Summary
After the chaos of Starcourt and Billy's laborious return to the land of the living...
Steve’s a coward. He could easily go up to Billy and ask him point blank what the fuck is wrong, but Steve has never had a civil conversation with Billy in their whole existence together. He’s a coward because if he confronts Billy and there’s no glint in those blue eyes, no glare, no spit, no condescending words… that could break him. That could break Steve and that’s honestly what he’s so afraid of.
So he resolves to just… watch. From the sidelines. When Billy picks up Max, or when he’s at the shop and Steve happens to drive by, or just- whatever.
Because Billy is California and Steve desperately needs to feel the sand in his toes and salty air in his hair.
