Steve who’s convinced that Billy is straight. I mean convinced. He was the only lunatic in the world who would start liking a girl more after she waved a gun in his face… And it turned out that after Billy apologized to Lucas, Steve was next on the list. And he was having some kinds of feelings about it.

Goes through all seven levels of hell because he’s had guy crushes before sure, but it’s never been like this. Not when Billy’s apologizing in the parking lot, spitting fire with a black eye that Steve doesn’t remember putting there. Not when Steve finally stutters out the explanation he came up with Hopper when they all got back, and Billy had cracked, patting a hand on Steve’s shoulder. That shoulder felt warm for the rest of the day.

And then he saw Billy leaning over Aimee Parkinson and his whole body turned to ice for a second. It was probably just a break up thing. Like his feelings were just acting up. After all Steve still likes girls. Still got interested… but then sometimes he would think about that warm shoulder, about hands that never had scrapes on them. Billy just had really nice hands, ok?

He was able to ride that explanation for another few months, hands shaking when they made contact in gym or when he handed him a beer those infrequent nights when he’d go on a drive and find Billy’s car out by the quarry. Just getting over Nancy still, the feelings spilling over. And sometimes guys get man crushes when they want to be friends. Right?

It’s only that day at Starcourt when he sees Billy drive his car into Mrs Wheeler’s station wagon to try to stop her from hitting Nancy that it hits him. This shit isn’t going away. Not that there’s much time to think of it. Between the fireworks and Steve’s throbbing head there was Billy. Billy hustling El away when Mrs Wheeler dragged her to the monster and promptly melted into it, absorbed. Billy, who was the first person to hug Mike Wheeler after, telling him it was going to be ok, that his mom loved him, Billy knew she did.

Between late nights at the hospital, and waking up to one of those nice hands laid over his. They were friends. And it was a level of hell as of yet unimagined.

Friends, as it turned out, got jobs together. Fucking Keith loved Billy. Thought he was a laugh riot because Billy could quote some stupid British movie from memory. Because Billy was a nerd, underneath all the swagger and the unbuttoned shirts. And even that made Steve’s knees weak.

Eventually Robin clues him in. Gives him a word. Turns out liking guys and girls and basically whoever he likes is not the singular suffering of one Steven Alessandro Harrington. And it’s nice to have the word for it, even if he can’t do jack about it.

And then one night they’re shooting the shit after a late shift. Billy’s got his shirt off and his family video vest on, because he’s a demon from the fifth dimension. And Steve’s got extra cologne on because they’re hanging out. And they’re talking about how El wants her powers back and… Billy starts crying.

He starts babbling about Mrs Wheeler, how it’s Billy’s fault, all of it. Because she was driving out on that road to meet him.

Steve turns to ice again. Because he knew Billy was straight but… this…

But Billy keeps crying. Talking about his dad, how his dad always wants him to be a man. That he had to lie he had a date tonight just to be here. And how Billy thought if a rumor started with the moms in town it would finally get back to his dad, and his dad would believe it and lay off him. Believe that Billy is straight.

Steve lays a hand on Billy’s shoulder. And it burns, burns like hell. What did Billy always say. Looks like there’s some fire in him after all?

“What if you weren’t lying to your dad?”

Sniffles. Wiping tears away from blue eyes with his own hands.

“Whad’ya mean, Harrington.”

“This could be a date.”

Billy doesn’t move away. Those hands curl into Steve’s vest collar as their lips meet. Billy makes a noise, a sweet heavenly noise.

“You can call me Stephanie,” Steve whispers when they finally pull apart for a second. “If that makes you feel better.”

Billy snorts. “I could never want a girl like this. Sorry, I’ve only had my eye on one guy in town. Maybe you’ve heard of King Steve?”

Steve runs his hands up Billy’s shoulders, tangles in his hair, slotting their knees together. Billy can be very convincing.

Ah!!! Thank you for posting that last video! It was so fun! And now I am absolutely so excited to see you incorporate that into your ballet fic!!!

My pleasure anon. I'm really enjoying getting familiar with the many classic (and not so classic lol) variations.

[fizzigigsimmer]

I am so incredibly thankful for Master Ballet Academy for introducing me to the Slavic Sailor Dance. 😆 No notes. This is pure fun and absolutely will be making it into the fic. I mean, just imagine.

[fizzigigsimmer]

billy being a high school english teacher or maybe he teaches woodshop or mechanics or some other elective whatever anyway steve being a single dad coming in for a parent-teacher meeting and like immediately falling in love and billy just remaining super professional not giving steve any sign that hes into him but internally hes fantasizing about swiping everything off his desk and riding steve like a bronco

[fizzigigsimmer]

Actually it is a little crazy that Steve went from canon homophobe and slut shamer, who yes apologizes, to being God’s specialest princess who would never be with Billy because he’s a bad person. And or depending on the fic that Billy would easily be able to manipulate and take advantage of him. Like… okay. This is your man? Mr Beefy start a fight?

Billy is aggressive. Just not in the way Steve thought.

They're on the couch, a little tipsy after a few cans of beer. Billy's close and his mullet's a mess. Steve can't resist, just lets his hand wander. He's stroking Billy's hair, slowly scratching his scalp. Holding his breath the whole time.

Billy moves. Steve stops. Billy knocks his head back against Steve's hand. He makes a noise, almost a growl.

"Don't you dare to fucking stop," he grumbles.

Steve hides his grin and does as he's told. He knows Billy will deny it all in the morning.

It's a pattern, Steve notices. He shows Billy affection, Billy demands it and then pretends it never happens.

Steve likes to cuddle. Billy does, too, but of course he can't just ask for it.

"Stop tossing around," Billy groans, when they're in bed for like two minutes and Steve was just getting comfortable.

He doesn't complain though, because there are Billy's arms around him, pulling him closer. Billy snores into his ear and it's somehow easier to fall asleep.

When he's at Dustin's and his cat rubs against his leg, demanding ear scratches until she gets bored and fucks off, Steve can't help to see the similarity.

"You're a cat," he tells Billy, when his boyfriend sits on the kitchen counter and waits for him to finish making dinner. Steve never thought he would get bullied into making spaghetti with meatballs, because Billy can't say he likes it like a normal person.

Billy scrunches his nose. "I'm not a pet."

Steve rolls his eyes. "Sure, you're way too dangerous for that. Get down, you know the rules."

Billy scoffs at him, but gets from the counter.

Later, when they're in bed and Billy's draped all over him, Steve scratches him behind his ears. Billy's chest rumbles. He purrs.

Steve grins. He's so right.

Hi hi hi it’s the band au anon from a few days ago. Sorry for annoying you again with this headcanon but I’ve decided that billy would be the lead guitarist after watching the video for Aerosmith’s song Angel… the guitarist has a moment at the 51 second mark that made me go: “um… 😳😳😳 yeah. That’s billy.” Also outfits 👌👌👌thanks for listening to my brain rot. Okay, bye!

I don't think I'd seen that music video before you sent this post, but YES, Billy as an 80s guitarist is the look! It's the moment, and frankly I love your brain rot.

Lookbook: The One With The Wedding

If you're not 100% caught up on To B With Love this this may be a bit of a spoiler, but it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Steve & Billy get married. 🎉😘

I have been waiting to get to this point in the story and had a ton of fun researching and piecing together what a 19th century country wedding would look like for this world. So I thought I'd share my lookbook below.

Fun facts: in an early draft of my outline I had Stevie in a full gown. I was happy with this for the most part and it was in keeping with the rest of the world building - their society idolizes feminine beauty and male omegas are still encouraged/pressured to conform to those ideals. So yes, gowns made a lot of sense.

But then, thinking on it more I decided this was a good opportunity to further emphasize how their society's idolization of female omegas and subsequent devaluing of male omegas, has always othered them and forced them into a lower status within their social classes. So I started thinking about ways that dress might have been used to differentiate between male and female omegas.

Ancient Rome being one of the most influential early civilizations of the world seemed like good place to start digging for references and it bloomed from there into Greece, Albania, the Ottoman empire and Hanfu

So. Male omegas wear grecian style skirts called fusta, which traditionally are pleated and short without long trains. The ancients believed that showing off their legs would prevent families from passing off their male omegas as their more desirable female counterparts. The alternative was to wear a long skirt without a shirt or tunic to bare the chest.

However by the 1800s these skirts have undergone many different changes and been adapted by other cultures, so the popularity of a certain cut depends a lot on ones social class and their region.

But no matter what the cut, style, or padding, the skirt is typically paired with the some combination of cloak, sash, doublet, vest or jacket. These can be very elaborate with an emphasis on intricate detailing and embellishments. That can include flowers, jewels, coins, and family crests. There is a social expectation for male brides to be flashy, in order to make up for their lack in natural beauty.
