Stranger things... Season three:
At the battle of Stargate mall Billy hargrove comes face to face with Eleven who touches Billy softly on the cheek her heart pounding... As she flood Billy with memory's of his mother.. a glint of humanity shines in his eyes as he releases eleven blocking the attacks from the meatflayer...
Billy lets out a groan as he is knocked to the floor by one of its long twisted tendrils, it's sharp long teeth start to dig into Billy's skin blood pouring out his mouth and onto the floor.
Steve looks from the other side of the shopping center... Something comes over him... Something he has never felt before he grabs the sharp rod laying on the floor and leaps toward Billy severing the tendril freeing him from the claws of death.
Steve drags him to the scoops ahoy! While the party is setting off fireworks and launching them at the meatflayer...
Softly he applies alcohol and treats Billy's wounds.
"Why care about me so much now Harrington?" Billy wheezes
"I don't know... It just feels right" Steve replies quietly
After the battle had finished Billy is driven home by Steve
"I can't stay at home Steve..." Billy whispers
"Why would that be me tough knuckles?" Steve says joking
"My dad..."
Steve pauses instant alarm bells ringing in his head
"Okay then... I have an air mattress somewhere you can stay round mine"
"Thank you"
