the words out. "I thought Billy DIED. I loved him and then I lost him, but you pulled him from Starcourt and had him alive all this time? Why doesn't he remember me?"

    "We erased his memories." Dr. Owens explained. "We rewrote the last few years of his life and gave Billy a chance at a decent life."

    "Without me." Steve said numbly. "A life without me. I loved him."

    "If you love him, then leave." Owens stated. "You being here might trigger real memories and the mental trauma could--"

    "I can't say goodbye to Billy again." he whispered. "I-- I won't."

    "You're making a mistake."

    "Stay away from us." Steve stepped away from the doctor. "I'm not losing Billy again, so stay the hell away."

    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.)
