Billy finds a dandelion as a child and makes a wish for someone that will love him forever.
-
“Tell me a story.”
Billy snorts, “what are you a baby?”
“Yes,” Max huffs and he laughs, “so tell me a story asshole.”
He is still laughing as he hums trying to think of something that will not lead to trouble if she squeals or that she has heard before. “You ever heard of a dandelion wish before?” Max shakes her head, Billy’s smile is sad as he remembers his momentary imaginary friend. “I once wished a boy into existence.”

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
Six years after the Battle of Starcourt, Single Dad Alpha!Billy Hargrove returns to Hawkins with his son for a wedding, for Christmas... and to reunite with the Omega he left behind.
****
"I thought I’d come back to Hawkins and you’d be one white picket fence away from Ted Wheeler." Billy tried to smile. "Bonded and mated up, two kids, a dog, house in the suburbs, the whole thing.""Yeah well." Steve took a slow drink of his coffee. "I'm not exactly the white picket fence type anymore."
"Waiting for the right Alpha?" Billy couldn't help the hope in his voice, but it was dashed when Steve's lip curled in a snarl, "Oh fuck you, Billy Hargrove. You left me."
"Omega." Billy shook his head. "Steve, I never meant to--"
"Fuck you, Billy Hargrove." Steve repeated in a heartbroken whisper. "You left me."
"...I'm here now though."
