Summary
“Ice skating... Along the road?”
Max’s eyebrows had climbed to her hairline when the outing was first proposed, much like Billy’s were now as she tried to convince him to give her a ride to Mike Wheeler’s. The satisfaction of having someone share the same initial incredulity she had felt at the outlandishness of the idea was ruined by that someone being Billy.
“The ditches are frozen solid out near the fields where the new mall is being built.” Max tried to make that sound like the end of it. No such luck.
---
AKA: Come January 1985, Max and Billy are roped into ice skating in roadside ditches, an activity Steve Harrington swears is worth putting up with each other for while freezing cold in the middle of nowhere. No one mentioned all the manual labor it would take for that to even be possible, let alone how tense things still are between Max and Billy since November. The Party is along for the ride. This was supposed to be a simple, mostly fluffy one-shot exploration of the stepsiblings' dynamic, with some hints at Harringrove from Max's POV. But it got WAY out of hand so now we're splitting this up.

Summary
When the teacher turns away, Harrington sighs. Slouches in his seat. Tips his head back far enough that their eyes accidentally meet. It's not Harrington who looked away first. It almost never was. In the dream, though, Billy can look and look. And look, and look, and look. The devil doesn't mind about this part of him. Maybe appreciates how useful it is.
