Only about seven people almost drowned on Steve's watch. None of them was Billy Hargrove.

Finally, my first entry for @harringrovesummerbingo is done ♡

A2 - Lifeguard Steve ♡

(This took me much longer than I expected XD)

Max: Who invited these people, Stalker? Lucas: What people? 😘

[medusapelagia]

I promised myself I would not join any other event till January because I have too many WIPs and too many events.

Well… I guess I was lying! 😍

Hi!

This is the official blog page for harringrovemovember! This is an event co-run by @intothedysphoria and @hargrove-mayfields along with support from @jaylikesrainbowtigers. This is a harringrove event which hopes to spread awareness about men and mental health, particularly men from marginalised communities.

The event is running from the 20th to the 26th of November and accepts fic, art, edits, ect. All works will be accepted as long as they’re harringrove and stick to the theme of men and mental health

Here is the prompt list for anybody who hasn’t seen it (edit made by @hargrove-mayfields)

We’ll post more info as the date gets closer, including what works the mods are not comfortable including in the event and how you can get more involved with the event if you’re interested (e.g if anybody would be interested in an event discord).

Please keep in mind that this is an event run by autistic moderators, so tone indicators when sending asks and patience with the mods if you contact them on a low spoons day would be appreciated. Furthermore, any ableism towards this event or the moderators will be dealt with swiftly and appropriately. Also it goes without saying but there is a zero tolerance policy on misogyny, racism, any type of queerphobia, transphobia, classism, antisemitism, islamophobia, ableism, xenophobia, ect. This is an event which is made to be inclusive to everyone and any bullying or mean spirited behaviour made towards another blog participating in the event will not be tolerated.

On behalf of all of the mod team, I sincerely hope everyone in this event has fun and we’ll see you all in November!

What if Billy didn't get the job at the pool, but still needed to earn money over the summer? So he takes every odd job that people ask of him, as long as they can pay.

And unfortunately for Steve, his mother both wants the house repainted AND can pay, so she hires Billy to do it.

It's a pretty big house, but Billy assures her that he can do it alone, as well as buy the paint and tools needed as long as she picks a shade she likes.

And then of course Steve's parents fuck off to some tropical island or something, and leaves Steve to deal with Billy.

And deal with him, Steve does. Because despite how Billy assured Steve's mom that it wasn't going to be a problem, he still finds any and all reasons to bother Steve about every little thing. Where do they keep their ladder? Do they have a bucket? Where can he fill it with water, and is there a bathroom with a sink he can use to wash the tools?

One would think that Steve would be able to avoid him, as Steve has landed his own summer job at the new mall, but oh no. Billy is a morning person. Steve finds this out on the second day, when he is awoken by some terrible noise and almost falls out of his bed in fright, and looks out the window only to see Billy's grinning face right outside his second story window. The noise comes again, and Steve fumbles to get the window open to ask what the fuck Billy is doing?? And Billy just smiled and holds up a paint scraper. "Yesterday was washing the facade. Today I start scraping off all the old paint."

Which Steve is pretty sure is a made-up step of the process designed to annoy him, specifically, but whatever.

It takes a long time. Steve thought the whole thing would take a couple of days, tops, but boy was he mistaken. "Your mom is paying for this to be done PROPERLY", Billy says. Which apparently includes washing, then scraping, then one coat of some kind of oil, one coat of a white paint, and two coats of the shade Steve's mom picked. And even though Billy is actually quite handy and (Steve hates to admit it) pretty fast, it is a big house. Steve starts to despair, thinking he'll never get rid of him. The guy is there when he leaves for work, and he's often there when Steve gets home, too. And that's not even mentioning the times when Steve has a day off.

The thing is, though, that even though Steve wants to keep being annoyed, it's difficult to keep it up. Because although Billy loves to annoy him, he actually keeps their interactions short before going back to work. And while Steve adamantly refuses to help in any way (there was nothing wrong with the previous shade on the house, and also he's not getting paid!), he finds himself watching Billy work more often than not.

He watches him climb up and down the ladder, refilling the bucket; he watches him work the brush up and down and from side to side with confident strokes (and it's frankly unfair the way his biceps look when he's doing that), and he watches him get more and more tanned as the days go by.

Even while wearing a paint-stained simple T-shirt (which started off white) and a pair of cut-off jeans, even after shoving a goddamn cap on his hair to protect it against the sun or the paint or whatever, Billy looks good. Hell, even with paint smears on his face and hands and arms, and droplets of gray on his clothes and legs, he looks goddamn good.

It is so unfair.

Billy brought a Walkman with him one day, and is often found with the headphones covering his ears while he works. Which on the one hand is bad, because he'll hum whatever song he's listening to, off-key, which is annoying when Steve is home ... But on the other hand it's also good, because it means that Billy doesn't notice whenever Steve creeps up on him just to ... watch him.

One Wednesday when Steve is off work, it starts to rain. Steve doesn't think of it at first, because he's inside; he doesn't notice until ten minutes later when he hears a clang from the garage, and runs to check.

He finds Billy there, busy shoving things into the open garage to get them out of the rain - the buckets of paint have already been closed and carried inside, the brushes are wrapped in plastic, and the clang was probably the ladder that Billy has dragged inside and deposited on the concrete floor.

"Sorry," he says when he sees Steve there. "That rain came out of nowhere, I may have to redo the part I was working on today." He stands in the open doorway to the garage and looks out at the rain, making no move to walk inside where it's warm and dry (and why should he? Steve made it clear on day one that while Billy was hired to paint the outside of the house, he was NOT allowed inside under any circumstances - he could use the sink in the garage, thank you very much).

Steve is barely listening, because Billy is drenched from head to toe. The shorts have gone dark with water and the T-shirt is clinging to him like a second (slightly see-through) skin. Steve's mouth is dry.

"It doesn't look like it'll stop any time soon", Steve says, haltingly.

Billy glances at him from where he's standing, arms crossed over his chest, prickles on his wet arms. "Don't worry, your mom doesn't pay me by the hour."

Fuck it. Fuck it all to hell.

"No, I mean," Steve starts, and knows he's going to regret this. "You can come inside and wait, if you want. I can get you a ... towel."

This time, Billy turns his entire body to Steve. His hands fall down to his sides, and - Steve can see his nipples through the fabric. Billy's face splits in a slow grin when he sees where Steve is looking.

"And some dry clothes!" Steve hurries to add. "To borrow."

Billy keeps grinning, like he's figured something out. "You're too kind." He motions to the door that Steve came from, that leads into the house. Because Steve just invited Billy Hargrove into his house. "After you."

Steve is so fucked.

"It's all castles in the sand.." Billy used to say about the dream he had, once he finally dared to share it with Steve.

"But what if not? What if we make it last? You have a dream and I'm not busy for the rest of my life, so let's just do it. We do it."

And they did.

Steve had never seen Billy so nervous and excited at the same time, the day they finally opened for business.

"It's gonna be perfect." Steve promised with a kiss. "This one is gonna last."

It was July 4th 1989, the day their life began.

Get ready... ✨️

Hello everyone!!

This is a month long prompt event centered around Dom Steve Harrington. Running in June there will be 16 prompts total, split into two categories, Kink and General. There will also be a bingo board participants may fill out for some added fun!

The Rules:

◇ Participants must be 18+ (Contributions do not have to be explicit, but the event is mature in nature.)

◇ All Steve ships are welcome! (Including polyships!)

◇ Explorations of sexual and non-sexual dominance are equally encouraged, as long as Steve is the character fulfilling that role. (All prompts can be used for either.)

◇ Participants can use as many or as few prompts as they like, in whatever order and pace is best for them. You have free reign! (Unless you're shooting for bingo 🎉)

So, not that many rules after all, but maybe your Dom Steve will be more strict 🤷‍♀️

Prompts will be released later this month so that participants have plenty of time to create ahead of the posting season.

This account will also be recommending Dom Steve fics once a week until June! Feel free to send in your favorites and they might end up on the list!

We hope everyone is excited! Stay tuned for updates! 💙
