Summary
The fourth of July is rough, usually.
Billy doesn’t like going out or being near crowds, on the day itself, and neither of them can stand the sound of fireworks. It’s why Steve always takes the day off. He knows his colleagues think he’s some crazy patriot, but it’s worth it.
The first few years after, Billy would just spend the whole day in bed. Steve brought him snacks and watched TV while Billy slept through the day. It’s gotten better slowly. Last year, they did a barbecue on the balcony for the first time. Billy manned the grill shirtless, the star-shaped scar in the middle of his chest on proud display.
This year, Steve’s actually been looking forward to it. Will and Dustin moving back east - home, he secretly thinks – has put him in a good mood. No matter that they spent all day dragging boxes around for Will and Dustin, no matter that he’s sweating like a pig by midday, no matter that he’s wasting his vacation days for this, Steve’s happy.
