A Billy kind of love

- Growing up in Hawkins, being close with Steve and Jonathan

- Hopper The Godfather 🤪

- Babysitting the kids growing up

- Moving at 14 because father got a promotion

- Living in NYC and not even a few months of living there, getting r**** and then two years later parents die in a car crash so Maria returns to Hawkins to live with her moms best friend in her old house

- Debbie (the “aunt”) trusts her and doesn’t care how long or where she is seeing as she works long hours and lets her do whatever she wants

- Maria riding her fathers motorcycle around Hawkins and no one knowing who she is

- Summer before her senior year

- Lives on Max and Billy’s street and sees Max one day trying to do a trick on her board and helps her out

- Max becoming quickly attached and introduces her to the group only to find out that they all knew her ( is highkey jealous and becomes clingy af)

- Reunited with Steve and Jonathan and the kids

- Mother figure (sorry Steve)

- Everyone calling her Ma and El becoming so attached she calls her Mom when she doesn’t realize it, when she’s sleepy or in a panic (which is often lets be honest)

- Takes care of her in Hopp’s absence, stays over when Hopp is working late and feeds her actual food

- Hosts Dungeons and Dragons at her house every other week and everyone sleeps over during the summer

- Billy banging on the door only to find Maria opening it in just a tank and small sleep shorts with her glasses on and a zip up hoodie that’s falling off one shoulder

- Shocked for a moment before turning on the charm

- “Hey, you must be Maria right? I’m Billy, Max’s older brother. She never told me you were so gorgeous”

- Maria letting out a small scoff/laugh and telling him about the tradition of sleeping over every other week, eyes lighting up when she tells him what they do

- Him listening attentively to what she says with a small smile and thanking her for watching out for the kids, politely declining her invite to join them for dinner even though he lowkey really wanted to but instead wishes her goodnight and kisses her hand goodbye

- Everyone in shock at his behavior

- Lets Max stay there and for the rest of the night everyone is staring at Maria in shock

- The next day everyone leaves and Maria takes El and Max to the pool in her old pickup truck

- Sets up across the pool, directly in the line of sight of the lifeguard

- Billy immediately noticing it’s the girl he saw last night and sits up in his seat, peering over his sunglasses and bites his lip as Maria peels off her tank top and shimmies out of her shorts to reveal a tight red bikini that leaves little to the imagination

- Glaring at the other people checking her out

- Notices she comes the the pool every Monday, Wednesday and weekend for a couple hours before closing and stays till close when not as many people come unless the kids drag her and makes sure to be working those shifts

- Billy flirting with her at any and every opportunity but to no avail

- “Need some help applying sunscreen gorgeous?”

- “Actually yes please i can’t reach my back”

- Is slightly flustered at her soft skin and the small sigh that leaves her cherry lips

- Dies when he hears her speaking in Italian for the first time

- She was yelling at Hopper

- Noticed how he gets flustered when she speaks in her tongue and makes sure to compliment him in it somewhat often just to see his ears burn red

- Would make any and every excuse to see her and stops by her house claiming to look for Max

- The first time he’s reluctant to come over and get max is because he’s sporting a split lip and a bruise from his father but goes over anyway

- Tries to avoid eye contact and remain cool by keeping his sunglasses on even though it’s dark but when Maria gasps and cradles his face, taking off his glasses, he doesn’t see pity he sees heartbreak and is confused

- Immediately drags him to her couch, “sit”

- Gently cleans up his lip, letting out the softest sorry when he lets out a small hiss and gives him a pack of iced peas to bring down the swelling in his cheek

- “Max! Go to bed I’ll be there in a while I forgot to do something for a class”

- Forces him to stay the night and takes care of him

- From then on would come to her in the middle of the night to patch up and would cuddle with her, leaving a thank you note on her pillow, leaving before the sun came up

- Finds Max’s Walkie-Talkie one day when he hears your voice

- “Max… ple-please….. can….. can’t bre”

- Drops the Walkie-Talkie and sprints to her house, banging on the door but it’s locked so he runs to her window that’s always open and calls out her name

- “MARIA!”

- Finds her collapsed on the kitchen floor half conscious

- Barely coherent she tells him to get her nebulizer in the pantry cabinet and he fumbles around with shaking hands trying to figure it out

- He’s terrified, she’s barely breathing

- When her breathing becomes normal he doesn’t let go, he’s terrified

- She tells him it’s normal, her asthma is really bad and flares up randomly and leaves her so weak and tired

- Picks her up and cradles her to his chest

- “Let me take care of you now”

- Becomes SO protective

- Carries an extra inhaler on him at all times

- Never lets her forget to take it everyday at lunch

- After a really bad episode he confesses

- Cutest couple >:3

- He teases Maria but can’t handle when Maria does it back

- May have screamed when going on her motorcycle for the first time

- Hates the kids for stealing Maria’s attention

- Becomes a better person and has a better relationship with max

- Loves holding her in any way as a form of reassurance

- Secret hidden kisses

- Hand. On. Thigh. When. Driving.

- When either one is driving

- Doesn’t drive as fast anymore, still really fast but slightly slower but will speed up sometimes to make her laugh

- Keeps her mixtapes in the car

- Only lets her change the music

- Maria cutting Max and Billy’s hair

- Billy leaving marks on her to show people that she’s his and when she gives him some he becomes so proud and shows them off
