Billy's Partners and How They Would Confront Neil

a HC roundup

Harringrove/Steve: Steve is definitely throwing his weight around. His mom is really respected in the community after all. Neil wouldn't expect him to hold up in a physical fight though, but I think he could do it if he was really feeling himself.

Mungrove/Eddie: Totally theatrical. Eddie makes plans and has the whole speech planned and again, I don't think he'd be totally out of it in a physical fight. But he would want to fight with words.

Byergrove/Jonathan: Most prepared, A for Effort. His speech might be a little nervous but if Neil attacks him he's READY. He has a whole bag packed in his car for Billy he's doing this thing.

Calicheer/Chrissy: She does not want it to get physical, she's doing everything she can to not have that happen. I do think Neil might be able to cow her into tears but she would take Billy and run and between her cheer friends she can find a place to hide him.

Wheelgrove/Nancy: Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, she would totally charm Neil into a conversation and then turn the tables on him. Also she would bring a little backup weapon, though I don't think she would want to use it unless as a last resort.

Cargrove/Jason: Most unhinged. It is absolutely getting physical, and I don't know if he would win but by God he would stand up for his man. Also he would scream bible verses as retorts.

Hollogrove/Heather: Similar to Eddie where she plans a speech, but I think it would be the meanest speech. 100% Neil cries for this one. She also has a bag packed for Billy at her house, but I think if it got physical she would run.

LMK if there's a Billy Rarepair you'd like to see because Billy should get his defenders and his moment!

Tagging @intothedysphoria @applewillowstone @dragonflylady77 and @adelacreations have these hc from my beautiful brain.

Hopper, after Billy moves in: Has El told you about the three inch rule?

Billy: The what?

Hopper: The door has to stay open three inches whenever your partner is over.

Billy: Well, I’m not into exhibitionism but okay.

Byergrove shippers usually have Joyce become Billy’s mother figure.

Mungrove shippers usually have Wayne become his father figure.

Steve bringing a him a bunch of children to adore.

Argyle would give him a bunch of auntie/uncles and grandparents who try and stuff him with food every time he comes by.

So I would like to propose Stoner Polycule where Billy has a whole family unit plus siblings (Will, Max, El) and four amazing boyfriends who have to share him with

1. Wayne because “no the boy’s going fishing with me, Eddie, since you refuse to”

2. Joyce because “Billy is going shopping with me, Johnathan, he can’t go on a date right now, go with one of the others”

3. The kids because “Billy said he’d help us paint our D&D figures, you can’t take him!”

“Yeah, he’s helping me with homework too, I’m gonna fail English and not like you can help, Steve”

4. Aunties/Uncle and grandparents because “oh he’s much too thin, Argyle, don’t you feed him??? Poor thing, come with abuelita, I have something tasty for you, chico sol.”

And Bonus they also have to deal with Billy’s and their own friends stealing him too:

5. Gareth: “What? No, Billy can’t come to the phone, he’s tearing up my drum set…No, Eddie, you skipped out on practice to go suck face with Jonathan Byers, we’re keeping him.”

Jeff: “Dude he knows guitar too, where did you find this guy?!”

Frank: “If he can sing too, you’re getting replaced, face sucker.”

6. Chrissy: “wait what??? Noooo, Steveeee, you can’t take Billy out Saturday, he promised to do my hair for my date with Heather!”

7. Heather: “Yeah, no, Fridays is girls night…I don’t care if he’s a guy, he’s one of the girls, Jonathan! Why are you ever speaking to me? Ew.”

8. Patrick: “Ooooh…Yeah no. That won’t work. Billy and I do our fortnightly junkyard smashing Tuesday…Yeah, no, you can’t come. You have to wait till we’re done if you wanna take him to the movies. Wait, who even are you…? Argyle? Uh, okay.”

9. Robin: “You always hang out with Billy! I wanna hang out with Billy too! He taught me how to make my girlfriend happy scream, Steve, he’s a magician.”

10. Nancy: “No. We’re busy. Take it up with department, Jonathan.”

Max: “Yeah, Jonathan.”

Jonathan: “Why do you hate me??”

Max: “You know what you did, brother snatcher.”

Jonathan: “There are fOUR OF US???? Why do you dislike me specifically????”

Max: “Well, Steve’s not here, so I can only really bully you.”

Nancy: “She’s right, you’re a Steve replacement.”

Jonathan: “Well Steve and I are gonna kiss your brother with tongue.”

Max: “Gross!”

Jonathan: “Then I’m going to kiss your ex with that same tongue!”

Nancy: “Jonathan, oh my god, don’t be gross.”

The boys love each other but they would like to have ONE DAY WITH THEIR BLOND BOYFRIEND THANKS

[rockabye-billy]

And Billy values these qualities in a man!

[suspiciouslackofclowns]

Moving into an apartment together kind of turns Billy into a lazy piece of shit over the course of just a few months.

And Jonathan is completely fine with it, for some odd reason.

Will vouches for him every time Dustin brings it up. Says that Billy isn’t lazy, he just enjoys lounging around the house on his days off. And Dustin can’t really argue with that, considering that Will frequents their place the most and thus spends more time around the blond than anyone else (excluding Max).

It’s also a wonder why Will likes Billy. Especially since he sees him so often.

Dustin can barely stand to be near him for five minutes at a time, much less a whole weekend. And forget about spending the night.

When Billy and Jonathan first settled in together, Billy was nonstop moving furniture, hanging things up, and tending to their little yard. It was hard to catch him standing still for more than a few moments, and even harder for Jonathan to get him to sit down.

Now, their yard stays maintained, but Billy is always sleeping or lounging around while Jonathan cooks and does laundry.

If Jon was a woman, it would seem like more of an obvious problem, Dustin supposes.

But he isn’t, so no one cares.

Except Dustin.

“Hey guys, a little quieter, yeah?” Jonathan whispers.

He stands in front of the stove, stirring hamburger meat while it begins to brown in a pan. The kids all glance over at him from the living room. Will turns the tv down a few notches before he sets the remote back on the coffee table.

Dustin sighs and crosses his arms.

“It’s past noon, we shouldn’t have to be quiet just so your brother’s boyfriend can sleep,” he huffs.

Will quirks a brow at him before he turns back to the movie, unbothered but the statement. That only serves to make Dustin’s irritation blossom into anger.

He reaches for the remote and turns the volume up past where it was before Will turned it down, earning stunned glances from his friends. Will even makes a grab for the remote, but Dustin holds it away. Not far enough, apparently, because Mike snatches it easily and turns the tv down to barely audible.

“What, so you’re on his side now?” Dustin grumbles.

“Whose side?” Mike asks. “Billy’s sleeping and Jon asked us to keep it down, dude, what’s your deal?”

“So what if he’s sleeping? He’s always sleeping. Have you guys seriously not noticed?”

There’s a beat of silence. Will shrugs nonchalantly.

“Yeah. I just don’t see why it’s a big deal to be considerate about it.”

Unbelievable. Dustin sighs and it feels like he’s breathing fire.

“Is it considerate of him to make your brother do everything around the house while he naps constantly?” Dustin snaps.

He snaps his mouth shut once he realizes what he just said — he still feels a little lighter having said it, though. Like he’s let the dam break and now there’s no longer a building pressure behind his skull.

There’s a chuckle from the kitchen that earns the kids’ attention.

“Bill does stuff around the house,” Jonathan says. “He does the dishes, mows the grass, and helps me out on cleaning day.”

Dustin furrows his brows.

“How does he do all that if he’s always asleep?”

Jonathan just laughs again, and sighs fondly when the latch on the bedroom door clicks open. Will nudges Dustin with his elbow.

“Dude, Billy works graveyard shifts,” he whispers.

There’s a consecutive nod around the coffee table, and Dustin’s expression blossoms red with sudden realization — and guilt.

Especially when he spies Billy meandering into the kitchen with dark circles under his eyes.

The blond closes in on Jonathan, lazily draping his arms around his waist and resting his chin heavily on his shoulder. Jonathan smiles and shifts on his feet to accommodate Billy’s weight.

“Whose neck do I need’a fuckin’ wring?” Billy grumbles.

Jonathan chuckles and presses a kiss into his messy curls, earning a little lopsided grin.

“Remote accidentally got sat on,” Jonathan lies. “Go back to bed, grumpy gills.”

“‘M not grumpy…”

“Uh huh. Want some tea, since you’re up?”

Billy sighs. Curls his arms more snugly around Jonathan’s torso and closes his eyes, tucking his face into the crook of his neck.

“I’m okay.”

“You sure?” Jonathan coos. “I can make you a cup.”

The blond is silent. Just shakes his head and leans into Jonathan while he cooks, unbothered by the occasional movement of his arms when he reaches for things.

By the time Jonathan shuts the stove off, having finished preparing the hamburger helper, Billy starts to sag more heavily into him. The brunet chuckles softly and lightly taps Billy’s forearm, and he lifts his head.

“C’mon, hun, let’s get you back to bed.”

Jonathan presses a kiss to his forehead, earning a sleepy smile before they pull apart and pad into the bedroom together.

Meanwhile, Dustin sinks further into his seat on the sofa.

“Did you not know he worked nights?” Lucas asks, amused.

An embarrassed flush rises up Dustin’s neck as his friends chuckle at him.

Of course, they’re never gonna let him live it down. It’s what they do. If he’s lucky, nobody will tell Billy about this and he won’t have to completely die of embarrassment.

Judging by the maniacal cackle that erupts from the bedroom, he should expect an earlier grave than he thought.

BILLY HARGROVE DESERVES TO GIGGLE

[ariesbilly]

[creepydude78]

Some byergrove and mungrove for you all,

guys hanging out

[hgrve]

[shieldofiron]

Billy: Can we both wear our denim on denim? Jon: Of course.

[ellewritesandrants]

Hopper, after adopting Billy: No! I don’t want to hear another word about this!

Billy: But dad-

Hopper: You are underage! I could barely stand one adult boyfriend but three? No!

Billy: But dad, I love them!

Hopper: If they love you, then they can wait the eight months until you’re legal.

[billyharringson]

I've been thinking about this recently and I'm not sure why but Billy has always struck me as a girl dad, however that said I do head cannon him with different children depending on who he's with. So here is my Billy ship kids head cannons that no one asked for.

Harringrove (Billy/Steve): 1 child. A little boy. Steve wanted a big family but after a year or so of having just one child they both decided one was enough.

Mungrove (Billy/Eddie): 2 children. 2 little girls. I image there's about three years difference between their daughters and I actually think it was Billy that got broody again when their eldest moved out of the baby phase and into a toddler. It wasn't hard to convince Eddie to have another though.

Byergrove (Billy/Jon): I swing about a bit on this because I feel like they'd either have no children or lots. Like 5 kids. A mixture of boys and girls with at least one set of twins thrown in there.

Argilly (Billy/Argyle): 2 children. Twins. A boy and a girl. The little boy takes after Argyle and the little girl takes after Billy. They're both fiercely protective of their respective siblings and their parents.
