[ So, Billy’s still a little shell-shocked. From the hive-mind monster, to dying, to mayoral decrees, to sitting here in purgatory with Steve Harrington, who could just be a figment of his imagination. He doesn’t know all that much yet, but he knows there’s some scifi bullshit afoot, folks complaining about the lack of technology or confused about the existence of lamps. But, when he saw Harrington, he figured… they’d be swiped at the same time. That makes sense.
He’s still skating backwards, his foot doing a little side to side to keep him moving. And then it — slips. And he crashes backwards onto his ass. ]
Fuck.
[ The cigarette also hits the ground, but he plucks it back up because he’s gross and not about to let it go to waste. There’s a vague embarrassed flush on his face, because his body remembers he cares about appearances and looking cool, but his brain is whirling as he pushes himself back up into a stand. ]
Fuck. Really? That sounds like bullshit. [ He guesses Steve does look different, now that the possibility is there in his brain. Hair styled just a touch differently, a little older. Steve was always older than him, but now he's even older than him, and the thought makes him —
Makes him laugh. A little unhinged in the middle of the rink. Nothing to see here, folks. ]
